It may appear so from the west for someone who is mostly depending upon major Western news sources, but in the larger context, many countries including Israel, Mexico, South Africa, Pakistan and many major Middle Eastern Nations are refusin

Isn't it routine for Olympic host nations to appeal for an "Olympic Truce" for the duration of the olympics to various nations which are/may get involved in military combat at that time. https://en.m.wikipedia

Angola was a Portuguese colonial possession, and the question is if this sort of warm welcome was ever extended to those people of Angola who were under distress, who experienced subjugation under Portuguese rule itself. What is happening i

Will Portugal do the same for Angolans?

Most countries outside the US and Western Europe has been mostly measured in their statements on today's events, see for eg Israel, Turkey etc.

Also Serbia possibly no need to invade since they are a loyal Russian ally anyway since quite a long time.

Germany invaded Austria and Czechoslovakia just before WW2, and the allies didn't do much. Only when Germany invaded Poland did they declare war on Germany.

Many NATO members have strong enconomic links with Russia. For example Russia is building nuclear power plants in Turkey and Hungary, which are in very advanced state of construction for example.

From the article I came to know that Victor Korchnoi passed away recently. Was the news of his passing featured in HN?

But what do you replace Alcohol with, Soda? Thats not good for health either. May be tea is a good substitute for social ocassions.

How alcoholism can be triggered in some one is also not known. That is also an additional risk factor in every single drink consumed, perhaps?

But of relative safety viz-a-viz regular cigarettes: is it not possible to assume that e-cigs are safer than regular cigs?

Assuming stupidity/incompetence of an adversory is usually not a solid analysis, if one does that and then the adversory suddenly starts pulling smart moves, one could be at serious disadvantage. In general though, I do feel much of we

Why do we have to assume that? He may have a brilliant think tank obscured from public gaze. I think it would be naive to assume that he didn't have a close inner circle precisely for that.

Why is that so? Mafia can hire good analysts and theorists, and try to formulate policies that lead to their long term survival.

Not just that, see how Louis Aggasiz's reputation is being hounded down in recent years. Renaming schools and pulling down statues of him.

What if there is unrest in Mexico, will US send troops to Mexico to bring order? There are plausible situations in which this may happen.

It sort of reinforced the stereo types of how Stalin and his circle behaved. Stalin had psychopath traits, but what's shown in the film isn't remotely anything like how things may have happened. I highly recommend Stephen Kotkin&#

But is China really threating the US directly in anyway through military confrontation? Taiwan, China sea matters are localised to the close neighborhood of China. Does the US desire peaceful coexistence with China or not? Reading some of t

May be if granted a buffer zone of influence, Russia will be a reliable partner to Europe. To me it is Europe (and the US) that is picking ideological battlegrounds, and showing eagerness to start a new cold war.

Yes, I view any kind of "story telling" as a dark pattern, in anything other than works of fiction. "Storytelling" is a bad way to argue any point.

Even most BBC documentaries are seriously flawed. Nature documentaries especially seems to use lot of fake "natural" footage.
