1875 as the default date probably spunds alien to DOGE, but COBOL was developed in ~1960 with the default date being 85 years in the past. Which would be like a programming language created today using 1940 as the default date for unknown dates.

Most of Russia's population today is to the north, south and west of the territory it held in 1389, six centuries of expansion and it is still largely centralised around Moscow. To the vast territories to the east lie most of modern Russia minorities - although still outnumbered by Slav Russians.

Sometimes people tend to say Russia is not a European country, but the interesting thing about Russia is some 80% of it's population is in European Russia. And half its whole population is in the western half of European Russia.

The release of those 5,000 Taliban prisoners is destabilising two countries with increasing violence from Afghanistan spilling into Pakistan. Ironically many conservative Pakistanis, some now rueful, once hailed the release of Taliban prisoners. Surprised the leopards now want to eat their faces.

Trump, the so-called anti-war candidate, ensured that 5,000 taliban terrorists who were safely in prison were released. This, among other things, ensured the rapid collapse of the Afghan government when America pulled out.

This will mean that Putin and his troops will be further emboldened to commit atrocities. Civilians who may have been spared may be killed - POWs who may otherwise be left alone now face increasing prospect of torture or abuse. And Trump's actions will be to blame in that case.

In 2023, echoing Trumpian rhetoric, Scholz appeared on the front cover of Der Spiegel declaring: “We must finally deport on a grand scale.” These moves were meant to show voters they were getting tough on immigration and to stop the AfD rise. Polls seem to suggest this has backfired.
