Not all toilets are made equal. Even the smelliest or nastiest ones in Japan are better than the non-existent ones in the U.S., particularly in the U.S. DC metropolitan area where there are no toilets. And in the capital they only set up portable ones during special events.
on my trips to DC I need to exercise to force myself to go to the toilet before leaving for fear of a necessity while traveling by train or even by car.

No they did not. Are policemen not also professional health care providers or doctors?

According to some reporters, (Bea Talegon amongst others), the whole Maidan Coup and Russia’s invasion or liberation, was engineered by the Rand Corporation. It follows the same pattern of NATO’s bombing of Yugoslavia, and Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait, where he was encouraged to do it.
This is basically a proxy war between the U.S., using NATO as a so called coalition, to weaken and divide Russia.
Even if Ukraine surrenders, the main purpose of wars is to fleece countries of resources, to destroy their infrastructure so those countries will have to borrow reconstruction loans, to indebt countries through military “gifts”, and when the country is in total bondage, to force the country to buy expensive-US produced weapons and protection services.

The sooner he is out of politics, the better. But with the US alienating its population more and more, you will never know if the replacement of a bad incumbent will be even worse. Voting as I see it, is a form of validation. In the end they will do whatever they please and will invoke the vote as the permission to “govern”.
