Note that cutting the gas aligns with what the West citizen broadly want: Being forced faster than later to get rid of fossil energy. EU leaders certainly didn’t aim to secure the gas supply, they put all their might into sanctioning Russia

I agree, but I’m surprised that GP said that people in the West have lower IQ because pollution is vastly superior. If proven, it would help me choose a country to emigrate, but I recall dodgy plastics in Indonesia and smog in China, and I’

I don’t believe the situation is temporary. All major industries are cutting ties with Russia. SWIFT took 100 years to create, even if we allow it back, Russia won’t trust us, ever. It looks to me like our European leaders are escalating in

Note that Europe also bans media they don’t like, namely RT News and Sputnik, along with severe guidance on content with regular threats of fines or deplatforming, coming from governments such as CSA in France. Censorship has absolutely a r

Also, people discriminate so much on class that it may not be an advantage to be of a higher class. I can’t count the ways people invent criteria, such as “street cred”, to prefer some people upon others. “Humble”, “son of worker”, “comes f

I understand it is no pleasure for you and you have no wish to embrace the devil. But in the absence of a helping hand, lonely people rehearse the worst of their history. You can be the one who lends an ear. What would have helped me would

They might be happy that their carbon independence finally becomes a thing and that their doomsday finally reifies. Worsening the sanctions until Russia cuts the gas is exactly aligned with their view of the world, and the worst thing that

Also, remember that news only appear every 12hrs, for two reasons: Individual advances are not relevant; and media agencies (govts, presidents, etc) know that news don’t penetrate if there are more than 1 lesson per 12hrs. So, let that phon

It’s also very American, and more broadly related to the English language. French people speak with a more similar voice between men and women; US people, to me, seem to accentuate their deep voice to borderline ridiculousness when their vo

If you are afraid of the lack of rule of law, there are not many countries we need to avoid. Japan has a 99.995% of inculpation after their police interview. And that has to do with the fact that their interview can lawfully last for 22 day
