Russia and Israel are friends. Its more likely….no its 100% likely that the missile came from Iran.

Iran don't have that level of capability.

This wasn't a Russian hypersonic missile. It will be a knock off version. Christ the thing only blew in some windows FFS

That sounds like the kind of dangerous political nonsense that leads to those we elect going against our wishes.

We elect people to make decisions. Once elected we trust them to make those decisions for us. Otherwise we would have to have referenda on everything.

Public opinion on individual matters is regularly wrong. As shown by many f the posts on here.

Nothing to do with generations.

The turning point is when they accept the emancipation and equality of women, gay rights and the supremacy of the country's laws over that of their sky fairy.

That rules out a large chunk of christians and jews as well then.

We have a tradition of party manifestos for a reason. The public vote for the party that will (roughly) do what they want them to do.

gonads.

Jews yes. But Christians had their diet of Worms 500 years ago. Accusing a large chunk of Christians in Europe of not accepting gay marriage and female rights is either ill informed or wantonly stoking up anti Western culture.

The guy that did the German massacre had apparently tweeted Judaism was the one true chosen religion. Personally i think he was a shia acting against Sunnis. You do not do what he did because he was right wing. Its a ridiculous viewpoint.

Edit. Islam is a cancer.

Despite claims made by the German press, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is not an ex-Muslim atheist, nor is he a fan of the AfD or Elon Musk. While he may have spread this misinformation himself, it aligns with the practice of Taqqiye, an Islamic doctrine that

I'm generally calm and reserved on these things these days (less so years back). But the developments internationally are a worry to me now.

I understand why. We are entering uncharted waters with a combination of extremists and exceptionally inexperienced billionaires running various shows. I manage to backburner it simply because I have no control whatsoever, but on those occasions where I sit, ponder and take a beat to digest the possibilities, let's just say nothing would surprise me.
