And they do, at least over here in Europe right now.

What is the article even talking about? Earlier in the war, you could clearly see US KC-135 Stratotankers flying from the UK to the Polish/Ukrainian border and then flying along the border. Now, I guess the USAF isn't flying fuel

>I don't mind Russian expansion unless there are dead people in its wake. Well, you can't have one without the other, there's clear evidence of that going back decades.

There's a series of videos that document how Macron talked to Putin (including the famous one where Putin cuts him short because he has to train for ice hockey), and Macron clearly says he has the message from Biden that he'd meet

So, uhm, which country in central/eastern Europe hosts NATO nuclear missiles again? That's just whataboutism.

And yet, the USA did not invade Cuba or press a regime change after the CMC. There was a negotiated settlement where the USA withdrew their missiles from Turkey, left Castro alone and that settled the issue. NATO never deployed nukes in any

Russia has no say over Eastern Europ and ex-USSR countries. If they want to join NATO, there is nothing Russia can do. Justifying a war based on this is just very wrong.

With a couple of FSRU terminals coming online during the next year, Europe might be OK, but it's going to be a problem. Storage is high for the season, and growing, but total gas delivered is very low. When the winter cold comes, stora

>We need serious attempts and ongoing discussion about how to stop military escalation. Bit late in the day, isn't it? The EU leaders were trying to talk to Putin till their eyes glassed over and Biden was willing to talk to Russia

Didn't impact me at all. Inflation does but since I earn above-average, not to a painful degree. I don't have plans to go on holiday to the USA in the next year or so, don't plan to buy a Tesla, maybe a new Mac which is going

Not so fast. The ECB should have raised rates like the Fed, but didn't to accommodate the Southern EMU members. If what you are claiming was true, the ECB would have just gone ahead and leave the south to fend for itself. Instead their

Same. And as an older guy, it's even harder to wear something else than light grey to dark grey. At least at home and outside of work, I try to buy as many colorful (sometimes oriental) cloths as possible. I wonder whether our infatuat

But a lot of people actually want companies to produce as cheap as possible - be it because they are poor or because they dislike regulatory interventions for ideological reasons. Not saying this is great and I try to buy higher-quality goo

Well, I don't want to lecture you about your country's history, so please don't take it the wrong way - but IIRC, the Ceaușescu regime was showing signs of fatigue in 1989 - and during that year, the wind of change was blowin

Neptune has a 150kg warhead, and the sat images show craters the size of a Suchoi, so ~20m(?). I am really not an expert but that seems a bit of a huge hole for a relatively modest warhead. The Hrim-2 (Grim/Grom) reportedly has a 500kg

I doubt those tourists on the beach actually realize the war could come to Crimea in a larger scale and that the bridge would be a prime target - many will just see great balls of fire near their beach and conclude it's better to go ho

No, no I wouldn't disagree they should be involved, I maybe misunderstood and believed you'd make the kid do the whole cleaning as a lesson.

More gatekeeping, huh? Why don't you tell this to the producers of serrated knives? I guess they would want to know that they are doing this completely wrong.

Yes and no. Punishing your kid for some dumb but innocent action has the potential to make them too cautious. Additionally, they might damage the toaster because they have no experience on how to properly open and clean it and that would ma

Complete nonsense, blasting something out of proportion to fulfill some elitism. If you have handled blunt knives for years, you are accustomed to handling them and have muscle memory. You know how to use them, and the blades of most blun

Berlin as a yardstick is very problematic. The western part used to be an economic backwater and for a long time after reunification, the city hardly attracted people to live there. It's only in the last 15y that Berlin has been growin

And you can't discount the possibility that it's not housing that's depressing fertility but the economic situation of young couples. Scandinavia is comparatively rich and has great social benefits. Italy, Greece, Spain are a
