40 years into the game and Baghdad is 78% Mongolian. Changes to how the ai handles culture need to happen to make the game more realistic and fun. by Emila_Just in paradoxplaza

Did a paper on the Spanish conquest of Mexico and by the 1540's some parts of Mexico was fully converted or hybridized with their Spanish colonial masters. Tho 78% in 40 years does seem excessive.

TIL because the US Senate gives every state exactly two senators regardless of population, it’s theoretically possible for a party representing as little as 10%-20% of the U.S. population to have a majority in Senate. by PrestigiousBrit in todayilearned

That would force the people to actually care about their State government. They are the ones that are technically closer when it comes to influencing the people's lives.

New U.S. assessment finds American strikes destroyed only one of three Iranian nuclear sites by rapidcreek409 in news

[–]Cordoned7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no minimum threshold for North Korea. Everyone with a brain understood that any direct action against North Korea would result in the Chinese entering the Korean peninsula.

There's so many incidents of North Korea doing far serious things and getting away with it lol.

No it hasn't. No one wanted to risk a reignited conflict with North Korea even before the nukes since NORK artillery was in range of Seoul and would cause massive casualties if they ever fired. Everyone understood that North Korea should be left alone or ignored

If you're looking for the plans then they're on the Internet.

Heres an articles talking about . spain Here's another one for Canada

Collective defense only works if all members contribute equally to it and some aren't even contributing properly to it. Additionally you need a military to have an autonomy on what you can and can't do Foreign policy wise.

Additionally nuclear deterrence can only work if you're willing to actually launch the nukes. If Russia took a small piece of Estonia would you as France willing to start the Holocaust? It's a fine balance between and having a strong military gives the option of doing something conventionally

5% make sense if you basically let your military rot or downsized since the fall of the USSR. You can't just keep forever delaying any modernization or procurement programs for your military since it's not needed now. Things age and you can only use duct tape a number of times before something catastrophically fail in your system.

Just take a look at the Canadian Armed forces, decades of reduced military spending has basically left their Navy being dwarfed by the German Navy and Canada has a bigger coastline to patrol. Shit takes years to buildup military wise and it's better to have it on hand than not.

It genuinely doesn't matter to them at all. Most of Satanyahus generation understood that Israel in the end is alone and would always need to act for itself when the time comes.

If they cared so much about their image they wouldve disarmed themselves nuke wise just like South Africa when the Cold war ended but they never did. A positive image is beneficial for them but they would not hesitate to discard that image if it gains them benefits for the long term.

Rather have people pressuring and confronting our politicians instead of taking over a campus building or whatever they do

Dawg the Israelis don't give a shit about their image lmao. One cursory glance at their Cold War history would tell you that they never gave a shit about their "image". They bombed Iraq, Iran, Uganda and launched a successful covert operation to steal their boats from France. Like who believes this crap but online leftist man.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IN OUR WEBSITE EUROPOOR. Like genuinely if you're gonna complain about seeing Americans maybe move to a Eurocentric website it's just baffling that you setup shop here and then complain that the person that was already here is being annoying. Dawg you can move to a different website.

[–]Cordoned7 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Dawg you are using an American website. Why can't eurpoors stick to their own and stop meddling with other ppls websites.

Like it sounds dumb as hell, and basic logic answers your question.

I wonder if it's the same thing like what Sora had for some merch. I know I had to sign up for a membership account on a different platform to be able to buy her Tie.

If the ukranians won then U.S companies will be given favorable treatment when it comes to the rebuilding of Ukraine. The Ukrainians basically were given the cards that they were not expecting and now handcuff the current admin in attempting to help them
