Reply to comment by Zombie_Harambe in Australia uncovers Russian espionage ring, expels spies: Report by WhoIsJolyonWest
Well it's more organized crime, but espionage is also literally not legal. Spies are arrested and jailed all the time.
Edit: my thought isn't a unique one anyway. Many theorists have drawn comparisons between nations and organized crime. Nations are essentially the crime syndicates that retain the most power and influence.
It makes even more sense when you look at organized crime syndicates and how they run. You'll see a lot of parallels to how nations run. Alliances, treaties, laws, wars, even espionage etc...
The biggest difference is scale but we see with the cartels down in Mexico that crime syndicates can increase their scale so much that they're essentially their own nation with their own laws and governing bodies.

Reply to Norway: Thunberg joins Indigenous protests against turbines. The young environmental activist says green energy cannot come at the expense of human rights. A court order has deemed the turbines' location in Norway illegal, as they disrupt Sami reindeer-herding traditions by DoremusJessup
How many people is “6 families”?
They raise reindeer for food and that’s lame reindeer aren’t returning to their ancestral herding area due to windmills but also 6 families Vs enough energy for 100,000 peoples homes.
Green energy is one of the things o feel like should be pushed ahead of most things and here it certainly feels like a cash buyout of some sort makes sense.

Russia isn't measuring victory by lives not lost. They're measuring it by ground taken and if it takes a million men to get their kilometer so be it.

French fighters die to help Mali in defending from AlQaida. You should really do not judge france from the french policy existing 100 y ago.

I once almost died from pneumonia that can easily be cured by antibiotics, because the doctor was hesitant to prescribe them. It is not as easy as it sounds to stop the overuse antibiotics, and we must weigh the drawbacks that come with it.

Tell that to Serbia. NATO is only "strictly defensive" when it suits.

I am a migrant, I was doing ok, but decided to move to another country for work.
If you HAVE to try to get to another country - even risking your life - where you apply for asylum you are a refugee. After the official investigation and evaluation you can either get the actual refugee status or not, but you will never ever get any other status. Either refugee or go home, they would never become (economic) migrants.
The term migrant was used instead refugees heavily by Hungarian (Russian) propaganda during 2015-2016 in order to reduce empathy. The Hungarian media was also instructed not to show women and children at all under any circumstances.
It is disgusting that russian and right wing trolls / politicians managed to bully most media into the incorrect usage of the word migrants.

Antidepressants require a prescription but depression isn't developing SSRI resistance. It's not a measure we've taken to fight antibiotic resistance
