30 years ago, I was a young research student on the project to synthesize an injectable form of birth control. I was responsible for isolating proteins using column chromatography.

Capital punishment will always be more of a tool to control behavior than a tool to regulate public justice.

A death penalty serves the ultimate purpose of demonstrating that the state can use its power (executive, legislative, and judicial) to order a citizen killed.

The power of the state to kill someone can be wielded arbitrarily based upon laws enacted (legislative), sentences ordered (judicial), and pardons withheld (executive).

Expect more laws and more capital sentences to curb more behaviors that the state wishes to curtail. When they run out of behaviors, expect capital punishment for crimes of belief, thought, and group affiliation for that is the natural progression of authoritarianism, despotism, and tyranny.

That article mentions “nuclear” once.

I believe when facing NATO, Russia would not hesitate to use tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield.

NATO vs Russia is a completely different conflict without the US in NATO.

Brett Druck! Underrated comic. Saw him with Steve Hofstetter back in the day. Glad he’s still at it.
