Unless the Trump administration chooses to renew the compensation program former nuclear weapons employees who are hoping to receive assistance with their medical payments will no longer have the opportunity.

Are you unaware of Russia's imperial actions against its neighbors?

Are you unaware of what the words "empire, imperial, and imperialist" mean? Because it's not "when military force". Bonus question: why is the Russian Federation (a different country from the USSR, which I am talking about) in Ukraine? And finally, do you somehow think that even the most outlandish stories about the RF hold a candle to our own American evil, in either scale or depravity? Do you think an actual empire currently helping carry out a genocide and disappearing activists is a trustworthy source about it's geopolitical rivals? Are you old enough to remember the Iraq war?
