Re: Run-up to WW3
They are, to date, the only country to voluntarily give up their nuclear weapons (albeit impotent ones). Actually not true, South Africa did too between 1990/1991. Like Israel (who actually covertly helped them obtain the weapons) they were never a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as so...

Re: Run-up to WW3
I too think this has to end soon; I interpreted Putin's announcement of putting his nuclear forces on high alert as a hysterical response to growing sanctions. I don't think he wants to live with this situation for very long. I really hope that Ukraine will agree to neutrality and that the peace ta...

Re: Run-up to WW3
Surely Russian can't conquer and then occupy the entire Ukraine. They couldn't even handle Afghanistan. Also, I assume the EU would kick up a fuss over that, even if Ukraine is not a NATO member. Without wishing to be held a hostage of fortune... I feel the most likely scenario is he takes all of U...

Re: The food and drink thread
My wife is ill with the omicron variant so I'm cooking. I made a roast chicken with roast potatoes, roast sweet potatoes and carrot yesterday.

Re: What are you reading?
I guess that won't help the fact his writings are full of references and easter eggs that only his nerdiest readers will enjoy and understand Probably this is why I like him. Generally I like authors who make me look up a web of references for further reading. How do you mean? I mean I studied in 2...

Re: What are you reading?
Have you ever read Name of the Rose, Foucault's Pendulum or Baudolino? He was erudite to inhuman levels.
I'd wish I'd read "How to Write a Thesis" earlier. Although it probably woukd make no difference: the arts were a different world then.
