There is a reason there are no lions left in Europe, we killed them. We killed most wildlife and only recently we have tried to bring those somewhat large predators back(wolves, bears, etc).
I am pretty sure if there were polar bears in the Mediterranean, and the rest of the history remained the same, they would also be considered extinct or endangered.
All you need is a lot of humans and time and eventually all big animal threats will be eliminated.
Nukes is the least important part but even for nukes, numbers matter. It allows you to hit more targets with higher confidence that they wont be intercepted.
This is why China has gone into overdrive and pumping nukes like crazy, in order to reach relative equilibrium with the US and Russia.
Anyway, the amount of air refueling assets and flying radars Europe has are way fewer than needed because it was assumed that the US would be fighting alongside us. Same story with many other things.
Also because life is better in Europe, it is assumed there will be a lower political desire for casualties. Meanwhile for Russia, and especially rural Russia, going to war and even dying might be preferable for many people.
3 things
Without the US, Europe has significant capability holes(satellite, logistics, ground launched missiles, nukes)
Multiple smaller armies might be, in theory, an order of magnitude “stronger” than the Russian military but because of inefficiencies, overlap capabilities and lack of unified command structure and organizing, they are effectively a circus that cant do much.
Not all Europe will react the same and with the same urgency. A crisis(like russian soldiers occupying a small Baltic town) by definition will create huge cracks within Europe.
The main issue with american chocolates is that they taste like vomit because americans have associated that with chocolate. So american chocolate manufacturers add butyric acid in their chocolate so it can have that lovely characteristic taste. Butyric acid extends the shelf life of chocolate.
The rest of the world isnt a big fan of vomit for some reason.
John Bolton might be a hawk but he is pro NATO and anti-Trump(now). He might want to overthrow Maduro but he has no influence over the Trump administration nowadays.
In greek, bird is slang for penis(πουλί).
The Gulf War was about kicking Iraq out of Kuwait, after Iraq invaded. It had a wide support, both worldwide and within the Arab world. Saudi Arabia and Egypt actively participated.

EA DICE(creators of Battlefield) is based in Sweden. EA Gothenburg(aka Ghost Games), creators of the Need for Speed games are also based in Sweden. Funcom, creators of Dune Awakening are swedish.
Avalanche Studios, creators of Just Cause games, are based in Sweden. Mojang, creators of Minecraft are swedish too. Frictional Games, creators of Amnesia and Soma are swedish. Fatshark, creators of Warhammer 40k Darktide are swedish.
It is important to note that nowadays, games are developed by devs all over the world, especially AAA games. But there are a lot of game devs based in Sweden.
I’ve read on Reuters that China is probably under promising and they will do better than they claim. At least China understands that climate change is real and is trying to do something about it. Unlike some other country. The bar is on the floor, yet some countries are struggling.
It has very little in common with the books. Some names and key moments. The best part of the series is the Empire arc, which is mostly original.
It does go through eras but even that is somehow bastardized in the name of the tv series. It is silly and ridiculous.
The more we normalize assassinations, the worse the world becomes. America is slightly more fucked today, not because this guy died, but because extrajudicial assassinations are not cool. This only accelerates the collapse of american society and rule of law.
Some tankies/accelerationists want this, but they are mostly clueless kids.
Carney has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

The norwegians are shameless subhumans, unlike the englightened swedes, where Tesla has experienced a 90%+ drop in sales.
Literally one of the most popular games in the world, Honkai Star Rail, is a turned based rpg. But people ignore it because it is a gacha. Sure, the gameplay is somewhat shallow, but despite having 3 buttons, there is definitely some depth and skill expression.
The story is pretty decent, has some weaknesses, pacing can be weird sometimes but it also has some very highs. It is basically an anime that releases a new episode/season every 40 days. The music and the visuals are amazing, best in the world. And they are combined expertly with the gameplay. Here is the trailer for the current story arc, it introduces characters/world vibe.

This latest story is the best so far. The music? And the cutscenes/trailers? Insane. I wish i could link them but they are insanely spoilery. I think the most impressive part of HSR is its variety. They arent afraid of branching out in terms of visuals, music, etc. Here are 3 character trailers

Cambodia isnt great either. With B, you can always move to a decent part of Mexico.
The percentages are irrelevant, the relation between them is relevant. And Greece is the top, non muslim majority, country. Far above all other European countries.
Even if ADL is a joke, this should be an indication that things were never good in Greece, in regards to antisemitism. Especially since the data is from 2014-2015, probably near peak doomerism/evil jewish bankers/etc for greeks.

Το ADL είναι χαζός οργανισμός, τα νούμερα μπορεί να είναι λάθος, αλλά η σχέση ανάμεσα στα νούμερα νομίζω ότι είναι σχετικά σωστή. Υπόψιν, τα νούμερα είναι από το 2014-2015. Η Ελλάδα πάντα είχε θέμα με τον αντισημιτισμό και από τη άκρα δεξιά και από την άκρα αριστερά.
There are places that are snowy most of the time and everything works just fine. It really isnt that bad if you are prepared and have appropriate infrastructure.
