Not much. There is a war going on between Ethiopia and Eritrea. How many pages does the Taipei Times devote to it? Or to the war in northern Nigeria w...
A new word appears in Ukrainian: "Stop macronizing!" By Christel Brigaudeau, special correspondent in Kharkiv (Ukraine), Le Parisien, April 11, 2022 T...
Sure, one ought to discuss whatever one wants to discuss. I think it's called freedom of speech. And if one doesn't want to discuss something, one is ...
You mistook me for someone who cares what you talk about very much. I don't. When I see a mistake or a lie, I point it out. So for instance, all I mea...
There is a categorical difference here. Those countries fighting in the Ukraine war, vs those not fighting. Two different categories. A further catego...
The exact opposite is happening. We are here to talk about Ukraine and you guys try to make it about your anti-american obsession, to deflect attentio...
It's an old French dream -- to which I subscribe -- to build an autonomous Europe, including in terms of foreign policy and military. The idea is call...
Yes. Charitably speaking, people are also tired of a unipolar world, something I can understand, and it's a new thing, not a feature in the 30's. It's...
This dichotomy is still with us. After two generations tried to remember the horrors of Nazism, now people are eager to forget and to come back to sim...
How do you know that the children crushed by bombs in Mariupol or elsewhere 'hate and despise' the bombers? Hating your own murderer justifies the mur...
Money is not a problem. There's vast amount of it everywhere. Europe is rich. Now that the Brits are gone, the EU has a better chance of making progre...
"Surely, and Mr Hitler is fighting communism. That must count for something." Often they would have the good sense to qualify their support: "I find h...

Poll Shows Zelensky Leading 2024 U.S. Presidential Race Andy Borowitz, March 17, 2022 WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a development that could upe...
Zelensky is the modern anarchist champion. Power to the people! From wiki, emphasis mine: Zelenskyy grew up as a native Russian speaker in Kryvyi Rih,...
Good point. That's probably true, and would explain the relentless character assassination attempts by the representative of the Federation of Russia ...
Mr Zelenskyy might be a clown but he is a good one. Servant of the People is really funny. THAT -- and not CNN as suggested by @"boethius", the mage w...
Okay so you don't exactly know when he was told but it was after or soon before the start of the war. So my case is strengthened: it was not a priorit...
But that quote is dated a week after the start of the war. Before the war, he was never told that. Okay so you lied implying that Zelenskyy had starte...
What evidence is there that Zelenskyy was told about that before the war? At what occasion did NATO tell him? Refresh my memory and present evidence o...
