It is not normal to behave aggressively towards someone, get within range to hit them, and then repeatedly close in when the other person tries to backs away. It is not normal for cis people and it is not normal for trans people.

When someone does those things, it generally signals they intend to start a fight.

What did the US gain in Vietnam?

What did the USSR gain in Afghanistan?

Superpowers have a long history of leaving quagmires with their tails tucked between their legs.

The USSR and the US both backed down in Afghanistan, gaining nothing.

The US also backed down in Vietnam, gaining nothing.

Ukraine is Russia's Vietnam. They will leave Ukraine when they realize they will never gain anything by staying.

We already have a hostile response, so the golden bridge is no longer useful.

war mongering

Nowadays when the US gets involved in a war, Europe generally joins them.

the blatant racism

Blatant racism is found throughout Europe.

homophobia

Has Italy legalized gay marriage yet? No? Can gay Italian couples at least adopt children? Oh, that's a shame. How about Greece? Huh.

Christian lobby

Several European countries have major political parties with Christian in their very name. One European country even founded their own state religion.

Trump was visiting foreign countries

Italy practically invented the media-buffoon/fascist-politico/laughingstock combo.

And Trump, like Berlusconi, is no longer in power. But Meloni and Orban still are.

You can certainly put them in jail for attempted murder. And that doesn't require proving they intended to kill that person, it only requires "conscious disregard" of whether their action could kill someone. For example, randomly shooting into someone's house.

Brandishing a firearm can be illegal even if you don't draw it.

¡At least two of those languages have the same problem!

Or, as millions of people have done, you could learn to read from right to left.

¿And don't you hate how US punctuation is at the end? ¿If you read an entire sentence, but you don't even know it is a question until you're at the end, then how do you know which intonation to use? ¡English is subpar and something should be done about that!

It must be tiring at work waiting for the clock to finally strike 00:5pm.

This guy is apparently saying that he wants to know how they are planning to use nitrogen gas, and the state is refusing to tell him.

So the correct analogy would be you refusing to get out of a fighter jet except via ejection seats. Then someone says, "Okay you can get out via 'ejection seats', happy now?". Then you say, "Hey what's up with the air quotes around 'ejection seats'? What exactly are you planning anyway? How does this ejection seat work?". Then they say, "Don't you worry about the details buddy. You'll be 'ejected' from your 'seat', LOL! Now shut up and get in the plane".

"I think something should be available" is not the same as "I volunteer to test it out".

For example, I think ejection seats should be available on all fighter jets.

Nobody serving a life sentence is going to be anywhere near my door.

This was a civil fraud case so incarceration is not on the table. Just huge fines and the end of his company.

Jail is still possible after future trials though.

Be careful what you wish for. Houston is notorious for abolishing its zoning laws, which means that residential and commercial properties are haphazardly scattered rather than concentrated into distinct areas.

People never know when a CVS will pop up next door to their home. Now you know why they form HOAs.

The Supreme Court already took this case. And to everyone's surprise, Roberts and Kavanaugh sided with the liberals and shot down the practice of racial gerrymandering. So Alabama really is being told "no". Again.

Well, there is definitely an anti-assassination sentiment. Probably why Saudi Arabia doesn't get much love either.

"Very" unique indicates being unique in more ways and/or in more severe ways.

The term you're looking for is "very unusual".

Similarly, being "very pregnant"

LOL, ok now say to a pregnant woman, "I don't think you're very pregnant". Please report back to us with her response.

I didn't downvote, but nothing is "very unique" for the same reason that nobody is "very pregnant".

Either it is unique or it is not.
