Reply to comment by luminarium in Denmark to scrap public holiday to pay for NATO spending by Zhukov-74
It might not quite occur to you, but most of the time the reason that countries go all-in in this kind of defence is that it cost them more to not do it.
Stopping Russia now is akin to going back in time and stopping Hitler in Poland during World War 2, a lot less bloodshed would happen as a result.
Most countries that've got involved are doing so because it's the lesser of two costs.

Reply to ‘Environmental madness’: Scottish Power wind turbines hooked up to diesel generators by MostIncrediblee
This is more just clickbait media bollocks and faux outrage.
If using a diesel generator temporarily to stop damage to a turbine costs less than the alternative, it's probably a good decision for the environment.

Reply to Man forced to leave home after 17 different cars crashed into his property by ilikeboyswithglasses
If I were forced to live in that house I'd make a fence out of steel I-Beams driven deep in to the ground, possibly even braced on the other side.
Heck, maybe line the strike face with old tyres for the sake of the idiots who keep crashing in to it.
