| I suppose one could say I'm a practical pro-life. I'm not in support of abortions, but I'm against banning them. Instead, I believe in providing funding for as many services that offer support and options for women who need them, and just being supportive in general, because there is generally nuanc... |

| NATO leaders endorsed a new security strategy for the next decade, labelling China as the biggest threat to global peace and security. That's in disagreement to what I read about the summit. The Russian Federation is the most significant and direct threat to Allies’ security and to peace and stabil... |

| Well, I hope the states that ban abortion increase funding for FASD and whatever the drug equivalent is, along with measures to deal with children who grow up in broken homes. If there is a spike in crime in the US in the next couple decades, Conservatives only have themselves to blame. There will u... |

| Well, Conservatives need to shut up about Liberals always getting overly offended by things when they themselves seem to get offended even more easily. At this point they not only have a glass houses situation, but their houses are built with the most fragile of glass. If I had a dollar for every ti... |

| It's a mystery to me why Western media even bothers reporting anything Putin said as we all know everything he says is a lie, and we're simply not interested. If he's going to complain about Western sanctions, he was clearly unprepared for how expensive his invasion would turn out to be. It does see... |

| Interesting. I was not aware of that. Still, as magz said, none of that justifies one country invading another in this day and age. I'm sure "nazi" wannabes exist in the US, should Russia invade that? As for that second piece, I'll have to see more sources corroborating that info (which I... |

| The one question in this article I find very troubling is: why does NATO still exist? Because he is right to ask this. Silly question. It exists because of the aggression of other nations. Eastern European counties as shite scared of Russian aggression. Haven't you been paying attention? Now, Swede... |

| Stop thinking of geopolitics as a battle of good people and evil dictators. Putin is a gangster, not the devil. He doesn't hold power over Russia through metaphysical forces, but through strategic alliances and force that might well also hold it together. I would prefer to cross any subsequent brid... |

But in the case of pygmy elephants and pygmy humans they live in thick rainforests where having a relatively small biomass helps in camou... |
