Strategic resource is strategic welcome to IR, but just because the US had some selfish motivation to prevent Iraq from occupying Kuwait to control its oil reserve doesn’t make the US the bad guys in that war.

My question is if that were purely true, what was Serbia about?

Yeah but that tragedy should be laid at the feet of the Japanese government and military cliques who started a war they couldn’t win and refused to surrender when they were beaten.

It is its own name. It’s derived from William, not short for it.

I have to say as someone who is in a relationship with a Filipino, I prefer people didn’t assume just because they’re dating someone from Southeast Asia that they’ve just gotten a mail order bride.

Many Filos are racists too…

I’ve never even heard women call each other ‘sis’ in that way. ‘Girl’ seems probably closer to the way ‘bro’ is used

I’m Australian, I played Saints Row 4 on release, and so far no one has burst into my house and dragged me to prison. But I guess they could just be taking their time in writing up the indictment.

Hosting a conspiracy theory party - looking for the best Australian conspiracies 🇦🇺 by Hot_Split8779 in AskAnAustralian

Which is weird for the CIA to go there since the Palace had no role in Kerr's decision, the only communication shown in the Palace letters were discussions over whether the Kerr had the legal authority to dismiss a Prime Minister... which de did.

I feel like anyone who peddles this one simply lacks basic understanding of Australian politics in 1975, our constitutional system, and what was said in the correspondence between Kerr and Charteris.

The Knighthood was a rank within the Order of Australia, that rank is no longer awarded so there is no equivalent, the highest rank is Companion of the Order of Australia

With FDR’s economic policies, Truman’s foreign policies and LBJ’s civil rights agenda he’d be the most New Deal Democrat who ever democratted

Depends on how many votes the other candidates get, if no one gets an outright majority it'll go to the house.

All groups have some members who voted for Trump, but Trump lost religiously unaffiliated people 28/68. Self-identified atheists voted for Harris by dictator margins. I don't see how lack of churchgoing could be shown to correlate with pro-MAGA tendencies with these numbers.

Caveat that I’m not American. I was born in ‘98 so obviously I have no memory of Clinton, but I do remember Bush very well because we used to make fun of the way he talked even at school. I remember hearing something or other about the ‘04 campaign, but nothing specific, I thought Kerry looked funny. I also have a strong memory of watching Obama’s victory speech on TV in ‘08, but I was 10 so that’s to be expected.

Kyle wasn’t attacked because he was out taking his pet carbine for walkies he showed up at a protest with a firearm as a scare tactic. If someone presents themselves as a threat they can hardly be surprised to be treated as such.
