A very good comment. Especially with the assassination of JFK, there is this underlying idea that if JFK wouldn't have been assassinated, then everyth...
This is a thread of 532 pages, so yes, that was said. And I won't bother to find the direct quote as you continue yourself: :grin: Rest my case, tovar...
Of course. And if it brought up, the "peace-party" immediately tells us that Crimea has been part of Russia, only given away as a birthday present ins...
Yes. Here history shows clearly that social science aren't anything remotely like natural sciences. Decisions in the end of few important people do ma...
Yes. 60s counterculture was far more than just only in America, mind you, hence one political assassination in one country in the West hasn't that kin...
So now we have a pause. Hopefully the four days will be used so that the offensive won't restart and continue for another 8 weeks. At least the sides ...
Why the urge talk about licences? Or the need to approach this question with licenses? Many people should have licences for nearly everything, startin...
Except when American crave for and desire so old politicians to lead them, these people can all of a sudden die or get hospitalized. Yet it has to be ...
Sovereign countries can apply freely to international organizations. When btw Russia started to make demands just who can and cannot join NATO was whe...
At least for now Hezbollah and Iran has been out of the conflict... apart a few rockets. There's two ways to look at this. On the other side, one coul...
There are and have been many Finnish volunteers in Ukraine, yes. They have gotten actually a quite positive welcome back here in Finland. Naturally th...
Even a 'moderate Palestinian state', if by meaning that democratic elections are held and political opposition isn't persecuted, I guess there's much ...
And how many Americans were repopulated to live in Germany? Did the American President declare that now Germany (or Japan) are part of the US? And how...
What would be the "moderate state" here when Israel is building new settlements in the West Bank, has an Apartheid system of different laws and has ba...
Rather strange view on police actions. At least the Israelis themselves are far more honest than you and call it a war. So how to fight? I would say t...
I think that is quite true. Hamas isn't ISIS or just a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in general: their objectives are to fight the Israeli occupati...
You do understand that there's a conflict between the Palestinians and Israel? There's just the Palestinian Authority. But basically it's quite sideli...
Israel wanted to erase PLO from operating from Lebanon. That was the "funsies" you asked about. PLO is no not firing rockets or terrorist attacks from...
If I say extremists take over, what I mean is that they do take over because they are popular. And because "appeasement" of trying to form a peace dea...
More than your personal doubt, please give some reason why wouldn't this be the case? Yes, the hadn't make extensive preparations that your normal sat...
Or because Netanyahu had himself a role to play in the derailment of the peace-process, as Bibi himself has bragged about: https://www.facebook.com/wa...
Unfortunately this won't be an issue in the election, even if it actually should be. Who would raise a subject where both Biden and Trump are the culp...
Finland closed four of the major border crossings to Russia as a response to a hybrid attack. When you had, out of the blue, after decades without it ...
Uhh... exaclty when? 2014? Earlier? Sorry, but the West was totally surprised with it's pants down when Russia annexed Crimea. Remember, then the Inte...
And what would be the reason for Israel to support a two state solution in the first place? How would anybody expect Israel to do anything that would ...
I agree. And the rich Gulf states with their tiny citizenry have their own milder version of Apartheid namely in the form of permanent migrant workers...
I would say that the Americans were better guys than the Soviets! They stayed in Afghanistan far longer, yet killed far less people! :grin: And now Af...
In the end, it makes as much sense as Bibi supporting Hamas! I think the former Israeli prime minister Ehdu Olmert makes this clear quite well: But if...
I think the Taleban was of Pakistani origin, not the US. And uh, yeah, the Pakistanis holding on to the Taleban and being an ally (somehow) of the US ...
Any reasonable person would think so too, but as I've said, extremists have taken over there. They will continue to dehumanize the "enemy" and basical...
You or someone else might push this "oppressor/oppressed" and think there's some moral competition going around here of blameless underdogs and justif...
Hold it there. But that is the reality in the framework here. Israel conquered Gaza and West Bank in 1967. Palestinians there are under occupation: th...
For a long time the Prime Ministers of Likud have wanted simply to push the Palestinians somewhere else: Ariel Sharon, another minister has followed t...
Of course, @"boethius" knows, but people for example in the White House had "zero clue". :roll: and onwards... Hence you are simply wrong in saying th...
Uhh... wouldn't be it according to your logic, that we lack our salt? https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/white-salt-royalty-free-image-848612...
This is true. As @"Punshhh" remarked, the media coverage of the US media is quite one sided and pro-Israel, but things like who were the majority of t...
I think the total destruction of Ukraine is out of the question now. That Ukraine would defend itself like this wasn't before anticipated, after all t...
This all is so true. Yet there are many ex-US Presidents that the media simply doesn't listen to when it comes to them saying something critical about...
You take anything negative about the Russian invasion with a grain of salt. Perhaps too much salt for your health? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14g...
Why not have them all as allies? No? The proper way would be to act similarly as with Greece and Turkey, which both are in NATO and both have huge dis...
Stephen Ambrose recalls that in mainland Europe the American GI felt most at home in Germany. When you think that many white Americans do have their r...
REALLY? Uh, when they (Saudi Arabia and Egypt) are already US allies, what here would be the blow back? That mainly Saudi terrorists made the worst te...
And simply that the society works at least somehow. The economy has to work in some way. Politicians can be incompetent, that can be, but not criminal...
Nonsense. For example, the Russians deployed the 1st Guards Tank Army to take Kharkiv. It didn't take Kharkiv. According to you that also might been a...
Yes, who wouldn't be ignorant about some Arab raiders? Islam rose only because both large powers were very weak at that time. In fact, the Roman emper...
First and foremost, the battle for Kyiv wasn't some kind of fake attack. Yet the fall of Ukraine didn't happened and Putin (correctly) then withdraw. ...
