I dare you to do this with Israel.

I'll probably be flagged/banned for even suggesting it.

It’s also not legal in many US states.

One would have thought they could have just taken some land from the people who were actually involved in the holocaust.. not sure if Germans ever stop and think about this

Maybe America or the UK could have sold a bit of their land? Maybe Wales? I get the desert location seemed like a good deal at the time

Jews made Israel thousands of years ago. They're the natives.
Re: by majikaja on Wednesday March 20, 2024 @06:40PM (#39772884)
Will Americans let the natives have their own state back...?

How does Manifest Destiny, Christian Zionism and oil security fit into this?

Native Americans are also Americans. In addition to having reservations, they can also purchase land.

This is the second front of the war that most of could have at least some impact.
Re: by dvfjsdhgfv on Wednesday March 20, 2024 @10:01AM (#39766657)
It is a double-edged sword. The short impact, depending on an industry, is that the Russian government will have slightly less money. This is net good short term because this money finances the war among others (but also education, hospitals...). However, in the long term, this means increasing the divide between the two worlds and, economically, the Russian government trying to reproduce the missing markets locally and partly succeeding, at least for non-hi-tech sectors.

What would I call the most important front of this war? A call to ordinary Russians. Explaining to them how wrong is this war. That Putin has been lying to them for decades. There were no Ukrainian Nazis who were persecuting the Russian population in 2014. Russia wasn't forced to start the war. NATO doesn't "expand" as a self-conscious organism or by the will of the USA (heck, Trump would even happily back out of it!) - on the contrary, individual countries join it so that they don't share the fate of Ukraine. If all Russians understand what happened and Putin has no support, there will be less reason to continue this inhuman activity, also by his successors. But if Russian themselves are supporting the war, there is no hope of stopping it.

This is very oversimplified view on what happens and thus provides wrong solution.

I would recommend you to watch this interview https://youtu.be/6xIeLJGcpfU. Alexander Shtefanov is not Welcomed by bot Ukrainians and Russian “patriots” because he reveals truth unpleasant for both sides

Could you summarize it in 2-3 sentences? The video is 3 hours long...

EDIT: I couldn't resist and started watching, it's really interesting. The guy also reflect the change I saw in many young Russians. (Dying for Zhukov's statue was especially funny...)

...but my PrOfItS!

Companies only see the next quarter, Russia brings money to quarter, profitable quarter brings stock options and bonuses.

PR cost of doing business in Russia is smaller than effect of stock options bonuses on C-staff.

Companies stay in Russia.

This is really an interesting take. a. Company leaves Russia. b. It can't take it's money or assets abroad (this is forbidden). c. It starts negotiating sale of business and/or sale of assets with the Russian government. d. Usual terms are: d1. Sell at discount not less than 50% d2. Our of the sale price, pay at least 10% directly to the Russian state budget. e. Win (?)
