It seems that Russia is unfortunately becoming more successful in there drone redirection campaign in a attempt to drive a wedge between Ukraine and the rest of Europe. As reports state 5 Ukrainian sea drones were jammed and guided to Romanian waters. Would it be beneficial for Ukraine to install self destruct features once communication is lost to prevent this in the future?

Everywhere online people have been spreading the narrative that thanks to the U.S Ebola has spread in an outbreak throughout Africa. But the truth of the matter is it is neither the U.S job or in its interest to spend to remedy the situation.

I personally think that the government should use a specific checklist to determine if they should spend funds.

1. does it protect U.S citizens?
2. does it protect U.S financial or political interests?
3. if left untreated is there a risk to the U.S or its allies?

In all of these cases the answer is no. The amount of citizens in the outbreak area is minimal and can easily be screened and evacuated. The U.S also has a minimal financial stake in the region as they only import limited goods and the country has no sway on the international stage. Finally the risk of this virus spreading is almost nonexistent in developed countries like the U.S or Europe. Given its limited transmission routes via direct contact. The U.S also spent over 3 billion to combat Ebola in the region over the last decade and this current outbreak shows it was a moot point on both the prevention and education front (seeing they burned down a treatment center).
