Oh you'd love him. Or at least many Republicans (democrats?) would love him. I guess here in PF would be people that absolutely would hate him (even m...
So according to you only one is murderous? Actually there's an obvious similarity as both countries don't care a shit about international agreements, ...
You mean Palestinians? But shouldn't we accept "that regional powers project a sphere of influence in which you cannot fuck around without consequence...
The only thing worrisome to me is that Russia makes demands it knows NATO cannot accept to. Now it might be a negotiation tactic, but still. The whole...
The article talks about Donetsk and Luhansk, the rebellious states that opted out (with Russian help) from Ukraine. And the situation in these regions...
Yes. Like the Netherlands in the 1930's. But hey, it worked just splendid during WW1! Being a buffer state sucks. But it reinforces the truth that for...
Well, I think it hasn't been refuted and it makes sense. Those former intelligence people who did say that the conspiracy theory was true have been ki...
Coming back to the OP. The question is: isn't life chaotic, even without the human's in picture? The environment may seem to be in order, tranquil and...
Here they are disbanding the corona restrictions and even the local health officials don't see worth in continuing to have corona passports. Cases are...
The absolute inability for you to understand Russia leaves me nearly speechless. You have a Russian leader, a president for life, that sees the main e...
Obviously it was a poor decision from Milley to talk about critical race theory or to refer to it. But then he I think it's his least worries in Publi...
I think actually the only statistic that is easy to point out to be a direct and obvious consequence of the huge amount of weapons among people are th...
Compare Chicago's or New Orleans murder rate to other cities or places. https://fivethirtyeight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/arthur-murderchicago.pn...
(Actually I agree with the latter) Yet what can one say? Only that there are these juicy narratives that people want to use and fit everything into. I...
Yes, those sovereign states are the member states. It's totally logical. Now the US formed various similar Treaty organizations, NATO, SEATO and CENTO...
As long as you observe its founders are an assortment of sovereign states, not just few individuals that already have died. And it's a process as the ...
If I remember correctly, you were of the view that NATO enlargement, just as EU enlargement has been driven by the motives Rockefeller and similar. Th...
As couple of answers have pointed out, intelligence isn't the same as cognitive skills. I think we just adjust and optimize for our environment and th...
Well, having the biggest nuclear arsenal in the World should deter that. But yet you do talk about Rockefeller's NATO. :smile: And it's preposterous t...
Finland pays roughly over 700 million euros more to the EU that what it gets back in subsidies and other payments. Finland, just like Sweden, Denmark ...
So you really would think that the Biden administration would think that maternity flight suits are more important than the threat of Chinese hyperson...
Well, Ukraine indeed has better worker rights than in the US (or in Australia) according to the Labour rights Index, yet the wages are quite low. EU c...
One is an idiot, if someone thinks the below argument will float: But then again, the senile Fox viewers... :roll: And then there is the reality: Yes....
One can be cynical, but I just am amazed how in their criticism of the US some people are outright contemptuous and how much they show disdain and dis...
Most happiness with social democracy? Actually, I think the best policies are those when the opposite side of the political aisle takes on the agenda ...
Ok, I got it. I would argue that this is how modern political parties who depend on the outrage factor to get people to vote for them operate. Now I d...
It wouldn't actually be so hard. A victorious speech in front of Russian soldiers and an Iskander-missile launch vehicle behind him and he can declare...
The idea that Putin put over 100 000 Russian soldiers on the border of Ukraine just to get attention and have a conversation with Biden doesn't make a...
I'd say sometimes there are these excesses of cancel culture or political correctness or whatever. One hardly should think these show a real genuine c...
It's basically a very old political spin both parties actually use: In the GOP view the basic issue is that: "Look what the Democrats are doing to the...
Please do note that this is a Philosophy Forum, so people do take marxism actually seriously, not just as a colorful swearword and totally replaceable...
Exactly. Ukrainian NATO membership was like the potential EU membership of Turkey. And if it wasn't for the invasion into Ukraine, the situation would...
What's wrong with "naive, ad hoc, unsystematic, uneducated" listening to music? How many know how to play an electronic guitar? How many know the hist...
It was actually shown to be a Russian BUK-M1 missile. They used an equivalent missile given by the Finnish armed forces (as Finland had the same syste...
Actually, Russia can do whatever it wants with it's tanks inside it's own borders. But usually camping over 100 000 men on the border of another count...
So are you saying that demanding that independent countries have no right to make decisions on their own security policy is diplomatic? One can say th...
That what is generally depicted with 2,4,8,... Not that it ends sometimes, which would be 2,4,8,.....,a. ? if the sequence is for example N, then the ...
Would do you think so? Did the US put over 100 000 troops on a border of Ukraine? Did the US annex territory of Ukraine? Has the US expressed doubts o...
Basically, yes. Math is all about =. You see, math has emerged from a need to picture reality around us. Calculation, addition and substraction has be...
I find this confusing. If there genuinely is a pattern with 2,4,8,... then that pattern will describe the number chain or series to infinitum or other...
Nope, I've been born in the early 1970's. I think there's nobody here who is genuinely backing Putin, but many of course are very critical about US fo...
Ok, so the conflict is at the point that here in PF it got a dedicated thread! Actually, I genuinely hope that this (or similar) threads aren't going ...
And this just shows that there is truth to what they say about EU and NATO: that these organizations make members to be team players, or at least not ...
Money or influence doesn't make you hear things differently. On the other hand, it's understandable that people don't have as a sport hobby polo as ho...
They are not blind. And yes, as you said, a person always calling everyone else a liar is the usually the biggest liar. You see, these persons usually...
