Only Belgium of those seems to rank worse than USA for cases/pop. Missing from your list seems to be Israel and Czech Republic (unless your limit for non-tiny country is 11 million). But even below USA, before we get to France, Italy

I appreciate you calling attention to a somewhat neglected retelling of the Pacific Theatre, but I was only referring to the US propaganda posters against Japan during the Second World War, not the wider context. It served as a decent exam

Belgium is also reporting any potential death linked to COVID-19 as that. Effectively, almost all excess death in Belgium is reported as COVID-19, leading to a far higher death per capita reporting from Belgium. Other countries usually re

Isn't it a bit early to say that? As I understand it, there is still so much we don't understand about SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. I am not sure whether the other strategies were better either, I think it would be a little prematur

The watchdog, the article refers to, Tilsynet med Efterretningstjenesterne, was created on 1 January 2014 as a result of the Snowden leaks in 2013. It is government run, but completely independent from the intelligence agencies and members

I thought the trope 'history is written by winners' is not just that the winners of the time when it happened, but more importantly the 'winners' (i.e. rulers) of the time when the story is being told. Our perception of

The first example makes me question the rest of their examples. I find it noticeable that they are reluctant to link to the fact checking they are referencing. The first mentions Politico contending that "one in third" is only &#

Norway kind of proves it is possible to make it work without the corruption. But Norway also proves that you need to lay the groundwork for that, before you lay any actual groundwork. I am not sure if these other oil producing states coul

Old non-US airlines definitely have their own systems. I know Scandinavian Airlines have their own, and it looks like Lufthansa and KLM-Air France do too.[0] I would be surprised if say British Airways didn't. [0] https://w

Sweden did not close its borders, although it followed EU guidelines to close its borders beyond the EU. The US closed its borders to certain areas of the world, which is what this is comparable to.
