I mean, it's California. Using it as a measure of American quality of life is practically cheating, their local authorities are basically 99% batshit insane progressives.

What @Sanchez said, let's keep it on topic. I mean I personally hope for Indian weapons provided to Armenia to suck but that's just patriotic interest not mockery. I wouldn't count on it but it would make fighting a hell of a lot easier. And unfortunately it looks like a fight is imminent...

The wording is funny. Yeah, in “preparation for an offensive”. It’s not like they started arming people there specifically so Armenia could try and push Azerbaijan into responding. Armenians really don’t appreciate how lucky they are to be able to break agreements and still have people...

I know that but her symbol was not that of the crescent moon and star.

The crescent and star is not a symbol of Artemis, her symbol is a bow and arrow (which makes sense because she's a goddess of the hunt) which sometimes gets confused with a crescent moon and arrow due to how simplistically it was drawn. The late Byzantine era also used a moon and sun symbol IIRC...

I'm trying to be nice here but, ahem, what kind of engineering expertise could Saudi Arabia potentially contribute that the other 3 don't already have? Their only card to play is deep pockets and I don't think the other 3 are that desperate for cash.

I remember an interview with an Azerbaijani commander who reflected on the second Qarabag war and he said that one of our army's weak points and where the vast majority of our losses came from (especially early on) is Armenian artillery. So here's hoping that our army has remedied that weakness...

EU does a lot of stupid things, doesn't mean you must follow them. You might be confusing demoralization with desensitization. Disney is run by crazy ideologues nowadays but I suspect this has more to do with their increasingly awful financial situation. A lot of Disney projects have been...

And now it makes sense. Well played, Russia, well played.

No offense bud but is this your first time on the Internet or something? Videos of violent encounters going down have been around for years. And frankly I'd rather have news media post direct proof of what has gone down than trying to BS me with some mealy-mouthed "interpretation" of what went...

Whatever one's personal opinion of it may be, ICC is still considered one of the top arbiters of international law. We took Armenia there over other shit and got fairly impartial results so I don't see why we can't take old Vagif there too.

AKP did withdraw from the Istanbul Convention. I sometimes think that women's rights laws in the US are a bit too much but then I see this and consider that not having them could be much worse.

The only thing people will remember about Barbie 3 months from now is Ryan Gosling as He's Literally Me, sorry, I mean Ken.

His expression never changes so how can you tell?

At best you could argue that nuking two cities was excessive when the US could've just bombed one and then dropped another one in a more desolate area to make the point that "yeah, we've got more where that came from". But that was more Truman being annoyed that Germany had already surrendered...

It does annoy me how almost every single Turkish character in Western movies is depicted as a gangster of some kind but at least in the case of John Wick 4 almost everyone agrees that this dude was easily the best part of the movie. Scott Adkins was great in the role, I thought he was just a...

Wait a minute, PLO and anti-Arab? How the flip does that work?

I'm assuming now that we have more or less come to an acceptable agreement with the EU and Armenia in regards to the separatists in Qarabag, it's time to start pushing the Russians out.

Maybe or maybe not. Man will do the craziest shit to stay in power. Another worrying note in that article is the comment that Russia has been providing gas to Turkey on a credit. If true, that is going to MASSIVELY bite Turkey in the ass in the future.

Hersh's story makes more sense. F-16s wouldn't have been nearly enough especially since certain US lobby groups are already trying to put obstacles in the way. That being said even $13 billion is a relatively modest sum in the grand scheme of things. It will save Erdogan for what, maybe two years?
