  • Oh you mean after Russia invaded Crimea? And even if NATO was “in Ukraine” like you say, that’s no reason to go to war. Russia has a nuclear deterrent. It doesn’t need a buffer state. This isn’t the 1890s.

    Countries have a right to self determination. So even if Ukraine was looking to join NATO, which it wasn’t, that is not a valid reason to invade your sovereign neighbor. The number one driver of NATO expansion is Russian aggression.















  • It all depends on your use case. For me with a 20 mile round trip daily commute and a 200 mile drive every other week where the car is then parked for 36-48 hours at a hotel with a level 2 charger before returning home an ev is great. If you can charge at home I think it’s a no brainer if you’re looking to buy new or slightly used. If you’re constantly driving hundreds of miles in a day then no probably not. Downside are longer road trips, as some other people said in places where charging is sparce you’re looking at 50-100% more time for distance traveled. But if you don’t mind being more leisurely and chilling out at a restaurant or what have you then it’s not a big deal. And initial price. They are still expensive.
