Why so aggressive all the time? Why can't you just agree to disagree in a cool headed manner? Keep some sense of humour; try and understand others. Wh...
We can do better than that. Even @"Isaac" can, I suspect. This is an important topic, about war and peace, life and death, far more important than any...
@"Isaac" keeps misunderstanding others, all the time, that's what he does here. He's good at it. I guess it stems from 'the will to be dumb', the desi...
Maria Alyokhina, the leader of the Pussy Riot band, escaped Russia by disguising herself as a food courier to avoid Moscow police, the New York Times ...
Not sure what you are trying to say here. The Europeans are saying to UK/US: "the goal is to repel the invasion, not to 'bleed Russia', so don't get t...
Now Macron is ringing a similar bell: "While suggesting the creation of a "European political community" likely to create closer bonds between the Eur...
Since when are western media supposed to be coherent? And what does that have to see with the Finns and their security? Does CNN make policy prescript...
Personally, I'm quite happy that the US fought in WW2, and in WW1. But that's just me. If you see the US as equally dangerous to your own security as ...
So, Mario Draghi, Italian prime minister, is in Washington. The US media has not (yet?) reported it but he is saying something relevant to the present...
Very few intercepted flights entered allied airspace, though. The Swedes took the March 2 case very seriously. It was not just one plane and they ente...
The Russians have flown four military jets in Swedish air space early March. Two of those were reportedly equipped with nuclear weapons, although this...
Yes you do need security against America when you are in their crosshair. And even more so if America becomes a ruthless, immoral dictatorship. Fascis...
It means that the Russians could potentially try and invade (or try to otherwise damage militarily) some of their other neighbours. They've just unlea...
No reason for it. My question was about the choice of rationality as a overarching criterion. Communism or Nazism are rational, far more rational than...
I did but you were not interested. The Finns will do whatever they want or can do. I am just saying that their position is not so hard to understand a...
You are good at misunderstanding, when you want to misunderstand. And I could also pretend to misunderstand you, but life is short. So by all means, d...
Strategic thinking is not about what will happen tomorrow, but what may happen 10, 20 or 50 years from now. Putin is temporary. He will soon be dead, ...
Nietzsche was no idiot and he is basically at the root of Nazism. As an atheist, I think it is tempting to just throw off our Christian tradition, lik...
There were other offshoots, way beyond the national (Swedish) tale of origins. E.g. the Normands were offered a solid chunk of France which became Nor...
Well then, watch Vikings. I believe it's quite well done from a ethnographic standpoint. Of course it's entertainment and not a history book but there...
No offense, but that was a long time ago. BTW, I really enjoyed the series Vikings, as well as the Last Kingdom, which is more pro-Brit while Vikings ...
Anna Politkovskaya: 'Putin doesn't like people. We are a means for him' The journalist from Novaya Gazeta, Russia's last independent newspaper, publis...
Hey Chris, be aware that people living in very secure conditions often don't care about the risks others are incurring. So take a guy like @"Streetlig...
No. We are talking about Finland's and Sweden's reasons for trying to join NATO. And I was pointing at the war in Ukraine as proof that Russia can't b...
There's no comparison between the US and Russia. Russia is a brutal militaristic fascist regime, the US is just a somewhat imperfect (sick) democracy....
Look at what the Russians did in Busha. Who in his right mind would want the same thing for their people? Because they were afraid of Russia's reactio...
Ought to do? From an ethical standpoint, or from a geopolitical, strategic planning standpoint? Let's assume the latter, as ethical considerations hav...
Well, here's an issue you would actually be somewhat competent to speak of: do lobby for the UK to leave NATO asap. But once again, what the Finns do ...
What I want to know is why oh why the UK remains in NATO, since there are no credible external threats to the security of Great Britain that I can see...
Easy to say when you live in a country either far away from Russia, or protected by NATO. People have a right to take steps to defend themselves. What...
Nowadays, it doesn't matter where the missiles are launched from. Russia cannot 'control' Finland (or Sweden) but it could still destroy it. I think j...
Interesting. I think there might be a simple solution to the 'contradiction' Chomsky keeps pointing at, between on the one hand the representation of ...
