As I said. We Finns are genuinely surprised that we should be the most happy people in the World. Like, really? What the hell is wrong you with others...
I can see the link. Yeah, Bibi likely learned a lot new when listening to Trump. But it was a beautiful sound for him. Now ethnic cleansing or "moving...
Yet one crucial thing didn't happen during the Financial Crisis of 2008 as did with the S&L crisis earlier is that nobody went to jail. Only one pyram...
Think for a moment about it. Without time, you wouldn't see movement. Time is an integral part of motion and movement. The coin takes time of what, on...
I think Rubio's time as secretary of state will end sooner or later. He, Marco Rubio, is already showing the signs of "being the adult in the room", w...
Even if I consider myself a conservative, I will take the benefits of a welfare system to a system without it. The largest benefits are simply not mea...
It is true that Freddie and Fannie went along with the excesses (I think both directors were fired), but great example of an totally reckless actor wa...
Nope. It wasn't government run banks that made the 2008 financial crisis. Ninja-loans happened because of the twisted incentives in the market like th...
Oh, those will surely go. But that won't do it. Sooner or later will come a hickup in the form of a crisis. US administrations just push it forward an...
Hope you get good treatment! I think it has been discussed here earlier just why the US system is so expensive. It's when people's first contact to he...
What in the WW2 example is usually forgotten is that huge change that happened of one spending totally ending, fighting the war, that opened another t...
He will start to insist on the actions he talks about. No way to avoid that. This is why we will have the trade war. Rubio, clearly a normal Republica...
They clearly did. They wanted something similar, yet they also got a lot with that. Notably Trump and also Musk, which the latter they might not have ...
As I've stated again and again. Elon Musk will be the most hated man in the US in the future. You see, it will be alright for the South African born b...
You are wrong, at least in my opinion. The history wasn't like that. Believe or not, but Lapland was very much uninhabited and is still quite uninhabi...
Fascist? Again an awkward use of the term fascism. It's basically eugenics and racist ideas, not fascism. Sweden or Norway (or Finland) weren't fascis...
For 30 days. Time for companies to start looking at ways to evade tariffs, if they hadn't thought that Trump is serious... And US steel producers read...
Yeah. Peace with Israel has continued without Islamists taking over. So? Or you think it would be better to have Egypt as a failed state too, somethin...
It's going to be as chaotic like this. This is 100% Trump. Simply US soft power and role is going to demolish. How on Earth will they (DOGE) look over...
A bit off the topic, but Swedes had similar policies. I think we Finns didn't, because we were looked down upon as Mongols by the Swedish racists of t...
I think that we are talking about autocracy and totalitarianism rather than just fascism. Totalitarianism would be more useful than the just fascism. ...
Oh no! On the contrary. Read some Lenin and you can see the populist elements in bolshevism and in Marxism-Leninism. Imperial Russia wasn't obviously ...
Kash Patel in his confirmation hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee naturally had no idea of the insurrectionist that had pleaded guilty and now ...
And here's why populism leads to fascism: by emphasizing the divide between the rulers and the "ordinary people" and stating that key societal problem...
Hell with all USAID? Well good that a 45 million program out of 42,5 billion was found out, but I guess all of them can go when you can cheer for 0,00...
What do you know, nuclear deterrence works. Supplying arms to one side isn't going to war. Never has been. And that supplying arms has been the issue....
:100: :up: With the realism you argue for, Finland never would have made it against the Soviet Union. We would have suffered the part like the Baltic ...
All I'm saying that this is quite similar as many other reasons given for conflicts. I agree that it's totally unfruitful to ponder who is right and w...
It really isn't so different. It's just marketed as such. Do notice that Israel has expanded the jewish colonies in order to make more clear that the ...
Of course. And the real issue perhaps is how not only does the "Overton Window" of what is acceptable change, a lot of policies can have a surprising ...
At least Trump does react to polls and his supporters, so a lot that Trump has promised to do won't happen. Also the courts will defy his most insane ...
I guess that the reasoning of remember 10/7 will have the lifespan as 9/11 was the reason for intervening everywhere. About two decades at most. For y...
I'm not following your reasoning here at all. It doesn't make any sense. First of all, any secessionist movement where one people get independence fro...
The whole Israeli objective is to make living unbearable and basically impossible in Gaza. As long as Israel's trading partners don't be upset about i...
Neomac, that is the issue here. When have Palestinian refugees that have fled had the ability to come back? Never. Not after 1948, not after 1967. Hen...
These kind of statistics were given and noticed in Brexit, btw, when people started looking at what the Poles and other EU-citizens were doing in the ...
What is helpful for Ukraine is new technology that has given it the chance to hit back at Russia in a way before only was possible if you could have a...
Anyone suggesting that forced removal of people from where they have always lived is practical, or a great solution, should then be ready to take thos...
I remember someone saying that basically set theory was first seen as a way to finally solve the problematic nature of analysis. I was a casualty of t...
Israel's basic paradox is that it would need a strong state capable of defending it's territory (as Egypt and Jordan) in order for there to be peace. ...
Category theory would be the philosophers companion here, but uh... we haven't been trained in category theory in school or in the university. That is...
Your enemy in a conflict is naturally destabilizing. How could it be something else, because it's your enemy? Yet you can see the obvious problem with...
I disagree. The PLO doesn't have it's roots in Islamism, as Hamas has. As the area had been part of the Ottoman Empire, with the exception of Egypt, t...
Clausewitz looks at war from the perspectives of nations states, but there's the notion of war as a civil war, which is a rather different kind of mon...
@"Maw" made that remark six years ago, so at least for me the link is saying "not found". Yeah, not everything stays in the net. And Scruton died five...
Well, umm.... in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory infinity is taken as an axiom. Hence there's no proof for infinity. Then there's open question of the Con...
The issue here is that the Palestinian identity is fixed on Palestine, the territory, just as Zionism has fixed the Jewish identity on the land of Isr...
Forced transfer or forced settlement has been used numerous of times, famously used by Stalin and the Soviet Union to control it's Empire. Ethnic clea...
Model Trumpian choice. Wanted as governor of South Dakota to deploy the local National Guard to the southern border with the financing of a billionair...
