		You have a black and white vision of the world. Diplomacy and the art of war require a more refined approach. And I think that twisting other people's words like you did doesn't help you in the quest of getting an accurate vision of the world. Putin's propaganda is trash. But CNN (and the neocons)'s propaganda is trash as well. Do you remember Iraq?

		Well, here's my opinion (it's just an opinion): - Words: Le Drian shouldn't have spoken of nukes in February. Le Maire shouldn't have spoken of "collapsing the Russian economy" in March, because his didn't, but it sure seems that ours did. - Azerbaijan: this country is horrible. Azeris are barbarians who rape, kill and massacre Armenians. We shouldn't buy these people's gas. - Empty threats: We don't make threats that we can't enforce. If we threaten to do something under conditions, then we enforce the threat. Otherwise, we're not credible, we look weak. - Russian minorities: Europe should've intervened to protect Russian minorities (specially in Donbass) in the past years. - Respect of Minsk agreements: make sure everybody enforces them. - European defence: Europe should've built an independent EU defence in the past decades. We shouldn't have relied on NATO for our protection. NATO's objectives are American objectives, which are not fully aligned with ours. NATO wants to weaken Russia, they don't care if we get weakened in the process (some may enjoy seeing us weaker and more dependant). I don't pretend it's an easy matter, but that's just my opinion. Please just don't twist my words again (otherwise, it's just you discussing with chimeras)

		Disagreeing with someone and thinking you hold 'the truth" doesn't give you the right to twist other people's words. No.

		That's your opinion and I respect it. This does not give you the right to twist my words like you've been doing the past days. No. Just no. I don't say Putin is not at fault, I said he as lots of wrongdoings, but this goes way back and NATO is not a virgin. "Both sides" was referring to nukes and missiles (you just have to read back - or just read - to know it) I still think that NATO's objective never was peace (at least since the 2010s), but the destruction of their former cold war's rival, which is a very silly tactic.

		Yep, definitely. Misinformation has always been part of wars, but with new tech, it seems to be even worse (which seems counter-intuitive). I don't trust anyone's information on this topic (like on many). Europe is going to be one of the biggest losers in the end, but it's just the continuation of the aftermath of WW2 and decolonisation. Europe has been weakened since decades and several forces keep trying to pillage what's remaining.

		Sansa have acquired the qualities of rulers in the end. She acquired strength, and showed ruthlessness in the last episodes when it was needed. She acquired several facets which kept adding to her personality. She had a more interesting journey than Ramsay who always stayed the same. She became the stronger predator in the end, which gave her the opportunity to eliminate him. ---- Bran also started as weak and became stronger, but his journey is more magical/supernatural and less of a traditional hero's journey.

		Yeah, not just because he was a sadistic douche. He was a very bad strategist. His father told him to not behave like a mad dog, said he was gonna die like one. And that's what happened in the end. All in all, he had only one string to his bow: being a sadistic brute. You can't be a ruler like that. A good ruler is strong, fair, sometimes ruthless, sometimes merciful, intelligent, charismatic, etc. Being multifaceted is key. His father was smarter and a smoother operator.

		Very interesting, thanks! 65k is alright, but not that much, I would've thought more (maybe there are other sources of income, like ads )

		Who "laid the blame with NATO for everything" here? My post is one sentence and it says "both sides". You've started a habit to twist people's words in the past days. Why? What's the point? You weren't like that before Escalation is from both sides and the world is not black and white with the good and bad guys. Putin attacked first and he did lots of wrongdoings, but NATO isn't a virgin either (it goes back to the 90s).

		Hypersonic missiles + heavy nukes on both sides = things can go badly if shit escalates

		Zelensky is a charismatic leader. He and his team are communication geniuses, which is a tactical advantage for Ukraine. But he's a novice in the art of war and he seems to be a risk taker. Why not... but some risks he takes are very high (not just for his country).

		Do you remember Charles Dance in Alien? He was good. He had the same kind of mimic. His voice is also a great asset: it's deep and his pronunciation is precise.

		It seems more like a negotiation between him and the US government on financing Starlink's costs in Ukraine. There's a problem between Biden's administration and Musk's companies. Musk shouldn't interfere in diplomacy (but Gates shouldn't as well, and Soros, etc.) The real problem is that the actual guy in charge (Biden) is a senescent puppet under the influence of neocons and unrealistic advisors (though they are very effective). And Putin is a solitary guy with nukes (which is even more worrying). Putin is certainly a destabilizing force in Europe, but Biden's USA is not a stabilizing force either.

 I like the way the Liver King advertises his diet, but... it's very unhealthy. I hope he doesn't really follow this diet (crude meat, offals, etc.). In fact, I'm pretty sure it's not his real diet. I gotta admit, Americans are pretty good at marketing stuff. I'd be curious to know how much money he makes a year. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjszVfngVNx/- Andor on Disney+
 I trust people with genuine Star Wars background/appreciation on this. As I said, I've heard it's "alright" (from SW fans), but I still exercise my caution for now.- Andor on Disney+
 @SympathysSilhouette Dude, you just don't read what people have to say, do you? Here: I don't have infinite time, so I just want to check if a product is worth something before investing some time in it... It's simple. And I didn't even bring some "cultural discussion" (though I could if that's what you want )- OMG FACTS

 I hear only positive feedbacks from this show. I have to admit it starts to really catch my interest now.
