Progressives wanted Bernie. Debbie Washerman Schulz wanted Hillary to be the first woman president and it to be Schulz's crowning career achievement placing her there, so she literally sabotaged Bernie's campaign from the inside as a total abuse of her position for her own hubris.
It wasn't some make believe dream that Bernie had the momentum and ability to win the Dem primary. If you went to both candidate's campaign events it was night and day the difference in the crowd.

Hopefully this will help the people of Hawara to regain their lost property and send a very clear message, these settlers are a violent minority that most people in Israel absolutely do not support!

But the people want to be part of the UK, they dont want to join the Republic (yet). Do you want things to start going boom again?

Reply to comment by vibeology1 in China accuses U.S. of ‘disinformation’ over warnings it’s considering sending artillery and ammo to Russia by diana321
Because US is using it as a “blackmail” of a sort to get China to back off interfering with the Ukranian situation, obviously china and russia are friends and china is looking for ways to provid additional and direct aid.

Not sure if govt would announce it but china just export through “civilian” and other national entities to hide the origin, just like with Iranian drones before they were publicly outted.

Ukraine is famous for its incredibly fertile, dark black soil, named chornozem (чорнозем - literally “black ground”), which is why Ukraine is one of the agricultural juggernauts of the world.
However, when the frozen ground thaws and the snow of winter melts in the spring, that fertile чорнозем turns into horrific mud that is the nightmare of any heavy vehicle driver. Trying to push an offensive in Spring, especially in Ukraine, is bound to result in hundreds of armored vehicles getting stuck in the mud.

She seems to have done really well for herself. Very short stint behind bars in one of our less awful prisons and sailed right into a sweet political gig when she got sent back. One of my favorite tidbits from her story:
>On at least two separate occasions she got drunk and spoke openly about her contacts within the Russian government, even acknowledging that Russian intelligence services were involved with the gun rights group she ran in Moscow. Twice, classmates reported her actions to law enforcement because they found her comments so alarming, sources said.

One of the things that makes the US posting attractive is that, if they get caught, they're likely looking at pretty human treatment. And, if they stay loyal, a decent situation when they return home.

It's interesting that CNBC is promoting the price controls and the regulation which are antithetical to what it espouse all day long.

Reply to Sunak in Belfast to sell new Brexit deal by reuters
That's not going to work. The British government is basically non-functional and Sunak is effectively a caretaker PM until the next general election where Labour will sweep them out. Unionists don't want any Brexit deal that has them in a special political unit and the EU won't accept any Brexit deal that includes free market access. From any outsider perspective, this has gotten so complicated where it is hopeless to find a solution that works for anyone.
Conservatives need to admit that Brexit has failed, or at the very least they've failed to facilitate the UK leaving the EU. Which is what this agreement doesn't do: it tries to sustain trade flows that Brexit doesn't allow. Labour is willing to eject NI to make Brexit real, and this is a winning platform as most of the electorate doesn't live in NI.

Big fan of Switzerland but what I've heard from other people is basically that everything in Switzerland is expensive already.

It's not a "breakaway" region.... it is Moldova. By framing it as a "breakaway" region, russia is trying to set up a defense for why they are going to attack there.

The reason is the same as for why the US, UK and Germany have a huge population of agents in Austria - because they never left after WWII and Austria doesn't have the resources to kick them out or the interest to fight with all those countries.
Austria-Hungary and Russia used to have the biggest secret services in Europe, after WWI the infrastructure in Vienna was almost immediately used by the west to spy on eastern Europe, during WWII by the Nazis and since Austria's occupation "legally" by everyone.
And Western services are very happy to spy on Russia from a rather save place, that's why the US has been putting in effort to warm up their relationship to Austria in the past years instead of piling on pressure. They are well aware of the situation in Vienna, their own agents help creating it after all.
