That article is terrible and Mearsheimer is now a laughingstock. Not just because he was totally wrong with his claims about Russia and Ukraine, but because he refuses to admit it. Note that realism isn't about being realistic but is a

The parent comment is conspiratorial. The Iraq invasion was stupid and immoral but there's no evidence it had anything to do with currency plans. The Euro is indeed most likely to overtake the US dollar (although not anytime soon) but

I don't know why you claim the oligarchs are western backed when they're locals. Or why you claim Putin is a departure from Yeltsin, Oligarchs told Yeltsin to appoint Putin as his chosen successor in exchange Putin protected him f

Yes much much higher. Trump was praising a violent coup. Trump was singled out, he was allowed to get away with shit for far too long because Twitter didn't want to deal with the hassle that banning him would cause even though he broke

Twitter censors liberals and leftists all the time. They just don't raise aa big of a stink about it as conservatives. Part of it is working the refs and part is the large increase in racist and conspiracy theories among right wing peo

It does sound a bit like fascist nonsense. On the other hand I do have to admit to people often become stronger to when they need to in order to survive. Look at the Ukrainians. Still I'd rather they were living calm and peaceful lives

Rust seems like a good c alternative for people who haven't already switched to c++ (and for people who have). For people who can switch to a higher level (ie Garbage Collected) languages what does go have over Java or C# or python?

These things are far from predictable. Now you could say we should have known that possibility existed and should still get a good amount of blame from not preventing it but no one is a fortuneteller

> Rumour has it that the US Military had some involvement in the Iraq war. Yes but their point is that the US army didn't kill most of those civilians. Now you can make moral arguments that we deserve some to most of the blame for d

heterodox views like racism? fascism? violence? I'm not saying that every time I hear about someone being banned its for these reasons but its often enough that I become suspicious it may be someone trying to argue for "The Bell C

Lots of people on the left face moderation. Often even unfair moderation. They just don't whine about it as much.

It's very hard to estimate casulties in Russia's war on Ukraine but I think it's possible for it already to be over 200k soldiers and civilians, definitely over 100k since over 30k civilians died in Mariupol (likely many more

Might theoretically work as long as you have no Trumpers/MAGA types on the council. If you put them on the council they'll try to ban their political opponents and allow every kooky antivax and racist far right tweet.
