Two wrongs don’t make a right. Also pretty terrible to blame one dude for the faults of an entire national industry.

Yes, but nothing in the rules of war or international law say you can’t attack the enemy nation’s territory. The people loaning Ukraine weapons are the ones saying that. The same ones that held up many supplies at a critical time during the Spring 2024 offensive.
This wasn’t so much entitlement as necessity. My aunts moved to get married. My dad and uncles moved for work. Meeting up was always infrequent because it required flying. My grandpa(dad’s side) wasn’t able to make it to my dads wedding and my mom did not get to see her dad on his deathbed.
Just how things were back then.
100% of my family besides my wife and dog are far enough away that flying is the only practical way to visit them.
Their are many more moderate sects of Islam, they just didn’t get all the US and Saudi $$$$ to spread their beliefs.
As shown by Boeing “sharing the load” of mcdonnell Douglas you can’t share with “bad apples”. SpaceX, NASA and Blue origin could maybe do well.
More than half of the world’s aircraft carriers including Russias drydocked one.
The largest airforce in the world is the US air force. The second largest is the US army. The fourth largest is the US navy.
There’s a lot to shit on the US for, the size and capability of our military ain’t it unless you’re talking about how it is too large.
We don’t have straight manned capacity (3rd to China and India respectively). However China and India don’t like one another and in fact just had a border clash not that long ago. So I’m including India against China, possibly Iran and neutral on Russia (with oil as a bargaining/diplomatic factor).
By ourselves not easily. But such a war is World War III…everyone is getting involved.
Russia has already shown their military is subpar. Ukraine aid has still been quite limited in terms of how much of the more advanced stuff we’ve been willing to give them and ability to strike Russian targets. They’ve already got over 500,000 casualties not to mention equipment losses. They’re starting with a disadvantage regardless of how Ukraine turns out. Biggest issues from Russia-owned GOPers continuing to detract and otherwise make full support difficult as well as disinformation campaigns.
The middle east is difficult. Question of getting bogged down (as per usual) as well as nuclear concerns. With NATO support on one side and opposing Russia-China support the other. Israel would likely be the biggest ally here(it is a major reason they get military support from us) and already have advanced weaponry and of course genocidal rage. Something something about enemies and enemies.
China would be the most difficult issue if already engaged with Russia and Iran. Numbers and military quality are certainly a concern. All the outsourced manufacturing would also be a major headache, honestly not certain which side would be hurt more by that economically. That said many nearby countries would probably be willing to aid in small and large ways because of dislike of China. Furthermore their last major military engagement was in Vietnam 1979 with skirmishes until 1991. So 30-40y on most Chinese commanders and infantry don’t have actual battle experience. So question of quality and whether with allies we could stand up to their manpower and manufacturing capacity.
Not certain how much Africa would come into play as that’d be a real mess.
All in all, winnable or not would only be determined by actual battle. Major losses of life for all involved.
India was a British colony for a long-ass time. English is the second most known language in India behind Hindi. More than 10% of the population speaks at least some English. English is also prominent among more educated fields because many indians study abroad in the US and UK. On an article written in English it is common to use photos that readers can understand. I assume there were/are also Hindi sign that just aren’t presented here.
Hindi is spoken by about 40% of the population.
Large scale death events are the only reference we have for the type of population reduction that we are/will be seeing.
Labor supply being reduced while demand remains means that labor is stronger. Whether that supply reduction is due to death, population decline, or other causes is not really relevant.
I think you’re reading too much into what’s not there. The poster is talking about how less people resulted in the improvement of labor conditions. In the past this has only happened noticeably through large scale death. The black death is probably the most drastic but similar has happened after both WWI and WWII. The difference is that the current labor supply reduction won’t be from death but from reduced births. However, increased power of laborers should at least be similar whether the cause is through death or reduced births. China, Japan, and South Korea are experiencing/are going to experience this first without drastically increased immigration and the rest of the western world isn’t far behind.
If you strike and there’s no scabs for them to hire or the scabs are even more expensive (because they aren’t desperate for a job) then it becomes cheaper to actually give the workers what they want.
It is the opposite of the poor eating the poor. Being educated, having fewer kids later in life makes getting out of the poverty cycle a lot easier for anyone.
Common cold still mostly refers to a viral infection (several different ones) just not as bad as influenza or covid.
To my understanding he got his internet fame primarily from videos of giving people money. Never watched his stuff though.
“Politely” is doubtful. Same guy who told his advertisers to go fuck themselves and now is suing them for not using his platform anymore.
It also says he was in an accident. So he may not be physically capable.
NK will be their Japan, while Africa becomes a mishmash (again), China plays as a USSR type and Greece can be the new Italy.
Yes, and they remain a problem but a hell of a lot less of one than Facists.
First link is behind a paywall, second link doesn’t have anything about war crimes, third link is an academic paper talking about surrendering germans and how they were often killed by Canadian forces. It notes that killing of surrendering forces was an all participants type thing not entirely specific to Canada though. Even notes that Britain was particularly bad about surrendering enemies due to fake surrenders in the South African War just a decade or so before.
