And the media is trying hard to hide it. You won’t see such videos on news stations, while the October 7 attrocities have been shown on repeat for months. It’s a shame that the coverage of this is so biased. The same news channels that are ridiculing the Russians when they talk about nuking...

The level of radicalism and fanatism in some corners of the Israeli society can sometimes make the Taliban look moderate in comparison. This is Russian-level dementia here.

Good. Whenever there is talk about the use of nukes, it means the Russians are getting desperate and are no longer confident about the situation on the front. So let’s hope more and more talk about nukes in the following days.

Wrong. The economic uncompetitiveness means the military option is destined to fail. Wrong again. If I were the leader of Russia, I would set it on a path to become the wealthiest and most developed country in the world in 50 years time, but their low-IQ leaders are unable to do that. Wrong...

That’s because they are led by stupid people. An intelligent person would understand that the main concern for a counry like Russia should be to develop its economy and improve the standard of living and the education of its people. Once the country gets strong enough economically, the influence...

I totally agree with you. If the West is to collapse, it will happen because of overtaxation. If a great power wants to usurp the West, all it needs to do is to offer a low tax business friendly environment and attract investment. Productive people are fed up with the high taxation, and this is...

You are missing the big picture. You assume that these countries are safe by default, so it is easy for them. But the reality is that they’ve built this safety net by allowing huge amounts of foreign investments into their countries and getting themselves heavily integrated in the global...

You can call it “easy mode” if you like, but Iraq and Iran have plenty of oil and yet still lost the game on “easy mode”. Saddam was a nationalist and Khomeini a theocrat, and both had lots of oil, yet both failed. When you lead a country, you must achieve the maximum possible results under...

Actually there are not that many countries that achieved this, but there are some, and the UAE is the best example. I consider the UAE leaders to be some of the best statesman of the post WW2 world. The UAE and Singapore are the examples I always use when it comes to good leadership, when small...

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...
