If it does, I do hope nuclear winter and global warming cancel each other out.

It's still in their constitution and to ensure long term neutrality, giving Donetsk and Luhansk independence in a federal relationship with the rest o...

I don't. Or was this about who got to launch the satellites? India vs US?

@"ssu" do you think it's a good idea for Finland to join NATO? Or is there any alternative in the world of the possible (including the improbable) tha...

The sarcasm of the presentator is incredibly annoying. Just report the facts. The only fact in there is how the Saudi advisory board was overruled by ...

Every nation will condemn it and then turn around and continue to do business with Russia except for the West. If the use of nuclear weapons is so pro...

I did, which is why I find the claim they were making headway incredulous and was asking for clarification, instead you chose to react like a petulant...

Thanks. Not very clear yet what is going on but I wouldn't be surprised if war crimes are committed. We haven't seen a war yet that doesn't have them.
April 16, 2022 at 15:37
wtf? What's that about? Why? Got a link too?
April 16, 2022 at 06:12
Where's the story that Ukraine was making headway with it's anti-corruption drive? 1. There's no "you guys", that's just your association; 2. That who...
April 16, 2022 at 05:44
Where in that reply did I suggest this? I was just pointing out your choice of words were poor even though I quite clearly understood your meaning.
April 15, 2022 at 12:28
That totally doesn't read like a racist trope. But I get what you're saying, in this war the preparation and execution of the Russian attack seems inc...
April 15, 2022 at 06:42
Are you seriously pretending we were talking about history and not parroting Biden's idiotic qualification of the current war? Come on. It has made no...
April 15, 2022 at 05:36
That's insulting to Jews, native Americans, Aboriginals and a multitude of other people who were actually the target of genocide.
April 14, 2022 at 19:58
I missed your earlier post. I agree with most what you say so I'll just cherrypick what I think is a misrepresentation. Russia invaded because of the ...
April 14, 2022 at 09:12
What? That the US and Russia are both to blame for this war thanks to them waging a decades long proxy war there? Based on stuff people predicted 25 y...

@"frank" Btw, had an interesting discussion with a friend today who paraphrased recent history of Europe as: we have to thank the Russians for not spe...
April 13, 2022 at 20:38
That's neither here nor there. Nobody in this scenarios cares what the Mexicans think - I just indulged your question because listing US crimes is a h...
April 13, 2022 at 20:35
Oh, I don't know, because of the US war on drugs, attempts at regime change in countries nearby, rhetoric suggesting Mexicans are sub-human (they're a...
April 13, 2022 at 18:42
I find the argument that the NATO is purely a defensive alliance rather naïve. As if the US would accept a defensive pact between Mexico and China whe...

In Ukraine. See: https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/02/26/imf-review-ukraine-debt-gdp-linked-warrants-reform/
April 13, 2022 at 14:44
All accounts I read were reporting that corruption reform wasn't going anywhere.
April 13, 2022 at 14:26
Military integration resulting in all sorts of military bases surrounding Moscow is in my view the main worry of the Russians, which is why they are a...
April 13, 2022 at 13:58
I seem to recall, but can't find it right now, that Russia explicitly stated economic integration with the EU wasn't the issue. Not sure what they mea...
April 13, 2022 at 13:45
Economics has never been the issue as far as I know. The question is the level of corruption and to what extent that's a barrier to integrate with the...
April 13, 2022 at 12:55
I was editing my previous comment but you already replied. :-) The 40 billion is local currency, so only 1,5 billion USD. Not that bad if they hadn't ...
April 13, 2022 at 10:55
40 billion in war time bonds. Ukraine is fucked even if Putin loses.
April 13, 2022 at 10:46
Did an overview of articles again today. I'm reading a lot Al Jazeera, which seems the only non-Western newspaper to have Ukraine as front page news b...

They weren't in a costly war for 8 years. Sanctions obviously don't deter, they've never done that and basically act as a mechanism for collective pun...
April 12, 2022 at 08:44
Everybody. In the short term though a ceasefire in Ukraine would be nice.
April 11, 2022 at 11:49
Macron believes in diplomacy first and foremost and has rightly been insisting on the EU breaking away from NATO for years to avoid being caught up in...

What a pathetic PR stunt by BoJo. Trying to viscerally be a war time prime minister.
April 11, 2022 at 07:25
The way things are going and how the US and Europe are preparing for the next round of bipolar struggle everything might be moot. But Kudos for lookin...

What's that?
April 10, 2022 at 10:06
from the article: How many is a few? At a minimum 20 years then. Much too late. Climate action needs to happen today and considering the rich west is ...

Another unproven technology. We can certainly hope but it's no replacement for actual policy doing what needs to be done with technologies we currentl...

Science isn't normative. There's no "rule", there's only classification. There are three visually distinct sexes, there are more based on chromosomes....
April 09, 2022 at 10:59
Too late for that. By the time this is effectively available, we will have breezed past the moment we could've avoided 1.5 degrees.
April 09, 2022 at 10:22
Yes, and then there's xxy, xyy and if I remember correctly xxx and yyy. Also a chimera syndrome possible and even x-reversed men syndrome, so female b...
April 09, 2022 at 08:55
That depends on your definition of sex. Chromosomal there's about six although they usually express visually as either female or male. But if you take...

Uh... So all the Roman wars, Alexander the Great, the unification wars by Qin, they were all "necessary"? I forget: Genghis Khan. Settler colonialism ...

People have had 50 years to awaken. It's not going to happen, mate. As I expected when I told you "same difference". What you need to do, being aware,...

How many macho gays have started wars? I'm taking a closer look: https://i.redd.it/ptj7nyg0nnh11.jpg :chin: hmmm... I think at least one.
April 08, 2022 at 14:31
It's not dismissed but also not relevant as to when Putin annexed Crimea. Those elections were afterwards and the damage of fraternising with national...
