@iuliana1813 Lets be real. Women likely won't be fighting on the frontlines outside of a few exceptions. If they can help with filling positions behind the lines that would be a good thing, but actually fighting on the frontlines?? Yeah that would be a very bad thing indeed.

@mugin11223344 The women who have and are in the Danish military also serve as front line soldiers. Lets be real. If the Danish military were fighting a full scale war as the Ukrainians currently are you would not be seeing many if any Danish women fighting in the trenches getting shelled, drone attacked and fighting Russian soldiers in close quarters conbat. Even in Israel where most women have to go to mandatory military training like men do they don't put female soldiers on the frontlines which is why all the operations that the Israeli army has been carrying out against Palestinians/Hamas in the past few months have been done by male troops. In otherwards even in nations that are the most active in having women in the military mostly don't want them to operate on the frontlines and especially in offensive combat roles. When it comes to women being frontline combat pilots in airplanes or helicopters that's at least more doable because they're still not involve in direct contact with the enemy, but having them as frontline soldiers? Yeah not a good idea at all and it would be a decision of last resort. As much as we want to believe that men and women are equal, in reality they really aren't and there's nothing wrong with that when men and women are meant to compliment each other and not be in direct competition with one another.

@rambleon2838 Low birth rate is because modern society has told women that its more important to build their own careers than get married and be a housewife and also affordability is a big issue too. Unlike many 3rd world people, persons in western countries are usually more responsible and think about whether or not they can afford to and have the time to properly raise a child properly.

Its unfortunate that your dad had more serious symptoms, but for the vast majority of people who have ever been infected by covid, the effects have mostly been moderate to almost nothing. If you look at the statistics, the overwhelming majority of covid deaths and hospitalizations have been among the most elderly and sick. There's not one country on the planet where covid has massively affected even decently healthy people under the age of 60 in a hugely significant manner. I've always wondered why the medical and scientific community along with the media, politicians and all the people who are so afraid of covid absolutely REFUSE to acknowledge this fact and also how young people and kids are barely affected by the virus? Also covid has behaved like the flu since the start of the pandemic. Do you not find it weird that every summer even before any vaccine existed, the number of covid cases and hospitalizations magically went dramatically down during the spring and summer and then it started to rise to higher numbers during the fall and winter? Isn't that what the flu does as well where we see almost no cases during the spring and summer and then come fall and winter we start to see increased flu cases? Covid is no different except its more transmissible.

@johnnysgaminglab2126 Remember that time when the USSR lost vast amounts of land and took hundreds of thousands of casualties in the first few months of being invaded and then later on they took everything back and then some? I guess they should've surrendered right away to avoid losing anymore territory and people needlessly right? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

@McLKeith What benefits does the vaccine have to young healthy people who have never been significantly affected by the virus to begin with? In Canada I don't think even 100 people under the age of 20 died from the virus in the entire country during the pandemic and yet the government still insisted millions of young people get vaccinated anyways. If our government and health experts keep saying they want to 'follow the science' then why didn't they follow the science on this fact that young people aren't affected by the virus in any significant way?

@mugin11223344 The Danish army was involved in a situation in Bosnia in the 90s, where they pulverized a number of Serbs. Danish female soldiers were involved in that. A little blond girl with blue eyes was one of those who had the most kills in the army, and is probably still very high on that list. Can you name this Danish female soldier and provide a link to what she did in Bosnia? I'd genuinely like to read about it and see how she was able to gain all those kills. Also I've watch a ton of videos and have read a bunch of new stories about the war in Ukraine since it began and as far as I've seen there are extremely few women actually fighting on the frontlines and they're probably snipers and the few females that are in the trenches are likely medical personnel. Of all the countless combat videos I've seen coming out of Ukraine, I've yet to see any Ukrainian female soldiers in actual combat against Russian soldiers ever.

@ryanadams127 The lawmakers were able to barely get a last minute vote in, before it was too late. Seriously though even if there wasn't a vote to stop martial law from being implemented what would be the difference? You would likely have hundreds of thousands of Koreans protesting on the streets probably in all cities until the martial law measures were reversed anyways. There was no way that this would've lasted long term.

@Andrewza1 How long will Cape town be fine for before its their turn? A country that's falling usually starts from the outskirts and works their way up to the big cities.

@stupidburp I think the number of women on the frontlines are extremely small even now and I'm almost 100% certain that those women who are currently anywhere near the frontlines ARE NOT fighting soldiers, but probably in support roles like a medic or something.

@AK47z Can you imagine that all human beings are equal? Except all human beings ARE NOT equal whether we like to admit to that or not, that is reality.

@banksiasong Lets be real. While some women want to serve I don't think the majority would want to join the armed forces. Also most women wouldn't be capable of fighting as frontline soldiers and men are mostly just keeping women from hurting themselves because they've watched far too much media and have listened to too many feminists who have told them falsely that they can do whatever men can do when they really can't.

The difference is that Russia has lost much more men and equipment in 2 years than the US and NATO have lost in all those years in Afghanistan by many times over.

@stupidburp Some people are better suited for front line combat than others. But with a manpower shortage even less suited volunteers are preferable to reluctant conscripts or worse, an empty slot. You know what's worse than an empty slot? Filling it with a person that's not qualified or ready to fight on the frontlines that you have to constantly keep an eye on and protect from danger. The best thing with Ukrainian forces having more women in its army right now is to free up more men to become combat troops to help those that are already on the frontline with the fighting and allowing them to take some time off after being in constant combat for so long. As I said before allowing women to be combat pilots, drone operators or be in some other long distance combat role is fine, but thinking they can fight on the frontlines especially for long term is madness. I served with some women that were harder and stronger than most men. Should not prefilter out potentially good soldiers, let them all try to pass the entrance training and fitness standards. If this is actually true then those women are unicorns that DO NOT represent 99.9% of the rest of the female population on this planet. For every woman that can fight as well or better than a man, there's at least 100,000 that are much worse. All you have to do is look at Israel who despite being one of the very few nations that mandates that both men and women serve in the military, EVEN THEY don't send women into offensive battles. Almost all female soldiers in the IDF are only expected to handle defensive duties of protecting Israel. Pretty much all offensive actions undertaken by the IDF still almost all are done by male soldiers. So even the IDF who has one of the longest histories of training women for combat have still concluded like most every other sane person that its not a good idea to put women in harms way unless absolutely necessary because they're simply less capable then men.

@elawson1991 Eric Lawson Considering for centuries, we in the western world ran roughshod over these same places without any respect for those places and then asking they respect our countries is the level of cognitive dissonance I never want to achieve. Please tell me how nations like Sweden have 'ran roughshod' over these countries? I'm not aware of Sweden being heavily involved in Africa or the Mideast much do you? And yet why are they suffering now when Swedes being gracious yet naive have taken in hundreds of thousands of people from those regions and they're now causing huge amounts of crime and violence as a thankyou to them. What do you have to say to that?

When people say "but the climate's always been changing," it would be like losing your leg in an accident, and then the doctor dismisses it by say "but the human body is always changing." I think many if not most people aren't disputing that the climate is changing, but rather WHO OR WHAT is causing the climate changes. Our politicians and tree huggers are blaming human activity and behaviors as being the problem when in reality its largely simply mother nature that's probably mostly responsible. If people don't think this to be the case then just look at pandemic when human activity from individuals right up to huge businesses was largely ground to a halt for at least several months and guess what? All the data shows that despite modern human civilization being brought to near life support levels around the world where only the bare minimum of society was kept operational to keep people alive, despite those insane drastic measures the amount of carbon emission reduction WAS MINIMAL. Namely we shutdown practically all human activity around the world and it only made a modest impact at best at carbon emission reduction.

@danielleremp4328 If you mean why this knife attack in Germany is covered elsewhere in the world, its probably because its a probable terror attack and also violent, public crimes like this happening in Germany is still relatively rare although increasing in recent years. With regards to shootings and stabbings in the US, well its a normal daily occurrence so its not really newsworthy enough to become international news unless its a really big incident. The interesting thing is that in Europe, the US and Canada the vast majority of violent crimes are committed by the same few demographics of people across all these nations who are almost always not native to those nations.
5
@anthonysabini9496 Talking about it while being heavily censored and with most of our leaders refusing to do anything about this ever increasing problem. How come attacks like these almost never happen in places like Japan and South Korea. Its almost like their governments ACTUALLY CARE about their populations and their safety and hence decided NOT to import hundreds of thousands of these violent people from certain regions of the world.

@huginug It's definitely not the majority as you say. Quite the opposite, most people have persistent mysterious side effects that apppear after covid. The sleep disturbances are among the most common, incidentally which also are so important for our immune systems and health. google statistics for insomnia in relation to covid, and various other mental disorders, health complications and so on and stop spouting about the "majority" because that is nowhere near the truth I'm not saying covid doesn't affect people differently and that some might experience long term effects after getting it and even after they largely recover from it. However no one can deny that the overwhelming majority of people who have gotten covid either didn't get significantly sick enough to require going to the hospital or else they only suffered mild symptoms at best. If large amounts of people were suffering significant long term effects we would've heard about it constantly these days. Its no different that a good number of people who took a vaccine shot and suffered significant long term complications that impacted their lives and others who took the shot who even mysteriously died shortly after. It happens, but they are outliers and were unfortunate to suffer side effects from the shots when the vast majority didn't. That doesn't mean that many thousands of people who took the shot didn't suffer from it when if they didn't choose to take the shot they might still be fine today. I think far too many governments just went completely nuts over the virus when we knew within the first couple of months that the elderly and sick were the most vulnerable people to the virus the same as they are to the flu or pneumonia or some other kind of illness. I just look at how the Japanese government handled the pandemic and wish all other governments did the same. Japan took precautions, but they only ever had one brief shutdown at the beginning of the pandemic and NEVER SHUT DOWN AGAIN for the rest of time when places like Canada where I am had a number of shutdowns and partial shutdowns during the past 3 years.

@bravewarrior1218 Myanmar is a very diverse country with many ethnic groups, each with their own history, culture, and identity. However, the state has failed to recognize and respect this diversity, and has often tried to impose a dominant ethnic identity on the rest of the population. This has led to resentment, discrimination, and marginalization of ethnic minorities, who have taken up arms to defend their rights and autonomy. If people want Myanmar to remain a united country, then all those tribes/ethnic groups need to give up some of their culture and identity and look at the big picture where you're apart of a larger country that you should be helping to make better and more prosperous rather than only worrying improving your own group's well being. Look at China where for centuries different ethnic groups/factions/warlords etc. only cared about themselves and wanted only for their groups to be in power and prospering. Nothing good came of that and China remained divided, weak and poor. It wasn't until the Communists came along and finally united the country by force did it then go on the path to becoming the strong, prosperous nation that it is today. Sure there's still plenty of problems in China, but the country's people are no longer fighting each other and tearing the nation apart from within and the standard of living for everyone has gone up at least to some degree if not by alot. That's the way Myanmar should be progressing where people need to put aside their tribal differences and work together towards a better nation. Get rid of the current government and put in charge people who can actually manage and run a country and have everyone work together. Otherwise you'll just end up like the former Yugoslavia.

@stupidburp Nope, they now are over 10% of the total force up from 0% just a couple of years ago. It takes time to make the shift but Ukrainian women are standing up. Some of the earliest volunteers were assigned as snipers and their main complaint at the time was that the uniforms made for men didn't fit very well, but otherwise they were doing fine. Sure there are Ukrainian women serving with their military, but outside of those few snipers, almost none of them are actually fighting on the frontlines as soldiers. I've only ever seen them on the frontlines as medics or in some other support role. There's been a few videos that I've seen during the war where they showed Ukrainian women in uniform laying dead on the battlefield, but never was it during combat. So if more women are joining the Ukrainian army to help that's a good thing, but none of them should ever be a frontline soldier because they'll never be able to handle it when even plenty of men can't handle it. Many are also assigned as small drone operators working at the front just a bit behind the contact lines. That's the best place for women who choose to serve to be. Behind the frontlines in support of frontline soldiers. If people are honest then they'll acknowledge that women aren't suited for frontline combat units because outside of a tiny few exceptions, women aren't physically, mentally and emotionally capable enough to operate long term on the frontlines of a battlefield. The one big exception to this is combat pilots or serving on a combat vessel where you can be on the 'frontlines' without physically having to fight the enemy in close quarters. And really outside of being perceived as not being the 'equal' to men, I really don't know why any woman would ever desire to be a frontline soldier when they should be thanking their lucky stars that they can usually avoid all the horrors of war that men have to deal with where even if they survive a conflict, many will have to deal with PTSD for the rest of their lives.

@Joe Smith Russia is pretty far from winning when you look at it from a strategic level. Ukraine is forever lost to the Russian sphere of influence and they will only get closer to the EU and the west as the years go by and I wouldn't be surprised if and when they eventually join NATO and the EU. As well Russia while gaining significant territory has failed in capturing the entirety of Ukraine and installing a puppet leader and government similar to what's in Belarus. At the end of the day Russia has gained a decent portion of Ukraine and its questionable if it was worth all the lives lost, money spent and equipment destroyed that will take many years to replenish. The silver lining in all this is that Russia's neighbors likely won't have to fear the Russians as much in the coming years because they've been severely weakened by the war.
4
@firstnamerequiredlastnameo3473 The Russians did indeed start out with a huge amount of things and they are indeed slowly running out which is why you're seeing tanks and IFVs from the 50s and 60s being used. Can you ever imagine the US army running out of armored vehicles to the point that they're using tanks and IFVs from the 50s-60s as front line vehicles? I certainly can't.

@Fluxwux According to Google, Sweden's murder rate has been more or less hovering around the 1.00 per 100,000 mark for many decades with some years being abit higher and some years being abit lower. The difference is the demographics of people who are committing the majority of violent crimes in Sweden the past 10-20 years. Crimes that were very rare 20+ years ago.

@darkfox-wr9bu * Yeah, but Ukraine canceled the peace deal thanks to Boris Johnson.* What was in this so called 'peace deal' that would benefit Ukraine? If its very little to nothing then it was a deal that was rightfully rejected. No matter how costly this current war is its better to fight it once than to fight it repeatedly as we've seen since 2014. The ONLY path to permanent long term peace and security for Ukraine is to join NATO so that they can never again be invaded without NATO forces coming to help them in full force.

@puraLusa it's conscription, aka, training not actual going to war. And this is positive as in case of war, being at the frontline or not, having thr training makes it easier for the pop org itself, having women trained means more civil self-protecting. If women want to join the military then that's fine, but unless they're being forced to I really doubt that the majority of women or even men for that matter would want to join on their own.

@Big Boss If people were allowed to defend their communities with little reprecussions and criminals, the amount of violence and crime would drop dramatically.

@Kausila Chetty Sounds like all the George Floyd and BLM protests in the US in 2020. All of it used as an excuse to loot, burn and destroy things while police are told to stand back and do nothing much of the time.

@guillesrl7569 Could we not ague that a larger supply of workers, with no unions and with lower comp demands, will actually lower the cost of construction and therefore actually help solve the housing crisis? A larger supply of workers who are willing to take less to work will lower the wages for many other Canadians and also people's standards of living. Also this only works if developers weren't building the majority of new housing for people with money rather than making it affording for the average person and the poor. If a developer builds a 300 unit condo tower, you'd be lucky to have a few dozen that were made 'affordable' while the rest would be sold to those with cash to spare. The only way to make sure the majority if not all 300 units were affordable is if the government built them specifically to be affordable housing to begin with and with no intention of making any profit off of them.

@utkarshtrivedi8870 Himars made some impact on tactical level but on strategic level it made no impact. Wonder weapon Himars were destroyed by the extremely cheap drones and in CB fire. So much so that we don't hear of Himars anymore. When your enemy can no longer place any large ammo/supply dumps anywhere within MLRS/HIMARS range because they'll likely be blown up shortly, I'd say that that weapon is having a strategic impact in this war. Heck the Russians can't place any target of value within MLRS range without the possibility of it being destroyed.

The only path to long term peace is for the west to give all the equipment and supplies they have to Ukraine so that they can fight better and shorten this war with a decisive victory. After that let Ukraine join NATO ASAP and then we'll finally see long term peace again.
2
Still don't get why the Russians are in full retreat without even fighting back? Its one thing to be under heavy pressure and deciding that falling back is the only choice, but its quite another to just be in seemingly full retreat without putting up much resistance. It makes no sense.

Everyone knew the Donbas offensive was coming and that didn't stop the Russians from going forward with it.

@puraLusa *a lot of folks don't want to go to school either but it's also mandatory, so . Sometimes uve got to do stuff u don't want to. An utopian world where everything is voluntary doesn't exist.* I think it really depends on the location of your country and how many threats you believe your nation is close to. I live in Canada and I can't imagine any type of conscription/mandatory service being implemented here simply because there aren't any threats to this country thanks to two oceans separating us and almost everyone else. If Canada had a land border with Russia that might be a different story.
2
If they have the best western game changer weapons and 1500 Russian soldiers are dying a day according to western media then why they're deserting. Because the men being recruited now aren't anywhere near as motivated to fight for their nation as the ones who joined and volunteered before the war started. Many of them are dead, captured or suffered injuries that prevent them from fighting anymore and of course the next waves of men joining will be less and less willing to fight unless Russian forces were marching into Kiev or something. I'd say if NATO countries had provided maximum support from the beginning of the war by giving them tons of modern western weapons, this war might've ended by now with a Ukrainian victory or at least have put them in a much better position and saved many thousands of Ukrainian soldier's lives. The problem is NATO to this day is still only giving the Ukrainians just barely enough to survive and continue the war without enough supplies to weapons to allow them to achieve a major victory if not complete victory.
2
If we're talking artillery shells then there's still plenty of 155mm around that NATO and the US could send to Ukraine to fight Russia with. The only thing is that NATO countries don't want to send everything they have to Ukraine because they want to keep some shell reserves for themselves. If NATO had seriously gone all in at nearly the beginning of the war and had given Ukraine a large portion of their modern equipment and ammunition, this war might already be over by now.
2
@ruderyan4028 So the Congolese much like the Afghans don't think their country is worth fighting for? Then they have to live with the consequences of their decisions and stop begging for outside help.

@rmac3217 The more obvious choice has always been Michelle Obama. I would 100% bet everything I own that if she ran, she would've beaten Trump easily. Why? Because she's a likeable person that could motivate Democrats to come out to support and vote for her in huge numbers and perhaps even get some GOP and independents to vote for her as well. Many people have always wanted her to run for the presidency and unfortunately for the Dems, she never wanted the job.
2
Call Boris Johnson, he told Zelenskyy to fight on, while he went back to England Better to fight than to become another puppet state like Belarus has become. At least now no matter how devastated their nation is, much of Ukraine will remain free and eventually be able to hopefully join NATO and finally gain long term peace and security for their country.
2
@hfourie7121 Lets be real. So called 'democracy' doesn't even work all that well in many western countries, just that its less screwed up than in 3rd world nations. Being able to vote is just an illusion to make people believe that actually have 'choice' when in fact its often all a lie.
2
Well not much humankind can do about it when its mother nature running things. The pandemic proved that human activity only impacts carbon emissions a modest amount in comparison to what nature does to the planet. There's plenty of data that shows that during the pandemic when the world was brought to a near standstill that even with that extreme low level of human activity that carbon emissions barely dropped in any significant way. Like a 15% or so decrease compared to when humans are living normally. If bringing the modern world to a near standstill the likes of which we'll probably never see again didn't move the needle, then that proves that once and for all human activity doesn't really impact carbon emissions and climate change anywhere near what we thought it did.
2
Blame the Democrat party for putting up such a poor candidate to run against Trump in the presidential election when they could've held a party election and allowed Democrat members to choose who they thought would be best to go up against Trump. Instead the Dem leadership pushed Harris as their pick and that was the end of it and now this is the resulting disaster from those decisions.

How many healthy people have died to covid vs elderly and unhealthy people? I'm sure there have been some healthy people with little to no medical conditions who have died to covid during the pandemic, but they are few and far in between compared to the vast majority of people who have died to the virus who were elderly and/or sick with other medical conditions.
2
@ragemode7595 And the 'people's will' or at least the ones with the most power is to choose to remain in the stone ages. Trying to help nations like these is pointless and the world should just leave them alone to sink or swim and let them figure things out on their own.
2
@huntergatherer7796 That's the thing if you make these supply depots be within Russia, then it means its going to make it that much harder to keep your frontline units properly supplied. Also there's no guarantee that targets in Russia won't be attacked as we've already seen a number of times during the war.
2
@gfys756 One day this war will come to an end one way or another and at that time Ukraine can join NATO. I would be very surprised to see it end like North/South Korea where there's no official peace treaty of some sort that ends the conflict and we're simply left with an ongoing war that becomes low intensity indefinitely.
2
Well no one is stopping EU nations from stepping up and helping out countries like Montenegro to build their infrastructure. So why haven't they done so if they're so concerned about China stepping in?

There wouldn't be any suffering to begin with if the Russians hadn't invaded Ukraine in a full scale assault a year ago.

@chavaamu You can't compare like that. Biden won Gerogia by just 15k votes when people were against Trump, a sitting President. Realistically Biden would've lost the 2020 election if covid didn't happen. With so many people having nothing to do, they decided to go and vote especially with mail-in ballots that turned the tide in his favor. On the night of the election Trump had Georgia and Pennsylvania in his column and then the mail-in ballots gave those states to Biden. In a regular election like this time around, Biden loses those states.

Take control of the resources and do what? The only reason the Congo and every other African nation can even get access to their resources was because of western technology and engineering. Even if you kicked them out, all the knowledge and skills to repair and maintain those systems that can extract the wealth will go with them and everything will eventually break down and Africans will be back to where they started to begin with.

Aren't Russian soldiers dying on the orders of Putin for a war that never needed to be fought to begin with?

@donovanattano3898 a women can hold a rifle they can fight in the frontline Anyone can hold a rifle, but not everyone can be an effective soldier. Look at all the hard battles that have been fought so far in this war and tell me that female soldiers could survive that and fight effectively? Yeah I don't think so. If you use women as frontline soldiers then that's a sign that you're losing so badly and taking so many casualties that you're forced to use anyone on the frontlines regardless if they can actually fight or not. Just place women in a position where they can contribute the most and that means putting them behind the lines in logistics, medical, intelligence etc. jobs where they can help without being a burden like they would be at the front.

Why do the pro-Russian hacks talk about gaining a small city after more than half a year's fighting at heavy cost as some great victory? I guess when you don't have much positive news anything will cut it I suppose.

@Hunter_J_Biden So Luka became Putin's bootlicker afterwards then. Same thing. Belarus is married to the Russians and now cannot escape from them, not without getting invaded just like Ukraine did however unlike Ukraine they don't have the population, the territory or the army to fight back with.
1
Russia also cannot win a war against Ukraine as long as the west keeps sending support to them. It seems to be slowing up to a degree right now, but I doubt the west will abandon Ukraine after investing so much in saving them and keeping them alive for so long.

Marcus GH Ukrainian media (Kyiv Independent) had said that from the official Russian millitary side (not DPR/LPR militiamen, they have taken the biggest casualties) that Russia lost around 16k men, and probably around 25-60k wounded. Only in Russia and Putin's dreams do they wish that Russian army losses were so low.

And Russian men are fighting Putin's war. Do you really think any of them want to fight in Ukraine for the glory of their nation? LOL.

@veljkoivetic1903 Russia has no problems with manpower. So why did they bring in thousands of North Koreans to join their war? Why did they raid their prisons to take everyone they could to bring them into the fight? Why are they offering ever higher wages to join the military to fight for them? Those aren't things that you do when you have 'no problems with manpower'. Theoretically Russia shouldn't have issues with manpower, but they do because they don't want to fully mobilize all their young men for the war. If he could do that, don't you think Putin would've done so already?
1
As long as you recruit women to do the support jobs like medical, logistics, being a mechanic etc. behind the lines then it should be fine. In more frontline roles if you have them being drone operators or even snipers that's fine too. If you have women fighting in the trenches on the front that's when you know things are going horribly for you.

@raybarton7725 That's why 'democracies' are a JOKE. What's the point of giving people the right to vote when most people aren't very bright and shouldn't be allowed to have a say in electing people who are making decisions that can significantly affect our cities and country?

@djkinetic2020 My point is that if social media existed in WWII, many if not most people would look at the massive losses and territory lost that the USSR was taking in the first few months of being invaded and probably told them that they had no hope to fight back and win. So if the USSR can eventually build up and retake its own land and more, why can't Ukraine eventually build up and take back at least some of the land they lost?

No different than the George Floyd 'protests' where many took the opportunity to go out and get some free stuff.

Dems best candidate would've been Michelle Obama. Could've filled the Dem dream of having the first woman president of color running the nation and she likely would've beaten Trump because many people actually like and are motivated by her unlike Harris. However she doesn't seem ever interested in running for president and so the Dems should've just picked the best available candidate rather than just give Harris the nomination without an election.

How many native children actually suffered 'trauma' from residential schools and how many got an education from them? Seems like native people want Canadians to think that everyone who ever went to these schools were brutally abused and killed when there's little evidence of that. Still don't understand why many of these bodies from these graves aren't dug up and had autopsies done on them to find out the cause of death and when they died? You'd think that would be the first thing they'd do to confirm their stories?

@sketch9062 Colossal waste of money. Haiti created these problems for themselves, let them fix them by themselves. If they can't fix things, then too bad.

Or maybe stop bringing in 3rd world people who have no business being in Europe? That would be the best solution.

@frostflower5555 If you watch the daily videos coming out of Ukraine, there's NO WAY you'd think that the Ukrainians are taking the bulk of the casualties. No doubt that Ukrainians have suffered heavily, but Russia has suffered MASSIVELY and just like so many other wars in the past involving Russia, being large has its advantages.

Michelle Obama would've won easy if she wanted the job, but she never wanted to run so its going to have to be another great female candidate to make history.

How come everyone knew that the Russians were going to push a Donbas offensive after they pulled back from the Kiev front? Where was the secrecy and security then?

@glendawest5256 Money given to native people is either wasted and/or stolen by their leaders because even after decades of funding there's still very little improvement in their communities and their people.
1
@theloniousm4337 Maybe native people should stop wasting Canadian taxpayer money on 'healing wounds' and start spending that money on educating their kids and fixing up their communities? It really is astounding to see how much money is given to native people and how little they accomplish with it. Probably much of it is either wasted or stolen by native leaders and all the money that we keep throwing at them is as pointless as lighting it on fire and letting it burn. This is also why until recently they've repeatedly cried racism anytime any politician asked them to open their accounting books to see where and how the money given to them is spent.
1
Not really. They just don't care about their own people enough to not throw all their men's lives away needlessly. Its no different than in most every major conflict that Russia has fought in during its history.
1
That's why democracy SUCKS and why people need to take a test to prove they're intelligent enough to vote and make an informed decision. Its dumb that everyone's vote counts for the same when so many people aren't bright and shouldn't be voting to begin with.

@joecater894 its not that they won't work ... its that there isn't enough of them being born and the next gen either... all the while the elderly are growing. This is why you spend the money to help the elderly now WITHOUT increasing the population dramatically and when they eventually pass on the next generation of people retiring will be smaller which means you'll have to spend less to support them. Also look at how much technology, science, engineering etc. has advanced in just the last 20 years. There's no reason not to believe that in the next 20 years that many jobs will be automated and won't require workers anymore which means you won't need as many people to keep a nation running.

Every public event requires significant security in western nations thanks to the decisions made by politicians in those countries. Funny how you never see heavy security in nations like Japan and South Korea. Gee I wonder why? 🤔🤔🤔

@migueldoriste5129 I think you're on drugs if you think Russia is superior to NATO as a whole. Sure as individual nations many smaller countries would fall to Russia, but France and UK? Doubtful as long as they have enough ammunition and supplies to keep them going. Even Germany would put up a good fight. The US obviously would curb stomp Russia without much trouble.
1
That's right and then we get to the heart of the matter that native people REALLY care about. Namely the money because its ALWAYS about the money with these gold diggers.
1
Can someone explain the logic of proposing a ceasefire while simultaneously providing one side with military aid? If anything US and NATO should have been increasing their military aid to Ukraine to give them better ability to fight and hold ground while doing as much damage as they can to Russia so that they can negotiate a better peace deal compared to western nations giving them just enough to survive.
1
We've also lost count as to how much money these gold digging natives keep demanding from everyone to compensate for their 'trauma'.

@milnjfasgasg466 If the Russians aren't losing a ton of men, then why even bring in tens of thousands of North Koreans to the battlefield?
1
@johnfarray2821 the difference is that Russia is fighting NATO of 50 countries in urban areas while USA were fighting flipflop AK47 militia located in a middle of nowhere. NATO doesn't have 50 countries in it and not all members are hugely supporting Ukraine right now like the Hungarians. Also we already saw how the Russians did back in the day fighting the same goat herders and farmers and they still lost a ton more men and equipment than the Americans did. On the otherhand if the US were fighting against the Ukrainians they would've done what the Russians couldn't and actually destroy the Ukrainian armed forces in a matter of weeks if that and have conquered Kiev.

Some Dems wanted to have an election at the convention with several candidates running for the nomination so that people could vote and the Dem leaders shot it down and gave it to Harris.

@jaypaige7550 I don't get why western countries don't just go all in at this point and win the fight against Russia and get things over quicker if possible. This war will have long term consequences in Europe and I'd rather have Ukraine win a decisive victory than to have this war drag on longer and then eventually both sides negotiate for a peace that neither will be happy with and that could lead to yet another conflict down the road. Beat Russia decisively, end the war and join NATO. Ukraine is now safe from future attacks unless the Russians want to take on all of a NATO. That's the best outcome.
1
Well Ukraine isn't a Russian puppet state like Belarus is are they? That's a win already if they can maintain their independence and not be invaded again even if they lost apart of their nation and many lives.
1
@JollyOldCanuck Then why don't native people go after ONLY the people involved in those residential schools rather than ALL Canadians of whom 99.9% who have never had anything to do with it? How hypocritical is it for native people to lump everyone together and yet everytime a native person commits a crime they say 'don't generalize all natives'.
1
@Andrew Is that why asian countries are exploding in crime and violence when there are hundreds of millions of people living in poverty in that region? Oh wait. Most countries in asia don't even have a fraction of the crime and violence that many African countries do even though so many are poor there.
1
All the more reason for Ukrainians to try and gain a decisive victory on the battlefield and join NATO so that Ukraine and the world don't have to go through this again in the future.
1
Native people are just salty that they lost and now they're just trying to get back at people on a neverending revenge tour rather than spending their time raising their children properly and improving their communities and working towards a better future.
1
Doesn't it say in Ukraine's own laws that they can't hold an election in a time of war? Even if they could hold elections who would recognize the results when 20% of Ukraine is occupied by Russia and millions of Ukrainians have fled the country?
1
Its an even bigger shame with the amount of harm native people do to themselves. This is like BLM who always get angry over all the 'injustices' that they perceive others do to them, but then ALWAYS turn a blind eye to all the harm and damage they do to each other which is orders of magnitude worse.

The Montenegro Gov will need to raise the toll cost by a multiple of 5 just to break even and cover the loan, and this doesn't cover the annual maintenance. What if the Montenegrin government and its people make good use of this new highway? What if it significantly helps in increasing economic activity in their country so that they can not default on their payments and perhaps even make some money too? Also if this if vital infrastructure how else would they get it built? If the EU was so concerned about the Chinese and how they 'trap' countries in debt, then why didn't they reach out and help the Montenegrins in building this and other infrastructure that could help their nation grow?

@RoxAnna417 actually that is called ethnocetrism - 'the belief that one's culture is superior to, or more correct or normal'. complete BS if you ask me and I would guess you'd agree but yeah..just thought we should get those definitions right Well if some people are able to create modern civilized and largely peaceful societies and other people aren't able to do the same despite neverending help then how is one culture not superior to another?

No need for impeachment when he will be defeated in a landslide in the next election. Its too late anyways because he's already caused so much damage to this country that its questionable that if Canada will ever be able to recover from it.

Lets make a deal. We'll give them back their land if they promise to give up all the technologies and modern inventions that they've never created themselves but have appropriated from modern societies that they hate so much. Everything from cars to the toilet to the smartphone they need to give back and apologise for appropriating these things and never acknowledging and giving thanks for benefiting from these inventions that they had no hand in creating.

@gfys756 I see the outcome being similar to a Berlin Wall 2.0. The eastern part of Ukraine will most likely remain under Russian control. I think it would be very bad if the Ukrainians couldn't regain at least southern Ukraine up to Mariupol. And its probably a pipe dream, but if they could somehow retake Crimea as well then losing the Donbass region would hurt somewhat less. But realistically if they could at least regain most of southern Ukraine and all that coastline before trying to negotiate for peace then perhaps things won't be as bad. If they can't then they shouldn't stop fighting and become like the Vietcong or Taliban and try and outlast their opponent.
