In a recent appearance on Russia’s state-run television, Russian political scientist Sergey Mikheyev suggested that the country’s “empire” should grow to encompass three American states.

“I want the Russian empire with Alaska, Hawaii, California, Finland, and Poland,” he said, as translated by Gerashchenko for the clip he shared. “Although Poland and Finland are so stinky, I’m not sure, to be honest. We’ll clean them.”

        Cheetoh is mixing two different messages:

        • yes, forests need care to prevent catastrophic fires, but that involves thing like guided logging, and letting the small fires go
        • yes, people need to rake and clear underbrush to make it tougher for the fire to spread on their property and up to their house

        However there’s only so much these can help when you’re building in high fire risk areas
