I vaguely recall a certain whisky-producing region having some sort of referendum at one point. Must have dreamt it, sorry.

Well, you’re not exactly contributing to a world where that insecurity is eliminated. And besides, you’ll never win an emotional debate with rational arguments.

He doesn’t enunciate or articulate when speaking, which makes it hard to understand him clearly when he’s on camera. I think it should be easier in person, but as a non-english speaker it was pretty hard to understand him at times, as he muddies his words. I guess that could perhaps make it easier to think he’s a bit sketchy. I got the feeling he tries to do right though, but I’m no expert.

I agree and disagree, I guess. It’s sad that so much money is invested in the military industrial complex, but since those weapons are used to fight an opressive and dictatorial regime in favor of democracy, I guess its better. Both Sun Tzu and Clausewitz refer to the use of an army as the continuation of the political process, and democratization of Ukraine is to many a worthy goal, as opposed to the growth of the Russian sphere of influence. Opposing Russia now might lead to a lower overall negative impact than if the same figth is had after Ukraine is annexed and Poland is next in line, but that’s just a hypothetical.

Because the thing holding it together is plastic and using plastic frivolously is frowned upon. The label tears so the turtles live. Convenience costs environment, deal with it.
