You’re right there is a list, and they don’t agree who should be in charge. Which means the internal problems would be a lot more important than the external war. Especially if there is a risk one of them might take western help to get in charge.
By the time they’re ready to think about Ukraine again, there would be half of NATO sitting there waiting for them.
If we put a bullet in Putin, there would be no more war. That tells me we’re not at war with Russia. We’re at war with Putin.
True enough if it happens. Putin seems to have his Oligarchs convinced he can form a coalition with China, India, Iran and North Korea that can stand against the west.
At least they’re convinced for now. If that changes, the rest of the world will find out posthumously.
Oh for sure Israel is handing out some commendations. I’m just curious how they managed it because there could be implications that arise. If it was a company helping them, there could be financial repercussions, if it was the CIA there could be political issues.
They had to be designed or modified to explode. Which makes it a big question of where they came from. Lots of legitimate ways Israel could have done it, and a lot of ways that could involve violating laws and treaties.
Down right idiotic. I’m all for some better gun control, but this is just a stupid idea.
If Texas wants to put a bounty on women, we should be able to put a bounty on guns. It’d be a lot more effective too.
Stop hosting them and set up a permanent Olympic village in Greece with international funding. Standardized facilities and courses.
There are no good guys in the middle east. Only civilians that are angry about being shit on.
It’s about time someone did. War is just violent economics. Taking away Putin’s income will cost him the war faster than killing Russians.
Finally figuring out that war is economics with violence. Our sanctions have been half assed from the start, and need to include some serious pressure on any country not abiding by them.
China has long had a unification plan. It’s not really anything new. There’s just been a huge political football made out of it for decades. And of course that led to stupidly huge over investment in their economy by the rest of the globe as a way to encourage China to back off. Xi doesn’t see the value in the status quo. It’d be like California seceding, then making tons of money while the rest of the US went fascist and built military power. Same ending.
So about a third of the country are morons, but can you get your government to only consist of one third morons?
Blocked a few dozen, subscribed to maybe half a dozen. It got a lot easier once I figured out the app lets me block communities without having to open the community page.
Those are all the problems for places that don’t get the heat the AMOC moves. It doesn’t list the problem for the places where that heat doesn’t leave.
Just waiting for that sea level rise to kick in. There’s plenty of anchorages that are still too shallow for my boat.
Times how many hundreds of shells? With bomblets sitting around for decades after.
And how many survived that hit, as opposed to a similar fragmentation strike? A few survivors aren’t actually a bad thing in a lot of cases too. They require resources to care for, draining man power that’s already stretched thin.
It just strikes me as a less than efficient weapon choice. I’d be curious to see it compared to air burst flechette rounds in effectiveness.
I dunno, it just seems like the delay on the bomblets was too long. And also that a fragmentation round could have gotten them all without leaving unexploded ordinance all over the place.
The movement of a tiny group of people relative to the size of the EU drastically shifted the entire political structure of the EU, leading to Brexit and several other countries considering the same. Magnify that affect by the number of people that will be moving due to climate change, and you get an extinction event.
Syrian refugees were the end result of climate shift in Syria.
Europe is going to have to get proactive about it’s security too. Just defending themselves from Putin and Xi won’t be enough.
