Lol, no. Neither do the Swedes. Interestingly Finns do have a quite different view about their state and government that the Americans. We are just ha...
Yes, that is totally true. Especially when you are talking about Russia. Anything can still happen. But usually failed wars don't bolster jingoism and...
Many times people aren't asked who leads them and try to stay away from the dangerous mess that is politics. If your country is a failed state, the bi...
Well, I can think of Vietnam (earlier North Vietnam), which after Ho Chi Minh hasn't had a similar father figure, but something like 14 different pres...
And you and me likely aren't alone. Which I think puts this to a more correct perspective: everything that theoretically could be replaced by AI, won'...
What history has told us with the failure and abolution of NATO's sister organizations, CENTO and SEATO, the real cause is not having any common objec...
Think about it when it's your money, debts, financial investments, something quite important to you. Imagine your bank has no people that you can talk...
Excellent documentary! The obvious philosophical problem is that the simple AI hasn't actual artificial intelligence, cannot understand the context of...
What the real and present danger is the following. Company CEO's and organization leaders have a "revolutionary" idea: Let's replace ALL customer serv...
The problem with animal farm, as with marxism, is that there simply aren't any of those safety valves that you have in a democracy and in a justice st...
People have inherently different objectives, agenda and ideas of how things work and what ought to be done. Yet the modern society gives those in powe...
You blame Ukraine for this war. You justify the annexation by force of the Crimean peninsula (last example ). You oppose definitions of words in the d...
It's quite futile to argue with a person that totally declines to see the objectives of Russia in this war. (The actual ones declared by Putin himself...
A totally crazy idea. China hasn't attacked anyone since 1979, and then it was it's former ally Vietnam. Before that China fought with the Soviet Unio...
Supporting Ukraine would be productive: Russia has made many times true progress after having disastrous defeats in wars that it has itself started. -...
Isaac has serious difficulties in understanding definitions of English. He doesn't accept the definition of "imperialism" in Merriam-Webster dictionar...
Oooh... the omnipotent American President and the godly powers that he has to fix things in the World. Or create every problem there is or has been. R...
Please inform us what blame the Ukrainians have / the country of Ukraine has for this war. The one "blame" I can think of is being so naive to give it...
When your argument is weak, that is something that you have to do. Comes very well to mind how on this thread people believed Putin and laughed at Ame...
I seriously don't consider you taking anything seriously. But I put the articles and links for others to look and make their mind, if they are interes...
I just started to answer to your overall question: But very well then, if you specifically want to about the coup 2022 attempt: Of course, this coup a...
Ownership is an agreement between humans that in part makes our society work. But of course you can teach for example your pet that what's yours it ha...
Lol! :rofl: Are you serious? Do you have any remote idea of Ukrainian post-Soviet history? You really think Russia hasn't meddled in Ukrainian politic...
Tzeentch keeps desperately trying to argue this, which just shows his total lack of understanding just how deep Russian influence operations in Ukrain...
Earlier it was the idea that the studios have the "blockbusters" and then you can dare to have something interesting on a "smaller" budget. Best cast?...
EU membership and Austria-style neutrality could have been a great option... prior to February 24th 2022. Now Russia simply can repeat the Russo-Japan...
Yes. Back then as Russia hadn't gone on an all-out conventional attack, worries about escalation were obvious... I remember especially the Obama admin...
And how many troops did it take to grab Crimea? Then the admiral charge of the Ukrainian navy joined the Russian fleet as an admiral, so the idea of t...
China is correct to keep it's distance from Russia. In fact for China to get closer to Russia just then alienates European countries and pushes them t...
Stop referring to Mearsheimer when he says something about Russia being a potential threat to Ukraine in the 1990's. Mearsheimer can be only quoted or...
You cannot debate people who reject that a) Russia has had long standing objectives and an agenda towards Ukraine and b) Ukrainians themselves are act...
Not surprising. And for Hersh to be commenting something that nobody else comments isn't the first time, actually. I remember Hersh was one of the onl...
Which is even more confusing as you don't make sense. Putin wrote that article far before the special military operation, the "artificiality" of Ukrai...
Exactly. Just selling arms to a participant in a war doesn't make the seller of these arms to have a proxy war against the other side in the conflict....
Lol. What other interpretation? So Russia has annexed territories from Ukraine starting from Crimea onwards. So tell me, how is this just an interpret...
Yep, that is what game theory says. I pick number 10. As @"Agent Smith" didn't choose a number, it's a bit one sided as there are so few players. If w...
Which is hilarious. Yes, Putin has mentioned also NATO, but the reasons which he has given for the "special military operation" and the actions of ann...
Another example, which shows what I'm talking about is the following game (which I learnt in economics class in the university), which we could even t...
This is a classic example of a simple game when done with people has far more to it that simple math would apply. The obvous place where it went wrong...
I think that "opinion" is quite well shown from the actions and the reasons given to those actions by the leaders of Russia. Putin's article Article b...
You are either forgetting or simply denying (which is likely) that these "vital interests" meant also obtaining territories from Ukraine and Ukraine t...
We here don't have that problem with our politicians, they aren't corrupt, people feel they are simply just incompetent (in what democracy people woul...
I think you shouldn't overestimate this. First of all, even if they were the eurosceptics right from the start in the Conservative Party (starting wit...
How is joining (and then exiting) the European Union the last gasp of Colonial sentimentality I don't understand. But you are right that during Elizab...
But the reasons, arguments and agenda of the politicians and the military are. And simply sidelining them here is simply wrong. It's you who is counti...
As obviously things are kept out of public, it naturally begs the question who did it? Hence the US is totally one candidate in this. Wouldn't actuall...
Yes, it was Trump that was against this. Of course in your logic you forget what and why that changed, just like why Sweden left it's foreign policy s...
