Russia's expansion is definitely a national security thread to Germany. The thing is that Germany didn't believed that Russia would expand. It was a gross miscalculation on Germany's side. Believing promises and neglecting ca

Do we really need a single standard? I and many others use multiple messaging services and it’s fine. Each has their pros and cons. I can also contact people in multiple ways if one service fails.

Proposed mechanism: You declare the value of your land, but the government can buy it at the declared price if they want to. This also makes land acquisition for infrastructure straightforward and transparant. There is a risk that the gover

The product of tech companies is the tech itself. For oil, the tech is a means and can be imported. Drilling oil is technically complicated but you can hire foreign companies to do the hard work, just like most African nations. Russia relie

Absolute truth is not relevant because 99.99% of what you need to sustain yourself is physical. It’s practically 100%. Maintaining BTC itself requires physical inputs and physical property rights. You need fiat to buy energy. Your house wi

Fiat is indeed based on trust. The trust that the government remain functioning. Fiat is a government backed claim on economic production. That’s not trivial, because the government is the sole arbiter and enforcer of property rights. Fiat

You need to adjust the ultimatum game to make itsimilar to the examples given in the article. Your choices are actually: 1. Do nothing. 2. Play the original ultimatum game. The question now is: Is 1 more ethical than 2?

What’s happening to the Uyghurs is definitely a humanitarian catastrophe. The Chinese are eradicating muslims from their territory and if the Muslim world are not willing to do anything about it, than there is little the West can do. You ca

That’s why, as a westerner, I consider the Uyghur issue not to be ‘our’ problem. It’s terrible what’s happening there, but there are more than 2 billion muslims in the world who can do something about it.

The Baltics are very vulnerable and with Finland nearby they can easily be supported. Looking at Russias performance against Ukraine Finland and Sweden alone would easily hold them off. Nato won’t need to spend much resources to protect Fin

Unless you want to become a super model, it's very unlikely that you have to compete with many ridiculous good looking people. If you're fit, clean, and well dressed you're already at the top in most industries.

I don’t really see why people think this article promotes nuclear war. It does help to explain a lot of geopolitical events like why Russia feels insecure even with thousands of nukes. The fact is that things aren’t over after throwing you

The issue is not that we don't understand Russias security concerns. Everyone understands that now. We just can't comply with Russias demand. Russia wants write the security policies of over 100 million people. No one is going to

I see a lot of medium size businesses. Im looking for furniture and I’m getting a lot of ads from smaller furniture brands on insta. Some are pretty nice. They are not as small as let’s say some local mattress store, but they are too small

What I have noticed about western photographers is that they approach photography as if they are painting. Carefully thinking about the composition and techniques. Make sure everything is perfect according to a vision. Japanese photographer

I also thought the Ukraine as a neutral independent buffer state would be best for everyone. The problem is that Russia won’t allow Ukraine to be independent. It has to be a puppet state at least. There is a deleted Russian state news artic
