Loki, I don't deny that this will be very challenging. But I think the cases of IS and AQ are actually quite instructive, because neither of them is...

Wig, you lived through the same Afghan and Iraq War as the rest of us. You know your claims about Hamas's ability to stay in power are nonsense. For...

While I don't trust the overall casualty numbers in Gaza (and certainly don't assign all of those casualties as noncombatants killed by Israel), I...

Let's take your 5k number (which I don't buy because Hamas is clearly exaggerating the overall casualty numbers and Israel isn't only killing Hamas...

Seriously Loki that's a shit source and you know it. Anyone who claims to know how many fighters have been killed is lying. There's evidence of about...

Because populists appeal to the gullible and uneducated. Also, some people just want to see the world burn.

I voted for VVD, Yesilgoz to be more precise. Not because I agree wholeheartedly with them, but other centrist parties were significantly worse....

Reminds me of the "this is what America will look like under Biden" pictures (showing homeless camps) that were taken during the Trump presidency.

There's no compelling evidence for this asinine "backlash theory" having effects of anything near that magnitude, and growing evidence to the...

Maurice de Hond's opinion polls show that the surge was quite sudden and strongly towards Wilders. There seems to be a strong correlation with a...

Brexit finally begins: ...

Leona is a heavy bleeder. So when she's in heat she wears nappies inside. Until yesterday pricey ones specially for dogs. Those ran out yesterday and...

You're not the only one not having an idea. The system is very convoluted and the rules of coalition making are there only to be shoved aside if they...

No, but that might be a good first step to make sure they can't hide there anymore, the real issue is the tunnels though. Israel also needs to take...

And you actually believe that destroying most buildings in Gaza will remove Hamas's ability to strike Israel?

At this point I can't imagine the dummies in Gaza are going to learn in the short term. They literally cheered and heaped abuse on dead women. At a...

I can only imagine what your political preferences would be in the 1930s.

I have no idea about the politics in the country, but the usual people in the media are wailing and crying so I can only assume its good.

Just like a sizeable number of certain groups supported Trump even though Trump said he wanted to kick those groups out of the country. They just...

It's actually not true most major parties have a tough line on immigration. There is a relatively widely held opinion that asylum is an out of...

Most of the major parties decided to adopt his tough on immigrants line. How well would he do if they took a more moderate approach? I'd be less...

That's all very nice, but it also was remarkable to see these two reactions in my own family. It wasn't the type of 'I am moving to Canada' talk. It...

Just following a concerning trend of centrist parties collapsing and their voters heading to the far right.
