Muslims score 20 on the Islamophobia Index? What kind of self-hating 5th dimensional logic is this?

I can't believe that he forgot the "Lone Star Flag" of Texas and the Thin Blue Line flag. He's a pinko.

Korea has had a millennia of mostly good relations and trade with China before the split.

Good. It's going to be trickier to expel French forces from the region however.

That'll be four F-35 fighters. The wonders of US Military-Industrial complex never fails to amaze me.

I wasn't convinced before I used them, but induction stoves perform almost on par with gas stoves while not burning my house down. It's a different game from electric stoves.

There are a few obvious wrinkles in his plans. Poland, for example, is probably the most significant European country without a past as a colonial power in Africa, Asia or South America but politicians from around the world will not be blind to some of Warsaw’s latest pronouncements on migration. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki recently said he wants to hold a referendum asking citizens whether they support the arrival of “thousands of illegal migrants coming from the Middle East and Africa.”

So which European country that isn't racist and doesn't have a colonial past?

Historical sticklers could also note that Latvia had a brief past as a colonial power. The Duchy of Courland, an antecedent to Latvia, held territory on the island of Tobago in the Caribbean and on the Gambia River in West Africa in the mid-1600s.

Eternal reminder that Britain mismanaged Parthenon Marbles so they are permanently damaged.

We all know that the west uses two different words for the same thing depending on where it is happening.

e.g. Secret Police vs Plainclothes Officer
Regime vs Government

Can we have a compilation thread of these words? I am probably using many of them unconsciously without critical examination.
