Now when the United States is again under populist leadership, I would come back to this discussion that we had a year ago. In the OP I wrote: I would...

Here I would side with @"Moliere". It is a logical problem. Or basically that the measurement problem is a logical problem, hence you cannot just supp...

Umm... as the set of rational numbers is countably infinite, I would say there's as many rational numbers as there are natural numbers or "even ration...

Hmm.... The Corona pandemic killed about 1,2 million people in the United States alone. In the World roughly seven million. Now we had a thread about ...

Well, EU membership, just as with actually NATO membership, countries have asked themselves to join, not that they have been forced to join. Countries...

So when it's your country who will need assistance, will you be then happy with allies that decide that what they can do to answer your call for artic...

In the end it's not our decision to do. It's the Ukrainians that should decide how to go forward. And I think it's totally consistent to back up Ukrai...

What's suspicious is the national security advisor going along with Usha Vance to a dog sledge competition in Greenland. The Greenlanders aren't amuse...

And if the support for Ukraine is dropped, Russia will surely prevail. https://www.politico.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21/293077_1536_rgb-1024x719....

Here's one, a cartoon encouraging "domestic terrorism"? https://scontent.fqlf1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/486105957_1066391055523293_17541313852632...

The financial measures are always overstated, because for Putin this is an existential endeavor. He will put nearly everything on the line and only wo...

In Sweden the first legislation protecting women was given by king Magnus Ladulås in 1280. In Finnish, the term use is naisrauha, direct translation i...

An American saying how it is. Just love the constant honking in support of the cars going by. I've said that Musk will be the most hated guy in the US...

That attack might not take the form which it took in February 24th 2022. Please understand that the objective is to 1) destroy the Transatlantic allia...

Giving arms to a belligerent isn't the same as being in war. That we've learnt from the Cold War. He simply says this to justify his action to attack ...

He isn't, really? If you listen for example to Tucker Carlson interviewing Steve Witkoff, Trump's real estate friend turned negotiator, you can clearl...

I think things can be changing now:
March 23, 2025 at 18:26
Finland and Denmark issued travel warnings to the US. I find the Finnish the warning quite sound: The Danish one is similar: But it's not only this. A...
March 23, 2025 at 18:18
This simply isn't true. During the Cold War, there was a credible deterrence against the Soviet threat. The Bundeswehr had a strength of half a millio...
March 23, 2025 at 11:12
And actually Putin has to think the same way here. Yes, the Kremlin can now acknowledge that the US is in line with them, yet Trump's friendliness is ...
March 22, 2025 at 21:33
I thought you would see it now in Canada, where I assume you are living. It's not about the Overton window been blown open, when you question the sove...
March 22, 2025 at 21:25
Exactly. It wasn't a planned autocoup, because then Trump would have prepared for it. Now he just through something of a Hail Mary pass at the last mo...

It's not a what if. January 6th happened. https://images.axios.com/QgmMXmDxEsU9kGCy3OsIk6F7rPo=/0x103:7000x4041/1920x1080/2024/08/27/1724788746569.jpg...

How are the very first principles of calculus wrong? What are you talking about? Actually you give a perfect example of something not being wrong, but...

Wonderful take on Trump's and Putin's phonecalls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzk6SoZxgPQ
March 22, 2025 at 00:57
Not true, but useful? Ok, that really doesn't make any sense. Calculus is a part of mathematics and totally accepted. Please don't start to argue that...
March 22, 2025 at 00:55
I did answer your arguments. Just in the last response I wrote you. Infinite is different from the finite. If you start from a finite situation, now w...
March 22, 2025 at 00:40
Yeah, but I guess everyone should understand the connection that infinity and an infinitesimal has. (Or limits)
March 21, 2025 at 23:49
That would be true if there would be a finite number of rooms. Then the person in the last room would find there's no room for him or her. But it's an...

Our partisan troll takes it very seriously. It's not arson or vandalism, this is 9/11 level terrorism, and thus the perpetrators ought to be handled l...

Yes, when the second-in-command Elon Musk's cars are vandalized, it's the job of the US Attorney General Pam Blondi to act and make the charges! :snic...

Uh, nope. OK, let's try another way. I assume (from the above) you know the idea of the Hilbert Hotel works. Please watch this video (only six minutes...
March 21, 2025 at 16:15
Where would you start? First of all, do you know what's the difference between countable and uncountable here? Basically, the "legit move" is that you...

A circle has infinite amount of tangents, yet in every place of it's circumference it has just one. In Mathematics, infinity exists. Clear and simple....

MAGA hats might be viewed in a different light in twenty years from now, but that doesn't mean a thing today. Notice how easy it seems to be to put th...

Why do you think so? There's far enough resources, technological ability and I would say unity to defend the union. Going on in out of the area peace ...

People may say that, but they don't understand it. The part that there will be destruction around, even if it's not your house that was shredded into ...
March 20, 2025 at 09:56
There's been enough of "resets" and understanding of Putin's Russia. As long as Putin's Russia is as hostile as it is, we should treat it as a threat,...
March 20, 2025 at 09:35
Straight from the playbook of Victor Orban's Hungary, actually. Cannot be said anymore that the separation of powers is working in the US. I'd also ad...

I think that even Machiavelli said that city-states raise better armies than monarchs that use soldiers of fortune, the Condottieri. Simply put it, wi...

Actually he said that he knows both Putin and Zelenskyi well. Yet that promise was understandably in the promises like "Build a wall and have Mexico p...

Seems that we agree. At least this day. There have been many terrible days for US foreign policy. Yet many fantastic days for Russia. How then if ther...

And actually, we aren't talking anymore about think-tank researchers or academicians talking about nuclear deterrence. In the case of Poland, the need...

That's the real question. Basically they first have to dip even more into their own equipment. But for example Finland is sending prototype equipment ...

Of course. Trump wants to overthrow Orban because... 4D Chess? For Putin the first objective is to destroy NATO, the secondary objective is to destroy...
