Expect to see more if this as Qazaqstan creates a trend.  Guess Constantinople is right out.

Nor does it work just immediately to your South.

 

Oregon's first-in-the-nation scheme to decriminalize drugs and encourage those caught possessing them to seek medical help has been blighted with problems, officials admitted on Thursday - as one Republican politician said there had been a 700 percent in overdoses in her district in the last year.

Canadians can’t resist the opportunity to do some preening though.

 

The Canadians and Danes plan to unveil the settlement June 14 and celebrate it as an example of how countries can resolve border disputes peacefully even as Russia ignored the rules-based international order and launched a full-scale military assault on Ukraine, the sources say. The Globe and Mail is not identifying the sources because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
 

Willing to bet the source here has the initials JT & wears extravagant socks.

Macron probably will form a government with The Republicans. Le Pen's party also will obtain 90 seats , far more than the 8 in previous elections. She is the big winner actually of this election
