AliExpress usually has better deals than Argos anyway

Sounds like a good time to build a hydroelectric dam to bolster the grid and shift away from coal/gas plants. Win-win!

There are going to be a lot of upset, worried, wealthy people in London today.

Considering they were caught having spyware on Merkel’s phone from 2002-2013, it’s strange to only make the change now.

Russia could demand that every country with a foreign volunteer for Ukraine answer for them, they’d rightly get the same brush-off.

Two guys (who knows, maybe even three) who are Chinese nationals serving in the Russian Army and not PLA soldiers doesn’t mean “Chinese troops”, it’s Russian troops.

Only for five years, and only if it will not see an appeal. Still, it’s a good start.

Oh how shameful of me to question a European. You are Europe. You are culture.

You’ve chosen an indefensible position, that’s all. Try to learn from it, and you can do better next time.

Not just a violent and bloody history, but a culture as well, which lead to that history. As to all Europeans being unwilling to deny it, that’s hardly convincing given multiple recent decades of fueling and supplying armed conflicts, often needlessly.

I’m well aware of the US attitude towards censorship. My point is about the double standard towards violence and a history of it existing in cultures. It’s hardly exclusive to the Americans, and quite European if anything. You can’t boldly declare yourself to be “culture” itself and expect to be taken seriously without actually examining those cultures.

“Horrible deplorable violence is only wrong when boors and barbarians do it, not us enlightened beings who seek only peace and nudity”.

How arrogant to think your previous centuries don’t offer a culture of violence.
