What is Russia's path?

First it will restore the USSR, then it will start a war with China.
After the coup in Ukraine in 2014 and the failed coup in Belarus in 2020, Russia realized that if nothing was done, the country would face war. Therefore, an association of countries like the European Union will be created. Belarus will be the first to enter it. Due to the sanctions in the country, almost the entire high-tech sector depends on supplies from China. With sanctions, high levels of corruption, high taxes and the elites' disinterest in change, Russia will not be able to resist the Chinese economy. Eventually, China will displace all competitors, including domestic companies, and will dominate the country. There is no progress in creating a competitive economy. Chinese specialists will move to the country en masse, displacing Russian specialists. When Russia tries to restrict China, China will act militarily.
Moscow takes all taxes for itself, and then distributes them by region. The regional elite is not at all interested in the growth of business in the regions, since its well-being depends on the ability to ask Moscow, and not on the growth of the number of enterprises. It is impossible to conduct business legally in the regions without paying bribes and fines. The legislation allows businesses to be blocked for 30 days in case of violations, so businesses pay bribes to avoid being blocked. A 47% tax and a 13% credit rate also do not contribute to business growth. Compared to the Chinese tax of 12% and the credit rate of 0.02%. Despite the fact that China spends money on cargo transportation, it is more profitable to produce and buy in China than in Russia.
The East is a delicate matter. The war has increased Russia's economic dependence on China

Throughout history, there have been wars on the territory of different states, but at the moment the development of technology has reached such a level that war leads to the largest human and economic losses in history.

Why is Biden withdrawing his candidacy from the presidential election?
2024-07-20 12:56:35
Because he can't win
Biden is under serious pressure within the party. The American president is forced to drop out of the election race next weekend. The White House claims that Biden is capable of serving a second term as president. Provided he is elected, but he has little chance of defeating Trump.
The Democratic presidential nominee will be selected at the caucus' national convention, which will be held August 19-22 in Chicago. And it will not be Vice President Kamala Harris. Biden is one of Ukraine's main sponsors. President Zelensky has already stated that by the end of the year, the war will end its active phase, which means that they are preparing for a change of US leader.

What came first the chicken or the egg?

Egg
The first amniotic eggs appeared about 340 million years ago, while the first chicken appeared only about 58 thousand years ago.
The first chicken appeared as a result of a genetic mutation that occurred in a zygote created by two near-chickens. So the two proto-hens mated, fusing their DNA to form the first cell of the first true chicken.
