Textbook case how the US gets into conflicts: Or rely on the consent of the US Congress, likely. I can imagine drones hitting houses that may perhaps ...
That's the worry. That he will do the same thing for Ukrainian that he did to the Republic of Afghanista, a surrender deal and hence assist the Russia...
No @"NOS4A2", just stop and think about this one for a while: It's impossible for ANY President to perform at the same time of 1) tackling all the cri...
Again you fail to answer what wrong Christopher Wray has done. Perhaps the reason is that Wray got the highest DOJ reward for public service in 2005, ...
Certainly. And as history shows it, we have no idea of them at the present. Only the future will define who is seen as a great person of the start of ...
Or Trump wants Patel to be his Lavrenti Beriya. But of course, when it's John Bolton commenting, conspiracy theorists will be enthusiastic that someon...
It's basically quite logical. When you see your own government as the enemy, then you will parrot similar narratives as those countries truly hostile ...
And all deals simply don't go through. "Winning" any deal might not be a win. Why I think this is important is that usually all US Presidents attempt ...
Oh, Biden is running the show at least to pardon his son. Yes, he is inept and corrupt. But that doesn't change things for the next administration. Wh...
I don't care a Goddamn fuck what Patel "exposes". It's not the director of the FBI that's job is to "expose" people. It's his job to lead a 37 000 per...
So next absolutely loyal sycophant yes-man Trump wants to head (read demolish) an US institution is Kash Patel to head the FBI. Here's (from three mon...
Trump will do that for him? :chin: Actually, the Kremlin surely hopes this happens. An intense trade war might do the trick. Or it might not. Let's re...
Yes, this is so. The double whammy of two incompetent leaders is what created us scenes where desperate Afghans try to fly jet transports holding on t...
What else would someone say? And it's not like China is putting sanctions or limits on Russia because statements like that. China isn't going to go al...
:rofl: Yes, you've gone over the few many times over and over again. Jeffrey Sachs, Mearsheimer, the tiny lot. Good debate is to produce a counterargu...
I'd disagree with that. Putin isn't under the thumb of Xi. Just look at how many times the Russians have disappointed Xi with their wars. First of all...
Repeating the delusional Kremlin lies isn't going to go anywhere. You can defend the rapist and accuse the rape victim as long as you want and try to ...
The guarantees that Germany made that Ukraine wouldn't become a member after the military buildup that was "military exercizes". Or just read Angela M...
:100: :up: That's the truth, yet there are many Putin apologists like one frequent commentator on the thread who promote "realpolitik" and the anti-Am...
Not the democratic party leadership. They haven't been angry. Yes, only about Trump have they been angry, but not about how things are. One has to und...
This is actually a reason why in general the center left has lost to populism. Or anti-elitist demagogues, which would be more accurate. Not just the ...
This is a rational choice, yet knowing the EU, no country alone can be a real leader... except the US if it would see alliances important (which it wo...
Do you make notes when you listen? It's a good way, especially when listening to a person giving a longer response or a lecture. At work I do that, bu...
Seems like any counterargument against Tzeentch is "cherry picking". Like things like what the objectives of the Separatists were. Oh yes, if I mentio...
Coming from the person that repeats one single reason for the war. :snicker: Look, the obvious war goals were arleady there to anybody to see in 2014....
Really? That I say that NATO enlargement was one reason, but so is also all the stuff the Putin has said, acted, put into law about the annexations of...
As they exactly did about the lands they wanted to annex from Ukraine, Novorossiya. I'm not pretending anything. I myself have said many times that Ru...
None of that has any meaning, @"Tzeentch" Face the reality what Putin wants. You are like someone talking over and over about the Oslo Peace process, ...
So annexation of four Ukrainian oblasts didn't happen in the echo chamber that @"Tzeentch" lives in or is somehow meaningless? On 30 September 2022, R...
Because, as you said, he and his voters don't know what tariffs and trade wars do, we are going to see a lot of damage. It's quite inevitable. Just lo...
Russia chose the military path to increase it's territorial annexations. Denying this and only talking about "NATO Enlargement" as the only cause is p...
I agree that the idea of giving Ukraine enough to survive and only that is the cause that makes the prospects of negotiations with Russia now so dire....
The defeatist attitude that will guarantee a victory for Putin. Hoping that Trump will cut a surrender deal to Putin, just like he did with the Taleba...
Notice who did that? Vichy-France. Showed btw the anti-semitism quite well there also. But were they bad for an isolationist? Europe's troubles were E...
Simply to have Bronze you had to have trade as tin and copper wasn't found in the same place under one Empire. And then these ancient were basically t...
Would it be so? What if we stumble upon something that is inherently random, but still want to make some "sense" about it and then start imagining pat...
Sorry to say it, but this is quite delusional. Perhaps you didn't mean "going it on our own" to meaning being totally self sufficient in everything, b...
Actually I didn't know that, thanks for informing me! That takes care of that. The interest for the US is to stay as a Superpower. Whatever Trump thin...
The point that @"Patterner" also made of our brains being different might be the real difference, but even that might be smaller than we think. Bipeda...
The erratic behaviour for Russia was to believe that they could have a Blitzkrieg victory over Ukraine because the occupation of Crimea had been so ea...
For politicians to put down the objectives for the war is proper, to decide to go to war. But politicians shouldn't then become generals themselves an...
You might ask yourself first why the closest relatives to us are the chimpanzees. The simple answer is: we ourselves. There's no Neandethals, Denisova...
A fetus becomes conscious before being born and early self-conscious emotions appear during at age 15-24 months. Yet ask yourself, if nobody had talke...
I think the option of making "Trump proof" would be close. But again, this is how Biden has worked. First M1 Abrams tanks weren't an option. Too compl...
