Not a real country alert. Also I fucked up by forgetting that Tradle counts these things as independent, and also by forgetting that strictly speaking you don't need to have a ressource within your own borders in order to export it.

The Awlaki family sued Leon Panetta for his involvement in the killing of both Anwar (the father suspected of being an Al-qaeda leader in Yemen) and Abdulrahman (the 17-year old American citizen and son of Anwar)
The judge more or less found that there is nothing in American constituional law that prevents the president from declaring people to be terorrist and then killing them, even if they're American citizens, minors, or located in a country that isn't at war with the US
Doesn't Hebrew write like Arabic, where you can just leave out certain vowels, which fucks with a lot of the translation software? In this case, I don't know enough about Hebrew to tell if it distinguishes between U and O in a loanword like Columbia.
Same with my boss. He does probably only 25 hours every week and somehow all the work still gets done. Quite a mystery if you ask me :^)))
They say that the case has insufficient evidence to raise charges, which is cop-speak for "I don't want to do the work"
Nah, Trump being NATO leader would have just shifted the burden more towards Europe than it already was. Making useless grandstanding arguments against Donald Trump was like, every EU leaders favorite action during his presidency.
Everything about the Red-Greens is disappointing. I might just vote for my local communist party next time, and just accept the fact that there can be no hope through parliament. 
Obama being sandwiched between Bush II and Trump is really the most graded-on-a-curve you can ever fucking get. He did shit-fuck for people and every single democrat-voter will forever hold him as the second coming of jesus.
Navalny seems like a pretty good litmus test for whether a critique of Russia/Putin is from an idealist or not. When my lib coworkers were talking about him, I just began reading some of his quotes about the Chechen wars and asked if they believed he had changed his insane right wing attitudes about Putin being too soft. Works pretty well against a liberal who thinks Putin is a Hitler-like figure, though I doubt it made much difference, since people here have unquestionable trust in the Danish state media.
Never thought I'd say this, but god bless Anders Fogh Rasmussen and his full-throated neoliberalism that resulted in the shuttering of the danish armament production.
Now excuse me while I go take a shower
I remember the one day long thread about circumcission, mostly because I was pretty active in that thread and because there was 1 user who just could not get it through his head what I was saying. I kept trying to be respecful and explain to him why his sources were probably not very good, but the guy just would not stop posting. I think I spent an entire work day just replying to that one guy, which isn't exactly my proudest moment on this site, but I genuinely thought I had to push back, because I thought I was the only danish person still active and the guy kept bringing up danish politicians.
Totally agree on PET being incompetent idiots, but when has the American Empire ever demanded that the comprador intelligence agencies be good at their jobs? They mostly just have to be loyal and willing to shed blood upon command, which both the Danish and Baltic services have shown themselves as.
