Right from the start of his political career Putin's favorite move has been war. It's an integral part of how Putin's policy. Right from the start. ht...

Of course! It's been a disaster for Russia. Not perhaps as big as for Ukraine itself, but still. Putin's gamble went all fine: first Russo-Georgian wa...

Hence it's easy to defend. Hence the urge for "Pre-emptive" attacks: simply fight on your neighbors territory. As Israel has done. When you achieve st...

This is simply false and your confusing things. It can win the conventional armies and air forces of it's neighbors. What Israel cannot do is to ventu...

Not forever. This is a high intensity conflict, a conventional war, and it cannot go like this forever. It can easily become a frozen conflict. This c...

Do remember that Turing's paper is an undecidability result. Not everything is Turing Computable, which would be very useful for us. Hence you are rea...

I think it's the typical way that actually BOTH Republicans and Democrats would do this: When corporations ask for simple rules they ought to then adh...

Realistic? - Israel has a nuclear deterrence and enjoys military superiority over all of it's neighbors. The futility of Iran's missile attacks showed...

The Sunni Shia conflict started in earnest with Iraq and later with the civil war in Syria. It hasn't intertwined actually so much. For example for a ...

You underestimate the Jewish people far too much. Really, not everything revolves around the Americans.
August 25, 2024 at 19:47
What blowback? Within Islam there's a lot of totally different struggles going on, which then splash even on our shores and then there's the question ...
August 25, 2024 at 19:46
We disagree again. The US and Israel might agree on some policies, that is true. But if it's in the interest of Israel and also the US is fine with a ...
August 25, 2024 at 17:13
Hmmm... but what did Israel do for the US actually in the War on Terror? The only thing it might have done is give intelligence... which likely played...
August 25, 2024 at 17:10
That's how bad things have gone in Israel, Tzeentch. Also do notice that the Labour party is now a tiny party and not the force it was earlier. Please...

Here's the orginal article in Finnish: IL:n tiedot: Suomen suojaksi 4 000–5 000 sotilaan panssaroitu Nato-prikaati I think it's basically just extreme...

Is it a disguise? The Likud party had as it charter "From the River to the Sea" Israel without any Palestinian state ever existing. How is that a disg...
August 24, 2024 at 20:06
Some are here the cheerleaders for the attacker in this war. First there was no attack, just US creating hysteria over a possible attack. Then it has ...

This is typical "journalism" of today, from DW: What the Finnish newspaper Iltalehti actually said is that an lower HQ is to be established at Mikkeli...

Actually we have that in Finland with the Presidential elections as we have a multiparty system with three or four large similar voter base having par...
August 22, 2024 at 17:09
In short, just having two political parties simply cannot be representive of what a population wants. That's the problem. In fact, when these two entr...

How this would happen is the real question. Perhaps have then the European development. Wonder why or how Europeans started to talk about peaceful int...
August 20, 2024 at 10:19
This is a whimsical and ludicrous statement that naturally Israel (and especially it's far right) will want to cherish. It is taken out of context, bu...
August 20, 2024 at 08:43
And that's unfortunately been the objective for Likud. That's why Bibi gave money to Hamas earlier. Just as we can notice from the peace deals that Is...

Well, you're an American, right? What else would they say? We'll be in power and we'll not care a shit about you, but keep voting for us. Perhaps that...

It is interesting. I think it was the German authorities that made it. I think Sweden actually stopped the investigations. Which I found quite telling...
August 14, 2024 at 20:26
Again @"Tzeentch" is in his fictional alternative universe. Get your facts straight, man. Why do I bother commenting your absurdities and errors?
August 13, 2024 at 20:37
Is it? Let's take what these "unprecedented sanctions" have just been, from the link you gave us: So, the goal is not to reverse any policy... sounds ...
August 13, 2024 at 20:33
That's a similar conclusion I've made too. Basically when humanity has to adapt to the post-Peak population era with falling populations all over the ...

You do understand that people mean with the far right (just as with the far left) totally different people that others think they are. Bibi knows just...

Students do. This conflict should have been solved when the Cold War ended, but it didn't. The Israeli right and Netanyahu understood that for the US,...

Not at all at this stage. Just look that they aren't from Moscow of St Petersburgh. And the fighting is in Russia. It makes sense from the Ukrainians ...

Now about 39 000 in Gaza have been killed. That's like every 58th person in Gaza. I assume the way is now for the media just to forget it ...and with ...

If the knowledge or insight is worth money, yes. However there's still a lot of academic and scientific studies that people, who have done them, would...
