  1. Armenia vs. Azerbaijan: Just an old conflict... Greece vs. Turkey: Hmmmmm.... that reminds me of something...
    847
  2. "Assist" = invade "Help" like in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, 1956 all over again...
    435
  3. "Most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." -- Walter E. Williams

  4. This is massively wrong on so many levels. If you're trying to stop the filming of potential evidence of wrongdoing, then you're facilitating hiding evidence..
    258
  5. So maybe if shoplifters, drug smugglers, rapists, crooks, mafioso and others get caught, they should just be able to leave the country and enjoy the "fruits of their labor" elsewhere...
    228
  6. Pentagon: Do you want us to reduce our troops, or remove all of them? Germany: Yes....
    215
  7. The same thing everywhere. People demanding their rights. The old elites demanding their privileges...
    211
  8. Sounds like Argentina. Up and down, and up and down. But mostly down, down, down....
    206
  9. Well, that was predictable....
    198
  10. There is a "bank run" in China for the same reason "bank runs" take place anywhere else in the world: when "trust" gives way to "fear", the people run to get their money, before anybody else gets there first.
    188
  11. Pentagon: Do you want us to reduce our troops, or remove all of them? Germany: Yes....
    173
  12. When some wisecrack reporter tried to pressure Nelson Mandela (ANC), regarding accepting support from Russia, he said: "Your enemy is not my enemy."
    170
  13. Predictable. The "power vacuum being filled"-story all over again.
    156
  14. The USA has finally shown that it can't co-operate with the rest of the world.
    149
  15. Sounds like "the Danzig question" all over again. How about a plebiscite? Let the people who live there actually choose their own political future?
    147
  16. The USA needs a third party which represents what most Americans want. The GOP leans further and further right, and the DNC is ostensibly "center left", but in reality is center right.
    145
  17. If you don't do anything to protect democracy, then democracy will not do anything to protect you...
    142
  18. When a country's "presidential" material turns a debate into a Jerry Springer-style TV reality show...
    116
  19. Live and let live. Funny how the "Bible thumpers" simply can't seem to let others be. It says clearly that "God will decide", not "a man/woman" on our planet somewhere. Well done Poland. Live, and let live. In such cases it is not for "mere man" to decide on right or wrong.
    116
  20. Russia's death toll is low because Moscow says they are low.
    112
  21. Europe stands shoulder to shoulder with France.
    111
  22. Trump: "If I'm winning, all is legal. If more votes get counted, and I start losing, it's illegal." SMH, Trump "logic".
    104
  23. Kim: "Remind them I'm still alive...je, je, je..."
    101
  24. Remember 9/11, and how Washington DC misused people's fears and anger against them, introducing laws restricting their freedom. Don't make the same mistake, France.
    98
  25. Get money out of politics. "Big money" (lobbyism) buys yourself a politician.
    96
  26. It should be pretty obvious. The Chinese are very sensitive to the history of colonialism, incl. their own suffering during their "Century of Shame", during which colonial powers bunched up on China and turned it into a giant "milking cow" the outsiders could squeeze for profit. I assume many Chinese see the establishment of Israel by colonial powers in the same way they see the current pressure on Taiwan to secede from the union (a Chinese province), from the mainland.
    91
  27. Clear case of evil government intimidation.
    83
  28. The trade war started by the US was probably the best thing that could've happened to China. When wages and salaries rise, the massive domestic market of 1.4 billion inhabitants will create a new "wave" to "surf".
    79
  29. Only a crook fears justice....
    76
  30. Fascists will always be fascists...
    76
  31. Good that there are "decent people" like our politicians, and the Catholic church to make sure moral standards are kept in place....
    76
  32. Bye bye....
    76
  33. This might be the last chance these brave people have to take their country back. If the fascists win now, they have won.
    75
  34. People are tired of the endless cycles of corruption and greed. The cronyism has become so blatant. Politicians don't even care anymore when they get exposed.
    75
  35. 90% of the comments here are pure emotions. All those "feelings" being pulled like puppet strings. The big picture is geopolitics. I agree that European countries should pay 2% of their GDP for defense. Not for NATO to be turned into a shield and as "flank protection" for a new round of a US started Cold War.
    74
  36. The USA sows division and duress all over the world, wherever their business interests run. Now, birds are returning home to roost. Everyone eventually "reaps" as they "sow"...
    74
  37. The title should read "Should we trust any corporation with our data?" Answer: no.
    72
  38. Soldier: "Go into your home...." Homeless man: "I am in my home..."
    70
  39. Protesting is OK. However where every decent citizen should draw a line is if property is destroyed or unforthcoming hatred is propagated (example: "hang person x"). Protesting politicians, going on a march, minor inconveniences, or even protesting a government banning protests is perfectly fine.
    66
  40. Money is truly the root of all evil...
    65
  41. Mike Pence the enabler is now suddenly backpedaling and "condemning the violence". Really? Isn't it a bit late for that?
    63
  42. It's political. Staged "outrage" is always to establish a false consensus.
    61
  43. The air looks "clean" but micro particles are deadly.
    60
  44. Europe stands side by side with France. Shoulder to shoulder. Let's not budge, not an inch.
    60
  45. I remember the same arguments about "freedom" and "my body" when seatbelts became the law in the 1970s.
    60
  46. Wise move for all countries which want to become more energy independent from the corrupt oil/gas producers.
    59
  47. Oh boy. Another "cultural revolution", like under Mao. What could possibly go wrong?
    59
  48. Junta: "Beijing, Moscow...we have a problem..."
    58
  49. It would have been so easy to save this 750 billion and thousands of lives, with a simple signature under a treaty. What Europe needed was a comprehensive security agreement, which takes into acount the security issues of all European countries. Too late for that now...
    58
  50. "Everybody knows" American smart bombs are so smart that they only kill terrorists... The blast is soooo smart that it automatically moves sidesways if it spots a child. Very smart bombs.
