Women can be rubbish leaders too you know
Yes. Liz Truss didn’t reach the level of rubbish.
Looking at the UK over the past few years, Ardern was far better than Johnson or Truss.
Yeah she sure was but I wasn't actually saying Ardern was rubbish, I actually quite liked her from what I heard of her. If, however, a female leader is ousted because they're rubbish, it's nonsense to pull the sexism card.

I agree that the questions and comments about prominent womens appearance should stop but men do also face power struggles and ousting's and it's down to the same power politics at play, not sexism. Women can be rubbish leaders too you know.

Ardern's resignation shows that women still face an uphill battle in politics
How does it show that? She basically said herself she's resigning as she doesn't have the energy to do the job fully, reading between the lines she wants to spend time with her family, so how does her resignation connect to an uphill struggle for women in politics?
It doesn't and nothing in the article connects those two things.

NATO exists because of fears of Russian invasion going back to the end of ww2 and the number of countries that were invaded by Russia after ww2. Countries still want to join because of the fear of being invaded by Russia. So what does Russia do to protest this? Invades another country.
Interesting rewriting of history.
If I remember correctly the USSR did most of the fighting most of the retaking of the territories taken by Germany.
Your memerory must've faded with age since the war then. They only faced them in eastern and northern Europe and of course Russia itself. The Russian fight was hugely important to the outcome of WW2 of course. The Nazis took way more territory than where they met the Russians though.....

The Kremlin on Thursday accused Kyiv and Washington of turning a deaf ear to its concerns and charged the United States was using Ukraine as a battleground to weaken Russia.
Russia seems to be doing a grand job of weakening itself. It's concern is that it will lose what land it has illegally occupied, including The Crimea. Putin and his cronies are starting to look worried.

Fans of England still suffering from defeat at the hands of France struggling to allow that country to have the most watched sporting event.
Smashingly cringeworthy.
Put it this way, how many people do you know who really watch the tour vs how many who actually watch the world cup. Most people skip past the tour, they have a look for a moment and move on so it isn't real viewing numbers.

Posted in: Dutch leader apologizes for Netherlands' role in slave trade See in context
painkillerToday 10:06 am JST
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte apologized Monday on behalf of his government for the Netherlands’ historical role in slavery and the slave trade, despite calls for him to delay the long-awaited statement.
Thank you--and you and your fellow countrymen are not responsible for the sins of your grandfathers. Countries like the United Kingdom, which engaged in the slave trade for almost 300 years, can go further than apologies and that type of action would be seen as more sincere.
How exactly is The Dutch apology sufficient and their actions any different to what the UK did and why are British somehow responsible for their ancestors actions but not the Dutch? You are just showing what a small brain you have.

If I was a British soldier I would refuse to cross any picket line. I would be courts martialed for it but so be it. There are some things that honorable people just do not do, and crossing a picket line is one of these.
