And? Japan was the agressor there, and they'd converted their entire economy to war production. Wiping out entire cities was a completely justified way to stop that war. And it worked.
Nah, the US has never done anything comparable to what Russia is doing. One of many ongoing, Russian state supported, examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_safari_(terror_campaign)
Funny that... Now that improved hygiene means we don't suffer from actual diseases much, our own immune systems are our biggest threats via auto-immune diseases.

Air quality is an easy one to solve: we're damn good at building incinerators. Costs more money. But we can certainly do it. CO2 is a real problem. But it's not a very significant one compared to other fossil fuel uses. And as we eventually get more and more plant-derived plastics, that'll close the loop and make CO2 irrelevant.
Just incinerate it. Don't leave it in the ground for a future generation to deal with.
Depends on the circumstances. If you have a good source of clean cardboard that can be easily shipped to a recycling plant the economic value of the cardboard can certainly be higher recycled vs burnt. Let the market decide. Note that one consideration is recycling cardboard mixed with plastics is definitely a microplastics hazard as it produces a lot of microplastics contaminated wastewater. If you just incinerate it properly, you eliminate that hazard. Some uses of cardboard for packaging have a lot of plastics mixed in; others do not. We might be better off eliminating consumer paper recycling in favor of incineration, and allowing more controlled recycling (eg boxes from wearhouses) to continue. ...and yes, in general we should be using incineration a _lot_ more to fully eliminate plastic waste rather than leave it for a future generation to deal with.
Travala accepts lightning. I've pretty much only used it with lightning.
It shouldn't just be the leaders put to death either. There's probably hundreds of employees and managers who directly took part in actually implementing this policy.
Interesting! Maybe you have a lot of neighbors that are heating up the building in other ways, such as using electricity from generators/batteries, stoves, etc. Or it's just taking awhile to cool down...
How modern is your building? I noticed that my modern Airbnb wouldn't get below about 18.5Β°C even if the heat was off for hours.
I'm in Ukraine frequently got a lot of reasons, e.g delivering a donated 4x4 recently, and getting institutions there to use OpenTimestamps. Also, I like Ukraine. It's a nice, cheap, libertarian county with low taxes, low crime, and good weather (I like snow). If not for Russia trying to kill everyone it'd be awesome. I've risked my life doing a lot of dangerous things for fun. Some risk for something worthwhile is perfectly acceptable.
