a) Costly buying from the SPOT-market, b) extend the use of nuclear energy as they have still three nuclear power plants working which are planned to ...
Some developments: Germany put a halt to the Nordstream 2. Similarly here the government is going to make a new risk analysis of a nuclear reactor a R...
Delusional nonsense and lies, as you haven't been long in this forum. I remember well those who defended on the previous site the invasion of Iraq and...
Thanks for the reference. I think it would good to say one totally obvious thing: If one is against imperialism, it is logical to be against all imper...
Well called in advance from you. The next thing I assume, at least at some timetable, is that these "independent countries" will hold referendums or s...
I think that the Canadian government is noticing that Canadians are not what they are stereotypically portrayed to be. But anyway, any Western governm...
It's pretty self-explanatory just to read what Vladimir the Great said in his television address: That is a speech from a man going to war. Or in stal...
Lines in the sand don't work as every event or incident is in the end unique, if it's not the typical marital fight that ends up in the police coming ...
FINALLY! The Truth from you (likely as a slip, but still). Sovereignty of nations and the multitude of international agreements in that Russia accepte...
They haven't stopped talking about Crimea, so this won't be forgotten. The last conflict that could have been forgotten was the Russo-Georgian war, as...
Right from the Stalinist playbook. After recognizing the Independence of Luhansk and Donetsk, next phase I assume is that they volunteer to join the G...
But you aren't trapped in a burning building with the walls crushing down on you. Australia isn't on the verge of collapse. You're just spending your ...
Usually it has been Putin who has pushed NATO back to it's Cold War stance. There was genuine talk of Russia becoming a member of NATO, we shouldn't f...
As Frank said, the US is not going to intervene. They just promise to impose more sanctions. Biden has said he won't even use the US military to evacu...
:smile: Well, I've noticed that the Marxists here aren't so excited about the current "Chinese Marxism" that the Chinese promote either. If there is a...
Nobody is a gospel of truth. And since a global pandemic hit us, it's totally understandable that there are errors, overreactions and misguided attemp...
One country, two systems could go only so long... until the Chinese leader decided that he did't need the West anymore and Chinese version of Marxism ...
And that is also reported by TASS, the Russian news agency. So it can't be just "NATO propaganda". And furthermore, accusations that Russia has been s...
Resigning due to "public uproar" is one's own choice. Here one should really think what is genuine "public uproar". It's one thing that you are attack...
No, but those notoriously powerful mass media or the "unrivalled lobbying power of the largest organisations" aren't so insuperable as you portray the...
My bad to forget Taiwan! Well, Taiwan would be similar to that there would be an island or territory where the White Russian forces would have treated...
Do notice that there is legislation on unfair dismissal of an employee. And this differs by country. That because of "cancel culture" you are dismisse...
Actually...no. Not at all. China isn't as bellicose as Russia has been. China doesn't send it's forces to train to a third country and participate in ...
More like the weakness of organized labour unions. Without collective bargaining, an individual worker doesn't have much chance in getting a good deal...
No, they don't. History tells a lot of the why the present is the way it is. Television news isn't where you get to know things. Books, documentaries,...
And many news and media companies have this bias towards their country. In fact, their readers and viewers often do also. I can be rather sure that if...
I will say it again. Cancel culture is one result of American workers having few if any workers rights when it comes to the ability of their employer ...
Well, this is about a war that is going on Ukraine and the possible enlargement of that war. For the Russian involvement, just to give one example of ...
Haha. You don't see the obvious illogicality in everything is a racket? So, all the media does is to lie? Not even a single issue that is truthful or ...
But this is easy. 1) If Russia doesn't attack Ukraine, then it can be said that the outing of the Russian army on the Ukrainian border got the West to...
They are KGB. All that matters is that the Russian people accept it and go publicly with the lie, even if they would have doubts about it in private. ...
Yes. Well, if Putin does that, he'll do it with his armed forces. And it doesn't really look good. Putin is accusing Ukraine of genocide. We already h...
Erdogan is one of those leaders who is ruining his country and tries to hide it with bombast nationalism and obviously wants grandeur. That's true and...
Remember we were talking about the economy and trade. Both Italy and Canada have a larger GDP than Russia. The German economy is many times larger. If...
Far more typical is simply to see everything as a racket of the rich. Either it's leftist or the right-wing populism, but for both it's the elite that...
It doesn't mean that. The media operates how it does. Then there is the reality that is happening, which is important. Sorry for being centrist and no...
And I only wanted to clarify that, that Turkic and Turkish are two different things. Turkey obviously upholds it's role with the Turkic people. I'm no...
Obviously Russia is trying to weaken Ukraine by every means and also economically. So I agree with you. My point was only to show that the EU is far m...
Do note that both in exports and in imports EU countries altogether are far more important to Ukraine than Russia. Yes, by some stats Russia is the la...
No, that's just how the modern media works. First it was leaders of countries who held media briefings about corona-virus. Then it was the ministers a...
I think here Georgia would be a good alternative example. The two countries have had no formal relations since the war, but still Georgia has had to a...
You do know that there is a war that could be defined as a civil war ALREADY going on in Eastern Ukraine with Russian forces involved? A very, very st...
Certainly if you have loved ones and those who rely on you. When you have children, it's an obvious feeling. If you are totally alone, have no friends...
Second largest arms exporter...hmmm. From 2016. That sounds a bit fetched when you think that Canada would be pass then Russia, France or UK in arms d...
New membership in NATO should be accepted by all existing members and when you have Germany openly saying that even if "each country should be able to...
Something like that. Or if we want to define just when are you nervous and when you aren't. And is it really the opposite? Is the nervousness the same...
I think that true opposites exist only when they have been defined to be as (logical) opposites. Then the terms in my view cannot be independent. You ...
There's has been for a long time a tendency to write off Russia, as it cannot overcome it's real problems. Well, perhaps it cannot find solutions to t...
