I think we can confidently called the Russian invasion of Ukraine "failed" . Even if the Russians took some of the Eastern regions they failed to topple the Ukrainian government or take the capital and many of the major cities they were after, what do you think the aftermath of this will be for Russia? Will Putin's government even survive? Will they have to completely sell out to China if they want to keep their ruined economy functioning ?

2022-04-29 01:46:13 +0000 UTCIt would be same, except unlike Imran Khan, he won't be on a continuous rant about Islamophobia on global platform.. IMF will force to take harsh measures,so people will be upset & govt will be unstable..PM might end up resigning & his brother or Bhutto might take charge.. even if that happens nothing will change. There's not much room to do anything

2022-04-29 00:16:14 +0000 UTC1)What is your take on getting your body frozen the moment you die? Do you think the people currently frozen will ever wake up ? Is it a viable way to "live forever" ? 2) Suppose you could wake up the people who had been frozen from over 50 years ago and keep them alive , how do you think they would react to all the changes in the last 50 years?

2022-04-29 00:10:47 +0000 UTCDid you know that in just the last week , more than 200 people have been killed by an organization called Janjaweed in Sudan?

2022-04-28 23:59:41 +0000 UTCGita actually Critiques Buddhism, protagonist Arjun who knew who his opponent were going to be & yet was determined to fight war against them, but suddenly after witnessing Grand army of enemies he develops dispassion towards his bow.. his hands started to trimble, his mind start making excuses & he copes by acting like a monk on battlefield right before war & explores ideas like ills of war,virtues of non violence,peace & pacifism & complaints how this arrangement of dharma that aaks him to kill his own blood is unfair.. krsna reminds him of his dharma & guides him against inner demon --fear, which according to most is core theme of Gita

2022-04-28 21:51:48 +0000 UTCps. this a positive for the PRC propaganda, as it lends to the view of westerners are too lax on religious extremism. The PRC positions themselves as the antidote to religious extremism with their ccp approved religions. That Americans would rather their citizens reincarnate than to "educate" them in the "proper ways".

2022-04-28 16:13:31 +0000 UTCSo in Daoism we have a similar practice. In order for the river to be clear one must not do anything and wait for the sediment to still of its own accord. I notice in the height of my Grindr days I would swipe profile after profile looking for attention. A daoist critique of Gita is that in the chase to free your self from all desires you have become extreme renunciants. Buddhism critiques the Hindu Sunyasi's in their extreme renunciance and advocate for the middle path. My critique is always somewhere in the middle of desire and serenity.

2022-04-28 15:33:31 +0000 UTCShould a nation confer its citizenship based on blood (France/China), birth on Soil (USA), tax contribution, investments (Turkey), years of residency, or a battery of civics tests?

2022-04-28 15:23:28 +0000 UTCIn the Gita, the practice of Yoga is explained as detachment from the senses, but uses words such as desire, cravings, pleasure, attachment and grief which are more like feelings. Once you've successfully discarded all that, you reach peace, bliss, joy, and serenity....which are also feelings. How does one stop feeling things in order to feel things? It seems as if they've failed the first part. What is your understanding?

2022-04-28 14:07:44 +0000 UTCWhat are your thoughts on Libertarianism? When I say Libertarian, I refer to the version closer to European Classical Liberalism: socially liberal, fiscally conservative minarchism. NOT the racist Paleolibertarians, crazy AnCaps, or...whatever the sensationalist Vermin Supreme fan crowd is.

2022-04-28 05:41:07 +0000 UTCBougainville may soon be the newest nation in the world to be recognized by the UN in 2027 after winning their long-fought war of independence against PNG and having a referendum in 2019. Given the island's poverty and animosity toward Australian-aligned Papua New Guinea, do you believe they will agree to host a Chinese military base like the Solomon Islands? Or that PNG might even consider it to scare Bougainville?

2022-04-28 05:22:38 +0000 UTCA referendum was announced last month by Russian-occupied South Ossetia to consider annexation into the Russian Federation. This week, grenade attacks occurred in Russian-allied Moldovan Transnistria. If Russia moves to invade another nation in the near future, which strategic region do you think they will target next: Moldova, Sakartvelo (Republic of Georgia), or a desperate move against Finland/Sweden before they join NATO? And why?
