    European Politics

    Ahh .. it is different here. There are 2 basic kinds of mortgages 1) Fixed Rate which locks in a certain rate for the length of the contract which are usually 15 or 30 years 2) Variable rates that are tied to the prime rate + some percentage (based on the bank, credit, loan amount, etc)...

    European Politics

    You really only are subject to the increase in interest rates if you have a variable-rate mortgage, which I am not sure why anyone would take out when rates were so low (at least not in the US .. no idea how that works anywhere else

    Steve Harris

    It would be cool, but I do not think it would be good for his voice. I really do hope he does a solo tour at some point. So many good songs that should be sung live from his albums

    Russia invades Ukraine

    If russia does not "win" (however they define that now), I think regime change happens internally. Whether who follows is any better is a different story. I do think China needs to play this carefully and they understand that. On one hand, they certainly have their own ambitions, but on the...

    USA Politics

    In a perfect world, which US politics is nowhere close, someone would take advantage of this to look at 1) Review the classification system as a whole 2) Come up with a process for dealing with classified documents. Seriously treat it like a library, you check something out, you return it But...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    Yeah, there is no way Ukraine occupies Russia, luckily they do not want to. We (the west ... and really the world) needs to arm Ukraine to kick the Russians back to Russia ... and if that happens (or looks like it will happen), Putin is toast. Then the question is who replaces him, someone...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    I agree that anti-missile drone stuff is what is needed now (really needed some time ago) and waiting for all these reactions is getting a lot of people killed. The ultimate goal needs to be getting Ukraine what it needs to kick them out of Ukraine completely

    Russia invades Ukraine

    I would edit February this year way back in time with their other expansionist moves starting with Chechnya (post USSR) .. certainly with Crimea at the earliest

    Russia invades Ukraine

    I would not kick them out of the UN, but I would relook at russia being the USSR successor.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    The UN does some stuff okay-ish, it is rather bloated IMO. But from its charter the original mission was peace and it has clearly failed miserably and the USSR/russia is a massive reason for that. They are not a superpower, they are a big country with nukes, but very 3rd world-ish in many...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    Ukraine played this perfectly. Talk about the south, send out warnings to Crimea, hit targets there. russians pour troops and equipment to the south. Ukraine destroys bridges, command centers, ammo dumps (thanks HIMARS) effectively trapping them all there from a strategic point of view, then...
