Last post by Crazy_Ivan80 - Today at 03:47:34 PMQuote from: Duque de Bragança on Today at 03:34:19 PMQuote from: Norgy on Today at 11:27:12 AMThere are always more plays for a real estate magnate wanting more to sell.
Norway, for instance. Azerbaijan. Kuwait. But most importantly Brazil. His old friend Bolsonaro is suffering during house arrest. Get Brazil, and you have a jackpot. Country divided between Bolsonaristas and the ones who supported Lula. The highest rate of conversions to Evangelical faiths in the world. Also: Hot chicks, but yucky brown colour.
Old US ally? No matter. Who cares anymore.
Both Bolsonaro and Lula don't object much (ahem), if at all, to Putin's war on Ukraine so Putin could lose another ally?Well, happened to Venezuela, but Venezuela was in a much rougher state than Brazil.
Nah, Cuba and Nicaragua first.
Pretty sure Putin won't mind that much if at the same time he gets to add the scalp of NATO to his belt (after getting the US)

Last post by Duque de Bragança - Today at 03:41:07 PMI had not heard of Réaumur in a long while; except the métro station in his honour (Réaumur-Sébastopol).
Caoutchouc is still the common French word for rubber in general, however. It's from an South American native language.

Last post by Baron von Schtinkenbutt - Today at 02:59:11 PMGift link to not-exactly-the-same article, but covering the subject more broadly.
Yes, I agree we have created a major entanglement we will not be able to resolve quickly, and on balance have severely destabilized the region. I do think there's still a modicum of control, but I don't think this administration will come anywhere near exercising it, so I guess it effectively is beyond control at this point.
The most likely way to make this worse would be for the regime to lash out at "disloyal" NATO members who refuse to be drawn into this shitshow. I'm not sure how that would manifest, since Trump only seems to know "bombs" and "tariffs". I still can't fathom the possibility of the former against NATO nations, and the latter is played-out at this point. I really hope the first part isn't wishful thinking by me, though, since that's a quick way to end up in the "then major hostilities commenced" phase.
Quote from: Jacob on Today at 02:41:48 PMIt's quite possible we're through the "things leading to" phase and well into the "by then events were escalating beyond control" phase.
