It's wrong to say that the 'Russians' would have lost WW2 without allied support, but it's equally wrong to say that the 'Russians' won WW2'. As it was, Germany came close to cutting off the Soviets from its oil supplies with its offensive operations in the Caucasus. This would most likely...

Look at it differently. What might be a logical explanation?

Eastern NATO expansion began in 1999, and Russia tolerated it for over 20 years. The next phase of NATO expansion started in 2022 when Sweden and Finland began their process of joining the alliance. If Russia decided after 20 years that it was against NATO expansion and should do something...

Trump's first presidency was quite pragmatic. The same people who criticise (quite rightly, IMO) his tariffs are the same people who turn a blind eye(even support) to, say, the EU's tariff policies. Biden's tariff policies on a variety of Chinese imports - EVs, semiconductors, etc.- are a...

It's very real, John. I have a mate on another forum who swears by the MGTOW lifestyle.

Trump referred to Liz Cheney as a 'radical war hawk' and suggested that she should experience being in a dangerous situation, saying, "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her" to see how she would feel about sending troops into battle. Liz Cheney responded...

The UK, often bizarrely compared to Norway, has a paltry 63 barrels per person. To their credit, Norway understood the...

Praising Hitler's building of the autobahns is practically a meme(he didn't, btw). But doing so doesn't make you a 'threat to democracy'. Joe Kennedy, Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford, and Walt Disney are just a few famous Americans who expressed admiration for Hitler. How you're contextualised...

For me, it's more of an 'artistic' expression. My way of engaging the absurdities in discourse and challenging prevailing narratives. A strategy that involves irony or satire aimed at provoking thought rather than merely causing hurty feelings. People are stuck in their filter bubbles, espousing...

Hello everyone. I'm a supporter of Crystal Palace and England - IKR? I'm a he/him pronoun user. I enjoy a bit of bants. Now, I love the beautiful game. I'm Lockean by nature—believing in life, liberty, and the pursuit of a well-timed goal. Speaking of such pursuits, I proudly support all things...
