I agree with what you say. The actions of Disney come to mind as a perfect example. A company that had the valuable "Marvel-universe" and an American ...
I think for the East European countries and the Baltic States wanting to join NATO had the membership everything to do with the threat of Russia. Whic...
It's basically Gulf States like Qatar and a myriad of providers have replaced Russia. The problem with US gas (and oil) is that the production hasn't ...
Sure. For such complex event as Brexit giving single reason is simply stupid. Remote/proximate or major/minor reasons is the way to go. And of course,...
I think you may be right in putting the decline starting in the 2010's. Or the scary issue is when people read less. You see, with reading you really ...
Someone who has a time of age named after them surely has a legacy. But how much of that is of her political decisions is a different thing. I assume ...
Neocons were actually a tiny cabal, that just got power during younger Bush. You have more longer schools of foreign policy than that, starting from W...
You then should convince us just why Queen Victoria's policies have still effect today, and having more effect than for example the decision of the co...
And a great example of where US politics has gone. A populist politician doesn't and actually shouldn't be a true statesman as those who support popul...
This is a Philosophy forum, so you know that causation isn't structurally related (or confined) to time, especially a time limit. But politicians use ...
And a question for everyone. Have I just become old and cranky, but are especially Hollywood films become worse? What do you think about current films...
First contender to Trump. Or perhaps later the vice-presidential nominee? https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2023/02/01/gettyimages-660292656-c6108fc094...
Do notice that all armed forces combined Russia the size is very large. But the forces are deliberately cut into different services as one singular en...
The country is going back to it's old ways rapidly. In celebration of the 1943 victory in Stalingrad, Volgograd was named again Stalingrad, at least f...
This wouldn't be a problem assuming the focus would be in the long run, but of course the classic corporate raider tactics shows that this can be quit...
Except that "Rogue states", those that are deemed to be one by the West, that do have actual nuclear weapons aren't attacked by the US and it's allies...
Again nonsense from you. I think there was an evident and obvious desire to make changes from the Soviet system. Even if you think it was so much bett...
Both for joining EU and NATO having problems with human rights is an issue. And the emphasis in is joining, because then you do have (and did have) ve...
What they have used quite a lot is Armed Assault -series (Arma 3). Typically been pro-Russian stuff. Even if IR-camera footage is blurry, anyone who h...
Lol, How? And I've shown that a lot of experts don't agree with him on this issue. Why not try to engaging on the actual issues and not "this is true,...
If you would actually follow what people like I write, you would have noticed that on some issues I agree with Mearsheimer, Sachs and even with Chomsk...
And what you just said means that it wasn't a US staged coup. And the post-coup government lasted for few months until the elections in the same year ...
I think there are several reasons just why the corporate manager level transformed from high paid employees to a class of their own in the US. First i...
Facts aren't propaganda. I think that Putin has mentioned himself for example PNAC, but you don't have to refer Putin on it, you can easily refer to t...
Don't put words in my mouth. What I'm against is the reurgitation of Russian propaganda and to say that the US staged the Revolution of Dignity, not t...
It's an example of the obsessive short term view of focusing on the next quarter. Buybacks are a stupid way to use money: all it takes is a recession ...
Exactly and well put. What the people here obsessed with the US fail to understand that diplomats and foreign politicians trying to influence events s...
:100: :up: In all, both revolutions were something quite Ukrainian. Not something planned and controlled from other countries, even if these countries...
Jeffrey Sachs was well referred in the article given by . But Sachs naturally can have his US-oriented picture of it all (as can have Marjorie Taylor ...
If you would read correctly, it is about invading and annexing territories from neighbors. Hence when it comes to for example China, Vietnam can be wo...
Likely Moldova, which has a frozen conflict and Russian troops inside it or do you refer to my country in the past? Well, I think I know what that mea...
Or for Russia. Already as the Russian military is failing in Ukraine, it is having ripple effect in the Caucasus and in Central Asia with the former S...
There are many smaller countries who think so. Not every country is like the UK, Russia or the US. A country that just has invaded in the past decades...
To seek to acquire territory in pursuit of a national security has been the modus operandi for Russia basically for all it's entire existence. As Cath...
A lot of countries don't want political and economic control of other states. They just want to sell stuff to them and have normal, working relations....
This is something of a theater happening every now and then. I think now the question is if the current Senate is so dysfunctional, so bitterly venomo...
Did it happen? Even before the war. No. Annexations of many parts of Ukraine are quite obvious evidence if this for all to see. You cannot refute it. ...
NATO membership, yes, because NATO membership could be and was easily thwarted like Turkey's long standing EU application. What your error is the idea...
I wouldn't actually call it significant number. And it will take months before they are on the battlefield. Politicians want to meddle with the specif...
You really respond to what Mearsheimer said last November 2022 with a lecture that he has given in 2015 as a refutation? (The latter video isn't worki...
It's a good observation how the two are similar. Snacks, junk food and porn are simply cheap substitutes that try to hide things that are important. E...
Problem is that many people don't want the truth and are interested in only power. Or see truth only as a powerplay, something that is used to get pow...
When you are saying that Europeans do not play a role of significance in this conflict, US can solely decide what countries join or not NATO when it's...
Have to put this up. Two absolute legends from the silent films, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton together at older age in Chaplin's Limelight. Too b...
As Thin Red line was mentioned, I have to note that two of the best warfilms ever done aren't American, but German. Der Untergang (the Downfall, 2004)...
