If so, who then the US sees as a reliable and effective ally? Or is like with Trump that the US needs no allies? * * * And Again. Biden being Biden ju...
Ok! I take my words back. I think it is you who got bored with the people... Your front row experience make's me remember when I was a child, I was dr...
It's naturally permanent, because naturally there always will be those low income. And income classes aren't fixed. Some rich oil country which has no...
I think the focus is on Ukraine, but action against Ukraine will have effects on relations with other countries also. If either Finland or Sweden or b...
Oh don't be sorry. To admire someone means that you have overall positive image of the person. Yet one can admire, or acknowledge something in a perso...
I'd say the virtuousness of gladiators has to be viewed from the values of the Roman society. Martial prowess was something that was revered and held ...
Of course. What else could you think of a person who starts their political career by killing 300 totally innocent Muscovites and other Russians to re...
Some criticism is needed, but then again, the industry has to be understood. Which is preferable for a pharmaceutical company: to create a vaccine or ...
He is a Silovik, something like a "securocrat". And an awesome spymaster. Perhaps the problem with all the US administrations is that US Presidents ba...
The private programs have shown us that space exploration isn't just a thing that NASA or other great powers can do. That's the really positive issue ...
Start from what Putin thinks of the collapse of the Soviet Union: The classic quote from Putin. That is his World view. Yeah. In fact without annexing...
Basically that tensions have escalated and the threat of war has basically increased to the level that we saw during the Cold War. Yet here I have to ...
Great example of how programs are pushed further and how the costs just balloon. Interesting to see what James Webb tells about exoplanets and early g...
Yet after the Pershing expedition going after Pancho Villa, the US hasn't deployed it's military to fight in Mexico. In fact, Mexican troops were invi...
If people find the subject interesting, I urge people to read what Putin himself has said about Ukraine and Russia, if one dares to venture to the off...
Oh right, irrelevant blabber like what is the actual administration ruling Ukraine now is. :roll: Of course, when Russia annexed Crimea and started th...
Yeah, that's the way! Well, for me Oleh Tyahnybok (and his Svoboda-party) were the "Nazis" if you could say the ultra-right party was like that in 201...
Boy we'll hear Michael Hudson even more on RT. Of course. Ukrainians are Nazis (because there were few right-wing volunteers, so obviously it's a Nazi...
I don't think so. Just look at the Muslim countries. They are still religious. No Muslim Nietzsche. Yet look at how many scientist have been religious...
That would mean WW3. Invading further Ukraine doesn't mean WW3. But it could mean at worst that NATO goes to the dustbin of history, just like CENTO o...
I understand. But is that at all really about "The Enlightenment"? Or would you find all that criticism you are talking about in Ancient Rome where a ...
In my view the situation with Russia and Ukraine looks very bad. What makes it dangerous is that both sides cannot basically back down form their posi...
What do you mean it's a crime? If the economy is weak and people are poor, how can it be a crime? Must be a lot of criminals in Lebanon nowdays. And j...
Seems you don't go to classical concerts, I presume, when you write it like that. :snicker: And just how many teenagers have the money to get tickets ...
No, I think you didn't understand what I meant here with specialization. Primitive cultures have specialization and are quite specialized: some are hu...
And why is that, actually? That it's something "old" that we can disregard, that is politically incorrect? Pop music or some other "not-western" music...
Most understandable way to put it, Tom? But again, when we have "objective criteria". And yet only religions and idealists assume transcendent truths....
Yet there's the actual philosophical problem: we try in philosophy to give an objective answer... even when the matter is obviously subjective. As if ...
What's wrong with subjectivity, personal opinions and taste? Isn't it what makes us individuals? As is everything important in life would have an obje...
No, but you do have to have something based on realism for the argumentation. All ideas haven't been tried as usually new ideas come from adapting to ...
Start first from either having a culture or not. Culture starting from some specialization in the society, things like language and then written langu...
It meaning Enlightenment? You really think that negative aspects of the modern World exist because of Enlightenment? With the same kind of thinking, p...
There's not the same statistics as now, but there truly is information how much people were paid. The basic point is that salaries and real income has...
Ah yes, the so telling indicator of low income in this Millennium in the West: you cannot afford to go and eat at a Michelin star restaurant. But perh...
Oh you mean the former regime "occupying" the grounds of ancient Babylon? Well, the last regime there built a nice palace with great views of the anci...
Opinion: That indeed looks like modern art, actually. There's no F* You's, no "Killroy was here", no universal signs for cunt, or the typical graffiti...
Yeah. Well, that relationship of yours has successfully passed through 9/11, so I guess it will last a long time... Even if the US isn't so dependent ...
In a Trump-thread, good that you brought this up from the election between Hillary Clinton and Trump. Trump was a great demagogue and a showman that k...
You are a troll now. Even the link you give has it in written form: Here is the goddam newsmax piece where Flynn refers to the military. Those quotes ...
I agree. One huge example of the kind of "I'll see you in court"-type of American. And this is the difference between Trump and the kind of leaders th...
