Paleophyte:
- I have no spellcheck in the forum. The OS is spellchecking me in the default language of this computer. But let me see if I can make it better.
- That’s not what I said. There are shorter sea routes in the Arctic Ocean that will become more navigable in the coming decades. I would need maps to explain this to you. But Russia has a lot of harbors along this sea routes and China has already sent 1 or 2 commercial ships to Europe through that sea route (that is shorter than the Sues canal or the Panama Canal – if your destination is the US).
Greenland becoming totally independent could have been a problem (what if Russians decide to land on it?). But as long as they are with Denmark, They are with Europe / They are with NATO and everything is fine. Did you get it?
- These are all personal opinions. My theory is that there are a number of red lines that even dictatorial regimes cannot cross. See: I remember the days when Putin was seen as an authoritarian but progressive leader in the world. He even alerted the US before 9/11. He used to be an ally and a friend of the West. Then he decided he needed Crimea and all of this changed overnight.
In the Obama era, there were treaties and hopes for the situation of Iranians to improve. See: just 2 years ago it looked like Bashar al Assad survived the Arab spring somehow. Now it seems like he is gone for good no matter what.

- I am worried about this type of Christian “Holy War” like attitudes too.
But we are not back to Cross vs. Crescent. When you have people who say “In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful” and do deeds that do not benefit humanity or life on this planet. You force the other side to hit you back in a similar manner.
And this isn’t “killing their own” they called their own people “spies or traitors working for Israel” then they killed them. They did the same to Azerbaijan. They launched several missiles on this country (allegedly for letting Israeli spies operate there and plan their missions in Iran) and their trolls on social media were spreading the message that (again) Azerbaijan was working for Israel.
As long are they are concerned, it’s either them or Israel. No one can keep his/her distance to both

Quote:“This merely shows that you're too dumb to be a troll. Trump's antics with Greenland achieved nothing except to alienate allies that he now desperately needs. Greenland was never under threat of invasion by anybody and it would have triggered a full NATO response if they had. Greenland was a secure asset a long way from anybody who was going to threaten it, other than Trump. Russia has a war in Ukraine to deal with. China's on the opposite side of the globe. Who are you worried about here? Canada? Mexico? Algeria? Your theory is imbecility invented to defend an imbecile.”

Quote:“You think that only god people can win? How precious. I have a prediction for you. Trump's going to get bored and fuck off, leaving Iran no better off than it was despite the deaths. The Ayatollahs will win for no better reason than he's a moron and a coward.”

Quote:“Well, that's just plain dumb and stupid (no offense). Anyone who can be convinced that it is their duty to kill and die for their gods could very well win. When you factor in that war criminal Pete Hegseth says they won't be allowed to surrender, you've made fanatics that much more fanatical.
History is cheek to jowl with religionists killing their own. Study up.
