I could never get into superhero movies, even as a kid. They are action packed but I just feel they cover the same old format and theme just in different costumes, have some kind of weakness and the same old villians and basically are never really ever going to die, so any death defying scene is always a foregone conclusion. My guess is where more can you go with this genre. It won't die off but they do seem to bring out a Spiderman and Batman movie every year and I could never tell them apart or what sequence they are in or it they have any significant plot twist.

That's all he has now. Gone straight to using nuclear threats. He's running out of troops and weapons so it's in desperation that he threatens weapons of last resort. After 12 months the Russian Army has not been able to over run a smaller country and has been humiliated that if failed its invasion and had to retreat. Over 100,000 dead troops and thousands of pieces of hardware are gone. It will be upto the Russian Generals what's left of them, if they are willing to allow Putin to sacrifice Russia for some personal vendetta against the "immoral" West.

Allow Ukraine to join NATO (or come up with another security pact) with a caveat that if attacked, nations can choose to support or not and if that then supporting NATO country is attacked by Russia there is no automatic need for NATO to jump in as the "one attacked is an attack on all members" maybe why some are reluctant to let Ukraine in.

He will try every little excuse he can to somehow make it work out for him. These current dictator wannabes in democracies,in the last 5 years, have tried all the lies and ways to stay in power. Trump, Erdogan and Bosinairo have weaselled their way through government to stay in power but in the end democracy has prevailed. Fingers crossed.

People burn these books or scrolls etc for a reaction and the Muslim community give a reaction they are looking for (outrage, anger and violence in many cases). Just don't react. Ignor it. The novelty will ware off. The impact will lose its clout and effect and die off, that's how you gain the upper hand and win. Islam is bigger than a physical burning of a book, the words are not diminished in anyway if a human printed version is burned. Produce another. Being insulted can be contained to a statement rather than violence or anger.

NATO bombed Belgrade not the US, because portions of the Serb army under the Milošević regime was carrying out well documented massacres and ethnic cleansing. That's why they stepped in. Yugoslavian aggression was halted and a UN peace keeping mission was put in place. Regardless of all this, carrying on as if all would be peaceful if not for the US is ridiculous. This conflict has been going on long before the US was even a thing.

Fucking Balkans again. Fucking Serbs, just like their Russian comrades stirring up shit again and always looking for an excuse to get back Kosovo, even when they are only 6% of this region. If the Serbs didn't fuck over the ethnic Albanians before Kosovo independence and ensure fair and equal treatment and justice as with Serbs then they may have kept Kosovo. This centuries long hate for each other will never be resolved. The hate is too entrenched and the nationalist extremists on both sides will always cause problems.
