He, of course, will have no problem if China is invited to the table. Especially if he can figure out how to tank any peace deal to protect Beijing’s weapons sales and economic benefits from supporting Russia.

It’s mind boggling that Washington has tried to cut Ukraine out of discussions about their own country. Although I’m sure Trump envisions a chain of golf courses and resorts across Donetsk and Luhansk

Misleading headline. According to the article, Norway has done no such thing. Norwegian businesses have done no such thing. However Turkey, a NATO member and EU applicant, continues to facilitate Russian evasion of international sanctions.

Do players celebrate layoffs? Or do they just enjoy the schadenfreude when karma bites executives and managers who disrespect their customers?

Either way, yeah $70 for a game, especially for a bad one, buys me the right to complain.
