Exactly! The "biggest liar" thing: everybody knows they have nukes but they are not allowed to publicly admit it because of the "nuclear opacity" agreement Golda Meir - Nixon from 1969: "The policy...

Yes. Obama mentioned a reduction of 30%. No idea how he can already know, but the German TV commentator of this event said Russia agrees with Obama's idea, as long as other nuclear armed countries...

In a few minutes Obama will deliver his speech at the Brandenburg Gate. If I can trust this Spiegel article, based on AFP information, he "intends to call for further reductions to America's...

Checking the list of passengers might explain why it was shot down. RS

Instead of this ridiculously harmless little gesture she should have done a real "Balotelli", that would have made her famous! :-D RS

Very interesting poll, thank you! Looks like my guess wasn't that bad. The political divide Democrats vs Republicans in the US  -  really no idea if I could find the same here in Germany. Or maybe,...

Interesting AP article: "Interviews with more than a dozen current and former government and technology officials and outside experts show that, while Prism has attracted the recent attention, the...

"invetro", well, a little better, but still wrong: in vitro! :-D RS

I don't want to say there are no denialists here, but I am rather sure it is not 50:50 or 50:60 like it seems to be in the US, at least when judging from what I can read here on this forum. My...

I said "we sure don't have (or at least: no longer have) this US debate if global warming is actually happening or not". One silly book full of half truths, written by two RWE guys (RWE is the...

Thou shalt not use Latin words without looking them up first if you have no idea about this language, it only makes you look uneducated! :-D "In vitro", in a glass, the Latin word for glass is...

A book by Vahrenholt and Lüning ?! Haha, good one! Look at the names in their biographies, Deutsche Shell AG, the energy giant RWE  -  yes, wonderful...

just wanted to let you know, didn't expect an apology. RS

I agree with Jeff here. No idea about "globally", but in Germany we sure don't have (or at least: no longer have) this US debate if global warming is actually happening or not! It is happening,...

It is what I've already posted here yesterday in this reply: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51651062  "The US will keep Patriot missiles and F-16 fighter jets in Jordan after a military...

Can't believe it, I just gave your post a thumbs up ! :-D But what you forgot about is a third version: single father and kid(s). And a  very special version for you: Happy Farter's Day! :-D RS

That explains everything! I knew it! :-D But you only did it because your dear uncle did exactly the same, just some years earlier, right?! RS

Just two weeks ago, already forgotten everything?  ;-) http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51560072 RS

Thanks for an interesting link! A scary development! 4,000 troops " to open up a new ‘Syrian’ front on the Golan Heights against Israel" and "a decision has been taken in Iran – even before last...

Anti-semitic, not really, 2870. Anti-semitic is usually (wrongly!) used in the sense of being anti-Jewish, what I am not. I really don't care if someone is Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim,...
