@DarylHoffm20254 @wartranslated It seems that you are confusing the Karelian Isthmus with the general Karelia region.

@DarylHoffm20254 @wartranslated A national security issue for the USSR? What exactly was it?

@DarylHoffm20254 @teemu_luoma @wartranslated Stalin didn't take Finland in 1945 for the same reason he did not annex Eastern Europe to the USSR - he was concerned about contagion of the core by "bourgeois ideas", so preferred to keep it as a geographical and ideological buffer zone.

@WyoCaliBuilder @RebekkahLinn @HardPass4 Ukraine is not the most corrupt country. And they are reducing their corruption while the US seem to be going in reverse.

@AbujomaaGaza But Hamas fighters at hostage transfer ceremonies look very well fed. How come?

@g_morkert @swilkinsonbc Try it, honey.

@robrabbo @intel_jakal @swilkinsonbc How to say "I know nothing about military affairs" without saying it.

@swilkinsonbc Nice! Goodbye, Fordaw!

@VladTheInflator Do you realize that many native - born Americans don't have a proof of citizenship? Also what about LPRs, foreign students and tourists, foreign workers and businessmen? How would a storeclerk or a small landlord know who is OK and who is not?

@kevintwining @DrNeilStone With rabies, you could actually get vaccinated for some time after a bite and it will still work.

@Partisangirl Then goodbye Gaza and West Bank. Maybe Sinai too.

@Sunsprite2 @Partisangirl You mean from Hamas?

@An0nimuzz @DovLipman @Partisangirl Do you really think the result would be any different?

@Mont_Jiang The Soviet Union did not have too much focus on material production. It had too much focus on the production of fake statistics of material production.

@The_Deornwulf @JStein_WaPo MAGA hypocrisy has no bounds. Day after day year after year accusations of Obama and Biden being "dictators" for attempting some minor actions w/o Congressional authoritization, God forbid. But now the tune had changed 180 degrees...

@The_Deornwulf @JStein_WaPo Get some education in constitutional law. The judges are making sure that the President and his team follow the laws as written by the Congress . The legal authority of the POTUS does not extend to breaking laws as he pleases.

@epochshift1 @Ursula12342 @JStein_WaPo The federal government is not a private company. Congress passed laws specifying how federal government workers and officians could be relieved of their jobs. If the Administration doesn't like it, they should go to the Congress and ask to change these laws.

@epochshift1 @JStein_WaPo No they don't. They work for the people of the USA. The President is not a king and is supposed to operate within the boundaries of the laws that were passed by people's representatives in the Congress. That is the Constitution.

@ArmandDoma Hitler actually DID trash German science by forcing Jewish and some non-Jewish scientists to flee, and German science never fully recovered from it.

@GermanGuy001 @Blackbeard1969 @elchicanomarine Possibly. I haven't seen his.
