Mary Trump asks why ‘f‑‑‑ing maniac’ uncle is allowed to ‘roam free’
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
And why did Trump want the National Guard for? ???? Trump wanted troops to protect his supporters at Jan. 6 rally https://www.reuters.com/world/us/congresswoman-says-trump-administration-botched-capitol-riot-preparations-2021-05-12/ In his simple mind, he may even have thought that the N.G. would have sided with protesters. -

Why a rare gun charge against Hunter Biden could misfire

What is left to negotiate, in terms of land? At least with the current government. Basically, one side can say what it wants and, if it is not accepted, can get it anyway in an other way thanks to its power. Leaving, in any case, the other side with a fragmented territory, which is unsustainable from an economic point of view, because it doesn't include the wealthiest parts of the West Bank. Practically, the options currently available to the Palestiniansare either to be legally depossessed legally, or to be illegally (according to international laws) depossessed.

Ok, but there are also specific factors. The main one currently being the high power imbalance between the Israel and the Pakestinians. There such a power imbalance that there cannot be any fair direct negotiation, without involving third parties . For example, it has been possible with Egypt because Egypt was powerful enough. Actually it only occurred after Egypt regained enough power, if I remember well.

That's quite rational. There was no context and that's why the context has been edited out! Oh wait! ???? -

Gaza 'soon without fuel, medicine and food' - Israel authorities
candide replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
You are right about public opinion in Western countries, probably not in Arab or Muslim countries. For reasons I evoked, they have laid à kind of trop, and Israeli authorities are also aware of it Hamas is certainly not looking for a solution. Unlike Fatah, they don't even want a two States solution. As other extremists organisations, they are more looking for exacerbing the conflict and justifying their existence -

Of course, they know it! And it may well be part of the plan. An Israeli attack would further antagonize public opinions, both inside and outside Palestinian territories, to the benefit of extremist players such as Hamas. There is also a faction inside Hamas thinking that instead of managing an open air prison on behalf of Israel, they'd better leave Israel manage the mess itself. -
Exactly. It is really abject. The corpses are not yet cold and he's already trying to get a political advantage from it!

‘No turning back’: how the Ukraine war has profoundly changed the EU
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
It's one view of reality, which is coherent and well articulated. However, there are other views: - one view is that, if other Eastern Europe countries had not joined NATO (and the EU for the political and economic aspects), they could also have been attacked or put under Russian rule. There is no guarantee that it would have led to a more peaceful situation. - another view is that Russian (and in particular their successive governments) are largely responsible for this situation. The Soviet Union was in decline and so is Russia. Incompetent leaders such as Putin have been unable to develop their country and the well-being of its citizen. No one is attracted by Russia. Just compare the standard of living and political system in former Warsaw treaty countries with those of Russia. Of course, they are not ready to accept they are in decline but that's mainly their fault (at least their government) - There is also the legal and ethical view. These countries, including Ukraine, did not secede. They legally left according to the treaties signed. Ukraine left the Soviet Union, just like Russia did before, according to the treaty designed by Stalin. Legally and morally, Russia has no right on them. -
It looked like they were religions. Hence the expression "personality cult"

The first paragraph makes the question in your reply pointless! By quoting only the second paragraph, you make my post look as if I were supporting Hamas.

You truncated my post. Reported.

It's quite likely. I always thought that the Palestinians would (maybe) have obtained more by applying Ghandi's precepts. However, it also demonstrates once more that Netanyahu's policy has not brought peace and security.

It's on News TV channels, also in the live feeds on CNN or BBC website.

What price are people paying in London, Paris, Tokyo, etc...? The price of gas was lower pre-Covid in every country, and inflation was also much lower. What a coincidence! ???? Could it be that there is something like a global wholesale oil price, as well as global inflation? https://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-oil-price-history-chart
