Right. They throw away their documents, so EU countries have to document and fingerprint them again and also keep a database, preferably a shared one. Otherwise they just conveniently move from one country to another as there are close to n

The current war situation is quite convenient for the US. They watch the Russians screw themselves up in Ukraine while mostly supplying it with aging weapons that were mostly sitting around close to being decomissioned. O handy way to get r

Did you read up about MAD and how computers evolved because the US was calculating what to nuke in the USSR in the event of a nuclear strike? The point of nuclear deterrent is to have it, not to use it. If one has too much of it they'l
