Good bye, USA. In 20-30 years all those celebrating this decision will be sitting in the assisted living facilities wondering who will be repairing the robots that are taking care of their parents. Demography is destiny.

If that’s your summary of knowledge, it’s misleading and lacks nuance. GI Bill did not exclude blacks, it’s educational institutions that chose either accept or decline those funds for black applicants. Still in South there was about a hund

A billionaire with surveillance tech manufacturing, French ex-military spook, and a wealthy Pakistani with British government connections. Possible foul play? Nope, not a chance. Everyone’s taking about a joystick.

The problem is that some people decide to steal cars and face no consequences. What’s the car theft levels in Seoul compared to Baltimore? Should we expect them to be different? Why?

Do you have any tangible data to back up the first sentence or is it just a desire to avoid facing hard reality?

The US needs no external actor to “divide us”, its body politic excels in this task like no other. That’s how the system is built.

That’s not the privilege but the consequence of unfortunate experience with shoplifting and groups more likely to perpetrate it. Crime statistics is hateful and racist, no doubt. But it drives bias which serves as first order simplified dec

spoilers Not only she’s a warrior but she’s single-handedly killed a snow troll who was thrashing the rest of her male companions. In LOTR it took 8 males to deal with a cave troll. She’s a strong independent woman indeed.

Would you mind explaining how - even in this fantasy world - people living in closed societies would get wildly different features? Somehow elves are different from human who are different from gnomes - it there are 2-3 afro elves or afro-

Very much like Hawaii and Florida, weren’t they? Weren’t those countries ruled for decade or so by dictators who ceased power in late 20s? Didn’t Soviet actually organized elections and then their parliaments voted to join the USSR? I’m sur

Why do you call it a civil war? In a civil war two parties fight for dominance over the country - England’s and Russian’s civil wars, more than two hundred years apart, are great example. In that war, South did not want to dominate North bu

Interesting development. As I’m heading to the local 5 minute hate meeting, I want to get current in “Who,Whom” hierarchy. Can anyone help me figure it out? Is it only applying to Russians these days or there are other exceptions? Can all

Kosovo? Iraq? Libya International law? Trying putting all these into a single sentence. Unfortunately in the last 20 years West lost all claims for upholding “international law” or “rules”.

NATO was created to keep US in, Germany down and Russia out. EU army would never work, unless it’s just a job program for underprivileged youths.

Where were you for the last 8 years when the war crimes were committed in the East of Ukraine? West didn’t talk about it, CNN wasn’t putting up banner “We are Donbass” but bombing and shelling of the cities was happening nonetheless. Get of

Your people, whether you feel like they are yours is a different question, a fighting and dying. Many believing they do it for their country. You just want easy life for yourself. Nothing is wrong with it, but for the rest of the world you

Considering that there are millions of Russians there and 10-15 millions of Russian-Ukrainians, yes. South and East will not only accept but accept it gladly. West and center is a different story but then the area was always controlled by o

Did you actually listen to the speech? There was none of it. He stated that Soviet National republics were created by taking historical Russian territory and giving them to newly formed states. All true.
