  1. Gaza is not the whole Palestine. On top of it, it's not a Democratic regime and there hasn't been any election in Gaza for a long time. Hamas is more like a religious fascist regime.
  2. As you know, Hamas is not "Palestine".....
  3. So when the post-Covid recovery shows some positive aspects, it's due to Covid, and when there are negative aspects, it's Biden's fault. 555! 🤣
  4. It's not what they said. Anyway, very bad from them, knowing that Giuliani eagerly supplied all the MSM with copies of the laptop so that they could authenticate it! Oh wait! 😆
  5. He has Asperger's. That's probably the reason why he takes Ketamine.
  6. A ridiculous attempt to whitewash Trump and the MAGAs who assaulted the Capitol in order to steal the election!
  7. Actually, pizza is not really an Italian historical dish, as tomatoes have been introduced relatively recently. It appeared only in the 18h-19th century, after the diffusion of tomatoes in Italy. The real historical dish is Foccacia, already popular among Romans, under the name "Foccacius".
  8. After Brexit, UK has always fared worse than the EU, and there is no obvious reason for this to change. On top of it, in case of a crisis in the EU, UK would be similarly affected due to the importance of its trade with the EU. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/
  9. Did Biden ask Israel not to kill Hamas and Hezbollah members, or just to avoid killing other Palestinians?
  10. Isn't Israel already willing and able to get them, irrespective of whatever Trump may say? They didn't need him to eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah leaders (and others members).
  11. As usual, a lame deflection! 😆 https://www.britannica.com/topic/Labour-and-Socialist-International Fact is that the Nazis were not Socialist as they never belonged to any Socialist or Communist Internationel.
  12. Russia's GDP is at around the same level as Italy. It's around ten times lower than the U.S. https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/by-gdp Russia always wants to compare itself to the U.S, but it's clearly trying to punch over its weight.
  13. The UK GDP growth problem certainly did not start under the Labour government... https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/gdp-growth
  14. Educate yourself. Labour and Socialist parties, which did not want to be under Bolchevik domination in the Comintern, created their own International, which was seen as a continuation of the Second International. It was also the precursor of the current Socialist International. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_and_Socialist_International Fact is that the Nazis never joined any of the two "International".
  15. Just curious. The Tories have been governing the country for 14 years. Why haven't they done it already?
  16. You are confusing with the Comintern. At the time of the Nazi party (and since 1919), there were two "International": the Labour and Socialist one, and the Communist one. The Nazis have never been part of any of them.
  17. I remember that time. Riclag even chose Durham's photo for his forum ID!
  18. The proof being that the Nazis have been part of the Socialist International (whatever the number). Otherwise it would just be another of your B.S. claim! Oh wait! 😆
  19. Yet PPP is not relevant to compare the economic power of countries, as it's not real money. In real money, it ranks 11th, with a GDP level close to Italy. On top of it, the recent GDP growth is artificial as it has been fueled by military expenses, while the civil economy was declining. As I wrote before, Russia waited to have accumulated enough foreign currency reserves, and also that price of energy increased, before starting the invasion, so it would be able to finance it. In the current situation, the foreign currency reserve is declining and the price of energy is on a decreasing trend, so Russia won't be able to finance a war at the same level as before. (I am not even mentioning inflation, the impact of sanctions, etc...)
  20. Complete B.S., as usual! 😆 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_terrorist_attacks_in_the_United_States
  21. I know the place and the guards. They are quite nice and helpful. The guy probably got angry and made a fuss (which I may understand). From what I was told, he was at the gate and wanted to get into the residence (probably in the hope of being able to complain to someone). I assume there was also a communication issue as the level of English of the guards is poor. Their response was obviously too violent, but it's their job to prevent non-residents from going inside, and to preserve the quietness of residents.
  22. I don't think NK soldiers were given any choice. From what I heard, they are sent first and sacrified to weaken Ukrainian defenses, and then Russian soldiers follow.
  23. No 🤣 It is Germany. https://countrycassette.com/countries-by-gdp-ppp-purchasing-power-parity/ And PPP is not really relevant to compare the economic power of countries. https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/by-gdp
  24. Are they still residing in Quatar? It seems they are now hosted by Turkey This is from November: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/08/politics/qatar-hamas-doha-us-request/index.html https://www.timesofisrael.com/qatar-confirms-departure-of-hamas-leaders-says-groups-doha-mission-may-remain/
