When did the US invade Syria? How much of it did they annex?

Nope it’s ad hominem and a propaganda technique used when your argument is flimsy. There’s nothing essential about it, you could discuss the merits of Ukraine on its own but instead you had to try to obfuscate and distract by expanding to Y

I’m not downplaying, I disagree with characterising it as an armed coup but figured there’s no point in even talking to you about that. So all you’ve got left is some whataboutery? I’m guessing from your tone you thing NATO involvement in Y

So if a country disagrees with the political situation of a neighbour an acceptable response is to annex territory and then launch a full scale invasion and attempt to decapitate their leadership?

Ah it’s Ukrainian leaders fault that they were invaded and had their territory annexed? It’s not barbarism it’s realism, might I’d right etc?

So what military block did Ukraine join prior to Russia annexing its territory?

He seems to be labouring under the misapprehension that Putin would tolerate a prosperous de-Russified Ukraine. He must never have read any of Putin’s speeches about the glory of the USSR and how it was a mistake to allow Ukraine to be sepa

I love when people say the USA or UK pushed this war. Russia tried to perform a decapitation attack on Ukraine and failed. There was no reasonable cause for this, they just thought they could get away with it and keep Ukraine as a vassal st

I think it’s pretty clear now why they wanted to join NATO, the same reason Finland, Estonia, Lithuania etc wanted to join, Russia hasn’t given up on restoring the Russian Empire.

Can’t speak for the rest of Europe but if the Irish DPC put Facebook out of business it would be seen as a massive financial own goal by most of the Irish electorate.

I think this was the entire point of this study. The interesting and positive experience is what knocks people out of their depression. It’s not that drug experiences are particularly magical in and of themselves, apparently getting anaesth

But it did also find that using Ketamine to treat depression had about the same efficacy as knocking them out and shooting saline into them. So maybe Ketamine does nothing and people just feel better when someone cares for them. Anyway in t

Facebook employs lots of people in Ireland, they don’t want them out of business.

I wish people would stop assuming that all politicians believe in the things they propose. Many are basically sociopaths who just agree with whatever gets them votes.

So using a country’s own legal system to protect the free expression rights of its citizens is imperialism? Feels like you might be debasing the word a bit there.

To be considered an invasive species requires that the species is introduced to an area, become overpopulated and harm the ecosystem. Which honestly describes humans pretty much everywhere…

Hang on, are you calling Jimmy Wales a western imperialist?

Thank you for helping me turn despair into joy. I was getting upset by all the crazy cultish assertions in this thread. This reminded me how funny it all is. Clearly so much emotion involved when people discuss diet!

Liberal democracies prosecute former leaders for crimes all the time. And civilised countries don’t need their citizens to be armed.

Doesn’t stop people like Pence and Lindsey Graham from cynically playing to the crowd by describing as outrageous charges that haven’t been made public yet

Global emissions are still going up.

I mean whatever about the physical reality, politically the ice sheet is guaranteed to melt. There is essentially zero chance of humans coordinating a global response to climate change that achieves anything until things get much much worse

They say they also clipped all whites above a certain level too. That’s just information that’s been destroyed and then invented by the AI right?

Curious, have you tried Co-pilot? The type of thinking and typing it saves me from are not trivial. It turns writing the remainder of a method into just pressing tab. Or completely writes test cases based on the case name. Or just suggests
