Kind of crass for The Telegraph to write this when there are Ukrainian men getting shot by Ukrainian border guards for daring to cross into Republic of Moldova, but that's on brand for this media entity. From here [1]: > A body with

It depends on the kid and on the type of “immersion” (for lack of a better word). I grew up in Romania in the ‘90s, when we had 2 hours of English per week starting with the 5th grade. I turned up fine when it comes to speaking/writing

Not the OP, but we lost the spirit of community. We’ve got way over board when promoting individualism as a way of life.

You provably missed the “is about to replace” part, not sure the OP was aware of what would be coming when he moved in.

As far as I can tell the US is fully, and I mean fully, on Israel’a side, even though the genocide now happening in Gaza is a very real thing.

Reading your comment I also realized that something like this would also be quite useful in the eventuality of a grand war in Eastern Europe (let’s say) and of the sudden necessity that would arise at that point of sending big and heavy stu

Thanks! Thought for a while that that book only dealt with Cold War-era propaganda (saw KGB in your comment), but if it includes newspaper writers/columnists who are in the Russians’ payroll right now then all the better, as I said, I’

Do you happen to know the name of some of those writers that are sponsored by the Russians? So I can read them, of course, I’m tired of the Western-supported writers.

5 rounds on side seems excessive, but maybe this is just how things are done nowadays.

Interesting. As a direct neighbor of Ukraine this hybris doesn’t sit all that well to me, but it is good to know, regardless.

Do people in the US genuinely believe that? Makes me think of that the Germans thought of the Soviets before June of 1941.

None of us is "marketable" because we're humans, we're not companies, nor services nor other such thing. Also, good luck switching careers when you're past 35 years of age or even 40. Granted, back in my 20s I did g

All the best to you, just wanted to add that it’s interesting that I’ve read similar opinions about the Russian SOF coming from Russian grunts, too, so I guess this is a general feeling among the world’s forces. If it matters I personally a

Peace-time armies will not ask for that, that’s for sure, but when a real war is on the table (like it looks to soon be the case here in Europe) then things change.

Conscript armies do win grand wars, but I agree that some current military leaders may not want to divide the military pie.

You’re looking at it through the “money-only” (for lack of a better word) perspective when it comes to China’s geopolitical decisions, which in my view is entirely wrong. Don’t get me wrong, I see your view as understandable, because I assu
