The US has their own oil fields.

If they can burn down the EU in that ongoing crisis, they don't care.

That's likely the strategy the administration is running.

Not sure if you are aware that with throttled 2G slow you can't even open a package tracking website these days, because the connection times out before you have downloaded all their asset dependencies. And those kind of websites do not support resumes of downloads (or partial content requests).

So you're stuck in a loop of not being able to use the web because the websites keep downloading stuff you don't need.

What is the purpose of the DDoS JS in the archive website then? Not DDoS?

Thanks. I am so confused by this social drama, I feel like I am getting too old for this.

> The blog is still online and only exists as a part of a harassment campaign targeting archive.today

The blog has a lot of more posts on random topics. Why do you imply that the owner of the bloh is part of a harassment campaign and "only" that is the reason for this years old blog to exist?

Why is archive today attacking that website?
