  1. Washington Post thinks the Magas are going to rule the United States for the next 125 years. Something like what Slavia Prague does in the Czech liga. The maga wave -under Trump now- is not a simple victory of the reps over the dems as there were many such rep victories in the past and the earth keeps rotating. It's a victory over the dems and over the traditional reps. It's a big one. I have discovered the reason. The reason is sex. Gone are the days when men were seeing an English woman, American woman, Italian, Swedish, African, Malaysian ... and they were impressed. Our hormones have been depleted for one thing and also the internet-cellular revolution has made us act indifferently. Gone are the days when the classics teacher at school says to the boys "May is here, you little rascals are getting ready for the nightingales of the north are n't you ?". Mine did that and she was an ultra-conservative as they come. What this means ? Of course one wanted to have a "nightingale from the north" for you know what action. But along with that inevitably comes some friendship, some companionship - you may even go as far as scramble eggs together, With this gone and forgotten by the people at large, maga thoughts prevail. Add a little gay inclination and the recipe is complete.
  2. What's next for Putin ? Will he try to create a new Warsaw pact ? Certainly Ukraine is his as from 6/11, Hungary and Serbia also. In Moldavia his political friends are fighting it out. He is going to turn his attention to the middle east and try to get Israel through his proxies, Iran. Trump is likely to oppose him there, but there will inevitably be more power unleashed against Israel. What about Europe though ? How is the new Warsaw pact to be created ? Greece might be good idea. If he spends some roubles to create some useful political party to defeat useless Mitsotakis. In 2015 he dumped his Syriza friends and now Syriza is all but discredited (down to 6% !).
  3. If you were not living in a shoebox you would know this tactic was never used by Greeks, the other allies. It was used by the Germans in occupied France. By Saddam in the first gulf war in 1991, but eventually he agreed to release his prisoners. And finally by Hamash in Gaza.
  4. No. Smyrna was undefended. When it was taken by the Turks and no more fighting they killed the Christian population and set fire to the city. Very much after the style of their "Palestinian" cousins. You don't have an encyclopaedia Britannica in your house ? What kind of house is it ? A shoebox ?
  5. Not so. It's a song against Turkish genocides. Those were true genocides. The present day Turks like to say "massacres" because they thing genocide is too heavy. But those were committed against civilians in towns, not during fighting. In Smyrna it was Karatheodory, the famous scientist, who escaped the last minute by pretending he was German. The Israeli "genocide" talked about by the friends of Hamash is not genocide, or even the less terrible (?) massacres. It's bilateral losses for which Hamas is responsible. It is Hamas who decided to fight inside an inhabited area, use civilians as human shields.
  6. that is ημισούμπρια style I like the Serbian better.
  7. This Serbian song should become no 1 hit in Israel:
  8. It was but not quite, Also in Iraq after the Saddam war they hold elections. But basically the concept is alien, For the mulim religion there cannot be more than one righteous people. It's the righteous and the evil and vica versa - so the opponent must die.
  9. That does n't make him dictator. Later (not much later) he became.
  10. I go as far as 19th-20th century. Netanyahu is elected by the Israelis and Likud has won and ost - Israel was always a democracy. In the Arab world there are no democracies and the concept is alien.
  11. It did n't take days in 2020. Wednesday noon European time it was finalised.
  12. Violent incident in Athens after the Panathinaikos match ! Chelsea supporters led by crazy influencer Astrid Wett attack police. It appears those Chelsea supporters wanted to get out of the stadium fast to fight with rival Panathinaikos fans (*). The police try to tell them to wait until it is safe for them to go, they don't listen and try to break the police cordon. Crazy suppoerter Astrid leads the charge. (*) the birdie loonies
  13. The countries of the world that have never experienced dictatorships are: From the British empire: UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand From continental Europe: Sweden, Finland and Switzerland Others: Israel and the USA Will USA break the duck ?
  14. J6 was organized by Trump and Giuliani. What Trump did after J6 was to try to disengage himself from the riots that took place - rather unsuccesfully. He had however proclaimed that J6 was going to stop Biden from becoming president, he did not say J6 was to be a protest march. If you say that and then it develops into a bloody riot it means you started a rebellion - I don't know how he was allowed to get away with it.
  15. Naah. This match is not open to critique. It was like the old time midweek friendlies, Chelsea v. Metropolitan police team. Panathinaikos are nowhere near their standard of 20-30 years ago - no money.
  16. All the demagogues promise something false, never happens. The people believe. Lenin promised the streets will be lined with gold, everybody happy. Hitler promised to expand Germany to Los Angeles - San Francisco - moon. Mussolini - imperio mediterraneo. Tsipras promised the international markets will dance to his drum. Farage-Boris "they need us more than we need them". People like it easy so they believed: you don't need a Rolls to impress the beach goddesses at Saint Tropez - you can go with a mini bike Who does n't like to hear that ? Easy money. It lasts for a while.
  17. What happened to foreign opposition fans who used to join the forum every time ? Last one I remember was a PSG fan in Mourinho days who stayed for a couple of weeks, trying to convince us about the superiority of PSG. Now they are gone. I was expecting some Panathinaikos fans for today's.
  18. It's like going back to junior school at the age of 40.
  19. Boring affair. National team of Greece better than any of those clowns. But Greek national team players play in Germany, Portugal, England.
  20. Eintracht 0-0 at half time against Rigas !! PAOK 2-0 down to Plzen - worse than Panathinaikos.
