    Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    Yeah was away, my grandma died, spent a week in hospital leading up to it and another week doing Shiva. all while juggling work, kinda crappy 2-3 weeks for me. Anyway, on the funeral part it's completely appalling, no excuses there for the cops. Personally I'm ashamed, there is a lot of public...

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    Yeah, just remembered you posted a "theory" a while back about hungary and poland annexing parts of Ukraine in agreement with russia. Thought it was intresting Ukraine are suggesting that. For the Oil and Gas part, feel free to eleborate, its always intersting. I'll just say that personally I...

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    In regards to assimilation I assume, if so then yeah. In 99% of cases at least, maybe US and Canada are an exemption to a degree. Or used to be. 1651338016 Didn't said they should. They are being forcibly assimilated by the dominate culture 1651338405...

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    It's an important distinction that wasn't made, true. My point was assimilation should be up to the individual, never the country, otherwise it doesn't work and can even turn into a tragedy (native Americans, Uyghurs', Copts, the middle east etc.). Assimilation is a choice, not good or bad in...

    The ultimate responsibility to assimilate lies on the people who immigrate. Some immigrate simply don't want to

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    Looking at the forces (amount and type) they committed to Kiev in the first days tells you they didn't plan to occupy it at that stage. Even an army private wouldn't attempt to occupy a city like Kiev in that manner, it's impossible. It's was to achieve a very specific goal, maybe like RUS said...

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    Yeah, even likely. But if successful it just make whatever the goal is easier to achieve. It's not like Ukrainians would just give up if he fled imo. I think the initial assault on Kiev was a failed attempt at a surgical strike, it wasn't intended to occupy Kiev imo. 1650375569 I don't...

    I don't see the contradiction. What do you mean?

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    This was always the goal from the start imo. And forcing naturality on Ukraine as a bonus. NATO, Nazis, nukes etc were always diversions. They were just there to shift the focus from Russia imperialistic ambitions to a more "defensible" casus belli of combating foreign threats.

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    Yeah I agree, I was more disagreeing with the notion the right wont win any election in the forseeable future. Pepole have short memories. 1649750560 :lol: the panic laughter of realization hit him at the end there, I cringed.

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    Yeah, his voters really dislike Macron, especially due to his economic policies. Also both him and Le Pen are against NATO irc, so that might earn her small no. of his voters. But when times comes I agree not a lot of his voters will have the heart to vote Le Pen.

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    The gap in the first round is also due to more right wing parties cannibalizing each other then last election. The second round will be different even though I would still put Macron ahead. 1649616037 Don't think she will btw, but last election it was a fantasy.

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    Not sure I agree. It's all about how you spin it. The European right is taking a populist turn and if the economical fallout of this war will be severe they will have a way back in, recession was coming anyway imo so this will further compound the effect. They will run on an economic platform...

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    You are not entierly wrong but I think a bit of nuance is missing from your argument. Russian and westren media have completly different baseline of bias and manipulation True that westrem media when enlisted for a cause ie. War on Iraq becomes much similer to what russian media is like on the...
