My memory of Warsaw was a very interesting traffic deadlock around a block with two roundabouts in the city centre. There were simply too many cars around that block so they effectively locked each other up. That was ten years ago though so

Yeah, i understand Ukraine has much stricter rules. Of course out of necessity, and things could change also here in case of such an emergency. But after all, the main point of a conscriptions (or any military) is not to kill Russians. It i

I can avoid military service by emigrating. Still don't understand your point. Also, with the scale proposed in these countries it is in practice not really mandatory. If you don't want to you can say no. And certainly it is only

I live in Scandinavia. I never saw a conflict with those values. On the contrary, human rights is one of the values we have to defend. There is also a big chunk of collectivism here. You don't only have rights, you have responsibilitie

Can you elaborate, I did not understand anything about what you are referring to in your comment. Isn't fighting back what is happening now in Ukraine? Is that silly you mean? And yeah the military manouevers I guess are a bit differen

I think economic decline is regularly considered the best time to start a new business? Good time to find people to hire and work hard to prepare for better times.

What country are you referring to? Here in Scandinavia the true enemy has unveiled itself in the last couple of years. And don't try to fool me to think that living under Russian oppression is better than "liberal democracy"

Ukraine did not dissolve. In Northen Europe we have seen enough the last couple of years in Izium, Bucha, Kherson, Mariupol to understand that fighting back is preferable to murder, rape and every war crime in the book. And we prefer a stab

I think states are more and more learning to navigate under the nuclear umbrella. The method is small doses of escalation. Which means that it is never the time to press the button. We have lots of conflicts involving nuclear states (USA, I

There are many ways to loose control of your company without selling it upfront. For example if you take money from an minority investor with the promise of an IPO (so they can make profit from their minority share). After the company goes
