Seems that Trump's idiotic "Recession by tariffs" is coming closer. Hence Trump seems to be begging for the Chinese to "come to the table". Yet the co...
I think that these guys were truly sincere in their goals, yet the disdain and hate they had towards the system was clear right from the start. The st...
Ok, with "the government" I'm more talking about the executive branch. Naturally the right wants there to be the legislature and the judiciary too. Th...
Trump is going for all the strengths that the US has had and enjoyed: 1) The Economy, 2) The Alliances it has, 3) The Universities. And he also wants ...
MAGA isn't a normal conservative movement. Sure, many leftist commentators will say that this is actual right-wing politics simply exposed to it's tru...
As someone said, when debating the Culture War, one doesn't have to use the brain. And anyway, it seems that "Elon Musk's unprecedented intrusion deep...
The positive thing is that Ukraine's defense industry is really kicking into gear too. It's said to have 300 000 working in the military-industrial co...
Wait a minute. Isn't politics all about moral issues to what existing laws don't give us direct straight forward answers? Isn't politics about what is...
Putin would be drooling to get one. And yes, basically that's what he is trying to get. Hope it will do that. If the US commitment wanes and the US wo...
Nope. I didn't say that. These things are quite subtle in many ways. Just as were the issues when FBI looked for moles in CIA, while actually the wors...
I totally agree. And this is why it seems to me much more of a manufactured issue as the intent is clearly to get supporters to rally around a cause a...
You can argue that the politicians respond to Culture War issues that people are already talking about. I would be here a bit more skeptical. I would ...
What I find here really showing how Hegseth is crumbling is the following issue, which just shows that he is totally incapable of handling such a posi...
Talk shows, podcasters and other commentators etc. can surely debate Culture war issues, but do notice how the Culture War is played and handled by th...
Well, add to it the wooing the nativist/isolationist people in America who distrust the democratic institutions and opt for an authoritiarian leader t...
Especially the so-called "conservatism" in the US could be described more accurately to be simply lobbying efforts for the super rich disguised in an ...
Likely is bullshit. But the stupidity of the administration should never be underestimated as this administration has severe difficulties in communica...
That's the insane bullshit promoted. And I guess many MAGA diehards believe that. If only people would listen and look what Russia and Putin actually ...
Well, there's so many ways this could be answered, so it would be useful to know what are issues and fields you are interested in. Is the threoretical...
Want to bet on that? Perhaps one virtual coffee? Especially something like coffee can be tricky. :chin: Yes. When one doesn't understand the basic rea...
Take a picture what the coffees cost now in your local coffee shop and compare it to the prices same time in 2026. Take also a measurement of the coff...
The so-called "Culture War" has been a way to heat up political debate and get supporters of a party to be active. It has been used in the US for a lo...
Ok. If everybody agrees on something, there isn't much discussion then, is there? But if you come with really extreme views, a lot people might commen...
Well, if tariffs give incentives to domestic manufacture, then Americans wouldn't buy imported good, so how would then tariffs bring tax revenue? And ...
His administration want desperately to frame it as a negotiation tactic. That it was planned all a long to happen like this. Perhaps Trump wants the t...
Yes, but still Trump could build a lot of buildings. And not all builders are such failures. Besides, you do need the apartments and housing in the fi...
It's noteworthy that Trump has had this thing for tariffs even earlier. He was in first in the "Japan will overcome us" -camp and wanted tariffs to be...
Yes, that obviously is that. One reason can simply be that the banks and financial institutions do not want engage in competition. Thus there are no a...
I don't think you understand my point here at all. Who is defined basically just a troll or a crackpot, a criminal, a terrorist, an illegal/legal comb...
Ah yes, the hope of the Northern Passage! And great uninhabited real estate, just once the Arctic Sea climate is similar to the Mediterranean, you can...
Didn't Leibniz believe in his work Theodicy that we were living in the best of all worlds? Start of the 18th Century wouldn't feel so optimal to us. W...
Russia is a complete disaster and should be completely restructured. :smile: Russia's leaderships insistence on imperialism is the cause of the bleedi...
Is this btw actual policy? Not to build new homes and hence keep the housing prices going steadily up? Just check in the table UK. Same thing. Not muc...
No, I think you misunderstood my point here. Naturally those who fight the insurgents will likely call them terrorists. Even to admit that there is an...
Somehow the "madman Trump" option with the "US foreign policy elite" being limited to "Trump acolytes in his administration" seems to be a satisfying ...
I would disagree here. The window where Russia would have truly aligned itself to the West has long been shut. I think that time ended during the Koso...
Sorry, I don't understand your point. :sad: OK, now I understand what you were after. Well, do notice that when "terrorism" isn't confined to a tiny c...
This is the most stupid idea that is now thrown around. Russia has been now for a long time an ally of China and believing this lunacy of Russia turni...
To inhibit the expressions of terrorist should be understandable. I think we should always evaluate the perpetrators culpability. Many times it can be...
Will the split between UK and EU widen? Hopefully not. The UK is actually doing a lot especially when it comes to Ukraine with EU countries. Ukraine i...
Yes, exactly. We should put the bar very high. Naturally there is a lower bar, typically dealt with civil lawsuits, exist where for example I ridicule...
The lofty goals might be to get manufacturing back to the US and a third term for Trump, but it's just a trajectory that they have put into motion. No...
Definitive answer to “What is it about this type of person that justifies dismissal?” or "At what point is a moral dismissal justifiable?" That's your...
We were talking about terrorism. Yet you say then later: Make up your mind. I think you didn't understand my point. My point is that for Q1 and Q2 you...
Yes. Leontiskos, you and I go to jail if we gather funds to terrorists. Being OK with that happening wouldn't be good for the administrator of this si...
You have made, perhaps unintentionally, predictions of the future. You don't have to be the advocate here for Trump, and I think it just blinds you fr...
