Still... interesting how in talking about the crash 80% of CNN's article is to mention the censorship, as was your own focus, and not the event itself and what is known about it. NOTHING about the event about which there is a lot of da

Well, considering the author is Nancy Pelosi's biographer, and nobody involved disavowed the story in 3 years despite its very widespread circulation, and how much the American MAGA right has dissected it since, I'm not quite sure

UK, a country with a long naval tradition, destroyed over 25 Russian warships using Ukrainians in Ukraine. FTFY, I know it's easy to mix up the two when trying to generate engagement.

If only Canada had let the judicial process do its thing and at least imprisoned the man as properly requested by India, that killer of 28 people and Canadian citizen would be paying for his crimes, alive. Blows my mind that instead of doin

And then you have the French, Dutch and Belgian case of the pedocriminal network which was unearthed after the Dutroux affair, which, inspired themselves of these late 70s-early 80s satanic panics, started abusing children in a false satani

Can't really de-escalate without communicating. Moreover - and this has yet to be publicly confirmed by some official - the kid, which police couldn't know was a kid - was fleeing because the car was declared stolen, the license p

Still, I'd rather not have to move my ski season to the sides of Mount Golgotha near Jerusalem - that glowing snow might still be radioactive after all.

Doctor Emmet Brown. He has a fundamental physics project he needs the Uranium for. But I'm not sure he has the money to pay. I wonder how the Lybians will react. Hopefully his apprentics Marty McFly will be able to negociate something.

Nope. They are 5-6 years behind Russia, and it seems a couple behind the Chinese. Apparently there was some advances needed in materials science nobody bothered to invest in on the US side until 2-3 years ago, when Russia demonstrated their

Yes, doctrines like this are meaningless. Let's scrap all anti-proliferation treaties, the IAEA. The whole lot. All the major armies around the world have been paranoid about them for no reason. While we are at it, let's scrap the

Well, yeah, but the CEOs of one company in Germany with the hardware and people to do that, and who was also charged with monitoring the pipelines, just died in an unexplained private jet crash two weeks ago.

You are analyzing this too much in the short term. These pipelines were meant to last for decades. The pain of seeing a quarter of your industry close for lack of energy might have easily bent the will of Germans and others after this winte
