This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)
Russia is gearing up to end its participation in the European Convention on fighting corruption in response to the decision to restrict Moscow's participation in the Council of Europe.
The Council of Europe, an international organization that focuses on the promotion of democracy and human rights, suspended Russia's participation in March, 2022, shortly after Russia launched what it calls a "Special military operation" in Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
Russia ceased to be a Party to the European Convention on Human Rights on 16 September 2022.

Informing yes, correcting no. OP is still correct saying greater ocean exploration is needed.
I also think the UK could contribute to space exploration and that it's not necessary to think a failure should lead to a complete abandonment of a lot of talented people working hard in that area of science.

Let's be honest, Russian airlines haven't ever really been the safest.
Take a look at Aeroflot's "safety" record if you want to be horrified.

Well, after Russia basically stole all leased passenger planes, they also lost access to ask service manuals; they are online now, and all Western manufacturers have blocked Russians from reading them.
Russia is many things, they are also a thief. And if you steal planes they may not work.
Also no spare parts are available.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 81%. (I'm a bot)
Experts and industry figures had voiced concerns about flight safety in 2022, a year that saw more than 130 incidents including 28 plane crashes.
Major plane makers Boeing and Airbus halted deliveries of new foreign jets and spare parts, forcing Russian airlines to "Cannibalize" grounded aircraft.
Regional prosecutors who announced an inspection did not identify the aircraft make, though flight tracking tools say a Boeing 737 performed recent flights on the same route.

When did the 'party of Reagan' turn into such fucking pussies?
The US has spent last 80 years or so in mostly unjustified wars, and as soon as there is a "good" war where the lines between good and evil in a conflict is so clearly defined, where one party is the clear aggressor, bombs hospitals, civilians and infrastructure, rapes , pillages and tortures, commits forceful relocation (aka kidnapping) of entire populations and tries to erase an entire culture. These are warcrimes, and probably crimes against humanity as well, which should honestly disgust most people in the west. Especially the party that supposedly has 'good christian values', but instead they potentially want to abandon almost a century old doctrine of defending democracies and western values.
Oh, and Russia also attacked the US in 2016, and threaten your country with nuclear antihalation almost daily on their BS state-owned TV channels. I just can't even comprehend how some republicans have found common ground with these unhinged thugs.
Its just disgraceful, but I guess Putin has paid off a lot of them on their Moscow christmas parties, and he is also a christian fascist (or, at least pretends to be religious) . They might also own Putin a bunch of favors after he helped them get elected, which Trump literally thanked him for on stage.
Edit: This is also perhaps by far the most cost-effective way for the US to destroy one of their main geopolitical rivals. The aid given is very low compared to the annual US defense budget (think I read somewhere it was like 3% of that budget this year or something), and no US soldier is even sent into the war.

Oh they are. The GOP’s tactic is to say that since Ukraine, an entire nation of people with a nation’s usual diversity of philosophies and political opinions, has members of their army who have shown themselves to have fascistic opinions, they should drop everything to root those elements out of their army instead of concentrating on the active invasion going on. And the fact that they haven’t stopped defending themselves from Russia long enough to do so must mean the entire nation is nazis.

We can do our best to
Protect a people and their territory next to our European Allies
Keep a Democracy stable in the wake of increased Populism
Strengthen alliances that can be leveraged to keep China and others from similar imperialist behavior
Weaken Russia’s ability to spread misinformation and interfere in elections
Versus….

All of those are great reasons for the average American.
For the GOP
Post war we are in a good position to have US contractors rebuiild, bringing billions of dollars or natural resources back home.
We potentially gain a NATO ally who will buy weapons and ammunitiion from our MIC to replace Soviet era shit.
We already gained two new ally nations that will add their support to NATO easing the burden for the rest.
As Ukraine rebuilds their oil and natural gas reserves, as well as their Nuclear power plants they will feed Europe until green energy production can take over.
All of the weapons we have been sending over are back stocks. Things we would have to pay to maintain, and or dispose of properly. They will be replaced by bleeding edge tech that will be built all over the US with exorbitant markups. Meaning kickbacks for politicians are a guarantee.

The thing is there's a difference and it's obvious.
In Ukraine, the US helping is like helping police that are shooting a mugger that stabbed a woman's family and is about to kill her.
In other conflicts the US is more just doing crazy mercenary shit for reasons that usually aren't that great, or even terrible.
So picking Ukraine as the example is just weird... it's the time we're doing something right.

Actually tons of people protested them in the US. I think Bush was one of the worst Presidents of all time. It's a shame Nancy Pelosi had the chance to do something about his war crimes in Congress, and didn't. Just a whole era of historical disaster for the US.
However, it still has nothing to do with Ukraine if you look into that situation at all.
Absolutely nobody in the US told Putin to amass an army on the border of Ukraine and invade.

Not to side with the Republicans but I really don't understand why we give a shit about Ukraine. Like we don't have a written treaty with them and they're not part of NATO. What is our obligation to them and why aren't we spending that money domestically for social programs or infrastructure?

Because we do have treaty's obligated to protect them. They gave up their nuclear weapons for this. But also because we are not losing Americans and filling a huge void Afghanistan left in the military industrial complex. Aside form that Ukrianes continued existence and invasions failing in Europe helps maintain a western centric American hedgemony.
