If you want to go about and make excuses for the Russian invasion of Ukraine you should do that in the appropriate thread (here).

For those actually interested in the topic of this thread I think...

All in all this still just boils to a bunch of speculation wrapped with a liberal amount of tin foil. From the maritime trackers and photographs we do know that Russia used a commercial tanker to...

Instead of posting some vague accusations about "anti Russian" it would be nice if you could provide some insight into how you suggest the severely depleted Ukrainian navy would have come up with a...

Actually the Sea of Azov is according to Russia an inland water without a clear line of demarkation between Ukraine and Russia and both the Sea of Azov and Kerch Straight are according to that...

When it comes to defending Europe there really are two main players we can trust from military perspective, Finland and Poland. The Polish government is a toxic mess but Polish nationalism will...

Quick guide to the Swedish voting system with ballots:

The major parties post ballots to you by mail which got candidate lists on them, you can bring this to the place of voting. At the voting...

As a Swede this kind of attitude fascinates me because even among the most rabid and sexually frustrated soldiers of the airborne battalion I cannot fathom hazing being seen as acceptable. Yes a...

I got a hard time seeing Laca and Auba in the same starting eleven. Both Özil and Mikitharyan are willing to drift far out the edges and could be really hard to track for the defenders but when it...

Comparing social justice warriors to straw men is wrong, it would perhaps be more appropriate to call them flares as they are loud and visible attentions seekers. Unfortunately they are annoying...

What he made was a sarcastic remark about the stupidity of certain concepts that are actually being taught at several universities. So I am 100 % confident that Sumskilz does not believe in it but...

No he was citing something based on Dr Luce Irigarays work, she is Director of Research in Philosophy at Centre national de la recherche scientifique, You can read more here and the quote is on page...

I think sumskilz example above your comment is a perfect example of what I am referring to. He is an academic and some kind of moderate pragmatic but describes exactly the kind of experience I am...

Its been essentially the same people here for the last 4-6 years who support all of the alternative causes and I think some of them realize that by now they are just caricatures of the position they...

That looks like a really interesting report which I will read.

Regarding the rest of the thread I think it is amazing how the opposite ends of the Americanized political spectrum can be so similar...

In Bosnia the UN mandate was severely restricted by diplomatical concerns. The general secretary at the time was Boutros Boutros-Ghali. A Coptic Christian who was also a very successful Egyptian...

That I loath someone is my position on the subject of what I think of that person. Why I loath him is a separate subject that is more suitable for another thread given that this thread is about...

I was arguing that invoking article 50 in the first place would be stupid even if it may have been necessary due to the national politics of Britain. From a legal perspective the referendum did not...

Chief of Staff of the Croatian Defense Council.

By the time Milosevic was caught, Tudman was already dead since several years.

Its rather ironic that you are writing this considering what just happened:

That is Bosnian...

I asked because the posts are very close in time and I think your response indicate that you had not yet had the time to read the post I asked about. Given what I posted Condottiores comment is more...

You've been running around posting the same map for almost a year without doing even a basic check on the claimed bases :thumbsup2.

Was this post written before or after your read this post supporting everything he just said even including an example of pro Russian narrative posted in perfect English using a purchased IP used by...

Assange has always been more about drama and self interest rather which tore the original WikiLeaks team apart. Nowadays he is mainly a B-list celebrity lending his name to whatever disruptive cause...

What this story tells us is that the Washington Post is a quality newspaper with a journalistic integrity far beyond what the alt-right movement claims :whistling.

I really hate the title of this thread as it shifts focus from a very simple question to a cesspit of accusations and hatred.

I am happy for every war criminal sentenced after the Yugoslav wars....

No the differences are bigger than that and I am a bit surprised by Copperknickers response. There are numerous transgressions committed by Western nations, companies and aid organisations in Africa....

The pots are kind of skewed due to the spread of European teams. This mainly hurts Argentina and Brazil as no group will contain more than 2 teams from Europe and 1 team from each other qualification...

There is currently an ongoing insurgency in Mocambique so extremely stable is by African standards only. But having China starting to mess with African dictators is actually kind of awesome news....

Nightmare from a Swedish perspective: Brazil, Spain, Sweden and Nigeria.
Dream group: Russia, Peru, Sweden and Saudi Arabia.
Nostalgia: Argentina, England, Sweden and Nigeria.

Without Albin Ekdal the Swedish passing game falls apart completely. I think Ekdal and Victor Nilsson Lindelööf are the only guys in the team who got an average pass completion rate above 85 % in the...

It was not a pretty victory but it was a victory that really underlines the value of "character players" as we had to rely on players like Gustav Svensson and Marcus Rohden.

Something that...

Arrgh, Jakob Johansson is down and we now turn to Gustav Svensson in midfield. A 30 year old with 9 caps for the national team and currently playing for the Seattle Sounders in the MLS. Apparently he...

I've been thinking a bit about what makes a great international team.

For countries like Germany and Spain I think that they have benefited a lot from having more than half the starting XI coming...

Given the context I think this research is a good example of how bisexuality or even homosexuality can work from an evolutionary perspective.

I think we struggle to understand homosexuality as we look at it from a modern Judeo-christian perspective. Historically homosexuality may be a social inconvenience for individuals but social norms...

Blaming the current British government for a lack of progress in the EU negotiations is like blaming the German generals for failing to take Moscow. Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage fled the scene as...

PJ Jonasson is the guy who made the survey so the Wordpress link should be the main source and the data also looks reasonable according to a brief evaluation. It checks out with all "sanity checks" I...

Anyone who wish to guess what the string is for?

Another Eurofighter have crashed, this time a Spanish Eurofighter returning from a display

The accident record for the Eurofighter is getting quite bad. It is however telling that none of the...

The referendum is nothing more than a protest by separatists. Low voter turnout and only actively engaged in by people who want separation. The only thing that makes it anything else than a failure...
