Great link, its very cogent I wonder why Denmark has decided to participate in various military operations compared to other Nordic countries? I realize your countries are all separate and have different views on certain global issues but you also very similar with your value system. Why do you think Denmark is different in this regard with its military?
-
Absolutely, I think Denmark has done really well with its military training in both current and historical interventions I would suggest your country has the most experienced army compared to all the Nordic countries and that includes Finland which I understand has always been aware of its history with the Soviets and its border with Russia? But as we mentioned nothing beats actual combat experience

Amentep whats your opinion on changing the race of superhero characters from white to black? I know this has been discussed in the past but I want to get your current view I am opposed to it because I dont think you need to change any established character for something to be financially successful. Black Panther is testimony to that outcome The entertainment industry should create new black superheroes and if the characters are memorable and exciting then the agency and success will be decided by peoples wallets the way it should be But I dont see the point of a black spider-man or black batman because the original characters werent black ?

Yes I agree, it would be a different military reality if the Russians were defending their country and their would be real and effective resistance But the reality of the US is since 9/11 it has trained, funded and honed its military in a way that makes them by far the most powerful military in the world. Ironically as much as we all hate wars and conflicts any country needs an "active " war to ensure it has combat experience During Apartheid the SA military spent decades in Angola and Namibia fighting the Soviet onslaught, and ensuring a buffer zone was created for SA, and until the late 1980's SA was considered to have one of worlds most well trained special forces because they use to deploy in small groups into the jungles of Angola for various reasons So its weird but you almost need war to be an effective military force

Another reality from Putins War is the ending of the suggestion that the Russian army would defeat the US in war. Obviously their wont be a war between the US and Russia, and Putin can be grateful for the reality of mutually assured destruction by nukes, because I dont think the Russia military would last a month against the US military in a "normal " war

Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren or anyone from the progressive left could be worse than Trump First thing they would do is make CRT mandatory at all schools and then immediately open the Mexico border to all immigrants and then pass legislation so that only non-Americans can he employed for the next 10 years in the interests of addressing inequality and system racism ...oh and dont forget they would " ban the guns " for sure

Similar but I dont want to play a porn game but rather a normal RPG with porn elements So in other words I dont want VR porn to be the main point of the game but rather a feature....like I always mention I like Romance but its not the most important component of a RPG
-
That sounds and looks great, nice one I cant wait for the day when VR technology allows us to have meaningful Romance arcs in RPG

This is one of the most interesting and balanced links I have ever read about the numerous failures of the Russian military campaign in Ukraine. In summary these failures from the article include logistical failures and planning lack of morale and true belief in the campaign from Russian conscripts corruption within the Russian army losing the global media and information war the reality of underestimating the Western sanctions and the damage done the Russian economy

Why dont you buy a copy for me, I promise to play it and you know you can trust me

Elerond can you think of anything worse than using children as human shields? Like I said earlier, just when I think the Russians cant be worse in their military strategy they prove me wrong and do something worse They learning from the Russians Their have been numerous stories of mass rape and civilians being executed At the end of Putins War some of these will definitely be true and thats where the War Crimes charges will come from

Yes it was a joke, Im glad you getting to know my sense of humor but its a relevant topic anyway around what you posted Women have always played a critical role in all societies not just Viking history. What I didnt realize from your link is that the idea of " shield maidens " is not confirmed in the sense the Viking warriors were all men. If you watch the excellent series Vikings you see quite often women Vikings fighting in various campaigns But that's just artistic license and shouldn't negate the other real contributions women have made in building and sustaining our societies Thats also another thing I agree with Jordan Peterson on, the idea that the history of Western countries is all about the oppression of women due to things like the historical Patriarchy is exaggerated and inaccurate in certain portrays of the role women played
