It's not the same thing. Indians stopped buying oil when tariffs rose to 50%.
I think you missed a number: one thousand tankers.
You can be sure that if there is a need, there will be consensus. They bought oil and gas for two or three years after the war began.
Which fly to Ukraine daily by the dozens.
Like I said the west pushed for this conflict for years, if you do not see this I can't help you.
It has nothing to do with SCOTUS though.
Tthe choking points - straits for example are being monitored. European countries - and Turkey - just did not engage much with that before.
Mainly Germany though.
Drones, not missiles. Russia does not that many ballistic missiles in comparison to Iran for example.
As if that makes it better?
You have a very narrow uninformed view of the conflict and are focusing on the symptom rather than the cause. Like I said previously, watch this video to gain some further insight. I am not condoning what either side has done during the conflict, and feel very sorry for the innocents dragged into all this.
Of course they did ... Just like the US invaded Iraq for legitimate reasons.. lol
Nope, because slavery was the default status throughout human history with or without 'justification' from Christianity, and then Christianity was monumental in ending it and in enforcing its end as far as possible.
Yes, because people that to not agree with him have no agenda whatsoever..Anyone quoting Jeffrey Sachs has already lost by default
Jeffrey Sachs | Vatnik Soup
In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll introduce an American economist and academic and political commentator, Jeffrey Sachs. He’s best-known for his deep hate for the “US hegemony”, and for his love for the totalitarian regimes in Russia, China and in Syria.vatniksoup.com
Israel never fuck about, this was always the green light they wanted.
Who else reads this as Bikini Fatso..
It's all propaganda just choose your own preference. There is a lot more to all this, but let's just agree to disagree, and get back on topic.
The tent was not the best idea lol..
Plato is said to life to 80 in 1500 BC.
That's the theory. In practice, there aren't even a dozen tankers that have been captured.
Drones (large ones) fly in hundreds.
I was talking about missiles in general but I was wrong about the numbers — not by dozens per day, but by about a ten per day on average. Ballistics are an order of magnitude smaller, of course. Nevertheless, in January, there was still a moment when Zelensky complained that some systems had run out of missiles. It is unknown how long the new supply will last and what the situation with Iran will be at that point.
I certainly don't view Christianity as something that was entirely good but compared to other religions it was relatively speaking. When the central figure of your religion is essentially a hippie that would rather be hurt than hurt others, you are going to have generally better outcomes than a religion where it's prophet was a warlord. It would be like if Genghis khan was a prophet. I don't see abolitionists as a primarily Christian thing but rather the teipidness of the religion certainly allowed for it. I am sure there are plenty of people in Islamic countries that are against child marriage but it's much harder to end something like that if the person you worship had a child bride.
It was already normal, unless you are suggesting slavery was not practiced before Christianity or outside of Christian cultures?
Characterising 'the perpetrators of slavery' group as being Christian is not a reasonable statement. The abolitionists were overwhelmingly Christian and largely motivated by their Christianity. The perpetrator group was essentially 'everyone that could throughout history'.
I see you've been to the Neville Chamberlain school of geopolitical strategy.
As a student of literature you should know that language is an interesting thing. The Bible went from Hebrew to Greek to Latin to English and both Greek and Latin are notoriously hard to translate, which is one of the reasons why a literal reading of the Bible is a slippery slope.
