Books discussing about the horrors of the Holocaust is “adult”, I guess.

Lmao

You may be right. We just saw how Russia performed in the war in Ukraine despite the prior years of flexing lol. It’s not impossible to believe that the North Korean military is the same.

A free trip for defection for North Koreans!

It’s just UAE, not Middle East.

I will leave this here.

This is why you could and should never be lazy to search how to cancel subscription.

Ignore the us vs them narrative that tend to dominate the news on migration and look at the bigger picture:

MIGRATION WILL ONLY GET WORSE WITH HUMAN-INDUCED CLIMATE CHANGE

Governments and pharmas don’t intentionally create new diseases to make money.

I remember the US Airforce chief in 2017 suggesting that the US should have their own troll army. I guess that’s now implemented.

I don’t get what vatniks and Russian trolls are trying to do. Yes, Ukraine is at war and conscription is enforced. So what? What do they expect from a country invaded unprovoked and in a total war as a result?

I think what trolls are trying to do is not trying to demoralise the opponents, but reinforce the propaganda back home in Russia. Russian propaganda is already telling the Russians that they are winning and Ukraine is losing, even though Russia have lost way more soldiers than Ukrainians did in terms of ratio. Yes, Ukraine has fewer people so they are running out of soldiers and recruiting older folks; but Russia has lost plenty more but don’t want to tap the huge but politically-sensitive Russian urban population who will not appreciate being drafted.

Not just that, Kremlin recruits people from poorer regions who desperately needs money so there is still plenty support. https://russiapost.info/regions/majority

Yup, in a year or two this will piss off many Russians.

So, US had been reluctant to allow Ukraine to strike Russian military assets deep within Russia with American weapons; but at the same time, US handwaves away Israelis killing Palestinian civilians using massive American military package.

Biden-- you could not be any more of an ass without a spine.

So that isn’t my concern.

Failed neoliberal policies and mismanagement (or lack thereof) of globalisation made people more inward-looking and nativist.

But as far as I can tell, Latin America is having a “pink wave”, which made the right stop on their tracks there.

Younger folks are just electorally apathetic. This isn’t exclusive to GenZ and Millenials, if you look back on voter records in the '60s and '70s, even the young boomers at the time also did not vote in droves. It is an age thing more than any specific generational traits.

It worked for him before-- it might work again. He is still neck to neck with Biden in polling after all.

There is an ethnic tribe in China that is highly matriarchal, and literally the men there are cucked. The women can have multiple partners.

US military equipment were actually on standby in Poland for delivery, just before the anticipated final vote and approval in Congress. In spite of this, the real challenge is actually once delivered to their intended destination-- setting up and deploying the equipment to combat still takes time.

this ignores the key issue that in Germany, there was already an extensive and perfectly functional nuclear industry.

Shhh… anti-nuclear don’t want to hear this. They’d rather project, even though people are talking about how stupid closing down the current nuclear infrastructure and not advocating to build new ones!

I don’t support building new nuclear power plants, but it’s ridiculous to close down already existing ones given the threat of climate change. NPP should act more like stop gap until renewable energy can take over more effectively.
