Yes Sarex that must be true, great economic analysis there. Germanys economic success and strength must be because of Russian energy. It cant be because of the correct economic policies, hard work, effective government that ensures accountability and governance, the EU, education system or the advanced industrialization of Germany and now without Russian energy its going to collapse Makes perfect sense

Gorthfuscious I think you need to be honest, it doesnt sound like you respect or like Johnson?

Do you know of any time in the UK where so many people have resigned in protest from any political party, its unprecedented ?

Thank you for demonstrating my point. Many people, including yourself, dont understand the reality of the UK and its political decisions. Johnson didnt break-up the UK, he delivered on the mandate of the BREXIT referendum. Thats what political parties are suppose to do, deliver on what they say they will do when the majority of citizens have voted Hoonding dont allow yourself to be fooled and manipulated by misinformation and some media hyperbole. Always ask me if you not sure

The misunderstanding you guys are making with Johnsons leadership is you are judging him on the theater and media outrage like Partygate and ignoring how effective he was on the real issues like BREXIT and the overall UK response to the virus. He was also well respected internationally But I do now sadly concede its time for him to step down because he has clearly lost support within his own party Politics is a fickle mistress, I wouldnt want to be a politician

Dont worry History Channel is global, we get it in SA as well " everything is connected "

@melkathi Melkie I really think you are exaggerating. We definitely dont talk about SJW and censorship all the time. People joke sometimes as well, not everything has to be so serious

Ja man and gamers are still whinging about gamers whinging about SJW so somethings just dont change

The scary part of this post is you actually believe this...." less censored "

We know exactly what you mean, the corruption and influence from SJW and wokeness is irrefutable 🥂

Great link and Im not surprised with some of the views For citizens in any country in the world to appreciate what a real Constitutional Democracy brings its needs to be realized and implemented correctly or it just becomes a word that is meaningless. And if implemented correctly you often do see meaningful and substantive economic transformation but it requires the correct government policies None of the countries that went through the Arab Spring can be considered nowadays proper Democracies, as the article mentions they hybrids And ironically the most stable and prosperous countries in the ME are not Democracies and have never claimed to be like most of the Gulf States but thats fine because if the majority of citizens are happy then we should leave them alone. Like China, Im sure most Chinese citizens, with exceptions like the Uyghurs Muslims, are more or less happy with the CCP when they told what to think? And then also its very hard to implement a proper Democracy, particularly around human rights, in any country under Sharia law but that doesn't mean most citizens in countries under Sharia law aren't happy if you consider the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait But in summary, the article raises valid concerns but they conflating Democracy with economic transformation. These are separate objectives but obviously inextricably connected because you wont see effective economic policies without an effective government

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/u-k-finance-minister-and-health-secretary-both-resign-11657042088 Now its not looking good for Johnson. Both the finance and health minister have resigned and they are both effective and prominent members of his cabinet. I dont think he can weather this storm?

Sometimes this unplanned underage pregnancies is with young boys age 12-15, its not considered rape because its consensual We have several thousand underage pregnancies a year in SA from the age of 10-14 and its not grown men or rape who are responsible. To quote from the link below Children will not be criminally charged if they have sex if both partners are between 12 and 16 years old. And it’s not criminal for a child under 16 to have sex with a partner less than 2 years older. https://www.news24.com/parent/Teen_13-18/Development/the-age-of-consent-in-sa-and-around-the-world-20171116

I first read this as " I got banned and reported by someone for making racist comments " ...it didnt sound like you

I cant believe you have been banned before, I never would have guessed that. Only people like me normally get banned

I have some great news for everyone. Last weekend I went to the Beamdog forums, after a video on BG mods I watched, and their are a few mods you can install that add some advanced functionality like extra NPCS, more dialogue, extra races and the additional Romance mod So Im going through the list and selecting what is appropriate. Here is the link on Beamdog https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/50340/bg-ee-2-0-and-siege-of-dragonspear-compatible-mods

And I know how much you are looking forward to Sweden joining NATO so that must be a huge point of frustration

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/07/01/europe/russia-brittney-griner-trial-intl/index.html This " trial " is just theater and political. Parading her around her around on the Russian news channels as a "criminal " when was caught with 0.702 grams of cannabis oil I realize its not the US cops involved so it wont automatically create BLM outrage but Im surprised we seeing such little concern?

Why you opposed to Democracy? I thought we supported the will of the people and all that ?

Elerond you must never forget Finland has been invaded by the USSR, so this Russian jingoism and belligerence cannot be ignored anymore Personally I feel much better and happier now that Finland and Sweden are going to be official NATO members. I am sure everyone feels the same ...now you really part of the family and we protect and support our family

@Zoraptor Zora you did say that, Elerond is absolutely correct Do you acknowledge you said that ?

Turkey is a very strategic and important country in the region. They played a role in fighting ISIS and defeating the ISIS Caliphate and they were opposed to the Assad which matters in the context of the Syrian war and the various ideological sides They also help with the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who want to immigrate to the EU, remember illegal immigration is wrong and I know none of us support it

Oh thats a relief, so you dont think Putins going to invade Finland ....but Russia is being provoked like with Ukraine joining NATO?

Sarex I have changed my opinion and I agree with you, Russia was provoked. But more importantly its a new world order where powerful countries can decide the future of less powerful countries. You right, its irrelevant what citizens think and sovereignty is meaningless NATO needs to invade Serbia again. Firstly Serbia use to part of the Austrian\Hungarian empire so we can reestablish those old borders like Putin is doing. Then the people of Serbia dont get decide about the independence of Kosovo, we will annex Serbia and Kosovo ...problem solved And if we want further provocation everyone knows that Russia wants to put nukes within Serbia, Serbia is anti-NATO and their are loads of Neo-Nazis in Serbia NATO is being provoked by Serbia and the West must invade !!!

Any woke corruption that manifests itself in Bethesda games we can fix with mods, chainmail-bikini armor forever !!!!
