fair enough, but still https://e-estonia.com/where-is-our-digital-state-heading/ so long as russia doesnt try any drastic new tricks like space-nuke EMPs, they will be doing alright if they know what they are doing.

Estonia can do it, even under constant russian harassment. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/e-estonia-the-worlds-most-advanced-digital-society

Jumping spiders are the tigers of the mm scale. They jump and pounce, they stare at you and stalk their prey, they carefully plan their attack from a strategic vantage point, they are cute, furry and pettable…so long as you are at least twice as large.

What does this influence look like? Is it like the interference in elections elsewhere? Do they fund politicians like in the Philippines or Hungary or is it more like social media campaigns? What else should we be aware of?

Should motivate places like Europe, Japan, China and India who don’t produce oil, hopefully only nuclear and sodium batteries/pumped hydro for baseload power. For oil producers, it is harder to wean them off.

Good, probably fake news then, the rest of the world, including China, was glad to see it, so hopefully it is also shown and seen positively by NK. But nobody knows what happens in NK through official channels, “fake news” from anonymous sources is all we have.

According to Daily NK, a media outlet specializing in North Korean affairs, the North’s delegation returned to Pyongyang on Aug. 15 and is going through what has been described as an ideological evaluation.

This is a standard procedure for North Koreans who have been exposed to non-communist cultures while abroad. The media outlet said that North Korea views staying in a non-communist country as a form of “exposure to contamination.”

It would be nice to at least have a plan to one day be immune to oil price chaos and geopolitical fights surrounding distant oil wells. And day now…

haha, it played yesterday, maybe it was taken down :D But it’s still on youtube at least

Precisely for the togetherness that you see in that picture…and NK had to see it as a threat, of course.

Don’t be afraid, SleepyDon, keep posting, the more the better. She won’t sue.

Yea, that was tried before and is the origin of Liberia. Not recommended. But now you can’t simply undo it.

Who is Israel a colony of? And what would the decolonization you want look like?

Can anybody explain what the deal is with Mélanchon and why everyone sort of hates him in the coalition and even some inside his party?

Your argument would make tons of sense theoretically if there wasn’t a long history of real discrimination and pogroms in Europe and also Muslim societies (e.g. jizya) against jews that justify wanting a haven state where the laws and the people will never turn against them.
