Can't say I can speak for Ukraine and Taiwan as you do but I would imagine Taiwan wouldn't want a status qou with missiles striking Taipei on an almost daily basis.
Was stuck on level 7 and came back to the thread to read the comments. Can't belive your first prompt actually printed the answer in a such easy manner.
In regarding the Mammoth there is some who claims that bringing the Mammoth back would help recreate the northern subarctic steppe grassland ecosystem that flourished in Siberia during the last glacial period. This would increase the animal density in Siberia and so on.
Since parts of Northern Europe still experiences Post-glacial rebound and will rise faster than the expected rise of the ocean level I find this project unnecessary. (I am still a sucker for megaprojects though)
The United States do not have the ability to degrade or deny a gps signal based on location unless that particular location has a physical GPS jammer. I don't see what the US would gain from disrupting civilian airtraffic navigation. Just stop with your "either is a likely cause here"-spiel.
I disagree with the article you posted in almost its entirely.
> president, Viktor Yanukovich, was forced to flee for his life.
What Ukraine experienced in 2014 was not a coup. The Ukrainian parliament deposed him after he left the country and after the parliament had order the security forces to stand down and leave the capital. I could go on how factually and biased that article is.
What's next? You're gonna claim Cuba is the fault of the Soviet union?
Not necessarily. Northern most part of Scandinavia have among the lowest prices for electricity in Northern and Central Europe. Most of the electricity there comes from Hydropower. It's also the same area where Sweden makes it green steel. Cheap and green electricity is not an oxymoron or impossibility.
I do not understand the argument for hydroelectric. The risk never seems worth the reward. Clean now? Yes. Cheap now? Yes. Potentially catastrophic? Yes. This feels like an unnecessary risk to take on. The lessons of Banqiao Dam, Vajont Dam, and Sempor Dam seem to be forgotten too quickly.
Despite that I think that both nuclearpower and hydropower are good and safe sources of electricity.
