Guccifer (original) who hacked Hillary's emails was Romanian, Guccifer 2.0 is ??? though he claims not to be russian. They're separate people. Sweden and Finland have been 2 years from joining NATO since 1989. And Sweden is not even slightly neutral already, NATO membership would just formalise things. The big eastwards push was meant to be Georgia and Ukraine, and they both now have active territorial disputes. In 1989 Finland was closer to joining in Soviet Union than Nato, which is why for example USA forced Finland to end its submarine manufacturing, because they were too advanced and were therefore risk for national security of USA.

Won't automatically protect the Baltic States, not won't protect them at all. And since Estonia does spend more than 2% of GDP on defence it's presumably only the two Ls that need to worry. NATOs eastwards expansion is dead anyway, and good riddance to it. Which is probably why Finland's delegates are constantly invited to Nato's summits and why we have increasing number of military exercises with USA and other Nato countries. Although I personally would prefer if we (Finland) would distance itself from Nato and increase our own defense forces. So Trump becoming president would actually help my own political agenda as it would undermine our Nato supporters claims that we can decrease our defense forces if we join in Nato.

He already said why he wanted trump to win, because Trump said he wanted better relations with Russia, and a good relationship with the US is a win for Russia. Or it maybe because Trump said that USA will not protect Baltic states or other smaller Nato countries during his presidency, which would be quite deathblow for Nato's expansion endeavors in Eastern Europe.

I meant to write about machete guy yesterday but then thought that it don't belong here because he had fight with his girlfriend and killed her. That isn't terrorism but much more typical form of violence. And it don't even seem to be related on these new over million refugees that have arrived in Germany in past year as both machete wielding murderer and killed woman who was girlfriend of the killer were working in same restaurant.

Victims: Dijamant Zabergja, 21, Armela Segashi, 14 and Sabina Sulaj, 14, from Kosovo (ethnic Albanians) (Names released by relatives) Sevda Dag, Can Leyla and Selcuk Kilic from Turkey (Names released by Turkey's foreign minister) Hussein Ntaitzik, 17, from Greece (said to be belonging in Northern Greece's Muslim minority) (Name released by Greece news paper protothema) 45 year old woman and under 20 years old boy (citizens of Germany) I can't find mentions of names of those two victims that are said to be citizens of Germany.

Media loves Trump, he is their absolute favorite candidate. http://shorensteincenter.org/pre-primary-news-coverage-2016-trump-clinton-sanders/

Usually they release victims names within week from attack.

What is story behind this? They sent link to file in Sanders' own server, which seems to have been public as there is no username, password, key or other ways to bypass any sort user identification.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36874497 Munich gunman 'had link to Anders Breivik', Norway killer The gunman who killed nine people in Munich was obsessed with mass shootings and had an obvious link to Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, German police say. Police who searched the 18-year-old's room say they found written material on attacks. The gunman, who later killed himself, had a 9mm Glock pistol and 300 bullets. Police are investigating whether he may have lured his victims through a Facebook invitation to a restaurant. He is suspected of using a fake account under a girl's name to invite people to the McDonald's restaurant where he launched his attack. Friday evening's attack at the Olympia shopping mall also left 27 people injured, including children. Three of the victims were from Kosovo. The father of one of them, 21-year-old Dijamant Zabergja, was photographed holding a photo of his son near the mall on Saturday. The other two were young women. Police say the gunman had been in psychiatric care, receiving treatment for depression. 'Obvious' link Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae said there was an "obvious" link between the new attack and Friday's fifth anniversary of Breivik's attacks in Norway, when he murdered 77 people. Mr Andrae warned the number of injured could increase if people who had fled the scene came forward. Ten people were critically ill, including a 13-year-old boy, he said. First reports of the shooting came in just before 18:00 (16:00 GMT) on Friday. Witnesses say the attacker opened fire on members of the public in Hanauer Street before moving on to the mall. A grainy video appears to show a man firing a gun outside McDonald's as people flee. Another video shows the gunman walking around alone on a flat roof before again opening fire. He can be heard shouting at the person filming, saying at one point, "I'm German". Witness Luan Zeqiri, who was in the shopping centre, told German broadcaster N-TV the attacker had been wearing military-style boots and a backpack. "I looked in his direction and he shot two people on the stairs," he said. Mr Zeqiri said he hid in a shop, but when he left, he saw dead and wounded people on the ground. Police said the gunman was a dual German-Iranian national who was born in Munich. His name has not been released. His body was found about 1km (half a mile) from the mall. He had no known links to the Islamic State (IS) militant group, police said.

And she replied that men belong on the dining room table? That would be good addition to that twitter meme

The Young Turks are the more extreme moron Youtube version of MSNBC, Alex Jones is a crazy conspiracy theorist that runs kind of a Youtube Libertarian Fox News and somehow has way better production values than TYT. Basically TYT is everything thats wrong with the leftist media, and Alex Jones is everything thats wrong with right-wing media. I think best way to describe them is that they are something that you get when you take worst bunch of traditional leftist and right wing media and cut that final string of fact checking and substitute it with great amount of emotional bull****.

Well, Chris had kept insisting that women belong in the kitchen.

Why? They are free to choose what they say and not say and they are free to give their support or not to give their support to people running president. It is after all meant to be free country where you can opposite majority's views. But maybe Turkey has it right and silencing everybody that speaks against president is they way to go in democracies.

That should not be so surprising. Because most profit from AAA games goes to the publisher. AAA games' budgets are much bigger than indie tittles like POE, but most of that money goes to making the game (paying salaries, development tool and middle ware licenses), so profit that indie studio see from AAA game order isn't high because they are only rental workforce that makes the game and then real profits come from selling the game. I would say that making AAA games aren't that bad deal for indie studio, as they keep lights on and people in work. Making your own tittles can bring much bigger profits but they also come much higher risks and non-guaranteed income. Although crowd funding has lessen monetary risk that is involved for indie studios making their own tittles. But as we have learned in past four years there is still lots of monetary risk in making indie games even with crowd funding.

Not at all. There's oodles of different dynamics at play compared to what Pocahontas and co. faced, not the least of which is that the technology gap isn't there. A completely different scenario is like to unfold, and a much much much uglier one at that. Big difference between these scenarios is that In this scenario France invaded another continent make it part of France and gave French citizenship to its native people and some of those new French people moved to live in main France and now some descendants of those new French people are causing problems, fueled by 15 years of war of ideologies, that has divided people all around world. Other where Europe problems and causes of those problems differ from France.

Well, I dont see these 'nationalists' currently over Europe to be that much against EU as a whole or pointed against other EU nations, but more about how EU try to dictate stupid rules no-one actually wants (no matter from which country you are). And I am pretty sure that disdain of mass immigration is actually one thing which is uniting nations in EU more and more There is quite lot nationalists here, who are against other EU nations especially Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania. Because people from those countries come here to steal our jobs and they are communist criminals, etc..

Here is the RNC'a chief strategist citing My Little Pony to argue that Melania Trump did not plagiarize her speech https://twitter.com/ditzkoff/status/755455836240089088 Just for fun of it. As this should be material funny things thread instead of this, but this is world where we seem to live now.

There are lots of people in Turkey that seem to hope that Turkey can someday join in EU, which is why both EU and Turkey use membership negotiation as tool in other negotiations like for example in negotiations about refugee crisis. Current Turkish regime don't want join in EU but they know that they have easier time to keep people happy if people see that there is hope in future when regime changes. And lots of politician in EU wanted to keep open door for Turkey because they saw it way to build bridge in Middle East. So currently Turkey's membership negotiations are in freeze and they most likely will be in freeze at least until Erdogan leaves the office (because he clearly don't want Turkey to join in EU). But if Turkey introduces death penalty it means that Turkey's membership negotiations will end, and then if Turkey wants to negotiate about membership they need seek to start new process for membership negotiations which need to be accepted by all the EU members. and I see changes for such thing to be nearly non existent, it was already difficult in 1999 when there was will to expand EU and less members.

Erdogan wants to go one step further and introduce the death penalty. Makes it a lot easier to get rid of all opposition to his plans for an all powerful executive presidency. He even built the palace where he plans to spend the rest of his days... Introduction of death penalty would mean that Turkey have decided to throw all their plans to join EU away.

Most Muslims in France are citizens of France (being old colonist super power has habit to make country's population diverse) and most terrorists in past couple dark years has been home grown. The guy was of North African origin. It was not a native French, even if it is 2nd or 3rd generation, it is not home grown. it is still a result of importing alien and hostile culture. There was time when France said that Algeria is part of France (to 1962). Also Morocco was part of France until 1956

Considering that said truck was full of weapons suspected to be illegal, I would say that there are things that can be improved in either how official do their job or laws about inspecting cargoes. Inquiry reports about previous terrorist strikes in France already say that French intelligence has grievously failed in its job, and I am pretty sure that this attack will not anyway lessen French government's plans to increase intelligence work and other measures to ensure that official will be able to protect innocents from terrorists.

Reports say that estimated death toll has increased to at least 75. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-crash-idUSKCN0ZU2K7

It isn't the use of violence during formation that meant they weren't organic I thought it point of view where organic formation is one where people of nation/area themselves are the ones who behind the formation of state and non-organic formation is where outside forces are ones that are responsible of the formation of the state. Like for example formation of Israel is my opinion an example of non-organic formation of state and formation of USA is an example of organic formation of state.
