Push comes to shove, we are all human beings in the end...we have to help each other out wherever possible past the tough times of any (esp. political) relationship. Such things (regular people solidarity on the ground) help the cause for a better friendlier future.

There is deeper somewhat related layer that I am seeing worldwide (India has its own unique variant). That is....psychologically maybe about as low as 10% being radical enough can change (over enough time + intensity) the control and larger opinion and tolerance/norms of the whole society...

The episodes at large have been quite good to watch.

It need more prudent energy policy (regarding oil and gas domestically) for Canada and US. The attempted switch to complete green (pretty much overnight) is fraught with too much hokey doke fantasy stuff. Only with that stuff squared away more pragmatically, will there be enough fiscal room to...

Congrats to 🇵🇭 and 🇹🇷

Very sad news @Jackdaws et al.

Excellent news. @Joe Shearer what are your thoughts?

For all interested in China observing @Joe Shearer @Blackbeardsgoldfish et al. Regd Mainland Chinese impression of the UKR - RUS war.... Compare and contrast these two videos if interested and time permits: Also consider the segment of populations represented in both (both not reflective...

Do we have an estimate out of number of POWs currently held by either side?

Yup complicated issue as expected behind the scenes. Regarding the potential hostage situation (or rescue and repatriation process that arises from any scenario)...I would think ROK govt ought to provide all assistance as normal to its citizen in such situation. But in this case since he...

OK man, this is going off topic into TR politics. I'm just saying lot of people dont understand Indian system....and lot of people don't understand Turkish one either. So there is misunderstanding in applying one to another and trying to rank it.

Anything I will say contrary to this will be "western propaganda". Or the whole HDP = front for PKK will come out (in fact it already has from lool). i.e any HDP person saying something different to what you just said is some agent or agenda merchant I guess right? (Defeating whole purpose of...
