Why? What is ridiculous about it? Annexation of territory is the whole issue. Egypt is fully weaponized and fully armed. And so actually is Jordan, ev...
No! I won't see it! Let me be in my echo-chamber where American politicians seem actually to be quite rational, intelligent and well aware of realitie...
You simply cannot deny that the occupied/occupier issue does matter here. It is imbalanced, because one being the occupier and the other side being th...
Well, what has going along with the peace plan given to the people in the West Bank, the apartheid system continues, there new settlements are built. ...
Well, that's for the temporary truce then and back to bombing Gaza. Interesting to note if in the US this will cause more critique or not in the democ...
That is putting it mildly. :grin: And of course the French aren't ashamed of Napoleon: the remains of the guy are in a temple like mausoleum surrounde...
Or simply that the armed forces are an organization where future hypothetical plans have great importance. In every army there are multitude of office...
Uh, could be! :yikes: Well, this painting surely is about the Russian campaign. With Cossacks and snow and all. https://napoleon1812.files.wordpress.c...
So has your hospital learnt as an organization something when the next lethal pandemic hits? I fear that health care sector is usually just barely cop...
I agree with this. Yet perhaps in the end it's a generalization with what we don't make more sense of the World, it simply isn't so useful. "It's all ...
Isn't that the official line: a two state solution always in the future perhaps, but not now? Perhaps we can have the two-state solution, if Hamas wou...
:smile: (Well, you did notice that I'm cynical.) On the other hand, here's a clear headed interview of Ami Ayalon, who is one of the former Shin Bet d...
What would be good now is to have a frank 'lessons learned' study of this pandemic for the next pandemic. Unfortunately that may be or become too poli...
First contraceptive pills came to the market in 1960. That was a medical advance that had an impact of it's own, even if other societal changes did ma...
In our societies and in human history war and the military aren't just simple acts or actors of violence. I think there's this very naive idea that wa...
I'm not so sure about this. Even if nearly 7 million deaths is a lot. You see, even if covid would be as deadly as spanish flu, medicine has improved ...
An inconsistency when your actual policy is to revenge a large terrorist attack, yet you want to have nothing to do with giving real independence/auto...
Breaking News: IDF won't bomb the women and babies next-door tomorrow. What exemplars of humanitarianism. And more anti-zionist propaganda from the ev...
The longer this 'pause' continues, the more flak Bibi will get when he restarts it. Especially if there still are kidnapped Israelis to be exchanged. ...
No, it's simply that the Kremlin simply didn't understand how things have changed from seven years ago. In 2016 emigrants coming to Finland got the co...
Do remember that this is just a very temporary truce. So temporary, that the EU and the UN quarreled for long which words they could use: ceasefire / ...
Why did they write in the article about 'artificially' raising oil demand? What's artificial in that you promote what your country can provide? Anyway...
Just to put things into scale, the war in Gaza has now killed more Palestinians than were killed in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. In the scale of the 80-...
In my view Wheeler and especially the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics are the pinnacle of (logical) positivism. Hence we have these mod...
Lol. Funny video, made it quite clear what they want. It's the typical mischief Russia will do. We are used to it, they do it all the time. A Great Po...
Perhaps too clearly stating your "pro-Russia party" credentials there, tovarich! Yeah, why didn't my country and my grandparents generation accept the...
Showing your ignorance again, Tzeentch. Well, if Sweden was firmly non-aligned would mean that the situation in the Baltic Sea would be very different...
Response starting like this is quite irrelevant. Besides, there are already NATO countries that oppose Ukrainian membership in the organization. So th...
A good reminder that the West isn't the US. In fact, Finland has gotten it's share of flak by earlier deciding to get an air defense system from Israe...
Thanks! A great documentary. Yes, usually the generals and the intelligence officers tell the truth ...afterwards when retired. Naturally when in serv...
And the most obvious part is what Russia actually has done: annexed territories it has deemed to be an integral part of Russia. As said many times aga...
Or our lost Karelia. Nobody ever has thought that it could be gotten back and Finns even wouldn't like it back: it has now a Russian population that h...
This is true. And of course one thing no other administration had yet done. Comes to mind the irony when the US got Morocco to normalize relations wit...
At least here there is a test drive, which you have to pass. So yes, the authority can stop you from getting the license of you don't pass it. If you ...
As I've thought about it, this happens actually mainly for purely domestic political reasons. To put it bluntly, it isn't the 7 million Jewish America...
More proper would be to say "was extremely controversial" and "there were large groups". But of course, that the attacked unified Ukraine naturally is...
Yet the obvious answer here is: using force to annex territories is against international law in both cases! It's the US that has a moral dilemma here...
I do apologize for this, but just to note that it is totalitarian societies that would do this kind of licensing or have licenses for reproduction. An...
And how many own kitchen knives and have accidents with them, compared to adults that harm other people? But the issue is here the licensing, the segr...
As a response to Russia's hybrid attack on Finland with sending and assisting refugees to the border, the opposition leader Lindtman proposed aiding U...
Also it's worth mentioning that the biggest taboo in a democracy is politicians killing each other to gain power. If it happens, if you get leaders th...
Yes. As the quote you made yourself says: "Ukraine pursued a non-alignment policy, which it terminated in response to Russia’s aggression." Do you und...
Using artillery and going in house-by-house first by robots and dogs and taking the time will lower substantially the losses. Speed and rapid overtaki...
Seems like levelling Gaza has been achieved in the northern part (Gaza City), literally. https://gfx-data.news-engineering.aws.wapo.pub/ai2html/cumula...
I would say that those individuals who have started new monotheist religions have done huge societal change. We don't have this mush of having many go...
What President wouldn't have been disappointed after the Bay of Pigs disaster? Yet here I wouldn't go all 'Oliver Stone' and make the dichotomy of the...
