  1. There are already "Intercity" trains between major cities. It should be expanded to include small towns and villages, without borders.

  2. Didn't they make a movie about this idea to contaminate the oceans with nuclear waste? I believe it was called "GODZILLA."

  4. Google, etc. is software. 5G is hardware. Apples and oranges. There is another angle to this (corporatism).

  5. For the same reason Europeans had kids during WW1 and WW2. HOPE.

  6. USA: Naughty naughty boy.... Germany: OK bye...take your nukes and killerdrones along with you...oh, and close the door on the way out...

  7. America is is when your POTUS gets impeached because of a bj in a cupboard, but when your POTUS incites a crowd to storm the symbols of democracy, it's "divided" about how to react...

  8. Smart people take care of their environment.

  9. Climate is changing: unusual floods in some areas, unusual drought in places it usualy rains a lot.

  10. Irony is that he had to fly to NZ to carry out his hateful crime because Australia has strict gun control, making such a crime highly unlikely in Australia.

  11.  @nullvoid564  Incorrect. Europe is mostly "center left". This center left has the authorities on their side, and the authority. That benefits the left, who is passive. The far-right are therefore the ones carrying out these types of actions ("storming" a symbol of power). In the USA it is exactly the other way around, with mostly "center right" in power. This center-right has the authorities on their side, and the authority. That benefits the right, who is therefore passive. The far-left are therefore the ones carrying out these types of actions ("storming" a symbol of power).

  12. New York has hundreds of vacant buildings that would've been far more secure than "tent hospitals".

  13. All nurses and medical staff need a massive tax free bonus this year.

  14. USA: Prisons full of "drug offenders" as a matter of policy. Russia: Prisons full of "protesters" as a matter of policy.

  15. Start growing potatoes and keep a pig in the backyard...just like the "good ol' days".

  16. It's far more than that. We only know who has been tested. There might be millions of carriers still spreading the virus. Follow the advice folks. Stay inside, wash hands often, keep your distance....

  17. Well done Belgium. A little late but "rather late than never"... Pathetic history doesn't need to be celebrated or acknowledged.

  18. Sorry dude. The "Bible" isn't a legal document. Who signed it again? Where are the signatures? Right. There are none... Nobody signed anything. It cannot serve as a justification for a claim of ownership.

  19. His duties are mainly representative in nature, sort of like the British royal family.

  20. Thank you USA, Russia, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and everybody else, for making the world such a better place... [Sarcasm, of course]

  21. Words are useful but action is more valuable. I've never understood how societies can pay their carers, police, and nurses (for example) so little.

  22. Well, think of the bright side. All those poor back in the USA financed the weapons handed over to the Taliban with their "food stamps". A worthy cause...lol This is how "empires" go down.

  23. They knew there'd be another Versailles, so they thought they might as well deserve it this time.

  24. The USA has always exported it's problems elsewhere, trying to find scapegoats for their own failed policies. This is just another attempt at deflection from the core issue here: The complete and utter failure of their War on Drugs, costing US taxpayers a staggering 50 billion dollars every year...

  25. "Greece". Says it all. Outside rivalry being fought out in Europe.

  26.  AmarNathan  "Guard" against whom? Our health services work, because they are basically "I scratch your back, you scratch mine"-systems. What the taxpayers or contributors pay in, gets paid out again. Without a profit motivate, nothing is wasted on dividends, corporate profits, and some well-connected manager's multimillion dollar villa in the Cote D'Azure...

  27. How many packages of sanctions were created after the USA/Britain illegally and without international acceptance attacked Iraq in 2003?

  28. Time for human beings to start working together, rather than the constant affront and war. Start together, and focus on conquering space together.

  29. Reminds me District 6 in Cape Town during the Apartheid era...

  30. Rules maybe, but not logic... British leaders were fools, and ignored the big picture... And of all the "big pictures", this is the biggest of all... The worst choice of all was ignoring the reality of how Europe had been "set up" to protect the British Empire. The British Empire was actually protected in Europe by uniquely "balancing powers" on the continent. For more than 100 years, "balancing powers" on the continent, kept these powers opposing each other, unable to divert military or economic resources to affront the status of the British Empire as the nr.1 in the world... According to the logic of this policy, completely ruining a power on the continent, would lead to an imbalance, which could then be directed at the British Empire... Therefore, totally destroying Germany was neither wise nor in GB 's interests. Concerning WW2. Firstly, a 100% collapse of Germany as a power...was a dream condition for communism (Moscow) and US corporatism (Washington D.C.). After WW2, there was no strong Central Europe to "balance out" the rise of communism (Moscow). France broken, pissed off by Mers el Kebir and slipped under Washington's wings... Germany = alles kaputt Eastern Europe = overrun by the commies... GB was no longer the boss. Nothing left to "balance" with... Sorreee. That's just how it goes if your eternal "balancing" games on the continent go south... [Search for: britannica(dot)com/topic/balance-of-power] Washington got tired of bailing GB out, and decided to become the "balancer of powers" in Europe herself. And down went the British Empire too... Sad. "Justifiable" is a bs premise for any debate concerning war. What really counts is smart leadership, and Brits sucked at geopolitics/geostratey, and lost their Empire....

  31. The "vietnamisation" of war. Tying down as many minions to weaken the rival.

  32.  @calvinsylveste8474  Nah...too expensive.

  33. ​ @thomaskalbfus2005 The USA doesn't want peace in the ME, because big business benefits from eternal war. Quote the Intercept, with regards to this long history: "At a period when it appeared in public that an agreement with the Soviets might be imminent, Kissinger told an underling — as he himself recorded in his memoir “White House Years” — that was not going to happen because “we did not want a quick success [emphasis in the original].” In the same book, Kissinger explained that the Soviet Union later agreed to principles even more favorable to Israel, so favorable that Kissinger himself didn’t understand why the Soviets acceded to them. Nevertheless, Kissinger wrote, “the principles quickly found their way into the overcrowded limbo of aborted Middle East schemes — as I had intended.”

  34. Thanks Donald, for "signing them away" to an Apartheid state...

  35. Another example why all treaties should come with an automatic 25-year term limit. If the parameters are still valid, renegotiate. If not, a treaty expires.

  36. Gross incompetence...

  37. It's very simple. If you don't want a legal abortion, don't get one.

  38.  @12tanuha21  Where are the borders of this "Israel." Who decided these borders?

  39. Same all over the world. The self-esteem of a nation should be measured by how they treat their poorest, not by how they spoil their richest...

  40. Gold coins will only work if they are in useable denominations, which one can actually use to carry out daily transactions. Who is going to walk into a supermarket with a 1,800 $ coin?

  41. Sure they did. I'd love to see the original.

  42.  @travisdelahoyde9355  If a country has 3 times as many devices and test centers, it doesn't make a difference :-) Also, small densely populated countries have an advantage.

  43.  @cassinitakano5736  It's not about the trade deficit, but rather about how to establish unfair advantages for US companies, using bully tactics. If Washington were really sincere, they would address the trade deficit via "fair trade"-methods, slapping fines on goods produced by inhumane business practices like sweatshops, child labor, worker exploitation, etc.

  44.  @notmypotato3730  Your ancestors no doubt settled on cheap/free land stolen from native Americans. It's not 1850 or 1900 anymore.

  47. Biggest crowd ever....period. Evidence? Because I said so, lol. [Trump "logic"]

  48. Tired of all the "winning" yet? 40 million unemployed. 100,000 Covid deaths. A nation more divided than ever. Cities burning... Reminds me of Fallujah in Iraq. Birds coming home to roost.

  49. "The bombing of Plzeň in what was then Czechoslovakia. The official history stated that the Skoda works in Pilsen "received 500 well-placed tons", and that "because of a warning sent out ahead of time the workers were able to escape, except for five persons. "The Americans received a rapturous welcome when they liberated the city. Zinn wrote: I recalled flying on that mission, too, as deputy lead bombardier, and that we did not aim specifically at the 'Skoda works' (which I would have noted, because it was the one target in Czechoslovakia I had read about) but dropped our bombs, without much precision, on the city of Pilsen. Two Czech citizens who lived in Pilsen at the time told me, recently, that several hundred people were killed in that raid (that is, Czechs)—not five." Copied from the Film Archives Channel (YouTube) After World War II, Zinn attended New York University on the GI Bill, graduating with a B.A. in 1951. At Columbia University, he earned an M.A. (1952) and a Ph.D. in history with a minor in political science (1958). "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." Henry Kissinger

  50. So China doesn't renounce the use of force? Why should it? Has the USA or GB ever renounced the use of force to achieve their strategic goals or interests?
