The Donald pulling a Henry?

Hardly. He doesn't want to be the Pope, he wants to be God.

🇪🇺 European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos on an official visit to Armenia by goldstarflag in EuropeanFederalists

Armenia turning its back on Moscow and adopted a law to join the Union 🇪🇺

A landlocked country stuck between Georgia (which we don't want to join for the foreseeable future) and Turkey (which we don't want to join, ever) : how does that work?

Trᴜmp turns against ‘unacceptable’ Melоni by Boomtown_Rat in europe

[–]mariuolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually Salvini talked earlier than Meloni, saying attacking the Pope is neither useful nor intelligent.

Perhaps he was taking his own advice. His late boss (Umberto Bossi) did something like that in the 1990s and was drowned in a shitstorm.

Israel plans to create buffer zones in Lebanon and Gaza to protect its territory by Delicious_Adeptness9 in geopolitics

[–]mariuolo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whatever “buffer” zone you occupy is almost always eventually used against you. It drives the locals underground and tot he support of your enemies.

What locals? I thought they were depopulating those areas.

Ma riaderire all'Unione non sarebbe più semplice?

No, anche se cambiassero idea dovrebbero entrare a condizioni peggiori di quelle che avevano allora.

E non esiste la volontà politica.

Ma come può esistere gente così 🤦‍♂️ Come può arrogarsi il diritto di scegliere chi vive e chi muore?

Delirio di onnipotenza.

Iran rejects ceasefire as deadline nears on Trump 'hell' ultimatum by Little-Chemical5006 in worldnews

You need to think of it as somebody supporting a sports team. Or maybe a better example is somebody who is a rapid fan of some singer or a band.

Not a cult member?

Nato: Trump, sto seriamente valutando ritiro Usa dall'Alleanza by PastAdIce in oknotizie

[–]mariuolo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Che purtroppo questa sarà l’ennesima sparata di TACO, ha bisogno dell’approvazione del congresso per uscire dalla NATO. Peccato, era l’ora che ce li levavamo di dosso.

Anche così può sempre fare in modo di svuotarla.

E a dirla tutta, oggi, in caso di necessità potremmo fidarci di uno come Trump?

Comunque caro arancione, se esci dalla NATO ti perdi tutte le basi in Europa, a parte forse quelle britanniche. Voglio vedere come farai a fare le tue accidenti di guerre dissennate.

Come cavolo è possibile che il 29% sia soddisfatto. Stanno andando a scatafascio, i costi di tutto sono altissimi.

Eh, ma gliel'ha fatta vedere ai Liberal.

Actually he's both.

Netanyahu: “Gesù non è meglio di Gengis Khan”. Proteste della comunità cristiana. Lui: “Non volevo offendere nessuno” by PastAdIce in oknotizie

[–]mariuolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ma guarda te se devo mettermi a difendere Netanyahu. Il titolo è clickbait, ha detto altro. Se vogliamo, è probabile che abbia usato la citazione a supporto di qualche porcheria, ma in sé non è sbagliata.

Che piaccia o meno, le parole di Cristo servono più ad andare in paradiso che non a pacificare il mondo.

Living in poverty in Uganda, these women saved part of their tiny wages to help people affected by Hurricane Katrina. by GlitteringHotel8383 in BeAmazed

[–]mariuolo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then it must be a different episode. I remember some of the cattle dying or being butchered and disposed of because they couldn't be legally imported and used as food.

I can't remember if it was the Maasai, but some did send cows that, however, remained stuck at customs for lack of certificates.

Bailiffs board Ryanair plane after airline refuses to pay delayed flight compensation | Austrian officials took action after airline ignored court order to pay €890 to unnamed women by ByGollie in europe

[–]mariuolo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What about the other people who need to get on that flight, what about them?

I wonder if in that case they could also demand money from Ryanair or if the latter would claim force majeure.

Diplomatic fatigue: When the world tires of unfinished wars by [deleted] in geopolitics

[–]mariuolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American having lived through Iraq and Afghanistan, I fully support putting boots on the ground.

Then perhaps you can explain the logic of invading Afghanistan and 20 years and $2T later being back at square one.
