I don’t know shit about art or culture but I thought it was just fun. Like a happy celebration of one of the few events that brings all of humanity together. I didn’t read deeply into it just enjoyed the happy atmosphere.

Someone has to help them. Who else is up on deck for that?

Anyone know if Guayana has enough of a military to deter Venezuelan aggression? I am not under the impression they can mount a defense but hoping I am wrong.

If he is so anti EU, why doesn’t he just exit the bloc? I mean they watched Brexit so they know how it’s done. If his whole message at home is that the EU is bad, why stay? Hungary either needs to remove Orban or stick to their rhetoric and leave the EU.

It will come as a complete surprise when we hear that he committed suicide by four self inflicted gunshot wounds to the head.

That article was really well done and puts forth what really should be the only main argument about the topic. If Trump supporters want him to run they need to overturn the insurrection element of the fourteenth amendment.

Unless this was a journalist, I think he should probably just tough it out. He should have known better than to go to Russia especially now. We should not be trading another arms dealer or Russian spy for someone who doesn’t have the survival instinct to not put his hand on a stove.

Imperial Japanese Naval music intensifies.

At this point Taiwan has been independent for a good long time so it’s probably time to recognize that. This comes down to what the people in Taiwan want. I’m guessing they are good with the current situation as it keeps tensions down but sooner or later they are going to have to make a hard choice and the US needs to back them on it. Either they vote for reunification (unlikely but you never know) or they unequivocally identify as not-China and completely independent. In the second case the US and world should be prepared to back Taiwan. What will actually happen? Well, if I were Taiwan, I wouldn’t want to piss of a neighbor like that who is likely to go psycho when you officially breakup. It’s like ripping off a bandaid. I would be terrified of what China will do no matter who is baking me up. Taiwan will have to make a choice sooner or later but I completely understand their hesitation.
