The have a mutual defence clause, yeah.
But EU is not specifically a military alliance, unlike NATO.
and requires assistance by member states with all the means in their power.
That clause doesn’t specify military assistance. It does mean it, but it’s not exclusive to it and leaves it up to the country to decide what is in their power.
The point is that EU is first and foremost an economical alliance, and Putin has no excuses for his crimes.
Truly pitiful.
But eh, the facts remain. I can discuss anything and I won be leaving this thread. Enjoy your tantrum mr “depression is just in your head”.
Well shit, does that end the theorising? So did Morgoth have a body or not whilst in that fight you were describing?
Oh the question of “is depression really just in your head”?
It isn’t. You’re incorrect.
You need to learn to accept when you’re wrong. I looked at your posts, and you post shit I agree with. You’re just clearly not experienced in controlling your emotions. You don’t know me and I don’t know you, yet you allow this obsession over me mocking you for being wrong to control you so badly that you ruin your entire account for it.
Get a grip, kiddo. We need people who are able to control themselves. Everyone is wrong now and then. Accept it and move on. You don’t even need to correct me. Just fucking stop replying. I won’t. I promise you that.
It was the EU not NATO that surrounded him.
Yeah like with rapists, I don’t really care for their reasoning. NATO is a military alliance, EU isn’t, so even if we assume that worrying about nearby military alliances is a “justified” reason to, idk, invade your neighbouring country, it still isn’t a justification, as EU is not a military alliance.
Them saying that is like someone who beat their wife to death saying “it all began with her having glanced at a man who walked past.”
In early 2013 the Ukrainian parliament agreed to make legal steps towards EU ascension
EU, unlike NATO, is not a military alliance.
Oh this isn’t on lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml? I’m so surprised! /MEGA-S
Well, the pure power wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t concentrated enough to destroy the hröa their enemies was using to influence the Seen, I guess. Like they’d have first destroy their enemies physical being to be able to influence their incorporeal being?
And to do that, you’d want to focus your power, so you’d need a “lens” of sorts, meaning you’d use a body to fight the enemy?
Oh wait no, Morgoth didn’t have a physical body in that fight? Uh, I’d probably do well to read the Silmarillion again lol.
Well, I guess, but… you could argue that Zionists are mostly seen to be purely Jewish due to the nature of the movement.
I’m honestly curious as to how long you will keep this childish shit up.
You took a big fat L. Deal with it.
I’ll give you a week, maybe two that you’ll be able to keep this up. And think of what your profile will look at that point. You’ll try to make a point about anything in any thread, people will check your profile and see that there’s three weeks of you repeating a single comment.
Do you think they’ll perceive you as an authoritative and credible person? ;D
Oh I haven’t heard of French Maias, but I did know Sweden has Maja, that’s probably where it came to Finnish from, I’d wager. Yeah, Wikipedia says the Scandic equivalent is Maja, yeah. It’s a deviation on “Mary” as I suspected from Mary Poppins.
You already know you’ve taken the L, but now you’re trying to prove me wrong. About anything. Like how I said “you will give up.”
You will.
Because I can change my comments, but you can’t. My profile won’t look like an insane person’s, will it?
Depression, just like your obsession, isn’t “just in your head.” Me writing this is literally changing the hormones in your body because of how hard I trigger you by reminding you of how big of an L you’ve taken. Your blood is literally boiling.
Huh, you do get what I mean. Have you ever imbibed any illicit substances, or just good narratives? (I’m hoping the answer is “both”, but I don’t judge.)
However, a hröa can also focus and direct the energies innate to a fëa, which could make the being more powerfu
That’s a very good point.
I don’t think there’s any evidence that a Maiar with a hröa is weaker than a Maia without a hröa.
I don’t think “weaker”. I just think limited until the body burns up and their full might is revealed, sort of. Like if they had to fight another maia, that is. Like a huge bodybuilder in a weird costume that limits their actions, but if you actually started a fight with them, they’d just punch you “for real” and the cardboard of their costume wouldn’t be in the way, it’d just tear off while they’re punching you through the costume.
I would say that without a hröa, the fëa can’t be “focused” and is therefore weaker (from the wiki (no source provided):
I get your point, but I think it’s more about the sort of fight that’s going on. Like if you have a lense, it’s not gonna make the light source more powerful, but it can focus it into a neater beam, making it more powerful in that spot, but then that focusing would mean that there’s less light going around “the room” in general. Like a beam of light that’s as powerful as an orb of light would burn your eyes if directed at you, but also, would be less blinding than an orb of light if directed away from you. So in that sense, the hröa being able to focus power would be a positive and a negative, depending on the type of environment/enemy you’re facing.
Oh wow, you’ve really turned the tables on me there, I don’t know what to do now that you’ve capitalised “really”.
You can’t address anything in the thread. You can’t change your comment. You can’t change your tactic. You just repeat, repeat, repeat. I can address anything. I could even talk about my own mental health issues, which of course I’ve had, I’m an adult. You’re not an adult, and you haven’t recognised any of your own issues (one of which I just diagnosed for you a few comments ago, LOL), I would wager. Which is why you say childish things like “depression is just in your head” (despite being shown very simple science showing you’re incorrect) and which is why you think your question is somehow a gotcha or an insult. It’s genuinely making my belly tickle with laughter that you’re serious about your comments.
Depression isn’t “just in your head.” You’re wrong. But you simply can not accept it. :)
Why are you in this thread again?
I wouldn’t say “restricts”, as much as “limits”. I do have a difference in mind for what I mean by that, but I understand just using cursive probably isn’t enough to communicate it.
May I ask what texts are you referring to that actually touch on this? I’m not implying disagreement or that I’ve read them, I definitely haven’t, my depth basically goes to the depth of ‘I read most of Silmarillion as a teenager’. I’m curious because I might be inclined to read them if I see them.
dissipate into nothing (Sauron after the destruction of the one ring
Tell me if I’m wrong, and I probably am, but isn’t this because Sauron poured so much of his essence (fëa I suppose) into the ring that after it was destroyed, he lost so much of his power as to not be able to exist anymore and thus dissipated into nothing? So before he did that, if his body was destroyed, he was able to hang on, but after the Ring was destroyed, he wasn’t powerful enough and thus “truly” died.
But yeah I don’t see anything contradicting my thoughts in that paragraph of yours. I’m just saying that for the while that any Maia inhabits a body, they’re less powerful than they are when disembodied, although I don’t know if then we also have to consider where that power can be applied to, as in the Seen and the Unseen.
See before; “I know you won’t answer any of that.”
If only you saw how childish your rhetoric is. I can actually show you. We’ll have a whole conversation about it, and I’ll teach you to use it better… after you reply to a simple yes or no question: Do you believe Russia has broken international law with their illegal war of aggression by invading Ukraine in February 2022?
No it isn’t.

I usually don’t do this, but I didn’t even read your entire comment, that’s how fucking stupid it was.
