"Ukraine calls on allies to keep pressure on Russia after talks yield no ceasefire"

Ukraine?

No.

Ukraine citizens are becoming totally tired of this game. And if I would guess so should most of Russia.

I'm gaining this distinct feeling, that Mr Trump thinks Israel to have taken a step, or more, too far.

I couldn't agree more Mr Trump

"Texas is in the grip of an extraordinary heatwave this week, with record-breaking temperatures sweeping across the central and southern regions of the state.

While 100F days are common in Texas summers, such early-season heat is unusual. The record-high heat means that Texas has been recently hotter than Death Valley, California, which is often cited as the hottest place on Earth."

Nah, it's not. Not any longer.

So how do you make any form of democracy legal?

By making sure it's direct in real time, accepting the majority decisions, no matter if you agree or not.

yor_on · « **Reply #66977 on:** 17/05/2025 08:32:30 »

We have an elite thinking. In where we leave decisions to the 'selected few'

How does it look? Today?

Happy?

That's the founding stone of democracy. That you accept its decisions. But we don't have any real democracies anywhere.

yor_on · « **Reply #66979 on:** 17/05/2025 08:37:40 »

If you don't understand the difference between a real democracy and a representative I won't make you.
