President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine’s partners “are afraid of Russia losing the war” and would like Kyiv “to win in such a way that Russia does not lose,” Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent....
This is true. Russia saber rattling about using nuclear weapons, doesn’t mean much. Putin knows this would not lead to victory and likely would end up with him losing power and likely life.
The scary time is what he will do when he will see his power slipping. Thankfully in 1992 Gorbachev managed to handle it peacefully. Hopefully when it happens it will end up similarly.
When you talk to Slovakians they say that his death would be one of the best things to happen to the pro putin movement, as this would make him a martyr.
I personally wonder how it will be as it looks like he survived and these news paint an interesting picture.
Unless you have Alzheimer’s, that only means you are not involved with your kid. I know exactly how old mine are and when their birthdays are and I’m normally not good with dates. The thing with birthdays is that the dates stay the same so there’s no excuse not to remember it.
The one thing I learned about their family is that no one is a normal, upstand person. For example people were having high hopes for Melania to be more human than trump, but she is just like him. Though it does look like she is trying to copy him, even her signature is very similar.
For me, who has no idea about this, why Sony was so forceful with adding that PSN integration and what it would mean for the gamers, that they were so angry about it?
Edit: ok looks like Louis explained the POV of gamer to me: youtu.be/I2VA0eum6w4 though I still don’t understand what was the motivation for Sony to start this shit show.
The equal rights were 1947 borders set by the UN, which Arab nations rejected and started a war which they lost.
If you look at the map, “from the river to the sea” clearly means the whole area.
The original slogan also was “from the river to the sea Palestine is Islamic/Arab”, but that would be far less catchy in the West.
As for equal rights in democratic state, that has to be a joke. Just look at population of Israel where almost 25% is Arabic and compare it to Palestine which is very homogenous.
Nethanyahu is a MF, far right politician that should spend the rest of his life in jail, but let’s not pretend the other side are saints. They would would do exactly same (maybe even worse) if they had the means.
There are no good guys on either side of that conflict, just innocent people caught in the middle.
The land was changing hands for centuries: youtu.be/8tIdCsMufIY(and if we care about silly things about who was first, that would historically be Jews)
In fact before the British, it was actually owned by the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) which sided with the central powers in WW1. The British enrolled Palestinians and Jews to fight them and promised to give them that land in exchange for conquering it.
Their profits were also mediocre with huge expenses (and their product is built from Mastodon). It is clear that the whole thing exists to launder foreign money.
I believe Google and others purposely broke searching by a phone number. Many years ago I was able to even search by email. I don’t think it is SEO, but after they blocked it, SEO is the only thing that remained.
