But few talk about the elephant in the room: “self-sustaining” means that women must become pregnant, give birth and somehow not die… on Mars.

Ukrainian intelligence agencies released a serious claim that the Russian Ministry of Defense leaked the Kremlin’s final plan for Ukraine that involves separating the nation into three territories. Interfax Ukraine News states that their source will propose the divided territories to Donald Trump once he enters the White House, with plans taking until 2045 to achieve. Although no one can confirm this information with certainty, the proposal—which no one will accept—is quite interesting. To begin, Russia will absorb the eastern regions, including but not limited to currently Russian-occupied territories. The second territory, the “pro-Russian state entity,” would not be within Russia…
