I did that yes. Women having little to no rights helped more.
Not that I see it realistic option now.
If hypergamy is a problem, making people more economically safe helps. People tend to marry people of similar education/class if there’s little fear of poverty.
Male loneliness is a bigger phenomenom for sure. But there are lonely women too.
I have to admit that I was quilty to this too. It’s the negative connotations that people have towards islam. They are partly deserved, since some islamic countries are terrible places for women to live.
Trump just said the President of Finland looks like a cruise ship captain and said Georgia Meloni should have a baby with Elon Musk and name it Eloni Meloni.
To Ukraine’s credit, they did stop the Russian military from taking over the entire country. They are probably the most capable ground military in Europe right now, certainly the most experienced.
Keeping NATO out of Ukraine was obviously one of Putin’s war goals.
Did you hear that Putin allegedly gave Trump’s envoy Witkoff an award to pass along to the CIA’s current Deputy Director for Digital Innovation whose son died fighting for Russia in Ukraine? Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.
I don’t understand this cope. I see it as the equivalent of saying “Germany did not lose yet in 1943” after the the disastrous end to their assault on Stalingrad, even though that is widely regarded as the turning point of the entire war.
Do you think the five years it took the allies to defeat Germany in WW2 was “slow”? And that was a 3 on 1 fight! The idea that a modern peer conflict can at all be compared to America stomping brown people armed with rusty AKs in the sandbox never ceases to amaze me.
As for casualties - they are only immense if you uncritically believe the Kiev Independent, a news source that has by now reported on more destroyed Russian tanks than what Russia ever claimed to have in their inventory.
You just discovered “might makes right” or “big stick diplomacy” that America has used for decades. Your country will always have a geopolitical master - what difference does it make if it’s America or Russia?
Not sure which tweet you’re referring to. If it’s the hallway one - it’s a funny picture! Reminds me of students who got in trouble and are now sitting in front of the door to the principal’s office.
Either post appears to be stupid crap I read on X. As if waiting for a meeting to start is somehow an insult to the dignity of foreign leaders. What were they supposed to be doing, getting massages?
It appears to me that the peace talks are going quite well, and that the most horrific slaughter in Europe since Stalingrad might be coming to an end.
The casualties are quite immense no matter whose propaganda figures you choose to believe. Since you brought up WWII, yes, the progress has been slow. WWII in Europe was a maneuver war of massive encirclements enabled by air superiority, which neither side has achieved in this war. This war is much closer to WWI attrition warfare, which is hell on Earth for anyone stuck in the trenches.
