There is really one strange thing about that attack. The attack itself was carried out in a professional way. They got in there, shot the place up, lit it on fire and managed to escape. Their escape though was totally amateur. They did not change cars and all 4 of them were in the same car. In...

If you actually bothered to read the source that I posted, it is CRITICAL of Hough's estimates of tens of thousands of casualties. They label his figures as being ideologically driven. They are also equally critical of Rummell's figures for being drum roll... ideologically driven. Funny both...

Speaking of RJ Rummel, here is what his wiki page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_Rummel, says about his work: "His figures for Communist governments have been criticized for the methodology which he used to arrive at them, and they have also been criticized for being higher than the...

I don't think the Covid leak was deliberate. There is significant international co-operation on biological weapons control. The reason for this is that biological weapons are indiscriminate and they affect everyone equally. Once unleashed, regardless of where in the world, they are extremely...

Thanks for pointing that out man! I usually post from my phone and well this happens lol

Regarding Ukraine and Afghanistan, Western leadership and the media have drastically overlooked and ignored the severe shortfalls of the Western-allied Afghans and Ukrainians. Corruption was rampant in Afghanistan, a country largely run by drug dealers and other criminals. Drug abuse was...

I am curious in your estimation how many casualties has Ukraine suffered in this conflict ? Obviously firepower matters but I would imagine that you also need people to use said firepower. Several of these articles talk about critical manpower shortages in the Ukrainian army. There also appears...

Yes and the Soviets had higher casualties than the Nazis did. For every 1 Ukrainian casualty there are 1.5-2 Russian casualties. However for every 1 Ukrainian there are 4 Russians. Russia is a 1.8 trillion dollar economy, Ukraine is a 178 billion dollar economy. In an attritional war a bigger...

Well speaking of casualties we have this article that actually talks about BOTH Russian and Ukrainian casualties...

https://time.com/6329188/ukraine-volodymyr-zelensky-interview/ This article was published in Time magazine, which is not a Putinist or even MAGA source. A few noteworthy excerpts: "When I raised these claims with a senior military officer, he said that some commanders have little choice in...

Theres 300+ million arabs and not even 10 million Israelis. Most Arabs have a pretty high birthrate, Israelis, with the exception of the ultra-orthodox Hasidics, don't have high birth rates. The numbers game is not on the Israeli's side. This vaguely reminiscent of the fate of the Crusader...

This is hardly surprising. Its pretty obvious that Israel's current course is unsustainable. You have an "island" of a few million Jews who are on pretty bad terms with almost all of their Arabic neighbors, and the wider Islamic world. The only way I see Israel surviving is if they able to...

I agree. And in your opinion, are these war crimes too? : https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2022/saudi-war-crimes-yemen/ https://www.nytimes.com/spotlight/the-civilian-casualty-files-pentagon-reports

I was in downtown Toronto today, and I walked by where the refugees are. I had a very interesting conversation with a Ugandan refugee. He told me he came to Canada because he heard that in Canada you get a free house and a good paying job. I pulled up this article on my phone and asked him to...

Yes, I have heard that Cuban Americans are a more right leaning subset of the Hispanic population, and I think they have historically favored Republican over Democratic candidates. But when looking at Hispanics as a whole, they tend to be quite pro-Democrat. As this article outlines...
