other than vaccine induced polio how would a modern day person in the USA even get exposed to polio?

you'd think that with the vast increase in prescription rates of SSRIs and other antidepressents, that there would be a commensurate reduction in population-wide depression. But no, if anything the more antidepressents are prescribed, the more general depression you get in the population. Same thing with suicide rates. This is correlation and not causation obviously, but it still suggests that antidepressents are not doing what they are advertised as doing.

I'll just cut straight to the assertion, which seems obvious enough to not require more explanation.

Mental illness is not biologically determined. It is socially determined.

At best antidepressent prescriptions mask the underlying cause of symptoms. At. best.

love isn't the opposite of hate, apathy is. If you truly despise her, cut off contact, she is your mother and this will cause her profound pain. I'm assuming you're pretty young to be feeling this way, whatever the problem is, you will understand it and its roots better as you get older. One day you might think about her differently as you understand her more. There's always a reason why broken people do broken things. Good luck and don't do anything dumb

I don't share his vision of mutual development and cooperation with the west.

He is still stuck in a cold war kind of mindset where he's expecting that one day a US admin will come along and uphold international law, or reform atlanticist NATO into something other than a belligerent axis of empire. It's never going to happen. The US (and of course i don't refer to the american people here) only respects strength, and only understands the language of force.

Minsk 1 and 2 prove it for anyone who doesn't understand or care to learn post ww2 history.

His equivocation and reluctance to enter ukraine after the illegitimate banderite regime started slaughtering ethnic russians in the donbass cost innocent lives. His participation in the alaska summit was ill-advised also.

I appreciate at least that he has full-blown nationalists surrounding him in the duma who push for a more muscular foreign policy, so 'his' policies really are a mediation between the constraints of reality vs the impulses of the nationist duma. It's a tight-rope walk that i'm sure almost nobody else could walk so i do have respect for him. I wish he was half the 'communist authoritarian' our braindead media accuse him of being, but alas.
