If 60% is high, then OK. Of course, there's still time to go.

Hamas isn't the Palestine state, just like Hezbollah isn't Lebanon.
January 20, 2024 at 08:31
:smile: Perhaps compared to Joe Biden, yes. Trump is at least energetic when talking about himself. And anyway, usually American debates between candi...
January 20, 2024 at 08:23
So Trump isn't going into debates, which is a wise choice. And now Nikki isn't either, because Trump isn't. Yes, why on Earth would you have candidate...
January 19, 2024 at 22:28
Official US views it so. Bi-partisan support! And with that, in the tow many other Western countries issue something like that or then simply want to ...
January 19, 2024 at 22:06
That is the way the US views this. So no wonder Bibi is extremely confident that his military operation will go through and achieve it's objectives.
January 19, 2024 at 21:35
Incorrect. Let's start with the most obvious: Syria and Israel has never signed a peace-agreement, thus Syria hasn't OK'd the annexation of the Golan ...
January 19, 2024 at 21:31
Well, Ukraine is preparing it's own defensive lines, so the likely outcome is a war like the Iran - Iraq war: a kind of WW1 stalement, until one or th...

Basically Trumpism saved in a way the Republican party: it reinforced the idea that somehow the two political parties themselves can be changed throug...
January 19, 2024 at 13:02
Don't envy the Americans when they are having to choose between Trump and Biden... and an option of a middle finger vote with voting somebody else. We...

...and then has the occupied territories, where non-Jewish people are have different laws (military law) to the Jewish people there. In addition to th...
January 19, 2024 at 05:38
Nonsense. What Ukraine lacked is simply the political will. If a dirt-poor North Korea can create a nuclear deterrent, obviously Ukraine could have do...

Latest polls on the general election: Biden 44% Trump 43% (yougove, 10th Jan) Biden 41% Trump 43% (morning consult, 14th Jan) Biden 37% Trump 45% (The...

Indeed, they don't bomb the West Bank as much as Gaza. But if we just look at Gaza, it's another thing. Have you looked at the amounts of bombs used a...
January 18, 2024 at 11:09
Indeed. It's not complicated. It's simply hard if not impossible to peacefully solve. Partly (and only partly) because of the West.
January 17, 2024 at 17:54
How bad was it for Ukraine to hand over the nuclear deterrent to Russia? And believe that Russia would keep up it's promises made several times? John ...
January 17, 2024 at 13:46
That's the biggest outcry now, that why nobody thought of that in the first place. I assume with less than 100 million or even less you could have mad...
January 16, 2024 at 15:23
That is the problem. Hence you can have people working in science who say they don't care at all about philosophy.
January 16, 2024 at 12:44
If it's highly theoretical physics, then it might be so. But what works, it usually has some hang of the model. Yes, that might not be correct in gene...
January 16, 2024 at 11:52
More easy to say it than for Germans actually to do it! For example, what is the most costly naval vessel that the German navy has? What has been the ...
January 16, 2024 at 11:47
A very good OP. You present those obstacles that are present. In short, the "computers" should start from having DNA as their building blocks or what?...
January 16, 2024 at 11:36
Well, if Trump goes really with what he possibly said, then we'll get in no time this debate to start in earnest.
January 16, 2024 at 11:16
If something is very useful or practical in Physics, then I assume the math to be sound.
January 16, 2024 at 11:12
I agree. Military people can understand escalation. The public doesn't. Indeed, the politicians are more afraid than the military. And this is why act...
January 15, 2024 at 22:09
Depends on just what UK does. Yes, it's likely that if the US under Trump really would leave NATO, then I guess UK would be the first in line to make ...
January 15, 2024 at 21:58
What's wrong with the UK? They are good fighters and they have a great armed forces. Also, they are still committed to European safety, even if they a...
January 15, 2024 at 13:04
So does the UK, which is still taking part in the defence cooperation. But good questions, @"Benkei". The membership of one Superpower would make it m...
January 15, 2024 at 12:59
That's one important factor, actually. Usually if we have something in math, it can be used well to model reality for example in physics. For me it te...
January 15, 2024 at 12:26
That's true, but the union is a de facto confederacy: it is created from independent states, who actually are still quite independent. Furthermore, Ce...
January 15, 2024 at 12:10
How is it an undemocratic abomination? Just what do you think is the EU? Who do you think it's leaders are? Who sent Tusk? I think in Poland it was th...
January 14, 2024 at 20:45
The Nordics do cooperate very well. However, in security policy there's always the problem that in the end, "going alone/opting out" can be beneficial...
January 14, 2024 at 20:35
I agree with this. Yet that credible deterrent can be viewed always by the Kremlin as a threat that is out to get them. It needs an enemy to justify i...
January 14, 2024 at 19:45
As others have said here, time really seem to be changing. Far away are the times when a tiny Israel faced a collection of Arab country armed to teeth...
January 14, 2024 at 19:21
Yes, there limits etc. And then infinity as an axiom. Yet if there's a Continuum Hypothesis, we clearly don't understand everything about infinity. Be...
January 14, 2024 at 19:13
Do not overestimate the changes here. For example in Finland we have had municipalities and districts put together and made larger, but the changes to...
January 14, 2024 at 11:44
YES! But sorry. I'm an European, I know these people. The EU is the best we can make. Non-US NATO would be a shadow of the former organization. Or if ...
January 12, 2024 at 19:55
Actually, the US has far too many states. Put them together. - First of all, fuck Washington DC. That the Capitol is so "important" is pure bullshit. ...
January 12, 2024 at 19:51
Well, I think that there's something to Cantor's absolute infinity, and I've had splendid discussion about the topic here. And I've not been ban yet. ...
January 12, 2024 at 19:32
Just as with the left, the noisiest (and usually most stupid) prevail in the media and are eagerly picked to be the true representatives by the other ...
January 12, 2024 at 19:28
That's extremely tiny light, yet I think the coverage simply can move attitudes and bring change in the long run. Of course the most adamant defender ...
January 12, 2024 at 19:20
Exactly. It's a war that will continue until there's a two state solution.
January 12, 2024 at 19:08
At least, the Baltic States will feel the pressure. And let's have the facts: 1. Russian armed forces are superior to any European country. Hence Russ...
January 12, 2024 at 19:03
Qatar is one of biggest helpers of Hamas... that's why the relationship. So you prefer that other countries assist Hamas too??? And Israel has a nucle...
January 12, 2024 at 14:40
It's not happening. France is doing it's own thing, EU isn't at all contacted, other countries (like India) are not taken into account. And this just ...
January 12, 2024 at 14:36
Note one thing missing here: This shows how incompetent the Biden administration, and US diplomacy in general, has become and how the US isn't able to...
January 12, 2024 at 09:02
Lebanon cannot do anything, I assume you are talking about Hezbollah. Two different actors, actually, even if in the same country. One thing is that t...
January 11, 2024 at 15:51
Do you have trouble looking from their viewpoint on the whole issue? Schops, how would you feel if the US politicians would argue that your country is...
January 11, 2024 at 15:38
Yet still it's working: the Ivy League presidents resign, the allies of the US are mute as they don't want to oppose such a dear issue for the Superpo...
January 11, 2024 at 15:14
Well, what is sure to happen is that any movement that gains power, will likely be called (rightly or wrongly) fascist. Because calling the other side...
January 11, 2024 at 14:57
And likely total silence from the mainstream media... especially in the US. Or just a sidenote. For example (just now) from CNN: For example any links...
