Go to the ocean shoreline on a clear sunny day and look at how outgoing ships simply "sink" into the horizon and incoming ships emerged from the horiz...

If the citizens of the US have this national identity of being "American", it's hard to tell that actually now you are going to be Northamerican and s...

That does connect still somehow, even if there is Brazil. Of course, these countries aren't as in such good terms with each other than are for example...

Even if the main object is distraction and to dominate the narrative, this still would be closer to imperialism than actual war. But indeed this is th...

Northamericanism? What is that? Note that Mexico is part of North America, so why if logical with continentalism, then simply both South and North Ame...

Never? See here and Trump turnaround here You seem not to notice that I'm talking about policy implementations that Trump did during his administratio...

I think that it's far more that the people working for the government want to serve well and the people that are governed themselves either accept or ...

The whole of our society is based on instincts and biological drives similar to animals. We've just gone way forward from the hunter-gatherer pact, th...

What are you rambling about? Opposing H-1B visas wasn't a Trump tweet, it was a policy implemented by Trump. And btw the only one consistent here on t...
January 08, 2025 at 05:48
Of course. Yet denial is so sweet for the Maga-people. I just love how Trump so clearly shows just what he is, even before taken the oath and before s...

And that's the way you get down the rabbit hole: So defense from aggression is justifiable and understandable. If so, is then a pre-emptive attack jus...

Perhaps the admins were Finns and were disgusted about the idea that Sweden would have more heavy metal bands than Finland. :wink: Well, I guess there...

Yep. No other languages allowed here. I remember starting having a conversation in Swedish with a PF member and the PF-NKVD shut it down extremely qui...

I don't think it's even the classified part. Ordinary civilan government stuff is classified. Foreign relations has a lot of classified stuff and so d...

They don't only party. They drink to forget the reality. Just like with American popping pills and using drugs. Or do you think that all those fentano...

Then think just what we call the most successful military operations? They aren't called wars. They're just military operations. Just like Operation D...
January 05, 2025 at 13:55
Military is an integral and essential part of historical and modern societies, even if we don't admit it. Even those few countries that don't have mil...

Ample reasons why Australia wasn't a home for many millions of Aboriginals in 1788. When the English came around there were likely as many as there we...

Ahhh, the h1b-visas :hearts: ! The cornerstone of US science and technology, that the nativists simply hate. Funny thing that DOGE hasn't even started...

Yet they haven't got the reputation what the Belgians got after with their actions in Africa as "European colonists". Yet the Dutch are a perfect exam...

Warrior gene? That sounds to me like stuff that people with absolutely no knowledge of war and warfighting and a very negative view of "warriorhood" w...

The Dutch have had their colonial wars, but it's usually said that the Dutch have been quite smart when it has come to their colonies. But they tried ...

War in a way is legalized violence as the nations or groups that usually consider each other belligerents or enemies. It is also normalized: in a war,...
January 03, 2025 at 23:34
And armed struggle between either nations or groups of people. Then you have the legal definitions of just what is conisidered to be a war. And all re...
January 03, 2025 at 16:50
In my view this wouldn't be the first definition of use for the term "war". Inner struggle or something?

That's one thing that can happen with Trump 2 administration, if everything would go nice and well also. Infidelity in the end isn't at all an issue, ...

But do you remember the actual politics of the time? The polarization between the Republicans and the Democrats started in earnest back then with crea...

Trump has no political ideology. It's telling that Trump himself didn't last time think that "drain the swamp" rhetoric would go anywhere, but he can ...

If mainstream political parties react to the wishes of the population, populism doesn't take over. Yet the reaction has to be swift and decisive, not ...

Yet Trump's agenda, starting with going after the "deepstate" that "robbed him from an election victory" seems to me quite strong "them versus us" nar...

Assumption that the world is deterministic, is determinism. No matter in what context, be it physics, quantum mechanics or a loophole in Bell's theore...
