"are have not been established". Amazing work.

I mixed up British Burma/Myanmar with British South Africa. Point stands, he supported the colonial efforts of the British empire.
His father was a spice and opium trader; who I'm sure had great things to say about the Indo-Pacific peoples.

Right wingers always talk about repelling an invasion of occupiers, not losing their culture, and arming the citizens against tyrannical governments. They're describing Ukraine. Yet they're too scarred to follow through on their own ideals.

Saint Nicholas was Irish. Klaus and Krampus are German. Commercialism is American. It's probably best for Russia if they aren't given any gifts this cold frigid winter. Give the citizens a taste of the trenches.

The best revenge is success. Learn from the moment and move on. Dwelling on failures only leads to more failure. Dwell on the positives, the learning and experience you gained, and move on to the next challenge with new skills.

We are comparing the pictured place, Italy (and thereby the EU at large) to the state of affairs in the US.
Most of South America's issues relate directly back to US intervention(s) known as the Monroe Doctrine.

Sadly, no. Still Putin. Without Putin dictators like Trump, Kim Jong Un, Assad, Ayatollah Khamenei, Ilham Aliyev, Lukashenko, Mikheil Kavelashvili, and Georgescu, wouldn't have a base of power to draw from in order to reinforce each other.

Doesn't make sense in an Italian context, since they don't lack access to basic life saving care and medicines... But I do like to see class solidarity across the world. No one can be truly free unless we're all free.

Point Nemo is crazy. ~2000km from any piece of land, even a tiny island.

Pics for inspiration. This was June. I was still a tourist at this time. These beaches were full of Russian tourists pre-1989. Now they are proudly EU and NATO. These people have the courage to stand up to Russian aggression when Russia is next door, not across an ocean. Toate Puternice.

But Greece is expensive and uninviting since they don't use the latin script. Then he showed me pictures from his vacation to the Black Sea. It struck a nerve so, I've been in Constanta since June. Picking up the language was quite easy. It's just really old Spanish.

Originally I wanted to live in Valencia since I speak Spanish as well as English. But residency and jobs was difficult due to the 14% unemployment rate. So I went to Germany, it was too expensive. I asked a backpacker where he would go for a cheap vacation. He suggested Greece.

Did United pay for the full duration of the anesthesia?
Jokes aside, anesthesia is very scary. Glad it was well handled by the skilled vet tech.
