Okay, the term "invaded" was a bad choice. And while Chechnya is a shithole and a ton of people living there are trash, Russia's military operation over there in 1999 was still based on a false flag, carried out with utmost brutality and a cynical play to pave the way to power for Putin. So it imho belongs on a list of military aggression by Putin, even if it wasn't technically an invasion.

The real quest of the habibis in Chechnya was secession. I don't know if it was false flag or not, but it was clear for Russia that they couldn't allow those forces to fester. Interesting enough, Putin publicly stated that those forces were western funded, once again with some intention to try to balkanize Russia.

Austria, together with Bavaria, is basically Catholic Germany right? Bavarians seem like a very nice bunch, I knew a very nice Bavarian exchange student

It makes sense that the number drops the longer the war goes on

Sounds like a "chaos is a ladder" type situation

Bavaria and Austria have quite a lot of cultural similarities and ties, as well as quite a bit of shared history. They are probably closer, culturally and linguistically, to each other than Bavaria is to Northern Germany.
There are plenty of other predominantly Catholic regions in Germany; and the northern parts of Bavaria actually are quite protestant. But we're getting really off-topic.

The tldr is that it's quite the clusterfuck. Just look at this political map of Central Europe from 1400:

So who's gonna win in Germany? Harris or Trump?

Loool unless he does good right? Hahaha

No.

Whether he wins or loses the debate... it will still have been rigged.
How many times do you have to see debates involving Trump, before you catch on?

Can you show me where a wealth tax is a current proposal from Kamala's campaign?

Even if it were, a wealth tax would need senate support and it's absurd to think, even if Democrats somehow won more than 50 seats in the Senate, that they could pass it, or even that they would want to pass it.

There is no “rigging” it must be hard to be emotionally broken over politics
