Ukraine is lost. Russia too. Ramp up defense to the max and stay with it. For a long, long time. Do show strength, that is of utter importance. Do not threaten their geostrategically important entry points they already took back in the last

Of course, Dr. Seuss should have been more sensitive back then and shown more real Japanese, not atrocious caricatures. For example this one: [NSFW and especially not for the faint hearted] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

Yes, but I'm a bit cross, unlike the Ottomans back then the Russians have nukes, which may ruin my own comfortable and painless fading into oblivion as a German, on my Ottoman in my backyard garden.

So they trust article 5 NATO and know what they do? Which may have been a bold but fine move in 2014. As I wrote in another thread: >>Actually, anyone who didn't buy Francis Fukuyama could look up what would happen on a handfull

Actually, anyone who didn't buy Francis Fukuyama could look up what would happen on a handfull of maps, diagrams and statistics. Even the official Russian ones. Russia is landlocked or easily cut off. Russia has vast empty stretches of

A reply without any inclination of doing basic stuff like googling 'History of Agricultural subsidy' or at least skimming the links in my last post. Sweet, a downvote trap. Well go ahead.

Yes, but who will have the money to buy your 'overproduction', for what will he buy it and how will it be 'pretty easily' shipped? https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/05/20/food-price-spikes-and

I'm more concerned about the probable loss of wheat supplies to the near east, especially Turkey and Egypt. But of course,they could just eat Revani or Basbousa instead.

Yes, but where did I say it would trigger worse things than NATO article 4? That is, NATO article 5. This is just in your head, not mine. For me, it's all about the sheer fun of the coming horror and dangers of foreseeable Russian hybr

Oh, that? That's simply the strategy of Mad Men. The problem is, he really is mad and has thousands of nukes. The self induced detachment from reality like Angela Merkel suspected in 2014. In reality a corrupt second class paranoid war

It will probably get even better. Just wait until something really ugly happens. Such as the 'accidental' shooting down of aircraft over Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory... https://flightaware.com/live/fli

Oh, just in case. How will NATO respond if one of its members invokes NATO Article 5 in the near future because of cyberattacks against it? Kinetic attacks, of course, are easy to classify, even if they happened accidentally. For example ne

Yes, but compare that with the two-thirds TV content that is empty. If the commercials were of better quality (script, directing and so on), the problem would solve itself.

So his problem is, it's too much work to stay out of, mainly legal, trouble? The whole art market is a rigged game on long bets. But at last, there is a lot of money floating around since 2009 that needed to be put somewhere.

As long as he confines himself to the role of executive producer, doesn't direct or write the script, but does a good job of filling those roles with competent people, it could be entertaining. I'm fine with that and he may let h

No fear, it's just a mild and hygienic form of compulsive hoarding. Instead of cluttering up the house your physical form is living in, you do it with the mental doll house in your head you're really living in.

Funny thing with these mental games is, machines are supposed to make 'moral' decisions, where humans don't stand a chance to do so, because it's beyond their physical capabilities to react fast enough and simply natura

I'm burned by social sciences so I'll wait for a replication study. But as an aside, grinding maggots is not exactly my idea of sadism. I prefer when they feel physical pain. Or at least think they look like they do. Although, men

I like the idea of adding rather vague threats, compared to kinetic weapons, with often not clearly or quickly identifiable causers/perpetrators as a possible justification for a nuclear weapon use. Increases the fun and excitement. Sh
