I'm OK with deaf drivers while using apps (have nothing to discuss with driver - everything is in app already). In some cases it is even big plus, when you don't want driver to hear your conversations, or you want to travel in calm and don't want any radio/music to hear.

It is not possible "cancel" thing which was never scheduled. They have agreement on place, but meeting wasn't and isn't scheduled. Yet. Right now Zelenskiy is so desperate, that he already agreed to let Russia to keep already taken territories, while just few months ago Zelenskiy spoke about "1991 year borders". Putin will boil him more - Russia has time, Zelenskiy has no time: Russian army takes 1-2-3 villages/towns daily... Russian conditions for peace are known for many months already: neutral status of Ukraine (membership in EU is OK, membership in NATO is not OK), the abolition of discriminatory language laws, the opening of Russian schools, newspapers, radio and TV, the lifting of the ban on the Orthodox Church and the return of confiscated churches to it, the lifting of the ban on left-wing and socialist parties. And main: first talk and sign agreement, then stop fire. Russia won't accept the "let's ceasefire and then negotiate" approach—European bureaucrats have already demonstrated that their words can't be trusted. And the foolish Kaya Callas let it slip when she combined "we need a ceasefire" and "we need Russia's strategic defeat" in the same paragraph of her speech. Therefore, Russia's approach to the ceasefire has remained unchanged for a long time: "First, we'll sign an agreement on the terms of the ceasefire and guarantees, and only then will Russia stop".

You're stubborn, my dear. Anyone can use Google, okay? You've screwed up by bringing lies and propaganda here. "About" 70% of "around" 60% is 40% +/- 2-3%. Did you study math? Doesn't look like the answer is "yes." https://aahoa.com/resources/oxford-study

Oh, and by the way: number 60% isn't true. Truth is: 60% of US hotels are owned by members of Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA). AAHOA, a trade association representing over 20,000 hotel owners, reports that its members collectively own approximately 60% of the hotels in the U.S. And within AAHOA "Indians or those of Indian ancestry" owning about 70% of hotels. So real number is about 40%.

Looks like publication is the part of anti-Indian propaganda, reflecting current state of US-India relationship stage. And it sounds racist. If you want to follow that stream, then you should take a look on small part of leading corporations CEO list: Sundar Pichai (Google), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Arvind Krishna (IBM), Shantanu Narayen (Adobe). But I think, what talks about Indian overrepresenting are quite overreacted, and may be inspired by "competing diaspora". ChatGPT as usual:

Well. It is political thing. Obama got Nobel prize at time when US had running 2 wars. So, it is exactly "happen before".

Well... you are stubborn... Have you heard of Georg Emanuel Opiz? He was a Bohemian German painter and graphic artist. In 1814, following the War, he went to Paris to create and sell etchings. His works are now in museums. Series "Russian Cossacks in Paris", 1814-1815.

not "soldiers" - Cossacks

Back to possibility of WW III. Financial Times: "Patriots" and other Ukrainian air defense systems were able to intercept only 6% of missiles launched by Russia in September. Russian missile upgrade outpaces Ukraine’s Patriot defences Listening to Boris Johnson and believing the West that Ukraine could win against Russia and therefore should withdraw from the Istanbul peace talks in the spring of 2022 was the Zelensky regime's biggest mistake.

Next question then: any idea why Russia should need to "march France"?

Wrong. Only cards from systems that banned Russia don't work here. Any UnionPay will work here and it is one of the reasons why Chinese didn't stop to visit Russia.

Tell me, what's your grade in geography? Russia doesn't need Estonia or its territories for free navigation in the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea – there are plenty of neutral waters there. And this reply is worthy of a Darwin Award – Estonia doesn't share a border with the Kaliningrad Conclave. On one side is Poland, on the other is Lithuania.

Any ideas why Russia might need three depressed, half-dead countries whose economies are based on agriculture, quarter of their territory is swampland https://news.err.ee/1609784505/estonia-mulls-boosting-eastern-border-defenses-by-restoring-bogs-peatlands, and which must be subsidized annually to remain habitable? The drug overdose mortality rate in Estonia is almost 11 times higher than the EU average. https://www.euda.europa.eu/publications/european-drug-report/2025/drug-induced-deaths_en The suicide rate among men in Estonia is more than twice as high as in the EU. https://countryeconomy.com/demography/mortality/causes-death/suicide/estonia Economically, these three countries are useless to Russia, but if Putin does anything against them, the stench of Western propaganda will be so strong that half the world will suffocate. Estonia has been a NATO member since 2004 – over 20 years. And no one cares.

I am pleased to see that, as always, you have no arguments against my remark.

Why? GDP PPP of Estonia ($67.7B) has the size of GDP PPP of few quarters of Moscow ($1320B), rest two countries are not more far.
