Both Putin and Trump have started wars that they cannot win, and from which they cannot withdraw without an enormous loss of face.
The only difference is that Putin's war only effects Russia's economy, while Trump's war effects the whole world.
While I understand that Cuba is currently under the thumb of an oppressive communist dictatorship
How long (in decades) has the US had Cuba under sanctions? It is a hypothetical, but what do you think the country would have been like had those sanctions not existed?
He could get his Boring Company to lay the pipeline. I understand they are a very successful company when it comes to things like this.
More socialism? Nah, pass.
After the discovery of North Sea oil and gas, Britain (under Thatcher) decided to use the money raised to fund taxes for the well off, and essentially gut UK manufacturing.
The Norwegians decided that the best thing to do was to put the money that they raised into a sovereign wealth fund.
You might care to look at which country seems to be doing better...
For starters, there is no real entity called the "Palestinian" people.
Way to go in avoiding the question I put to you. There are people living in Gaza and the West Bank, who the majority of the world refer to as "Palestinians".
I'll ask again, after the bombing of Gaza and Jewish settler attacks on those on the West Bank, what do you expect these people to do?
He thinks reality is set by consensus.
No, he thinks (I use the word loosely) that reality is what he says it is, but only when he says it. Reality changes when he changes his mind.
The day there is a restoration of democracy in Iran, those 2 will have normal relations again.
It will also require a restoration of secular democracy in Israel.
Israel will have a forever war w/ the "Palestinians" - a fraudulent entity invented by the Soviets and Nasserite Egyptians in 1964.
So what would you suggest for Palestinian people? Where should they go, and what should be done with the land that they have vacated?
Is this just a euronationalism thing?
I am keeping a list of articles that show a number of European countries (not just EU ones) moving to increase their digital sovereignty. Given the behaviour of the American administration and the behaviour of American tech companies, this is hardly surprising.
Have to love the left, always wanting to seize and give away someone else's stuff.
Absolutely, much better for everyone if they just got rid of the peasants
How does the concept of God not feel right? Scientists have been working since the Miller-Urey experiment of 1952 to figure out a spontaneous way in which life can develop and they have come up with absolutely nothing.
Just because they have (so far) come up with nothing, does not mean to say that you can infer that it was a god what dunnit, and particularly the god of an obscure tribe from one planet in a galaxy which probably contains billions of planets, in a universe that contains billions of galaxies.
They are trying to make their exit from the MS crap easier. As the UK is not EU anymore, they have to do their own pushing.
Not necessarily true, the current government is trying to align with the EU much more, to minimise the clusterfuck that is Brexit. They could couple with other countries in the EU (and Europe more widely) that are moving away from MS and other US technologies.
Now we just need to dump Palantir and Xitter as well...
China isn't using the solar panels domestically. They're exporting them to Western nations that are foolish enough to waste money on these mostly ineffective means of power production.
Good morning Donald, shouldn't you be putting more words in CAPS in your post?
I wish they could both lose
I hope it runs forever, at least until both of them run out of money.
Orange man says solar, like windmills, doesn't work. So he is going to ban it from installing solar and make it drill for oil instead.
Over and over and over again he makes the kind of promises that investors use to make decisions and he's clearly lying but he somehow gets away with it. Traditionally doing something like that would be considered investment fraud. But he hasn't cost anyone any real money. Yet.
Lots of promises made and not kept, yet nobody pulling him up on it (from his own party at least)? Sounds like a description of Trump to me...
