Charmoli ranked at or above the 95th percentile for the number of crowns installed by dentists in the state in each of those years, the report added.
Well, each year 5% of the dentists rank in 95th percentile. That's what the 95th percentile means. I hope that's not the entirely of the case against him. I hope they actually show the he did deliberately break his patients' teeth. He is 61. What if his eye-hand coordination simply started to slip a little. If I was on the jury and these were the only facts presented to me, I'd laugh at the prosecution. I wouldn't even wait for the deliberations. I'd laugh right in court. Maybe they have evidence for more. But it's not evidence even suggested in this article summary. This article summary makes the prosecutors sound nuts.
Hey, deliberate targeted bombing of maternity wards is caused by a legitimate security concern about the threat of Ukraine developing nuclear capability...
ohh. ffs.
Ukraine gets a quarter of its electricity from its nuclear power plants. It's literally been nuclear-capable since the first day it became a country.
But, but, but... NATO !!! Aha! You know what I mean, you know what I mean?!
Russia "asks" "court" to label Facebook, Instagram as "Extremists."
So once Russia collapses, leaves Ukraine in defeat, and deposes Putin, we will remove all sanctions and help them rebuild.
Why? we already did that after the collapse of the USSR. They turned a democracy into fascism. It doesn't really matter who is in charge. Dedication to institutions requires faith in those institutions. If Russians never fought for their state and the state institutions have no legacy, why even consider the possibility that they won't be corrupted again?
Ukrainians have now fought for their country. They can be trusted to be its stewards. The same cannot be said about Russia. Putin or no Putin, the next regime in Russia will be a puppet regime because no one is personally invested in making that country their own. Ukrainians, who will join the EU, because they can be trusted to take actual ownership of their country, will be the only Russian-speaking westerners. In 10 years, it will be Ukraine that's installing puppet regimes in Russia.
