It has oversight of the European Union itself and makes EU legislation. So you have these members of European Parliament, who focus on what the Counci...

ISS is manned and can have astronauts there, even longer. I think this was just basically a cost cutting decision not to create a new flight, but just...

I've noticed. Great! That's positive that we agree on something. Ok, so when we understand that the reserve currency is a political decision and the r...

Yep. Trump is continuing to pour fuel on the flames, so the task ought to be easy. Basically the is Tesla stock would fall -50% from today, when it ha...

It's not a counterargument. I agree that not much else is happening than old man Bernie getting crowds to listen to him. How old was Bernie?
March 15, 2025 at 00:08
Ok, for this I have to make some comments. Defense treaties aren't established when is there is no threat. And alliance isn't formed that then goes lo...

Bernie could easily go to talk to the MAGA crowd. The rednecks, the hicks, and so on in the fly-over country where they have voted for Trump.
March 15, 2025 at 00:00
Do you understand the difference and the different roles of the European Parliament and the national Parliaments of each member state? And when it com...
March 14, 2025 at 23:52
This just shows how little you know of Europe. The European Parliament isn't here important. It's the national Parliaments, because the decisions are ...

I'm in my country I am a conservative. I've voted the conservative party, I support them, I've never voted or supported the social democrats. Still, I...
March 14, 2025 at 22:58
No, NOBODY HAD TARIFFS against you like idiot Trump has now done. This Tariff bullshit is ALL OF TRUMP'S DOING. Nobody was so foolish as Trump to thin...
March 14, 2025 at 20:43
Oh, so you love also the trade war and the tariffs you'll pay? Not caring so much about the separation of powers in a republic? Just asking.
March 14, 2025 at 15:58
Exactly. But seriously, even if Trump is a devoted ally of Israel, his delusional ideas don't actually help Israel. And imagine if Trump follows Elon'...
March 14, 2025 at 12:04
Never underestimate the strength of denial. People won't admit that they made any errors themselves. So let this all just sink in. Have Americans feel...

Note that the sovereign countries have understood the necessity for integration and for their to be system of having a Commission. They have given som...
March 14, 2025 at 11:52
I think we have to understand that the EU is truly an union of sovereign states, which will continue to be sovereign states. I remember years ago an E...

The "man of peace" is wanting the Pentagon (or more accurately SOUTHCOM) to draw plans on taking Panama. I guess with this madman, it wasn't enough th...
March 14, 2025 at 06:53
You don't invent yourself these issues. Mandatory Palestine existed and then people there were called Palestinians. And once Isreal was formed, these ...
March 14, 2025 at 06:48
I think the reasoning here is that the democratic republic, the needed functioning institutions, are difficult, but not unobtainable. India has been a...
March 14, 2025 at 06:44
Was a Palestinian. But then, you know, some people there formed Israel and those people are called Israelis.
March 13, 2025 at 22:52
We surely will here after Trump talks more to his friend, Vladimir, how understandable Putin's line is and how much Putin and Trump want peace. But it...
March 13, 2025 at 22:47
I would correct that: Russian negotiations tactics: demand something ridiculous, don't move an inch and wait for Trump to bully and pressure to give i...
March 13, 2025 at 22:45
And that's why Canada can see the total bluff of Trump. If the US might be so delusional to occupy Greenland and it's 50 000 inhabitants, then face th...
March 13, 2025 at 21:07
I think that everybody thinks so. Without stability or in anarchy, the first "value" is simply one's own safety. This has been seen so many times. If ...
March 13, 2025 at 08:50
And you think anything like that can be made with a demented and crazy idea of annexing Canada? They aren't willing to be Americans, it's just extreme...
March 13, 2025 at 08:27
I totally agree with both of you. I think it would be valuable to think just why all of this can happen. Why are Americans so OK with ruining their al...
March 12, 2025 at 15:20
Just look at how the US northern neighbors are taking Trumps nonsense. Most stupid to harm good ties with your neighbors. All this 51st state humbug r...
March 12, 2025 at 11:41
Indeed it does. And if Ukraine is slaughtered by a Molotov-Ribbentrop, sorry, Trump-Putin agreement, and given to Russia, it will stiffen the European...
March 11, 2025 at 18:39
Seems that Russia is getting it's deal thanks to it's friend Trump. A 30-day cease fire. Wonder how long that will last.
March 11, 2025 at 18:27
Yes, I definately do! If the US walks away from NATO alliance, that past American leaders worked so hard for, it will leave 31 countries 633 million p...
March 11, 2025 at 15:40
A lot of countries aren't danger of being occupied by Russia, but they sure can feel Russian hybrid warfare and the political pressure. Don't think th...
March 11, 2025 at 11:35
No. Absolutely not. Likely as old he is and when surrounded by sycophants, he won't get the message. For example, there's absolutely no reason to beli...

Iran is likely licking it's wounds for now, but the basic problem is that as a state like Syria has basically become a failed state in the way that it...
March 11, 2025 at 07:51
Trump administration stopping USAID isn't going to help this, actually. As the objective likely for the neighbors is to make Syria a failed state and ...
March 11, 2025 at 07:02
Shorting? I'm not a day trader either. Last time I did anything like that (shorting the market) was during the Financial Crisis 2008, when I invested ...
March 11, 2025 at 06:48
But on the longer time than day or a week or two, the likely of it going down is quite high ...at least if measured in real prices (inflation adjusted...

How many Canucks have you gotten to want to join the US, @"NOS4A2"? https://vancouver.citynews.ca/wp-content/blogs.dir/sites/9/2025/02/02/Buy-Canadian...
March 11, 2025 at 00:25
Everything points to this. Forget even the talk, forget the "great television", if we just look at the actions that Trump actually has done, they all ...
March 10, 2025 at 20:59
Actually no. Very few countries have aspirations for territorial expansion. UK, Austria, France, Spain, Germany etc. don't have politicians pushing fo...
March 10, 2025 at 19:51
A bigger reason is that countries haven't had a realistic energy policies in the first place. Especially thinking that renewable energy will take care...
March 10, 2025 at 17:03
Yes, you are totally correct. Or better perhaps, after the 2008 Russo-Georgian war. But that was the time when American politicians dreamed about a "R...
March 10, 2025 at 07:13
Try to understand that helping Ukraine isn't such a huge deal, it's not at all so costly, especially compared to the War on Terror thing. The West is ...
March 10, 2025 at 07:10
Above all, a nation state isn't just a service. It simply isn't similar to going to the market and buying stuff or a service. True patriotism, love of...
March 10, 2025 at 00:07
Unfortunately I have to agree with you. Yet Trump is more of a threat to the US than he is to Europe. Europe can go it's own way, but Americans should...
March 09, 2025 at 23:59
Should be perhaps on the Israel/Middle East-thread, but anyway... The really good thing about Syria is that we haven't heard from Syria. It's been qui...
March 09, 2025 at 23:39
Actually, he isn't. Not in any way now. And Trump knows it, actually. Getting your allies to participate more in the cost isn't the same thing as goin...
March 09, 2025 at 19:28
Are you really sure about that? Putin hates the US. Yet the Maga idiots thinks that Putin being a cultural conservative and against Gay Europe is a fr...
March 09, 2025 at 18:52
No, what you are stating is the two party system that I'm talking about, which is actually in the minds of Americans. Oh... I have to vote the Dems/th...
March 09, 2025 at 11:52
There only one answer: only the people themselves. But if the politicians can instill that polarization and hatred at each other, then the current sys...
March 08, 2025 at 22:23
No. To have the Soviet Union or the satellite Warsaw pact states or to have a free democracy don't have the same consequences. Just as being under Rus...
