That’s right, it’s just the Germanic name for the same deity.

Donnerstag means “day of thunder” and is named after Donar, the god of war in old Germanic mythology. Donar is better known by his Norse name, Thor.

It’s only fair, that’s what they ask countries like Venezuela and Bolivia to do. Oh wait know, it’s actually even less reasonable, they just demand the results be reversed when they don’t like them lol

I’m pretty sure the Reagan hostage deal stuff is actually confirmed, I don’t remember though whether it was tied into his illegal arms sales to Iran or if it was entirely separate from that

They’ve been calling for it for ages. But peace predicated on an actual end to the war which means a full end to the illegal occupation and siege of Gaza etc.

It’s been a while since I felt like that, though I know what you’re talking about. I think I’ve come to terms with it and have a really healthy outlook now. I don’t want to die or anything, there’s a lot more I want to do and see and learn, but I also don’t fear death whenever it comes. In some ways it will be a relief.

No problem. The author is definitely a lib who wrote it from a pro-US perspective as a warning basically, like “if you don’t stop treating Puerto Rico like shit they’re going to leave you for China” but if you can look past the ideology I think it’s got some good info.

If Puerto Rico were independent it could start doing deals with China which the US doesn’t want, I read a whole book about that once which I can’t remember the details of super well but maybe the book would interest you.
