  1. As Volo would say...NO...
  2. To put it in simple terms they can't use the same ship to sell in Cuba and the US. Most of the things that are sent via shipping containers would not be profitable to send, it's the big ticket items that usually pay for the shipping container, then rest of the stuff that fills it is just extra at that point. Cuba doesn't buy the big ticket items so it's not profitable to send them the small stuff.
  3. Now you are being disingenuous, it's hard to have normal trade when any ships carrying goods to Cuba are forbidden from docking in the US ports. This makes it prohibitively expensive to ship anything to Cuba.
  4. So I guess that's it for season 1 of Loki... Overall I would say it was good but it did go downhill for me as the story progressed, especially because I thought it would be a short show that would tie in to a later movie.
  5. That is the rigmarole they went through to circumvent the 1971 provisions that the article linked talked about. Even when you read the "law" you mentioned above and combine that with this, you get Germany breaking it's own laws. Cool. You seem really passionate about Kosovo, so I was wondering what your deal was.
  6. That number is pretty fluid. Countries are retracting their recognition while some are giving it. Do you want me to list the institutions that don't recognize it, because I think mine trump (haha) yours. 1971 provision prohibits in principle the export of weapons to non-NATO countries. That transformation was in name only and doesn't change what it actually is, a glorified police force. It's still under the direct control of NATO and can't do anything without their say, like, for an example, cross the border in to the north of Kosovo. That they find ways to circumvent their own laws doesn't really have any bearing on the matter. Look harder, there is a German article on it. I'm curious, where are you from originally?
  7. I started to post the above video in this thread thinking I got it from somewhere else...
  8. It's a stupid post that I don't care was removed, it just seems like a strange line in the sand to draw, especially the comment about posting better content... Who gets to decide what is good content, you guys? Anyways, I'll try to not post things like this anymore.
  9. Kosovo is not a country recognized by any formal institution, it doesn't have a standing army nor was it ever allowed to have one. Even disregarding all those things, Germany is breaking it's own laws by selling arms to a non NATO country. There are always concerns, but I doubt it would change much if ever such a conflict arose, as was demonstrated in 99' when they were completely defeated even though they had full logistic and air support of US. We even captured a couple of US soldiers that we released shortly after.
  10. A letter leaked between Heckler and Koch and the German goverment where another shipment of arms, valued at half a million, will be shipped to Kosovo...
  11. The interesting part was after the "argument", but whatever. Still a strange line to set, when there were post here of people shooting each other, police brutality and war crimes. Either those things are allowed or they are not, it's not the mods job to rate the "quality" of a post.
  12. If you read the comments, there is a link to a news site where she paints over all the cameras in the building...
  13. If he goes to the Olimpics (and wins it) he can also have a Golden Slam and would be the first man to achieve that.
  14. Get a standing desk, the one that can raise up. I've been thinking about getting one for a while. Other than that you have my commiseration...
  15. Considering that the short stories, ie. the first books are the best, by far, in the series I don't hold much hope if they follow the source material closely.
  16. Yeah, we were missing Bogdanovic too... Either way they should have still won as there were good players left. Not feeling that bad about it tbh, there really is no point in them qualifying if that is the best game they can bring.
  17. Overall good, I would say, but then again not like I frequent anime forums that much. I would recommend it for the awesome animation if for noting else. I found the story engaging enough not to fast forward at all and that is pretty good in my book.
