Quote:

Kosovo's independence raises the question of the viability of its economy, which is still highly dependent on foreign aid, as the Franco-Austrian Centre for Rapprochement in Europe noted as long ago as 2006[89]. Despite the presence of 5,000 NATO troops, 1,000 police officers, judges and prosecutors from the European Union, Kosovo remains a hotbed and center for organized criminal activity, according to a 2009 report by the European Commission.

Originsl quote:

L'indépendance du Kosovo pose la question de la viabilité de son économie, encore très dépendante de l'aide extérieure, comme le constatait dès 2006 le Centre franco-autrichien pour le rapprochement en Europe[89]. En dépit de la présence de 5 000 soldats de l'OTAN, de 1 000 policiers, de juges et de procureurs de l'Union européenne, le Kosovo reste un foyer et un centre pour les activités du crime organisé, d'après un rapport de la Commission européenne de 2009

Everybody is hating on her, which I find excessive, thousands upon thousands of of tiktok girls are filming themselves dancing or moving "in a variety of ways" to put it mildly.

But no one says she is in shape ! Damn she's 41 but that tummy is on edge!

Connais-tu le mot barbotine ?

En céramique c'est de l'argile séchée délayée dans de l'eau, cette "soupe" sert à coller deux pièces d'argile.

On m'a proposé des NFT d'oignons de tulipes, ça a l'air intéressant.

J'ai un NFT d'une entrée au Metropolis à te vendre

They would be bankrupt. They rely on mainland France subsidies to go by.

Where did John go? He took a sip and is nowhere to be seen?

Follow the tan line.

Russia for example is way too big for this to be the best map.

I would prefer a map with dots where roman coins where found.

You need to trust that the money you are getting will be usable again.

I have a cow. Someone offer me x dollars, someone else xx rubbles. I dont trust that people will believe rubble is a valuable thing to possess, so I prefer dollars.

It's not intrinsic value, its value because it is a trusted "wealth equivalent".

What I'm saying its not the metal they are interested in, it's the widespread value recognition.

Wrestling in the mud you say?

1- Airspace and airport are closed

NO AIRLINE IS ALLOWED TO FLY

2- Airspace and airport are reopened

EVERY AIRLINE EXCEPT AIR FRANCE IS ALLOWED TO FLY

Do you finally get the difference?

Outside of a coup period where the airport was closed and the airspace closed they were flying over Niger.

They were going to Niamey prior. How could they serve Niamey without flying over Niger ?

Quote : A cause du coup d’Etat en cours au Niger et de la fermeture de l’espace aérien et de l’aéroport de Niamey-Diori Hamani, Air France ne desservira plus l’aéroport Niamey-Diori Hamani jusqu’à nouvel ordre“

Ne desservira plus = will no longer serve

You may accidentally avoir parlé français.

Ok. France will launch a war against Azerbaijan.

Let's discuss this back in a month, see how this war is going.

The current day point of view of Nazi Germany against the rest of the world is quite a simplification.

Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Turkey and some others remained neutral.

Italy was on the Germany side then the allied side.

Russia was on the Germany side then the allied side.

France was split in two with Vichy France collaborating with Germany and free France part of the allies.

History is complicated.

Edit: a precise article on "neutrality": https://www.history.com/news/neutral-countries-world-war-ii

Why exactly would China or Russia launch a war against the US that has built an army many times more powerful than theirs? They would certainly lose, period.

Ok, to end this conversation that doesn't seem to be fruitful.

My point is: since Vietnam most wars have been asymetrical. Then I dont get your opinion of putting symetrical war as the main point of the US army goals.

But whatever, we have different opinions, so be it. It's late where i am. Good night.
