And actually on purpose. Israeli anti-missile systems are top of the line (not only Iron Dome, but Arrow and David's Sling), hence the way simply is t...
Better to call it a family of different kinds of rockets. Qassam is just one specific rocket, one little one. Qassam-A I think is bigger. There are ot...
It has been 319 years under British rule. Yet above all, the treaty of Utrecht signed it to the crown of Great Britain for "perpetuity" in 1714. And t...
Well, what you forgot is his brilliant achievements on the foreign policy aside. - The surrender of Afghanistan to the Taliban in the Doha Agreement (...
Aparently an elder women of a family, being paraded in a golf cart. See video below, 2:48 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-IcHdMjRDQ Yes, but in all ...
No, no no! It doesn't go like that. The Western world either doesn't want to recognize the sovereignty of Spain over Gibraltar or the sovereingty of M...
I guess being partisan is the trend now. So Trump is young??? Anyway, it's actually the problem of parties that they don't have good people in the win...
Just to give perspective, during the Yom Kippur war Israel lost 2800 dead, Egypt 5000 to 15000 and Syria about 3000 dead. That is a pale comparison to...
I don't think that this powder keg will blow out in one huge fireball, it will just continue to rattle and fizz and produce a lot of smoke for a while...
Yet before this it had already attacked Ukraine and annexed territory and fought a war against Ukraine. Whenever the proxy fighters were losing, Russi...
And as @"Manuel" two years ago at the OP of this thread stated: "Here we go again". No need for a new thread about the issue. Seems like the Palestini...
The conflict itself is part of one's identity for many. That's the problem. It's like for a Palestinian living somewhere else than Palestine or Israel...
There are political ones. And in war, one side can win the other. It's a very effective way to end the problematic situation. Actually, we saw on prob...
Does the Irish government it really want to deal with the Ulster Loyalists? Protestants are still majority in Northern Ireland and the country is stil...
I agree with you. The way it's going I really think they will let the US have a default. The theatre has perhaps been played so many times that some p...
My proposal to North Ireland would be the following: 1) UK grants North Ireland independence 2) Ireland recognizes the independence of North Ireland. ...
The separation of Catalunya (or Scotland from the UK) are different: it would be if Tatarstan would now want independence from Russia. And actually we...
And there you have it. Perhaps you would defend Ceuta and Melilla, if Morocco tried to use force, but otherwise I guess any effort to "take back Cuba"...
They are decentralized. Only some of them go bankrupt or out of business, but not all. And if you have modern markets, an oligopoly of the large compa...
I would disagree with this. Spanish identity isn't imperial anymore. You don't think the Netherlands is essential of your country. Or Mexico or Cuba. ...
The basic problem simply is that there are no natural boundaries where Russia starts or ends as you have this huge steppe starting from Europe and end...
Do notice the difference! As did my country also belong to Russia. Until it didn't, when we gained independence. Just like Ukraine got it's independen...
At least I like Russian cuisine very much. It's there with the French cuisine as the hallmark of Western food culture (and I think is even better than...
CCP is quite alive and kicking. Yet in the Chinese example one has to remember what they have experienced: The "Great Leap Forward", which ended in ma...
The Chinese Communist Party does believe it is really doing Marxism. Xi Jingping has said: "We should review the fresh experience gained by the people...
Sorry that I respond quite late, have had much work. And what kind of peace do you think Russia will opt for? Are we told that, actually by the Ukrain...
There's the technological innovation and then there's the innovation to use the technology in various ways. If the net would be a) just a military app...
You mean NATO assistance has to traverse 1000 km to supply the front in Ukraine or what? Well, it's their country so that isn't a big problem. Otherwi...
A government official can be also apolitical meaning that he or she simply tries to avoid any politics and simply goes with what the current elected p...
Hello Boethius, back on the job? Ah, the Great almighty Russian armed forces! Well, what I remember was that the "clear arguments" were for the Ukrain...
Oh, well that is then quite fascinating! Then you understand how stupid the whole idea of Ukraine somehow making a breakthrough to Melitopol or even t...
It's not a buzzword. I gather you have no military training and little knowledge of warfare, tactics or military history in general. All I'm saying th...
It's a materiel battle, Tzeentch. And the forces that are put into not such huge, actually. Keeping the initiative is crucial. If you think that givin...
Why do you assume Ukrainian operations to be "ill-advised"? If you don't have air superiority and Russia still has a lot of artillery, large scale att...
Seems you are eager to jump to conclusions, especially to the failure of Ukrainian actions. Yet I don't think the will of the Ukrainians to continue t...
Poland will stop giving arms to Ukraine as the two countries have a disagreement over grain. Polish farmers fear what cheap Ukrainian grain will do to...
The Russian offensive? Well, that was only the small advances that Wagner made. Nothing else. :wink: And the Ukrainian counter-offensive? Going as any...
But military doesn't make it a product for the civilian market. And this is crucial: as I stated, Xerox research center made basically all the real le...
And when have you had totally new industries? They are quite rare. For example, what's the origin of the internet? A common Transfer Control Protocol/...
Do people still read economic history? Nonsense!!! How about the... a) Aviation industry? https://live.staticflickr.com/727/23520226870_76d0a8a18a_b.j...
Let's put aside for a moment the whining that government and corporations are against trade unions (which in the US they are) and look at more fundame...
Answering the OP, the fundamental issue from Ancient philosophy is exactly to read Parmenides by Plato. I think you would have to refer to that one. A...
