And now Trump has invited the Chinese to investigate the Bidens :facepalm:. Damn, I’m starting to think I should investigate the Bidens too :p

So there might be some tiny problems with Thailand’s court system. Not surprised to see more hate against a Muslim-minority in SouthEast Asia. There’s better ways to protest, but this seems to have the desired consequence:

Need some Polish users to help find any information of this "cooperation agreement" between Majalengka region in West Java with Magdalenka in Poland (there are a few in Google Maps) :d

 

This image has been circulating for the last 2 days but no news from the Majalengka local government

This woman is amazing :wub:. So in her lifetime...She was born into an independent Serbia just before WW1. She then lived through the WW1 fighting within Serbia. She was then alive during the horrors of WW2. She then lived through the creation of Yugoslavia. She then lived through the disillusion of Yugoslavia. Then probably through the Kosovar War, and now is voting in the 4th Parliament elections in Kosovo. 

 

What a person of history!

Thank You Trump for starting what will be my one of the world’s biggest humanitarian issues this century. I’m positive Erdogan will not attack the Kurdish majority in Idlib that he blames for the coup :facepalm:. Hope the YPG gives Turkish forces one hell of a fight. Also, Trump, their are fucking Americans in the YPG! Both you and Obama turned a blind eye towards Americans fighting in the YPG against ISIS and later Assad. Their blood is on your hands. The Kurds deserve their own country and the American government had the power to make that a reality, but instead we’ve let lose the dam on a massive escalation of the Syrian Civil War. Assad has vowed to fight the YPG, Syrian Democratic Forces, and Turkey should Turkey enter Syrian territory. Turkey has vowed to fight the YPG. The YPG has vowed to fight Russia, Turkey, and Syria. The Syrian Democratic forces have vowed to fight Assad and Russia. This will not end well! Europeans be ready, refugees en mass may arriving at your borders. I study conflicts, and I know shit moves when I see them. I’m really hoping that this works out, but I’m not positive it will. Americans need to vote this disgrace out (and if the Turkish opposition could get enough supports to oust Erdogan that’d be fantastic).

YPG and SDF releasing rare English language statements on Twitter essentially thanking the US for fucking Syria over for the next decade. To me, the tone of the statements also insinuates that the SDF and the YPG are more than willing to confront Turkey. Also, they point out the ISIS and Nusra cells could again become active in the area.

@hckosice Chaos in :ECU after President Lenin M. officially signed off on controversial austerity measures. Today was the 6th day of protest. The situation in Quito is so dangerous that the government has moved to Guayaquil.

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
