That would be amazing if they manage to hold it. Even he attempt itself is a world record, in the sense that never since WW2 a country considered “great power” has had their border breached by the military of a much smaller and weaker country. Ukraine keeps humiliating Russia, and capturing a...

You have no idea what good statesmanship is if you admire Putin. He is an utter failure. A country with the resources of Russia should have had the standard of living of Canada or Norway, if it was led by a good leader for two decades. Instead, Russia is becoming poorer, it is engaged in a...

I agree that Russia improved its capabilities during the war, as combat experience always plays a role. They are now using drones quite successfully and have improved their targeting capabilities. But the same things are true for the Ukrainians as well. They also have new capabilities, and are...

I don’t see the Russian fine military crafts in this war. After two years of fighting, they have barely advanced on their weaker neighbor, which was supposed to capitulate in a week. I would say the US invasion of Iraq showed fine military craft, where they achieved air superiority immediately...

Yes, still better than convicts and rapists, like in the Russian army.

It took Sarah 35 years to discover his/her/their gender. You can’t take such a person seriously.

Of course it is a lower level escalation, but Israel is showing that it is willing to raise the stakes if necessary, and this will make other leaders show restraint. So far, the only entity that dared to hit Israel hard was Hamas on October 7, and many of their leaders are already dead. The...

By assasinating leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah, Israel is sending a strong message to Iran. It shows that Israel is willing to assasinate leaders if it has to, unlike other countries who are fearful to cross this line. Netanyahu is power hungry, and for him losing power is the equivalent of...

The Iranian response will most likely be symbolic, just like last time. They don’t want to inflict any serious damage to Israel, because this is exactly what Netanyahu is looking for, as a reason to escalate. Haniyeh’s killing shows just how potent Israel is compared to Iran, and Iranian...

But I doubt China can find enough support in Taiwan to be able to pull this off. Taiwan has broken away from China a much longer time ago than Ukraine from the Soviet Union, and the sea between them cuts ties much faster. In Ukraine’s Eastern parts that are close to Russia, there was still a lot...

Exactly. Totally agree with you. Trying to land on Taiwan would be a disaster for China, and their chances of success would be close to zero. And the deception games no longer work in the age of of live data from satellites. Any attempt at a landing would be easily discovered by US...

Very unrealistic. Nothing like this happened in Kyiv when Russia invaded, and there is no reason to believe that the authorities in Taiwan would lose control without the Chinese army landing on their shores.

Corruption is always a problem, but corruption is something that affects all countries and societies, at least to some extent. The problem is, when a country has too many poor people, corruption tends to be entrenched, because the resources are not enough for everyone, and those with power...

I know about your country‘s demographics, and the only way to stop the population from expanding is to convince people to have less children. It is easy to put all the blame on corruption, but a high birth rate has consequences, and poverty is one of them. A family with many children has less...

I agree with you here, the Europeans have terrible policies regarding migration, and most of the blame for the migration problems lies with the host countries. Policing the Mediterranean is complicated because of the current laws. Once a ship in distress is found, you need to bring those...

First of all, you should notice that the countries with high population growth are generally the poorest countries. Even in Africa, the wealthier countries have a normal birth rate (Seychelles, South Africa or Morocco), while the highest birth rates are in the poorest countries (Niger, Chad, DR...

I don’t deny the usefulness of fossil fuels when it comes to obtaining quick, stable and cheap energy. From a cost perspective, they are the best source of energy, but the excessive burning of fossil fuels at a global level will have negative consequences for the whole world in the long term...

The excessive birth rate and population growth. While all other regions of the world have a relatively stable population (some are still slowly growing, while some are even decreasing), Africa continues to grow its population at an unsustainable rate.

The reality is that the only big region that has reduced its emmissions in the last 30 years is Europe. Also, the EU has increased its renewable power generation at a very fast pace in the last two years, in order to replace the gas imported from Russia. The EU is the global leader when it comes...
