We know exactly how the war would go without the external support because that's how the war started. Russia picked the time, date, place and had the initiative, Ukraine wasn't convinced that Russia was going to invade despite US

I'm sure there is lots of propaganda at play, but it doesn't change the basic numbers of Russia having over three times Ukraine's population and nearly ten times their GDP, also a much larger military with a much larger milit

Long form tweets. Short form tweets mean readers need to interpret what is said in good faith, but some people struggle with that and since the algorithms love controversy those are the tweets that often end up receiving disproportionate a

Honestly, I'm not sure why these articles are getting posted recently or what point they're trying to make so maybe this post is besides the point, if so then ignore it. I didn't look super deep into this but I quickly looked

We should talk about the many abuses and injustices committed by the US, but why should every thread criticising Russia or China also be a thread criticising the US? If someone is genuinely concerned about the abuses of the US government t

Same for me, I can see my wallpaper and desktop icons. Very strange. Wonder if this is a risk for being exploited somehow to take photos of people's desktops

Democracy doesn't work well when you're realistically only given only two options to vote for (or two and a half in the UK), and the bulk of the media is owned by a small group of extremely rich people who use their media empire t

I was literally trying to find this yesterday but couldn't remember the name. Thank you! It's nice seeing some of the stuff I wrote on less trafficked pages or far from the centre on popular pages is still there after ten years!

If a past infection with Delta doesn't protect against Omicron should we expect an infection by Omicron to protect against Delta or any future strains evolved from it?

I know very little about Serbian politics, is this genuinely gone for good or will they just try to reintroduce it later or by other means?

Stealth isn't about being undetectable, stealth aircraft have always been detectable, the Serbs shot down a F-117 22 years ago, Iraqi search radars picked them up 30 years ago. But even though they are detectable they can make the ene
