...and then continued the open air prison of Gaza by closing the land and sea borders and had the occasional bombing of the place. That just now has h...
When Japan tried to wipe off and sink whole Pacific fleet of the US, invaded the Phillipines (then a colony of the US) and Guam and Aleutian Islands o...
EU is basically a confederacy of sovereign states, so wtf with it being "undemocratic"? My country is democratic and I don't wish any intergovernmenta...
I cannot find the book now, but luckily you have made it easy to reply further: Perfect example of your faulty argumentation. As you can notice, Brzez...
No, if you say person, be it Brzezinski or Mersheimer says something, then they really have to say that. Not something similar. Learn to use quotes. O...
I think the reason is that they formed a country called Israel and usually the citizens of that country are refered to being Israelis. The Jewish home...
From those I've read the Grand Chessboard and even if Brzezinksi can be quite accurately be seen as proof of the evil intentions the US has for Russia...
Nonsense, actually they can. And the US showed this during the Cold War. And just how? Well, they asked first: -IF we do X, how is the Soviet Union go...
I think the real problem was that many countries thought after the collapse of the Soviet Union that Russia a) would never get on it's feet and b) nev...
? Quite incredible idea. This goes into the tinfoil hat category. This is the kind of anti-US bullshit that won't fly, if you don't even give any kind...
No. They are not. You cannot reproduce with reptiles being a human. But with Americans you can. :wink: NATO has shown it again and again that there is...
Why? What's the logic of breaking up the Atlantic relations, which is the primary objective for Russia? Russia is far more powerful than any European ...
I think there might be a change happening in the US, but these things take time. Views for example here show well that there is a large support for US...
Well, compared to putting down the Warsaw Uprising, a battle that took 64 days with a city with less people and which ended up with 15 000 dead fighte...
At least there's something we agree on. And my criticism is on the way Israel is currently handling it's security concerns. Yes, it has to handle them...
When enough people are killed in the first place, we don't care about our laws we have been so proud of. That's the frightening part. It is all about ...
That there's non-euclidian geometry was actually rather easy to understand because it's so useful for instance when mapping the World. I think the rea...
Actually, I think all the problems and confusions we have in math starts from what you mentioned. Math for humans, and I would dare to say for animals...
Actually stop there as this is a very good point. Because naturally for Putin it's allways about security concerns (even if he cannot stop blabbing ab...
Quite similar to the Israeli view. Likely even more demonizing than the Israeli far right. Somewhat confusing statement there. Let's take a theoretica...
This is by his supporters seen as part of his genius. Because it (or the weapons race in general) was really ruinous for the Soviets. Even if btw. the...
Simply go and fight like how the US armed forces did, when they destroyed Al Qaeda in Iraq. Understand that you have to give a reason for the civilian...
And it simply doesn't mean that mathematics is culturally relative. It's about education of mathematics, not about math itself. Why is this so difficu...
AND THIS IS MY POINT! It's about K-12 education. It's not about mathematics itself, or math being racist or about 2+2=5. It's about minority students ...
I think it is representative. It is a simple question about geography, something we cannot do anything about. The question of defense is in politics e...
Sorry, but I'm an old reserve officer... so I would fight and die for my country if needed. I cannot know what I would be as a Palestinian, but likely...
Put it short: you argue and even make the case that it's dodgy education of mathematics. But then it's about education policy, not math itself. That's...
The mirror that we look through and observe reality is built on logic. Thus we shouldn't be surprised that things we see are then logical. And when th...
It doesn't look good for the Ukrainians. Russians are slowly getting the initiative. Although Ukraine likely isn't going to collapse. But likely this ...
Because what is offered to the Palestinians by the current Israeli government is to move away, to Sinai or Jordan, or somewhere else. That's basically...
Where? An WSJ article? So someone really has the problem with actual arithmetic? If you provide "plain proof", the just give the reference...even if t...
You surely can get a clueless person that has only been taught something what you would call 'post-modernist' to say something incredibly stupid. That...
Exactly, do not make the mistake that people engaged with the "culture war" make here. As I was saying, the objectives of social sciences when approac...
Yes, there surely are those who are tired about Netanyahu and question how October 7th was possible. Yet the response isn't so much criticized by Isra...
I think it would be better to ask what postmodernism has to say about the sciences in general, not narrowing down to math. What does postmodernism say...
As already pointed out, Valentines Day is more about couples and children having friends. Especially for young girls Valentines Day is important. For ...
Isreal and Bibi react. Then think about tomorrow. 'The distant future' is not on their minds. And note, IDF cannot surely beat the movement called Ham...
Are they in a worse condition? I don't think Bibi thinks at all like that. Remember that 2006 war, which lasted for 34 days, happened because a cross ...
The question you should ask: Will Bibi be OK with a hundred thousand or more Israelis having fled their homes in the North and now having live somewhe...
Has it been peaceful in Southern Lebanon? I don't think so. https://static.timesofisrael.com/www/uploads/2024/02/F240208AMA07-640x400.jpg I still hold...
I think it's right. But anyway, even the notion of reals would go against this argument that mathematical objects "cannot be carried out, cannot be co...
Why would Russia be nuked by North Korea???? Would the US be nuked by the UK or France? I don't think so. North Korea has just given a massive assista...
No, you are making a mistake. I suggest you to read an elementary school book on set theory. There indeed are infinite sets and there can be a bijecti...
Yes, why should we care about international law, war crimes, equal rights and humanitarian concerns? All meaningless mystification! Why would we care ...
Good insert that according to Putin. Because when you look at modern surface to air missile development, the longer range systems are all basically de...
Nonsensical? Seems you confusing ideas about set theory. Or ignorance about the subject. Set theory is part of mathematics, but of course you can be w...
What???? Isn't there a bijection between the set of natural numbers and the set of natural numbers? If so, Isn't there also a bijection between the se...
