Well, you could say I'm banging my head against a wall when discussing Ukraine with Tzeentch, but I think discussion is important. Especially with peo...
Exactly. In many of these conflicts in countries that lack social cohesion and strong institutions, something like a collective "defending your countr...
Indeed. But for you 41 000 - 45 000 killed is a reason that it's not a genocide? Yes, it indeed isn't 100 000 or 400 000. Or at similar level that Bas...
With the Republicans, the fear of Trump is actually a fear about the MAGA crowd and the voters in the next election. How will that go if inflation pic...
Then there's inherent complex problems in this situation. And here issue like the oil fields. With oil fields now controlled by the SDF is something t...
Sigh. That's the real problem here. First it's a security zone. Intended to create a distance between the now annexed Golan Heights and possible morta...
No. This is quite historical. When there is nobody willing to fight for something, then the whole thing simply comes down. Armies can simply unravel a...
Do we really celebrate violence? Usually we remember those that have perished wars, which makes the remembrance not a happy celebration anniversary in...
Unlike you portray it, both politicians and the media are extremely heedful as what comes of the HTS. One is what you say, other what you do. HTS have...
Indeed they did. And indeed they also showed very quickly there own side. But in Afghanistan, there was just one actor that took power. Also, notice h...
I'll just say it again: It's just whimsical to say that a guy that has now since the start of the war said how Ukraine is collapsing and how victoriou...
Well, he said that And just look at the guys videos! Positive commentary on Russia, Russia and Russia. This guy is really a spokesman for Putin's Russ...
Thanks for the Pro-Kremlin Putinist line. :wink: :up: (No seriously, naturally the Russian line here is interesting.) Yet I think that unlike mr Merco...
If we really believed in what the UN stands for, and didn't treat it like rubbish. If country or a region collapses in a way that it cannot take care ...
Firstly, 1) They showed cooperation. That's a big issue. 2) At least what I've noticed, there hasn't been atrocities against minorities done in the li...
Or simply once when the insurgents clearly showed sings that they wouldn't be genocidal lunatics as ISIS was in wanting to create an international Cal...
Now as the Assad regime has fallen, the question of this thread is extremely important. It also shows how the US stance, which is still tied to 9/11 a...
Yes, the Syrian Army is collapsing and I presume Damascus will soon fall. What happens in the coastal area of Syria where you have the Alawite minorit...
A lot of people are saying the Trump is first pushing the MAGA crazies first and thus to see who goes through, and only then gives other candidates. I...
At least on the video footage, you could hear the ominous and very distinctive sound of the GAU-8 gun going off. That's more than show of force. Well,...
Two credible commentators have given the line that Assad fucked up really badly in the international field, both Turkey and Saudi-Arabia were willing ...
At least South Koreans take democracy seriously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhxnvVn0IVw (btw, not just a women as the caption says, Ahn Gwi-ryeon...
Even if this thread is 9 years old, I think it's now time to revive this and debate the thread started by @"BC" The Assad regime is now collapsing. Th...
FBI directors are given a ten year tenure for a reason: that they wouldn't be political appointees that are replaced as the administration changes. It...
Great! Somebody understood me. :smile: I wouldn't say this. Randomness doesn't meant that there isn't any reason. Randomness simply means that there i...
This is how it seems to have gone. An attempt of a self-coup, when everything else has not worked... So the positive side here might be the democratic...
Yes, this is a small forum. Quite a strawman argument. The hostages, just as killing of civilian families, is evident, as I referred to Al Aqsa Flood ...
I've been thinking that what logic is missing is some kind of axiom of uniqueness, which would give the logical foundation for subjectivity. What this...
This is the real problem in uh... modern science, logic, philosophy. As I said, we can see this in how lost we are when the issue is subjectivity itse...
I agree here with Banno. There's no contradiction, even if Alexa would refer to the cloud-based voice server. Then there's obviously a huge difference...
The point is that metaphysical randomness wouldn't refute PSR. There are so many events where simple probability theory /probability calculus works we...
What is happening now, yes. It's telling that when the ICJ issued the arrest warrants for both Netanyahu and Gallant, the Hamas leader also issued tha...
Yes, I think it was him, thanks for reminding it. Nice that others too follow what fellow members write here! And I think it was really a honest reply...
In my view @"RussellA" has a point. Why link Quantum Mechanics with something that is on a basic theoretical level? You'll easily simply drift to a de...
Well, don't know so much about South Korean politics. :yikes: Because this doesn't look like the actual tit-for-tat conflict that the Koreas sometimes...
In a way it is, yes. Yet a counterculture cannot be the prevailing culture. If it's the dominant culture, then it's not anymore a counterculture. A co...
I'm not making any ad hominem remarks. But coming back to the topic of the thread, one has to understand that Anti-Americanism typically leads to a di...
I don't think the inflation is transitory. It's endemic, structural, will happen in waves. But anyway, if the present global monetary system collapses...
You think we aren't capable of adapting to a changing climate? Do you think that a declining Global population will still mean perpetual growth? Peopl...
That's a really neat way to look at it. Well, global trade had been around for a long time. Some might argue that it really went off when the Ottomans...
As things will definately change, we simply have to cope with that change. This will force us to change our ideas and the models we use to think about...
I wouldn't be sure about that. Trump might not be a dependable partner, we'll see. There's still those Americans that actually believe in a healthy wa...
In the case of Afghanistan, it was raised. You don't need a global government to do this. That women were educated, could go to work was one of things...
Yes. It can happen, even it's extremely rare and the person getting the "original" idea won't usually know that actually his or her idea is quite orig...
Indeed the American response was totally different as in the first Twin Tower bombings, but you did it. As the saying goes, once you break it, you own...
Have you ever looked at how the Trump works and how the Trump team has worked? Have really followed how his prior tariffs/trade wars went in reality? ...
Did you notice that when you bugged out from Afghanistan, the ally of yours collapsed immediately after you directly negotiated with your Islamist ene...
