Nope, not at all comparable. The US does not puppet master the UN Security Council. It can bring the matter up, and it has. Russia has veto power on the same council. Nobody expects anything to come of that, but the requirements were met.

Not at all. You clearly haven't read what's actually in there.

Clinton didn't think Congress would ratify strong guarantees. Ukraine itself wasn't in a position to ask for much more, because it didn't have the economy to afford to maintain nuclear weapons. The result is an agreement that aggression against Ukraine would be brought up with the UN security council, and that's about it.

In providing military aid, the US has exceeded what was promised.

What did the US promise to Ukraine?

I like having friends where I can just say that and they understand, but I also understand that's hard to achieve.

In the advanced class, we use orbital sanders.

Make the man afraid some more.

It just needs to be clear and set close to the max fill line. If it's low and/or dark, it wasn't done right.

Alternatively, if you're in a place dedicated to oil changes, you can assume it wasn't done right.

Despite the administration’s crackdown and Johnson's suspicions, it’s not known whether the leak came from a member of Congress.

Given the clowns in charge, it's more likely the leak came from inside the White House.

All by themselves, weather forecasting satellites justify every dollar put into space programs. The lives saved are incalculable. We are squandering that benefit for no reason whatsoever.

One of my favorite exchanges from the 2008 election:

Colbert: tell me about growing up with a silver spoon in your mouth on the south side of Chicago

Michelle Obama: we didn't have silver spoons. We had four spoons.

Colbert: but there were spoons, right?

Origami can be used as a basis for geometry:

IIRC, you can do things that are impossible in standard Euclidean construction, such as squaring the circle. It also has more axioms than Euclidean construction, so maybe it's not a completely fair comparison.
