I've read about this. Canada has to really think a lot over when suddenly there's an actual border where there hasn't been an actual one earlier. And ...
And how professional and able you think Donald Trump will be in capitalizing on the opportunities a trade war against basically everybody? You think t...
And this is the real problem with authoritarian regimes: once in power, they can easily implement to utterly crazy policies simply because they can, w...
Just look at Brexit and the thread that we have here on PF. Now basically the last thing that the Brexiteers, who were so enthusiastic about Brexit, e...
Two months is a very short time, NOS. But I think the largest issue is the intentional unraveling of the alliance system that the US has had. Now, as ...
That's the lie that people believe in. The truth is that you are better off with international trade than you are without it. In the end, Trump is jus...
@"NOS4A2" again high on something or dreaming. The budget won't be balanced, not for a long time. Last year the federal government spent $6.75 trillio...
No. First of all, if you would live in a country with cold winters and snow, you would notice the cold weather. And I've been to the tropics, so I kno...
Assuming the Kingdom of Denmark gives away Greenland. If not and Trump takes it anyway, that is an annexation. :snicker: Perhaps in Hungary, something...
I'd hope at sometimes when the actual primary source is a Facebook posting or heck, a Signal-posting, then the actual source could be referred than to...
I've participated in the thread far longer that you have been a member, and I'm one of the ones that is an optimist here... if optimism means that you...
Yet the fact is that Putin is a gambler. He did gamble with the annexation of Crimea and that worked well. He gambled with Syria and lost. He gambled ...
In polls, 70% of Americans don't want to annex Greenland and 84% of Greenlanders don't want to join the US. Notice that even our own MAGA-follower her...
Ok. What exactly you mean by this? ? ? ? What? Sorry, but as @"Punshhh" said above, this sounds very strange. I do live in a country that even still h...
What's your real point? As if that doesn't happen with the those who argue that a) climate change is not happening or b) if it's happening, it's not m...
Listened to JD Vance's speech in Greenland. To me it seems like an acknowledgement that the delusions of Trump of annexing Greenland are in fact truly...
If Putin is so reasonable, why did he attack Ukraine? Why did he think it would take only a few weeks? The fact is that he thought and what was briefe...
It's a mistake to believe that before modern police and law enforcement or written laws there was just total anarchy without any laws. The benefits of...
Exactly. And actually the case of the troublesome infinitesimal, which both Newton and Leibniz could quite well describe to be calculated, still was s...
Your losing it, because that's nonsensical babble. Yes, many say the same thing and question why we feed the troll. But that's how the MAGA-crowd feel...
A military serviceman or an intelligence officer using Signal-app to forward timetables of future military strikes, an issue obviously classified in a...
This is correct. And the obvious idea for the supporters is that because nothing would happen otherwise, Trump needs an Elon Musk, to go through "the ...
But that doesn't answer the questions we have about infinity. If we have countable infinity and then uncountable infinity, Cantor argues there's this ...
I agree. I would just say that he's not losing. It's a stalemate, actually. But that's OK for Putin. And you said it yourself: "What could persuade hi...
Again, nope. Marco Rubio hasn't served. Steve Witkoff hasn't served. John Rattcliffe hasn't served. And we heard from the DNI Tulsi Gabbard that no cl...
One would hope that. But even if Hillary Clinton didn't send similar information, still, I think this all just shows the utter disrespect of the polit...
And how about the lies that there wasn't anything top secret said in the messaging? Now we all can be a judge about that: No, sorry, telling even half...
What he said in his inaugral speech is something that he wants to do. He wants to enlarge the territory of the US. That's it. Let's really think about...
NOS got it wrong, it wasn't general Schwarzkopf, as I've explained. It was when the French didn't go along with the Iraqi invasion of 2003 with Dubya ...
Incorrect. Don't trust some stupid "Brainyquote" to get things right, NOS4A2: (See here) It wasn't Schwarzkopf, it was a puny undersecretary pushing t...
Or eaten by a polar bear. That would be the story for the MAGA conspiracy theorists. https://cdn.outsideonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/PolarBea...
So JD Vance is going too into Greenland and his wife has erased meeting with any actual Greenlanders as she won't go to Nuuk and the Dog Sled competit...
Yep, it's an easy way to understand the whole thing. If your smart and observing, it should!!! It is confusing. Because then you get to the really awe...
Ummm.... Yes, they were indeed derelict in using Signal. And if it wasn't Waltz, but "hackers", is it really better? JD and JG typo can happen, it's a...
Apart from going through attack plans on Signal, before the attack was implemented. Perhaps simple Waltz mixed up "JD" and "JG" and nobody of them not...
No, you truly don't seem to understand it: Putin will stop the war, when continuing the war is possibly a worse outcome than having a peace. That's it...
But you would be OK that actually no ally will come to help you. So what's the point of talking about an alliance? Hybrid attacks shouldn't be tolerat...
And there's a 1-to-1 correspondence: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,...) (2, 4, 6, 8,10,12,14,...) OK, basically how Cantor showed that real numbers are uncount...
But it does puzzle us still. Because if you think that we know everything about mathematical infinity, then I guess there should be an answer to the C...
My favorite is comparing the scandals that the Republicans uphold by Congressional investigations to tarnish Democrats and then compare them to the fu...
QALY's are cost efffectiveness indicators and death toll are quite different things. And the Netherlands had one of the lowest death rates to COVID-19...
Is this a "misuse" in mathematics? We are talking about mathematics. Pick two real numbers, and it can be shown that there are real numbers between th...
That was a case example of how that was tried to be controlled, by those that had ties to it. No, it was one of the large pandemics and historically a...
What I meant is that afterwards a lot seems to be the same if our own lives are similar, when we live and work at the same place, see same friends. It...
