What happens if Russian air defenses or jet fires on the F35? Does NATO fire back? Where to stop? Moscow? There’s no way that Russia wouldn’t use nukes in that scenario.
Maybe a limited operation where Russia’s air defenses couldn’t reach would be possible, but so close to the front is not going to happen unless Russia does something stupid like attacking NATO directly.
Again, NATO’s only purposes are to defend its member countries if any of them gets directly attacked or very exceptionally to enforce UN Security Council Resolutions. That narrow scope creates some issues but it’s also a big factor in avoiding a nuclear war.
Pretending that NATO is or should be more than that is only helping Putin.
The article was written by someone that doesn’t know what NATO is for. For all its problems NATO has excelled at doing what it was made to do, which is keeping Russia out of its members territories. Contrary to Russian propaganda NATO is not supposed to be the be-all and end-all of Western power projection - in fact there is no such organization.
When we talk about human rights we usually talk about the “what”, and talking about just the “what” leads to misconceptions like that. So the question is why we have human rights. And the formulation human right treaties take is some form of “Human dignity is inviolable”, which means that all human lives are worth the same, and that value can’t be diminished in any way. Human rights are then listed in order to protect that ideal.
When you consider this, it becomes obvious that owning humans can’t be a form of the right to private property because it relies on some humans being above others.
That’s also the reason why free speech doesn’t include things like slander or ordering someone killed.
Fox News is an American problem, they don’t have any significant presence in Europe - the closest would be Sky News but Comcast bought it from Murdoch in 2018.
That one was way more deranged. The Senate of Berlin allowed Helmut Kentler to send orphans and other kids that had to be removed from their parents to pedophiles’ homes with the logic that since pedophiles “love” children they would treat them better than the average foster family. And it went all the way from the 1960s to the 1990s (which meant that some kids were stuck with the pedophiles until the 2000s because removing them would blow the cover up).
If Microsoft increases the price of Game Pass Ultimate to add Call of Duty I’m going to cancel my subscription. Just add a new tier called Game Pass for Suckers That Buy The Same Mediocre Overpriced Game Every Year and include Call of Duty on that.

Between the 800 years and the Seven of Limes are two things showing that either Reno has paid a visit to the 24th century or the writers lost the plot.
The 800 years if rounded could line up with Seven of Nine’s Enterprise G.
Cismit - communicating with one self, for e.g. inner dialog
Cisaction - an agreement with one self or within a group
Cislate - to rephrase in the same language
Cisportation - moving inside a boundary
Ok let me rephrase for pedantic people, adjectives with trans prefix have a correspondent cis adjective.
And an electrical cisformer would be something that would keep energy inside the same circuit at roughly the same voltage, so basically a wire. Feel free to use the term if you want to oversell something.
Genocide is not killing people, it’s killing a culture/ethnicity or displacing from the area where they live. Technically you can commit genocide without killing a single person.
When you have a trans-something you have cis-something. It’s how language works.
The only way for cisgender to be a slur is if you consider transgender a slur too.
Rule number 2 of safe driving is assuming the driver in front of you might have to break without warning.
Worse, he’s going to have to work with Medvedev.
You never heard of Ielgium?
Because international law is more about “there’s a general consensus about this” than written law (and in few places this is as true as what counts as a sovereign entity), this kind of organized action can have more impact than they might seem at first.
He means they are trying not to be the Nazi bar, and added an homeopathic amount of moderation to the platform.
They are trying to convince as many countries as possible to maximize the impact of the announcement.
Dude is/was providing military equipment to terrorist groups and states that’s being used to attack an European country and European ships.
