They’re at war. It’s a war effort. Mincing words doesn’t change that. America didn’t wage a defense against Japan after Pearl Harbor, it waged war. War is both offensive and defensive, the original language is fine.
It matters who started the war. The US is waging the war against Iran, the Iran is defending. If you don't make this distinction, a killer and a policemen who shot him are both murderers.
Relayed by Nick Metropolis: Fermi and von Neumann overlapped. They collaborated on problems of Taylor instabilities and they wrote a report. When Fermi went back to Chicago after that work he called in his very close collaborator, namely Herbert Anderson, a young Ph.D. student at Columbia, a collaboration that began from Fermi's very first days at Columbia and lasted up until the very last moment. Herb was an experimental physicist. (If you want to know about Fermi in great detail, you would do well to interview Herbert Anderson.) But, at any rate, when Fermi got back he called in Herb Anderson to his office and he said, "You know, Herb, how much faster I am in thinking than you are. That is how much faster von Neumann is compared to me." [0]
>When literal Nazis are perceived as the better option you can imagine the alternative isn't very shiny.
Nice story. One problem though: they eagerly joined Nazis in exterminating Jews.
The ideology of nationalists aligned quite well, be it German Nazis, Baltic states, Hungarians or Western Ukrainians.
“When you walk by the side of these people you realise they have every human right to feel hatred towards any Russian,’’ she told the AP. “Still, I think it’s important to do even a small action to show them that maybe not all the people are thinking the same way.”
She has been living in Italy for 14 years, doesn't pay taxes to Putin, supports Ukraine, what's not to like?
I mean if you are Ukrainian, there is nothing to hate her for, right?
Wrong.
Here comes Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman feeling offended by her ethnicity:
"The fact that the International Olympic Committee chose a Russian to carry the plaque with the name [of Ukraine] is shameful. It goes beyond any human morality and any principles..."[0]
I hope she learned her lesson about the nature of Ukrainian nationalists.
No, the Ukraine didn't cede anything. They cut water and electricity to Crimea to punish Crimeans and they were building up the army with Western help.
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this site is now dumber for having read it.
