The whole system is based upon the rational judgement of the electorate. If the electorate votes "wrong", there's nothing much to do then. It's not th...
Who would be above the law? Almighty God? What do have atheists to say about that? Without opening any American legal prints I'm sure that there isn't...
I think it's the sheer hostility that some of these media atheists have gotten have made them very aggressive. It's not only 9/11 and what basically c...
At least if it would be Saudi-Arabia, then yes. Even Trump would defend the Saudi oil fields. And btw this was the major threat that the annexation of...
The likely reason is just why Kuwait wasn't going to be let to be annexed by Iraq. This would change dramatically the power balance even globally. Do ...
But they had a significant role in making the region as it is now. Isn't that a bit too much assume that kind of Mearsheimerian realpolitik? Asia has ...
Indeed. After a brief interlude, state actors and lobby groups have adapted perfectly to mold propaganda and censorship to the new media of the net an...
Well...it would go back to the British Empire, actually. And anyway, I'm not exited about calling various states as "artificial". Putin uses rhetoric ...
Now this is something worth debating. Even if they are tiny, they aren't "really worth mentioning". On the contrary. Only Kuwait and the "Switzerland ...
Especially with the case of Israel, I would beg to differ. The Israeli lobby is very powerful, you could read Mearsheimer's book about it, but this sh...
I admit he's been a critique of Israel. But he mainly focuses on US actions because of the reasons he has given. That's simply a fact. He says it all ...
This is a bipartisan cause. And it's not simply the 7 million Jewish-American votes (of whom many don't like the present right-wing government in Isra...
It actually shows just how much we truly value things like "freedom of speech". It's very sad. What was hilarious was the Jewish person that was arres...
You got the answer today. Anyway, as Israel did attack the embassy, it's likely that the Netanyahu government did want to escalate this to Iran, as it...
A certain kind of equality, identity is an equation that us true for all values of its variables. An equation might be true for some variables, like x...
For starters, I think the whole monetary system will sooner or later collapse. But that later can be in 10, perhaps even 50 years. And if it happens i...
It's in the Lounge. It was deemed not Philosophical enough, or just math. Or lousy math. :yikes: The reason is that the Ukraine crisis thread and the ...
Ok, Even if the discussion has moved on, I'll just point out this, what identity in math is and why math does deal with identity: or in an other way: ...
And this just undermines also the idea that all Arab countries are just waiting to get the chance to kill all the Jews and/or push them into the sea. ...
Set theoretic axioms can be difficult to anyone, so let's think about this. What do you think identity in mathematics / set theory is? So the axiom ex...
And this just shows how difficult it is to get a negotiated peace in the Middle East. Why not would they? They still need to have relations with Europ...
Indeed. At least academic professors in the West can act like "dissidents" because they have a tenure and there is an Overton window for free speech. ...
Well, just look at the discussion of some here in PF about a) The Isreali Palestinians conflict or heck, even about the US Elections / Trump / Biden. ...

It is perplexing. Yet the name of the first political book of the linguist, The Responsibility of Intellectuals, tells it all. Chomsky and others see ...
Then educate me. :confused: So? Hence when it's only Superpower and so superior in everything, why was it then defeated by the Taleban, the same Taleb...
All those interventions, including the theoretical ones aren't fairly simple. All are quite unique. And so are the "interventions". Giving just weapon...
Isreal got it's ironclad support automatically from Joe Biden. I think they will continue with the Rafah operation when the time comes. For both Israe...
Yet you are not a soldier and not even in the region. But on the other hadn, even before Oct 7th, from 2016: So firm public support for ethnic cleansi...
An interesting development: What is Jordan's role in this? Naturally shooting down armed drones flying in your airspace is totally legitimate thing to...
Ah, that is a really fine line in the sand. Because nobody will say that they are trying "terror boming" as a tactic. And it all comes down to targeti...

So what? What do you have against K-Pop? Of having South Korean electronic gadgets and cars? Of them being wealthy and not on the verge of famine? Is ...
And what do you think the German people fealt about the Nazis themselves in 1945? How much had the Gauleiters and the Nazi party taken care of them wh...
OK! Thank you. :up: The real question, which I do think is important, is how much Ukraine could trust Putin after Minsk I-III? Would Putin simply enla...
And they have here the agency. We are just giving them support. What's so wrong with that. They can call it quits and there's nothing that the West ca...
