I suppose because they were refugees they trusted the couple who had been helping them. But yeah it wasn't a complicated plot.

"The fact that we are breaking down in the face of humanitarian aid to Gaza is a serious mistake... Gaza must be completely destroyed: terrible chaos, severe humanitarian crisis, cries to heaven..."

The self titled people of god, everyone. Bet if god exists he must be proud its people are genocidal maniacs. From my understanding of Jewish mythology, seems like these are demons from hell. Who else would revel in the suffering of their fellow human beings.

Gotta say, 7 days from murder to jail and then a year to be sentenced is pretty fast. Good work from the cops and court.

“He [Trump] thinks about investments and money before thinking about a person’s right to a decent life, before he thinks about the tortured, orphaned, and wounded children of Gaza.”

Classic American way of thinking. They even do this to themselves, making a social system that puts money above happiness for everyone involved, for when people are unhappy, they consume things, services and medicines they don't need compulsively. We see this in rats in the famous rat park experiment. Happy rats are moderate consumers. Miserable rats are desperate consumers of anything.

Even billionaires live unhappy miserable lives, doing drugs and constantly competing over the new thing even at the cost of their own peace of mind over clout and mindless pursuit of a bigger number that largely lacks any meaning to them anymore. They hop on the grindset and they become the grindset, unable to be anything else anymore. The free market needs guard rails or it consumes the consumer base on which it depends to live. Gaza being sold for profit represents the loss of guard rails at a state level.

Probably not, but i can guarantee you i could find volunteers by the truck load. Hell I've met several of them.

I had from professor Gable's page which was linked on wikipedia, but his page seems down and i can only find it from non free sources, but perhaps you'll be more lucky than me. The name of the study is Gable, RS (2006) "Acute toxicity of drugs versus regulatory status" in Drugs and Society: U.S. Public Policy, Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield.

Just to add a note that this graph comes from a study made on rats. I love the study and i use this graph frequently when discussing drugs, but i think it's important to know.

Being done on rats also raises the point that it's done excluding a mental component of using the drug, like for instance how some people use cigarettes in depression for its antidepressant effect or use alcohol to cope with mental health issues.

It also doesn't explore the mental health effects of repeated exposure to large doses of hallucinogens on people, which we still don't have research on because of how demonized hallucinogens are in most countries doing research on drugs.

Or alternatively smaller states could be grouped by culture (Balcans, Baltics, Iberians, Anglos, Nordics) and those groups would have a council to represent them in Europe in equal footing with single large countries.

I would prefer if Germany stopped exporting weapons to Israel asap and that Germany makes good on what those ministers both said. I would also be happy if anti genocide peaceful protests were not acted against.

I would say he's right if he meant Germany would move past it's Nazi guilt, stop funding a goddamn present day genocide and arrest the perpetrators of the currently ongoing one, like the ICC has told them to do.

Can you imagine, Germany standing against genocide one of these days ? That would be a grand step forward.

The US congress must approve a declaration of war. Here is to hoping that there are enough sane senators left. Nobody wants this war, but if Europe doesn't stand up to bullies, we're doomed to be taken advantage of further. This is a challenge that will define a generation of European leadership.

I also find it delightfully ironic that the US now risks invading Denmark and it's up to the rest of EU to stand up against it when Denmark spied for the US on the rest of the EU between 2012 and 2014 and were caught red handed.

Just goes to show the old lesson of what the US does to its allies once they're no longer useful.

The reaction to these things is always too slow but this has irreversibly damaged the image of Israel, the US and Germany for the times to come in ways we're yet to fully understand. Unfortunately these events have also changed how people see the Jewish faith and it wouldn't surprise me if that triggered a major change in it. Nothing is without consequences.

US companies and helping genocide for money, name a more iconic duo. Forget IBM and the Nazis, prepare for Google and the Zionazis.

Crazy how this strategy didn't work the hundreds of times the US tried before and still doesn't work. It's almost like it makes everything worse, empowering rogue militias and overall just destabilizing regions.

Almost like the purpose isn't to stabilize regions but to create regions of perpetual warfare and instability. That would only benefit people in the business of warfare, like the main exporters of weapons in the world.

As they say in Canada, they're not having Nunavut these hosers, eh ?

Also violating their own anti genocide agreements by supporting Israeli proven genocide by several third parties at this point. I guess it's rules based approach when it's convenient and when it's not, we'll just ignore those rules.

The title doesn't accurately describe what was said. Greenland is still not for sale, Trump will still not be able to bid on Greenland, but they are open to let the US build bases, mines and trade ports or whatever it needs (while paying the Danes, of course) and leave them alone, which is probably what was going to happen anyway.

It remains duly noted to all Europeans that a US president elect threatened a European ally with a military invasion, and that is something that all Europeans should keep front and center whenever we think of the US.

I really doubt any sort of US action could lead to the EU fracturing.

If anything, having to deal with the US has brought us closer together. On one side there's Trump making a fool of himself and of the US. On the other side there's Musk, thinking he can take on European unions and actually win, because he thinks he's still in the US, and in the middle there's what i like to call the sheep pen of tech companies. We shear their wool for fines on privacy violations every couple of months to fund our regulatory organs.

In one fell swoop the US would be dismembering itself from its most important geopolitical allies and secondary trade partners. There is absolutely no win here for the US unless NATO balks at US intimidation and decides to let Greenland go without a military response, which would open the door for more US bullying for lunch money. NATO must resist with force. Greenland is not worth the consequences, no matter how many minerals or shipping routes control there are in it. I suspect Trump will try the intimidation to the last moment possible, but i have big doubts that he will actually invade or be allowed to invade and intimidation never worked well against Europeans.

Honestly in political terms saying you'll join at some undefined point in the future is not saying anything. That will be an entire new government who may or may not agree with it. Besides like another commenter said, everything about the EU is negotiable.

I was thinking maybe the problems with Canada would be more in matters of regulation voting, not so much wars or foreign policy. Canada has a different mindset, not exactly like Americans but in the same thought space, possibly due to their shared origins as an European colony with a vast continent to expand to and also because of US influence. Canadians just don't like restrictive regulations. One could argue that equally as important as avoidance of wars and directly correlated is the regulation of commerce, seeing as the EU officially started as a coal and steel regulatory trade international organ. I imagine such a large body of population would clash with certain regulations we have in the EU, but nothing that couldn't be worked out.

But organizations like the EU live and die on trade and that's why i ultimately i don't see why Canada should try for the EU, despite me thinking they would be welcome. It's why i think the commonwealth is kind of useless nowadays as an economic tool. Their primary body of trade is the Americas, with Asia and Europe being secondary markets. Too bad the US is too far up its own back to cooperate with anyone without ruining it with greed. In an equal partnership of open borders and free trade, US, Mexico and Canada would be huge.
