A military defeat perhaps, but strategically it might be beneficial for the US. They get out of a money drain and leave a big problem for their rivals which happen to be neighbours to Afghanistan....

Anyone reasonably informed on Israeli politics can say if these elections can have an impact in the ongoing Palestinian genocide?
Trump can't have a successful coup right now because he has little influence on the military. That, of course, can change in the coming years, if he works towards it. There are already a lot of white...
Well, you guys should be proud there are gamer girls in congress.
Man, american people defending Trump and the insurgents today is rich. I'm brazilian, dudes, I don't care if your country descends into civil war. Actually, I think of it as poetic justice. But it is...
My point was about how those thing were all related to today. But alright, let's focus on the election and today's coup attempt. Where do you think the armed insurgents will strike next?
How many people did they besiege and shot while trying to overthrow the government?
Did BLM ever try a coup or in any way an institutional disruption? As far as I know they just attacked some windows, instead of the country's political process.
Anybody knows when will Venezuela step in to curb the chaos and ensure a peaceful democratic transition?
Time to cite your sources, buddy. And about the ecological crisis, from what countries are the companies which are polluting in China?
Are they allowed in the US? Because I'm pretty sure if it was Black Lives Matter battering on the parliament door the result today would be much different...
Well, I agree that this mob will not achieve victory in any way, but the point is what they are a symptom of, and what legacy they will leave. Let's not forget that it was indeed a coup attempt...
Well, let's not get prophetic then, but try to analyze the current state of things. The US is in clear decline, and China is rapidly ascending in the global political and economic scenario. That we...
But why would it be cut off from the global trade? The contrary is also true: the world cannot survive without China. Of course the chinese system is not an inevitable result, but it is emerging...
Well, that seems a simplistic way of viewing this. I see it as the inevitable decline in liberal democracy while a stronger system rises and supersedes it (China). Trump and the political instability...
Well, those are the claims to which I have not seem any credible confirmation. The last one I checked claimed that one of these "silenced scientists" spoke out one day before the official...
I'm yet to see a credible source of this deliberate spread by China. On the contrary: they quickly identified the outbreak and acted to stop it, achieving a much greater success in it than all...
Hey fellow TWCposters. Would you agree that China's success in dealing with the pandemic is proof that democratic centralism is the best system for the modern world?
So, is the US already a Lybia or Ukraine? There is a political faction attacking the parliament to stop the presidential transition.
The first Brazilian League I remember was in 2003, when Cruzeiro won it with 100 points. At the time I thought it was the greatest Brazilian team there was. A few years later I realized it was...
Quite a story. I'm really saddened by struggling teams which are bought by foreign millionaires and end up in trouble because of that. A century-old club can be easily trashed by bad management. I...
Watch South American football then, mate. It's still competitive, without the same teams always winning. It's rotten alright, but it's the old rot, the one that has always existed, not the new one...
A madridista from Barcelona? Tell us more about that. Is the rest of your family Madrid fans as well or are you some sort of "black sheep"? :laughter:
Yes it was. Here's the video with the highlights. Sorry I didn't find one with better quality.

The goal always gives me chills.
In 2004 I know you beat Once Caldas from Colombia by penalty kicks. They were probably one of the greatest upsets on Libertadores history, beating defending champions Boca Juniors in the final by...
I've also been fortunate to see Inter win 2 Copa Libertadores and one Club World Cup, defeating the mighty Barcelona of Ronaldinho in the final. You might have seen it...
I'm interested in a Copa America one. And I agree with you, going with your heart in this games usually doesn't pay out. But sometimes it does.
When is the next one? I'm interested in playing.
Tell you what, I'll root for AEK on the Champions League this season, then. Hope they do better than Olympiakos. But only if they don't take our defender. :tongue:
This thread is so...
He played in Greece last season, but for Panathinaikos. Even won a prize as best central back in the league or something like that.
But this buying of him might as well be an invention of the...
Yes, I know. I've read the Iliad, just didn't know how to say "pugilatus" in Greek.
Apparently AEK is trying to buy one of my club's players, Rodrigo Moledo. :laughter: I hope they don't succeed.
By the way, that's my club:
...
It's hard to establish a continuity between pugilatus and the early forms of modern boxing. They were similar because they were both fought with the fists, but apart from that very different.
Does boxing count? I also did judo when I was a kid, but very briefly.
I thought you were Greek.
Nice. Is "root" an inadequate expression for "belonging" to a team? I don't know how to say that in English. In Brazil we say "torcer", which means literally "to twist" or "bend" or something like...
Now that the Cup is over, we'll go back to our normal lives, rooting for our own clubs in our local tournaments. Since there's people from a lot of places here (mostly Europe, though), I got curious...
And still are. One thing has nothing to do with the other.
For me, Croatia was the moral champion.
This is the most ridiculous final I've ever seen.
