Drink cycling is fun, red wine and white wine is a good cycle option, stay away from gin and vodka though. Ohh not that drink cycling...

If you don't go, don't invest over there. You won't have to submit them anything. So like North Korea, Iran or China: stay away.

This is all correct. It's insulting to the intelligence of foreign governments though.

Militaries don't "have to" follow orders. They accept full responsibility for these orders. They can refuse orders and will have to accept responsibility for not following them.

Evaluation of the legality of the order happens in court, both entail respect of the constitution AND international treaties the country has signed, both use judges, lawyers and prosecutors. Are formalised to the extreme.

Following orders of such an unpopular government is the biggest long term threat on any soldier. Most understand this, I hope.

I believe it's the same thing in France. People despise and mock the US administration yet love the local versions of Trump. Their minds are taken on by a oligarch media frenzy mixed with massive russian/Chinese social network attacks against western values replacing them with hate towards our own people but different from the historic skin color/religion and a focus on exaggerating the perception of corruption among those we have freely elected.

They lack clarity to the point I hope solar flares soon knock out the internet for a few weeks before elections. The short and long term damage from said solar flares would probably be way lower than what we might otherwise see happen! I can't believe I'm saying this seriously, yet I see it.

It's nuclear status is irrelevant to the argument... The economic argument is much stronger.

And there is no worse than Russia getting territory from an European perspective. It just gives Russia free reign to start again but with EU members this time. So doing this means war, probably nuclear within a few years (France put into it's rules of engagement that countries on which France depends economically getting attacked conventionally are de-facto under the french nuclear umbrella as it would be protecting "the interests of the Nation").

So accepting this diktat means nuclear war. What is the worse outcome than nuclear war they are talking about?

I wonder if the sailing south of porto Rico is more than dangerous than the sailing along the Yemeni coast...

The way they define choking would also ban a lot of sucking scenes.

None of that matters, what matters is engaging up to the level of trust. To german eyes, as most European eyes, both are now interchangeable ethically. So commerce has to be done on the basis of numbers, not ethics.

The crown was later found on the pavement, there are a few earrings and pendants still to be found. For the values of the gems: gems from that time often have quite a crude cut by today's standards,and they are not individually of a high value. As with tea sets, it's the full original set that has priceless value. The more you break it into bits, then individual gens, the more the value goes down.

Clearly not a pink panther level job, though kudos for the ballsy heist.

It's the kind of quotes that gets more recent with each passing day.
