Different countries have different providers, use different radio frequencies, etc and thus have different hardware and so on. Phones made for a particular market might not function well (or at all) in another market. This has historically been a barrier to cross-border adoption, though it has gotten a bit better in recent years.

Uh.. Shit. I might have a new one to add to my collection. Or mayhap the thought process is just uncomfortably similar.

I suspect mapping tourists to the USA would require moving that decimal several places to the ~~right~~ left

Okay, we are talking past each other and I am done with you. Bye forever.

I note that they don't mention it resisting an angle-grinder for any amount of time. 🤔

It's hard to think about something that deserves less time than this meme

And yet here you are.

The drug war is and has always been primarily a class war.

The US has honored both the spirit and letter of this commitment and to date has provided over half of aid Ukraine has received, with it largely uninterrupted even under Trump. At worst, the US is an unreliable partner to Ukraine who should do more. Since the War began, Ukraine has been the US's largest foreign aid recipient. In absolute terms, the US is still the largest single donor (iirc it was nearly matched by the EU, so maybe is matched by now.)

No reasonable person could claim the country who provided half of Ukrainian aid isn't helping.

Horseshit. GTFO with this vatniki talking point.

The phrase "security guarantees" was specifically excluded. The phrase "security assurance" was a distinction made by the US State Dept lawyers for this exact reason; it makes clear the US is not a guarantor. This has been well known since the signing so no misunderstanding here is reasonable. That is just your distortion of the facts.

Go read the full text of the Budapest Memorandum and then come back and provide a specific citation. I'll be here waiting.

Yes, I'm aware. FYI, the phrase is a common slogan in Ukrainian, since 2014.

Crimea is Ukraine.
