Today I learned- an acre is around 1/2 a football pitch.
Now I can actually visualise acres.

That's cool. I have always pictured it as about 5 times the size of a suburban lot in the US. Half of a football...er...pitch is a little easier.

Do Brits still use acres? I figured you had moved to square meters...er...metres by this point.

I'm curious though how modern China would deal with such losses.

might not register, it's not even a 1000th of their population

A strategy game view. If its your son you absolutely will notice it.
And China in some ways seems a better place and some ways a worse place for that kind of outrage than Russia.
Though I suppose they will probably follow the same pattern of killing off minorities rather than people from the major cities.

European leaders are weak willed, like most of their populations. Combined with an atmosphere of oikophobia and subsequent lack of belief in the superiority of our cultures and societies...
Why would they bother defending? They've been beaten already.

Even if they lack a belief their culture and society is superior, why should that be a reason not to defend it? Surely a culture and society is worthwhile just because it is yours not because it is superior to everybody.

Is that what is causing the housing crisis?  People are scared of houses?

Afraid/ashamed of the self, the indigenous, the own culture and civilisational achievements.
which you very well know.

I have never seen that term before today.  I just knew the Greek root Oikos, house.

The other point to make is Ma is new to caucus and so he has now seen first hand what PP is, and the conclusion he made from the observation speaks for itself.

I fear the European leaders are convincing themselves that all they need to do is survive 4 years to have a Democrat in the White House again, resetting time to like 2014. Ain't gonna happen.

Your fear is not consistent with anything I've been reading regarding how European leaders are reacting.

All is good then.

I wouldn't go that far. All would be much better if your fears were based on what you learn from actual new sources rather than wherever it was where you picked up the notion that European leaders are counting on the fact that miraculously the Americans will become honourable and reliable after the Trump presidency ends.

People that are interested in actually doing something need to leave the concern conservative party because all PP knows how to do is throw a tantrum and act like a child

Seems a reasonable enough take
