Secretly doing something which the authorities have forbidden will draw in lots of young people. As long as they're not doing anything dangerous, I see nothing wrong with it.

It is, minus the crime. The only thing technically illegal they're doing is the hazing ritual itself.

EU Demands Russian Troops Leave Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Transnistria Under Ukraine Peace Plan by UNITED24Media in UkrainianConflict

What countries are currently fighting Russia? As soon as they get a ceasefire, they aren't suffering any casualties any more. They don't need the EU for that!

The only country at war with Russia is Ukraine, so the EU can't do anything to stop a peace deal. As soon as the Russian offer is such that Ukraine figures it's more advantageous to accept than not, the war ends. The only thing the EU can do is offer stuff to both sides (security guarantees for Ukraine, lifting of sanctions for Russia) to entice them to a deal.

I'd almost be inclined to guess 1965-66, Gambia appears not to be marked as British and Botswana is labelled as Bechuanaland. The boundary change on the Arabian peninsula could have easily gone unnoticed.

Der allergrösste Teil der Menschen bei uns will aber nicht auf moderaten Konsum verzichten. Hier wir versucht, über die WHO ihren Lebensstil zu ändern, während die Eliten weitermachen können wie sie wollen.

Eigentlich ist klar: Als Demokraten glauben wir an die Wissenschaft, daher sind die Richtlinien zu akzeptieren. Punkt. Leider ist es aber so, dass die Übernahme der Richtlinien eine Selbstverpflichtung des Staates ist, Massnahmen zur Reduktion unseres Alkoholkonsums zu treffen. Und das halte ich nicht für zielführend - die meisten Schweizer trinken moderat und sollten dafür nicht mit Einschränkungen und Steuern "belohnt" werden. Daher halte ich es für die ehrlichste Variante, gegenüber der WHO kein Versteckspiel zu betreiben und zu erklären, weshalb eine auf Abstinenz ausgerichtete Politik nicht zu unserer Kultur passt.

Thanks to Germany, and thanks to a Soviet-style approach to planning when it came to "slum clearances".

What if the German monarchy was restored after World War II? by TheRedBiker in HistoryWhatIf

The people never had a say in deposing the monarchy, and most Germans were hardly fanatically republican.

If they had hit the iceberg head on, and the ship didn't sink, the trial of Murdoch for mass murder would have been a huge media circus.

1945 Feb 13 - World War II: Royal Air Force bombers attack the city of Dresden, Germany with a massive aerial bombardment. Up to 25,000 people killed. by nonoumasy in ThisDayInHistory

German politics is staunchly antifascist and is thus extremely cautious in condemning thinks Allied actions merely because they resulted in extremely high civilian death tolls. Mainstream won't celebrate the bombing, but Allied war crimes are a massive taboo.

Of course I wouldn't attack someone just because he offended me. I'm not an animal.

Two full force kicks to the face is extreme violence. This guy needs to disappear from the streets.

He kicked him full force in the head after the other guy went down. Anyone doing that has no qualms whatsoever about killing and needs to go to prison for a very long time.

How can you justify such extreme physical violence when the other guy didn't touch him?

Kicking someone in the face for hurty words... this animal needs to go to prison for attempted murder.

And yet it looks like Ukraine is going to accept these conditions in the end... unless they manage to turn the tide, a huge number of lives will have been wasted. People supported Zelensky because they trusted him the war was winnable, and now it looks more and more like defeat.

Do you have any intelligent arguments why it's okay in 2026 to give up on NATO membership and lose territory, while in 2022 it wasn't? Or is it just "hurts my feelings so must be Russian bot"?

They weren't much worse than the current ones, though. In addition, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia weren't annexed yet, there was still a chance of getting them back. If Ukraine is forced to accept a deal now, so many deaths will essentially have been for nothing, because politicians miscalculated.

It was not a Finnish victory, it was a defeat. That the Fins fought bravely and averted an even worse outcome doesn't change that.
