It is actually pretty simple unless you are a bot, of course. The vikings didn't annex russia, they have merely replaced the rulers with one of theirs, keeping the rest as it was.
The mongol conquest also hasn't been an annexation. It was more like a racket, with the russian princes paying protection money while being free to launch wars of conquest on their own. Pretty common in history, really. See danegeld as an another example.

Tragedy of the commons isn't a problem with human nature, it's a problem with the incentives in a capitalist economic system. Look at what happened with the real commons - individuals who were using it decided to organize and regulate sustainable use of the commons. Only corporations are selfish and short-sighted enough to fulfill the theory's prediction.

It may not be intentional anti-environmental shilling (in general, with sinij in particular it's quite clear that it is), but it is practically indistinguishable from it. The best time to build nuclear was 50-60 years ago, but the second best time, at this point, is probably never. Renewables with storage are vastly cheaper and vastly faster to build. Building nuclear today means locking up resources for decades that could've been used to rapidly deploy far greater amounts of cheap clean power instead. There are only a few niche uses where nuclear could still make sense and they are steadily being eaten away by renewables with storage.

Biden was not worse. He did not allow to strike deeper than 300 km into russia with american weapons, that's all. The ban is still in place, domestic weapons are used for deeper strikes. Also forbiding donating jets, helicopters and tanks is bullshit, Ukraine received all of these while Biden was still president. Trump, on the other hand, blocks weapons and ammunition, even though the EU has paid for them. The orange shitgibbon is putler's tool.
