1: The Jackery If you are traveling the country and intend on doing this full-time then you will be needing lots of power.

Opinion | Questions about Putin’s invasion
Why Ukraine, why now, why target civilians are just a few things that don’t add up, John Colarusso writes. By John Colarusso Sun., March 27, 2022timer13 min. read I was not surprised that Putin gave the order to invade — one does not amass a huge military on the borders of a country without using it, without invading. Still, I was puzzled by many aspects of Putin’s choice and its bloody implementation. First, why now? Why Feb. 24? The fortunes of war can be fickle.
Pondering the mystery of why the Russians came to Washington

The Trump-Putin Summit: A Stooge at Work?
There were at least six topics that Donald Trump could have forcefully raised with Russia’s Vladimir Putin at Monday’s so-called summit in Helsinki, Finland. Any other president would have. First was Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Second was Russia’s presence in Syria. Third was the unlawful Russian annexation of Crimea.
Trump's behavior is not surprising -- he is a Russian stooge

Is Trump Putin's 'stooge?'
Donald Trump will soon travel to Helsinki to have his first summit with Vladimir Putin. Apart from satisfying the American president’s insatiable need for attention, there is no obvious reason for this meeting, no pressing issues that can be settled to the advantage of the United States. One could assume that Putin is hoping for a meeting much like the one enjoyed by Kim Jong Un — Trump will make dramatic concessions for no reason other than the compulsion to sound grand.

Fredo in the White House: Trump’s rolling chaos
Subsequent phone chats between Trump and Putin may have offered some solace to the president. It seems that his Russian pal considers the effort to subvert the U.S. election as, on balance, a great success. Nothing really new here: Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. As an expert in Caucasian languages and also politics, and someone who advised the Bill Clinton White House on Russia at various points in my career, I can attest that this is a classic move from the Russian playbook.
Trump's rolling chaos
Donald Trump is wearing thin. He is inherently boring. Everything he says or tweets is so familiar, no matter how offensive, that it’s hard to pay attention to him anymore. He generates crisis, offence and chaos every day, and yet he is devoid of information. He doesn’t tell us anything that we haven’t already heard. He is like a political thunderhead giving off rolling thunder, but in his case it is rolling chaos. Nevertheless, let us examine where this chaos may be heading in 2018.

Why Trump must stop being Trump to survive - Reaction
Donald Trump’s supporters have a new rallying cry in defence of the American president: “Let Trump be Trump!” I am a U.S.-born linguist, an expert in Caucasian languages and also politics, and someone who advised the Bill Clinton White House on Russia at various points in my career. And so I feel justified in arguing the opposite: Trump must stop being Trump. Trump’s short time in office has been a reflection of his lack of insight, lack of control and lack of judgment.
