As much as it's laudable, for many countries it would be strategically very stupid to sign on to the ban as long as these munitions are in use by certain other countries. It was helpful to have deliberations about what to send, also in order for the domestic population to understand why these...

I understand the arguments against cluster munitions in general. They are far from optimal, and it would've been preferable if other weapon systems were provided at earlier stages already and production scaled up sooner, so that Ukraine weren't put in a position to even request cluster munitions...

What exactly would this escalation be?

https://twitter.com/grndmstrfesxh/status/1672538783445663749 I hope he got to finish before this stupid thing was over. I was hoping for this to continue for a while. The entire Russian southern command was taken out of operation, so the already poor coordination of Russian troops must have...

Biden is also very famous for quoting his father or mother, so it's a bit odd that in this instance it should've been hastily added to cover up the racist intent of the use of the word "boy". Taking the context of Biden as a person, the sentence in its entirety and why he said it into account...

This blindness to what's actually going on is astounding.

Are the people in the crowd all signalling to answer the teacher's question, or has ISIS infiltrated the rally to do their silly gesture?

True. We started and lost a world war. Sure, some people came out the other side with their eyes opened. But make no mistake, by and large people's minds didn't shift. They merely adapted.

That the boxes and their contents are labelled declaring the level of secrecy is perfectly normal, and not really an issue as they are supposed to be stored in secure locations. What's ridiculous is that Trump and his minions are now trying to have people believe that there's nothing to see...

So he declassified the documents that were planted by the FBI? How nice of him.

The parts of the article you quote completely echo the usual and perspectives that western European and American observers and experts continue to make. They are in stark contrast to analyses from eastern European experts. I also find it quite embarrassing when articles in western media still...

I realized that. It was appeared to me to be a key aspect in the whole article that helps explain some of the processes going on that exacerbate the problem of violence in many urban areas. Gentrification has nothing to do with the ageing of society, but describes processes of changes within...

Using a different preposition would allow to open the conversation towards why many of these "revitalization efforts" seem to come at a price for so many cities, when it's often just a euphemism for gentrification.

It certainly works well for QAnon. "Look, these people believe all Democrats are pedophiles. Let's paint their SCOTUS nominee to be sympathetic with pedophiles." The other point is, that it works well in general. When it comes to issues such as child abuse or child pornography, the response to...
