I don't understand what Russia's supposed "cornered cat" attitude has to do with having sent troops to Kazakhstan to repress the opposition, at the request of the dictator of that country...

"That kind of dirty war" that you mention reminds me of the resistance of the Polish army in 1939, when they retreated to the east trying to resist and wait for help from the West... until the Soviet Union stabbed them in the back... .

I always thought that Russia is the eastern end of the Western world. The problem is that with Putin, the concept of the Soviet Union has returned. Putin faces 21st century problems with a 20th century mentality. And the Russian government is not a poor victim... it has enough nuclear weapons to...

The rivalry of the future will be between the Western world and China. And Russia acts as if we were in the 20th century, with Cuba full of Soviet missiles aimed at the United States. What is Putin trying to do with the current war? Russia cares about Ukraine, when in East Asia on the borders...

It seems to me that the only possible negotiations would be: A) A Ukraine with territorial integrity, which agrees not to join NATO, or B) Ukraine cedes Crimea and Donbas to Russia, but has the right to join the organization that want. A Ukraine annexed to Russia, or "independent" but turned...

..mmm I do not think so. You can not compare a war decided by a dictatorship in decline of an underdeveloped country, which to distract the attention of its own people decides to fulfill an old nationalist longing, but pulling the tail of a lion that was not believed to react, with a...

...and apparently the architect of the talks would be China. Are we seeing the definitive decline of the West?...

I'm watching the news on BBC: the Russian government is "ready" to start "talks" with the Ukrainians in Minsk. I imagine the proposals: the Donbass and some other Russian-speaking territory (and obviously Crimea) would definitely become part of Russia...and the rest of the Ukrainian territory...

The "A" of the words in the list have a different origin than the "A" of the words of Arabic origin. As you Maciamo has said, in the case of words of Arabic origin, it comes from the addition of the Arabic article "Al", abbreviated in "A". But in the other words, it comes from the Latin prefix...

And to make matters even more complicated, perhaps several of those WASPs were descendants of an ancient mix of English settlers and Native Americans. If DNA studies had existed at that time...would they have been considered White? Or would they have said that those who look White... are White?...

Very interesting. Not much has been studied about the populations of sub-Saharan Africa. Studies like this will contribute to filling knowledge gaps that lead to errors. I already commented in another thread that my sub-Saharan component (between 1-3% according to the calculators) varies between...

One of the many "weird things" on MyHeritage: the Nigerian component present in so many Southern Europeans. And continuing with the "strange things about Africa": my Sub-Saharan African component (1%) is...Kenyan! Given the history of the slave trade to the American continent, the most logical...

So far, the only finding of a possible settlement, other than l'Anse aux Meadows, is this one in southern Newfoundland. With the recognized seafaring ability of the Vikings, and their excellent ships, it would be very strange if they had only reached these places. Let's think that the...

The change of "F" for "H" in the Gascon dialect is even more marked than in Spanish. This is an extract from Wikipedia ("Gascon Dialect"): " Basque substrate The language spoken in Gascony before Roman rule was part of the Basque dialectal continuum (see Aquitanian language); the fact that the...

According to what I have read, the disappearance of the initial "F" in Spanish is due to the influence of Basque on the eastern part of the incipient Castilian kingdom. There was an analogous influence of Basque in the Gascon dialect: for example, "son" is said "Hilh" (Spanish "Hijo").

Excellent!
