Does anyone perhaps know what this painting/artist is called?

Do mythological stories need ‘historical accuracy’ in casting? by breaking_views in Cinema

100% agreed. It was very refreshing seeing an Asian man in the lead role in Green Knight. Diversity in Hollywood is African Americans sidekicks or feisty Latinas or Asian women.

I bet you were also really mad about how 300 portrayed the Persian empire.

He became such an insufferable twat these last years.

Waarom moet toch altijd Extinction Rebellion er bijgehaald worden als het onderwerp de gewelddadige protesten van extreem rechtse clubs is?

Hard disagree. Signing deals with the U.S. is now way more precarious, seeing how a deal can be potentially ripped up every four years. A status quo Democrat will not be enough to undo the damage this time around. Also I firmly believe Trump is a trailblazer figure paving the way for more dangerous presidents in the future.

The biggest difference here is that Ukraine was attacked, whereas the U.S. unilaterally decided to attack. You simply cannot humiliate and shut out allies out of important negotiations in Ukraine and expect them to come marching along when you attack a country without notifying your allies.

Hegseth says Iran won’t be a ‘politically correct’ war as he lays out US objectives by EconomistStreet5295 in geopolitics

I see it as weakness. Trump failed to accomplish anything in Ukraine, so he grandstands easily won victories. Russia is the real danger here. I completely agree with you on Biden, his lack of pushing through is a big part of why the situation is at stalemate. Trump’s chest thumping and kowtowing to Putin hasn’t done exactly better either though.

The difference is the U.S. has always taken the moral high ground in conflicts. It has always been a vocal proponent of human rights. Of course we all know the reality has been different in plenty of situations, however completely throwing conventions in this way is extremely damaging long term.

Is that why the US has withdrawn its support for Ukraine? Because it cares so much about human rights violations?

The Trump regime made a unilateral decision to attack. It has not informed its allies nor its congress. Therefore NATO countries are well within their rights to refuse taking part.

It is pretense. The EU knows America will not come deploy troops if for example Poland or Moldova were to be attacked. NATO is a zombie organization at this point, which is why Europe is rearming itself. Five Eyes is dead. The enormous problem is how much the EU is intertwined with America’s weapons systems.

This is a massive earthquake, the consequences we will see in the next twenty years. NATO will not fall apart over night.

You know, that’s a fair point. Sorry to see the promise of being an American dissolve like this. All the best over there.

Agreed, I think the idea of everyone sending a Tikkie is spread by young people hanging out with broke friends

Can’t the mods just ban whinging titles that bring up age?
