I don't think you would be able to find anything as remotely moderate from the Taliban.

GDP is a measure of economic output. If your economy doesn't produce much then it is very hard to sustain a high intensity war.

I partly agree, in that by drip feeding Ukraine supplies we have given Russia time to build up their production rates. And my earlier comment was disputing the idea that drip feeing the supplies was some kind of intentional strategy. With r

> a literal terrorist group who committed a terrorist attack killing innocent civilians in Turkey just over one month ago! Not condoning the attack, but it's also not that black and white. It was an attack on a defense contractor.

I provided the link to hear it from the horses mouth. I'm not saying he's some wonderful person, but HTS's current agenda and recent actions are generally positive.

Russia has been gaining tiny amounts of ground while suffering massive losses. Latest estimates say casualties are currently averaging 1,500 a day. Total casualties since the start of the war (less than 3 years ago) are 600,000+. That'

Does this sound like ISIS to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Psg2MYoN1FU Yes, we should be cautious and skeptical, but the views currently being expressed by HTS are fairly moderate.

I think there is a good chance that reasonably fair elections get held. The government will likely take a moderate Islamic tone, with other religious groups coexisting. For now all the main players seem fairly chill.

I have heard this argument before, but I'm not particularly convinced. Either way pretty much all their pre-war modern equipment has already been destroyed. Now they're fighting with really old stuff like T-55s pulled from storage

I'm not sure there is any particular evidence for America or Israel aiding them. Also while originally an offshoot of Al Qaeda they do appear to have moderated significantly, working with many different religious and ethnic groups. I&#

> it means Ukraine has a real fighting chance to put them on their knees. Yes, and this point has been obvious to many for the last two years. The problem has been the west drip feeding aid into the largest war since WW2. We actually hav

> * could this be bad for Ukraine? Possibly, but it also shows how weak Russia is and how limited their presence in Syria was (because they sent everything to Ukraine). Russia can be defeated in Ukraine, but the west will need to step up

> I think when they say USA is the greatest democracy they re speaking of its size, land size. I would say it's the greatest based on how long it has endured for and the impact it has had on the world.

RocketLab (US/New Zealand) has been recovering stages for awhile. I think they're getting close to reflying one.

Their GDP per capita still lags significantly behind Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan who all aligned themselves with the west. Millions also died due to their rulers through the 20th century.

Most of NZ's agricultural produce is exported. There are probably some export markets that don't approve of the use of these antibiotics (if I was guessing probably the EU).

The earth hasn't always existed in its current state, or for that matter existed at all. Once day the earth will almost certainly cease to exist and intelligence will have to find a new home of some kind. We have probably got a couple

Do you realise how easy it would be for the US to defeat the depleted Russian military? The US Air Force alone could probably do it in a weekend. The war in Ukraine only drags on for so long because of the refusal of the west (partly tachni

There is evidence though. We've been using telescopes and listening to radio waves for decades but are yet to find anything substantial. We can at least conclude complex life is exceedingly rare.

It clearly hasn't been fine and beneficial. You can tweak and upgrade an aircraft to a certain extent, but they've pushed the 737 design too far.

You assume China can develop to western levels without a regime change.

Being sold in absolutely tiny volumes. The biggest issue is the need to build out an entirely new fueling infrastructure with a highly explosive fuel. EVs can piggyback off of the existing electrical grid.

Working in the best interests of shareholders is fine. The problem is that because Boeing has a US monopoly and global duopoly on large jets neither the regulators or customers are willing to punish them when they under perform. Boeing has

Isn't this to be expected? I probably made enough money to pay all my 2023 fines by midday on January 1st.

Not cursed, just poorly designed. They needed to go to clean sheet design.
