    United States Trump 2nd Term - Planning and Beyond

    No Israels Muslim enemies started this war. They did back in 1948, when they decided a partition of Palestine into two states wasn't good enough and tried to wipe out the Jews living there instead. The participants and means of fighting it have changed, there's been occasional cease fires even...

    Dystopian Europe

    Outside of Eastern Europe, it's the nation often derided as surrender monkeys, that seems to have the most cultural spine: France is facing up to Islamism, so why can’t Britain?

    General Gaming Thread

    Most AAA games regardless of graphics, would be smaller by several gigabytes, if all spoken languages besides the developers original one were kept separate as FreeLCs, instead of half a dozen additional audio tracks of which everyone uses at most one being part of the mandatory install.

    United States Trump 2nd Term - Planning and Beyond

    I'm sure Maris also had plenty of things to say about the evil things Niles Crane supposedly did, when going through and after their divorce. Why would anybody consider an Ex spouse to be a credible witness for anything?

    United States Trump 2nd Term - Planning and Beyond

    Although I agree with the order in principle, not also signing one ordering School Choice for public schools nationwide was both unfair for the kids who'm the schools are going to take their cut funding out on as well as a strategic mistake.

    Morality of invading Greenland

    The morals are neither here nor there, but I sure would prefer the money we pay for oil go to the Kleptocrats in Moscow, rather than the Theocrats in Ryiad. Likewise I sure wouldn't lift a single finger to help the Sauds or approve of sending them aid. Now selling them arms at premium prices...

    Dystopian Europe

    For some news both good and funny: Why did anti-Israel activists attack Floyd Mayweather? TLDR: In the UK a mob of about 30 anti-Israel activists attacked one of the few celebrities who is a vocal supporter of Israel. Who happened to be a retired champion boxer.

    The Americas Mexico is breaking diplomatic ties with Ecuador after police stormed the embassy in Quito

    They had another option: Break of diplomatic ties and expel the Embassy personnel. Wouldn't have given them the guy, but forced Mexico to take him with the out of the country. Or even simply threaten to do so unless he's extradited first.

    Petro Dollar Agreement Expires

    Might just be a negotating tactic by the Sauds to get a better deal. The US$ isn't what it used to be, but what's the alternative? The Euro is also kept afloat by printing money and might implode at the rate anti-EU parties gain strength. The Sauds being corrupt as frack themselves aren't going...

    Petro Dollar Agreement Expires

    Because the US State Department is even more saturated with Saudi lobbyists or people who hope to become such, than Mc Carthy thought it was with Communists. No matter who is in the White House, your State Department will always run a pro-Saud foreign policy.

    Movies Mad Max Saga

    If tomorrow Ubisoft released an open world RPG, that combines the writing quality of Witcher 3 with the combat of Elden Ring and is 100% bug free I still wouldn't buy it on release. Why? Well how would I know? It's a Ubisoft game, which has a solid reputation in my mind of releasing overhyped...

    United States US presidential election 2024

    The people who keep on calling Orban far right, tend to be the same ones who also insisted that Erdogan is the Muslim version of a European Christian Democrat or that Chavez was a Social Democrat.

    United States US presidential election 2024

    An individual reporter might be learned enough to understand it. That doesn't mean they wont pretend ignorance, in order to use it to brand a Republican as a Puppy Murderer. Nonetheless I am a bit disturbed by this. Why? Because any Republican who hasn't spent the last few decades in a coma...

    Dystopian Europe

    If you held a poll in Poland in 1987, you'd have found overwhelming support for Communism. In 1990 after the Revolution, no matter how hard The New York Times tried to find someone to interview to get "the other side of the story", they were unable to find any Communists willing to nostaligize...

    United States Anti-Semitism in the United States (and elsewhere)

    Brilliant! Let me know if there's a way to donate: Someone at UCLA set up a giant screen across from the protesters with the October 7th attack playing on loop Just outside of the Hamasjugend-Camps showing the footage and blaring the "ambient sound" of the massacres from the loudspeakers.
