Well.... There's 2 exceptions... Steven Seagal and Snowden...
But only because Russia knows we absolutely wont negotiate for Seagal, they can keep him... and we'd just arrest Snowden, so we're not exactly going out of our way to get him back.
Those 2 people who are technically still Americans are pretty safe in Russia from diplomatic/political based retaliatory prosecutions... Literally any other person even those holding US and Russia passports are vulnerable.

Sauce recipe???
I always like to make my own with Roasted Tomatoes (adds a nice layer of roasty sweetness). You can get them in a can pre-roasted or roast yourself in the oven, but:
1 can roasted tomatoes
1 Tbsp olive oil (extra virgin or regulra)
1 small garlic clove
1/2 tsp dry oregano
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Can also swap fresh oregano, and add fresh basil if you want. No need to cook the sauce before hand, it'll cook enough on the pizza (and tomatoes were already roasted, so...) Just toss it in a blender and get it to desired consistency.

Also, another technique for dough: Instead of 12-24hrs in bowl, you can do 1-2 hours, and then cut/ball onto prep tray and let the balls rest and rise in the fridge for 12-24-48 hours (different times lead to interestingly different crust profiles, fun to experiment, yours looks awesome btw! perfect bubbles and slight charring)
Also, type 00 flour is best for pizza dough... idk why, but literally every pizza place uses it. Caputo tipo 00 from Italy is pretty popular but theres plenty of other brands, and i you see "Pizza flour" thats all it is. It's much more finely ground than all purpose flour, which is better for pizza and pasta.
And finally Cheese!! Fresh mozzarella only!! Make your own if you want with almost expired milk, that's always fun!

(edit: My dough recipe: 1L water, 10g yeast, 55g sea salt, 1700g tipo 00 flour, 20g olive oil, same procedure as yours, salt + oil last as salt will shock the yeast if you mix the salt in water before yeast goes in. Also going by weight means no need to sift flour :P. This recipe is for a lot, i usually 1/3rd it and get about 6 dough balls)

Logistically speaking, the size/weight of improvised explosives that deliver results terrorists are looking for are typically too heavy for small drones. Terror devices also typically employ various amounts of miscellaneous shrapnel, to get the most effect out of limited explosive power, but also significantly increasing payload weight. To make any use out of explosives that weigh enough to let the drone still be pretty fast, you'd have to swarm them. That'd be a pretty effective tactic, but it obviates the benefit of drones over just using any other long range weaponry, precision guidance. If you're just going to spray and pray, do it with something bigger. For super precision individual strikes, a racing drone could maybe take out small targets, 1-3 people, but that's not a terrorists target. And even worse for those cases, they're extremely loud and easy to spot, they wouldn't be too difficult to evade. They're fast and nimble but that's relative, you're looking at 60mph averages, especially with a payload. You can dodge a 60mph car, you can probably dodge a 60mph drone.
They're honestly most effective in Ukraine because Russia is just terribly incompetent. For military use they're effective at rendering stationary equipment inoperable, or taking out a lead truck in a convoy, or blowing up an ammo depot. They're easily deflected with proper equipment since we know what tech they're using (2.4ghz or 900/433mhz control links, 5.8ghz video links), Jamming them is actually easy, just Russia sucks and can't wipe its ass and shit on its elbow at the same time. If they had enough explosive capability to, say, blow up a bridge, you can bet the Kerch Straight bridge would be gone by now.

The relevance is to say that yeah, it’s not popular here, given one of the literal most popular athletes in the world 98%+ of Americans have never heard of him.

Compare that to Soccer, also not that popular in the US as a pro sport, most Americans could name at least Ronaldo, Pele, Beckham.

It's worth noting that's about 1000 years earlier than most sources of Old Norse writing, and even contemporary or slightly older than the earliest written Germanic language that we have comprehensive material on, Gothic (which we just have the Gothic bible, from around the 3rd - 4th century AD). That means the language written on it was likely proto-norse or proto-north-germanic, languages we can only guess at reconstructing.
