For me, and I think it's the same problem with Discord, but I don't have the time and attention span anymore to really follow most threads and conversations.

Ok, and? Maine is quite a small state and doesn't have much political power, being mostly rural and sparsely populated. I don't see how this is representative of any sort of attitude in the realm of...
Frankly, the story of German technological superiority during World War II is largely a myth and perpetuates the propaganda that the Nazis wanted the Allies to believe and fear over.
Some things...
What sort of issues? That their names and thumbnail icons don't seem to appear?
Typically for missing names, it's a problem where you are trying to run multiple localization files at the same...
Unlike Russia, the United States has (at least nominally) an active constitution which the public and both political parties generally accept and obey. You cannot just simply arrest somebody because...
What offensive? Didn’t Russian Command just order a ceasefire for Christmas?
Russia has certainly had a tough time during this whole war, they reverted from 21st century tactics, to Cold War tactics, to World War II tactics, down to World War I trench warfare, and now,...
In this scenario, where will the nukes go? Russia is a rational actor when it comes to its nuclear doctrine, but the same cannot be said for any hypothetical warlords, who might sell off the weapons...
See, I can't really buy this, for a few reasons.
This narrative has come into particular prominence amongst pro-Ukrainian historians, but there is of course the case for Ukraine's origin in the...
I don't know if it's just their uniforms, but I think I see where all the rations have gone!
It takes years, if not decades, to build an economy and a military.
From the reports I read, water had been almost completely restored to Kyiv within 48 hours, which means electricity isn't far behind.
Otherwise, did cities just not exist until electricity became...
Putin and the multitude of other nations:

It might as well be Putinocchio, considering all the lies he’s told.
When your life isn’t going well, just do better!
Underemployment is a species of unemployment, and the problems tend to be linked. Many people take a sub-par job because they would otherwise be unemployed. Furthermore, inflationary problems...
What other factors, then? Especially what factors that might be more important than one's own economic well-being?
Money is the basis for one's ability to live successfully in a society, and work...
They both play an important factor, neither of which can be easily understated. There are additional aspects, but the well-being of the economy, and one's place in it, is the baseplate for all other...
What baffles me is how anyone can think that an exchange would involve just one or "a few" nukes, when the entire premise of MAD is that one strike will prompt the complete launch of the attacked...
At gun point. And then the results will be doctored still after the fact, for good measure.

The mass recruitment of the Russian population into the army may yet be Putin’s undoing. He is...
And easily 2/3rds of Ukraine remains sovereign nonetheless.
Regarding Ukrainian reserves, has the Ukrainian military cycled all units called up in February-March into combat yet? Somehow I doubt...
At this point, I suspect that one of the reasons we haven't seen Russia use a tac nuke yet is because they don't have a working weapon available.
However, I'd really rather not try and find out...
It remains to be seen whether this will be the case. 300,000 troops is a significant number, but if they’re poorly trained, poorly equipped, inexperienced in combat, and poorly motivated, they could...
Hence why the sadistic rhetoric of many on the international far-left that Elizabeth II was an agent of genocide and colonialism makes no sense. There were the Troubles in Ireland, of course, but the...
It is interesting that just when the FBI was beginning to mend its reputation from the J. Edgar Hoover years, Waco, the Patriot Act and now the weaponization of the FBI as a tool for the DNC have...
How does a strategic strike on a Russian military base and critical staging ground for the Russian operation in Ukraine equate to a Ukrainian desire to ethnically cleanse Crimea?
And the...
To keep in mind, the French government declaring open cities in 1940 played a significant part in enabling their defeat during the Blitzkrieg over France.
Is there still any convincing evidence that Trump deliberately reached the help of Russia in the election, or that he had a direct part in inciting the storming of the Capitol on January 6th?
Looks like a case of "China's Final Warning."
This idea literally stinks. You have to remember that various diseases proliferated prior to the development of modern hygiene standards in the early 1900s, which only faded thanks to regular bathing...
Their statements aren't grounded in reality. It isn't anywhere as easy as he makes it seem to go out and purchase a weapon like an AR-15 or Kalashnikov-type rifle.
The AK-15, however, is a real...
Are you really praising Viktor Orban? Him, of all people?
Again, what? The British bankrolled the Russians in 1812, and they and the US provided immense amounts of Lend Lease and strategic...
You say US pressure flatly, but don’t articulate how the US has applied this pressure. What could they do to actually compel Germany to actively support Ukraine? Would the US have used military...
The Europeans have an immense amount of agency in terms of how to respond to Ukraine. It is France and Germany leading the initiative on heavy weapons deliveries. It is the Europeans I know who are...
The assassin made a makeshift firearm out of two pipes duct-taped to a wooden board as a stock, and then filled with black powder from fireworks for propellant and a bunch of ball bearings and...
The key point is that Americans feel they don’t need to be subject to global oil prices, as they believe that United States has the theoretical capability to divorce itself from the world oil system...
What I had meant to say was that nobody within NATO is making Sweden and Finland join NATO. They could’ve always found the terms too unacceptable to enter, and then left the talks without...
Yet faced with the choice between neutrality being under threat of Russian attack, or join NATO and sacrifice parts of their foreign policy platform, Sweden and Finland still chose the NATO option....
What positive attributes has Biden brought to his Presidency? What has gone right for the United States domestically or internationally, or economically and culturally, since he took office?
I’m not sure any serious historian of WW2 claims American military power in 1945 was “preeminent.” I think it’s generally recognized that there was parity between the US and Soviet Union, which only...
