I know and from time to time I do, but I also know there is very likely someone here who can give context without it being any effort and since there probably is other people who don't know anything about Pike's peak the answers aren't only for my eyes anyway. If this was a dead topic with nobody browsing these comments or if there was some kind of urgency I'd have chosen another way of getting an answer. Do you care about this long reply? Probably not.

As someone from outside US I prefer the metric answer though

Excuse my ignorance, I looked it up because I got confused: "an altitude of 14,115 feet above sea level" is basically 4,300m so yeah

European here, is pike's peak high?

The real battle is between the ruling classes.

I can't speak for all countries but of the people assuming Europe will be fine, most seem to be rifht wing voters. It's a good thing not everyone is in panic mode, but I agree people should be more aware of the current direction the world is heading in but there are also a lot of people who actually like this direction.

We could also have given Ukraine so much they won the war 2 years ago, problem is we also want healthcare, education and decent pensions. I mean it's good the German army feels we should help Ukraine win the war but let's not act as if this is a simple feat that doesn't require a lot of money. Without free American weapons it will be a lot harder to defend ourselves against Putins warmongering.

US agencies might not have much reason, but foreign ones on the other hand definitely do have plenty of reasons.

I don't think they'd give him asylum from the goodness of their heart but this man has a lot to offer as long as he's an enemy of the US government.

I agree the west is becoming less democratic and the quality of life in China greatly improved, but there is severe oppression in China and that you choose to mention the quality of life over the influence people have on their government says a lot about your loyalty to the Chinese rulers.

That's mostly because the trustworthy news outlet from those countries don't publish in English whereas the propaganda is. But you're right people don't think there is independent journalism in Russia and China. That is not so much an east/west axis but a capitalist democracy / Communist authoritarianism axis.
