Sounds philosophically consistent. What could be more pro-life, pro-business and pro-freedom than being in favour of endless cell growth unchecked by cell apoptosis? Come to think of it, not only does curing cancer sound like a socialist anti-prosperity regulatory agenda, killing off cells that would naturally grow is a little too close to abortion.
After being demilitarized in 2005, Sweden re-introduced permanent troops to Gotland in 2016, following Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014. Sweden also became NATO’s newest member in March — meaning it is covered by the alliance’s Article 5 guarantee that all other members come to each other’s...
Sweden has a tripwire force on the island, as of shortly after the invasion of Crimea. Within hours, it would be joined by larger forces from the mainland, and quite possibly from NATO allies such as Poland and Finland. The Russians would have a considerably worse time than in Ukraine.
By some accounts, Russia would need to take Gotland before they could besiege the Baltic States. Though that doesn’t mean they’d have a good chance of succeeding.
If everything is going normally, it’s a fairly easy posting on a picturesque island best known for holidays. If the shit hits the fan, your death will be a heroic one.
The German compound noun thing also works in other Germanic languages like, say, Dutch, Swedish and Old English. You can blame the Normans (i.e. a bunch of snobbish Vikings who, a generation earlier, decided to speak only French) for modern English’s lack of them.
When people on the right become less happy, it’s due to being demoted from the Herrenvolk and finding themselves as Untermenschen like the ones they used to take glee in oppressing.
You won’t get the latter. The PLA will have dibs on fab capacity for military use, assuming they can stop the west from bricking the lithography machines.
… and then, in the penultimate paragraph, they undermine their thesis by pointing out that The Greens are successfully soaking up the economically precarious young voters who the thesis argues are easy pickings for the far right.
In a conservative society, an artist’s job is to make decorations, and that’s it. So, as far as the Tories are concerned, if you’re an artist and concerned about pollution or child poverty or whatever, your options are to paint some pretty landscapes or bowls of fruit to take people’s attention off them.
The Daily Express is a trashy populist tabloid from the UK. They lean Brexity, and are right-wing as far as you can be with only gut feeling rather than ideology, so slagging off Biden (after the post-Brexit trade deal failed to eventuate) and/or getting on the Trumpist bandwagon are not out of character. As far as political analysis goes, you may as well consult a tarot reader.
