No, no one can explain that. At least not in a way that makes rational sense.

The International Criminal Court issued warrants for Putin in 2023. Thank you to George W Bush for withdrawing from the treaty. Putin will be safe on USA soil.

It might have something to do with current US administration not giving a shit about Ukrainians and having dumb fascist for a chief of state.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

I’ve done literally thousands and thousands of loads of laundry in my life, so why am I still surprised that zippers are hotter than the hinges of hell when fresh out of the dryer?

i wonder if the scariest moment ever in history has happened yet.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Maybe, maybe not. But I can think of some good candidates.

I would guess that scary is different things to different people...so it seems a tough moment to point to.
Yeah, I doubt very much that there’s a single scariest moment. Candidate events would have to frighten large numbers of people to be included - what frightens people in Cambodia probably wouldn’t frighten people in Canada.

I would wager that both Cambodians and Canadians would share similar fears of the same things. An angry grizzly comes to mind. Now I've scared myself!

Fair point. The fearsome Cambodian grizzly has been terrorizing those poor people for centuries.
