I cannot give a rigorous answer, but I agree with this. If Tarski's undefinability theorem is basically that "arithmetical truth cannot be defined in ...

With two example, yes, they were victorious, militarily. And if you refer to the original IRA, 1916-1922, that was victorious too, they did get their ...

? ? ? So if Russia you accept that Russia has this propensity to expand, how then view NATO enlargement is this US plot against Russia. More of a ploy...

There's a plethora of violence, vandalism and a lot of emotions. Yet it's still politics. The problem is really that people think their emotional resp...

And just how many persons from 1967 would know many from that list? Somebody not from Georgia surely will have difficulties to know the Georgia State ...

And Palestinians are continuing to fight for independence. But yes, this ought to be obvious that Israel isn't a colonial venture where "the Europeans...

Hey, Israel's doing Gods work! You should be rooting for Israel, or otherwise you want Israel’s destruction and radical Islam to prevail. That's says ...

It's really about influencing the American politicians that think the war can be negotiated to an end by not giving support to Ukraine. So basically P...

I think that everybody here has condemned it. I even made the point that even Hamas admitted to "excesses" happening during Al-Aqsa Flood (October 7th...

Indeed yes. This is basically the Saudi-Iranian conflict that was fought in Yemen, for example. But also in Syria. The Arab nations haven't been ever ...
March 28, 2024 at 07:12
I was referring to the West and especially to the US. To the Middle East, well, it's quite laughable to talk about this being only a temporary setback...
March 27, 2024 at 13:09
It's not so severe as you make it to sound, because once the operation ends and we have some kind of a cease-fire, then the people will forget the iss...

And then a give a repeat of the propaganda given through pro-Israeli glasses: Wonderful. :cheer: Also It's a perfect example of the "shock - anger - r...
March 27, 2024 at 06:46
It just shows how powerful the Israel lobby is in the US. No other ally has this kind of "special treatment", because the Israeli lobby is one of the ...

How's that different from Trump? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUlvCbb2Zzw In fact, if Trump's great achievement, putting his son-in-law Jared to le...
March 26, 2024 at 09:12
Well put. American foreign policy is basically just the President and the White House reacting to events as they happen. That's it. Nothing else. The ...
March 26, 2024 at 08:52
How? And why do you think so?
March 26, 2024 at 08:05
You do understand that in case of the Palestinians, it is an independence movement. You may argue that Hamas has an "anti-Zionist ideology", but natur...
March 26, 2024 at 07:56
Actually I agree with this. It's a very apt way to put how Trump will see his second time: quest for vengeance. He will likely be far more determined,...

Development? After over two years of fighting, the Kremlin has finally come to the conclusion that it's actually fighting a war in Ukraine. Naturally ...

I find this argument weak. What Hamas could do was to breach a wall that had lulled the Netanyahu goverment not to focus on Gaza and Hamas. And basica...

I think we've already had this discussion when it was current. Starting from the fact that if you make an impenetrable border, then you'll move people...
March 21, 2024 at 09:45
Trump couldn't even get the wall built. That's how bad he is. And building just a wall which can be circumvented isn't an answer. But who the fuck car...

Too late? :chin: For what too late? You have to speak Spanish now? (Oh, I forgot, you didn't live in the US or did you?) And I think having a border f...
March 20, 2024 at 14:37
The real hoax is that we should believe what Trump says, in the first place. Just like all the talk about building a wall. :snicker: Or perhaps the US...

I think that Bibi will in the end achieve to get Israel into similar international position what Apartheid South Africa was.
March 20, 2024 at 09:03
And we naturally don't have coverage of the events there. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), 95 journalists have now been killed...
March 20, 2024 at 08:57
Plenty? Prior to the war it was about 500 trucks that brought supplies daily into Gaza, which made the case manageable. It's not 500 trucks daily. I t...

I think Bernie has been in Congress since the 1990's and is so old that he participated as a young man in the civil rights movement. Yet Occupy Wall S...

And this should be noted when these values are excepted by for example by members of the United Nations. Many members aren't Western, don't share simi...

There are reasons for this. Many ideas about America that Americans have have been against it. I agree. This is something that is drilled into the min...

Thanks @"Philosophim"!

One of the basic problems is that there isn't similar case like Ukraine when the West has supported one side in an conflict or had it's own conflicts....
March 13, 2024 at 19:44
Again it is insufficient and illogical to start viewing these conflicts from 2008. Both Abkhazia and Southern Ossetia conflicts had started well befor...

Many things aren't new in the thread. Some want repeat over and over their version of events prior to the war. That we discussed hundreds of pages ago...

At least for Finland, but also for other European countries...yes relatively stably and friendly relationship. Compared to now, of course.
March 13, 2024 at 10:28
And that policy has to start with the real situation. Not the imagined one where everything revolves around the West and it's actions or failures.
March 12, 2024 at 12:43
They went with the annexation of the Golan Heights, but I think the annexation of either Gaza or the West Bank will do quite much damage to the Israel...

Yeah. Now you gave the Chomsky refute. So not much interest in Ukraine, Ukrainian history, Ukrainian people, Putin's fixation in dubious history and t...
