@arnewengertsmann9111 most (not all) of the building costs are artificial. They are not intrinsic to building safe nuclear power plants. And uranium is not rare!

@davor9217 your Serbian imperialism was stopped in the 90’s. That is not exactly “Western imperialism”, is it?
12
Perhaps you shouldn’t be calling a normal centrist party a “Nazi party”? Edit: typo.
12
Long, detailed negotiations and big documents that detail everything they agree upon are very common for coalitions in Europe.
12
Why? Foreigners don't really have a RIGHT to immigrate to wherever they want, do they?
12
@mauricewells7838 Russia is not exactly helping, Ivan.
11
@synkaan2167 anything involving Mélenchon is far left.
11
@nightfly4664 nothing that can’t be fixed quickly with more nuclear power, which the “greens” won’t like. The “climate problem” is a self-inflicted problem.
11
@zininajid no, you couldn’t crash the Euro and even trying would be an act of war, as would blocking the water.
11
She is extremely far left!
11
No, we are not going to play hardball in the EU. The UK is still our next door neighbour (and will remain so forever) after all. We also need to cooperate about external crises now (Ukraine) and in the future (the fall of the Russian Federation, Africa, the Greater Middle East).
10
Most of you didn’t vote for solutions. Sverigedemokraterne still hasn’t reached 25% and lots of people still vote very, very leftist.
10
@adrianthoroughgood1191 in how many ways are you willfully ignorant?
10
The migrants in Italy/Spain were just passing through in order to get to Northern Europe. We got to carry the burden of them, you got to pat yourselves on the shoulder for being “humane”. We have now made it harder for them to reach us, so now you are stuck with more of them. Perhaps you should stop letting them in? As you write, “it’s easy to take the high/superior ethical position when you are far away from the issue”…

@matt69nice Yes, it was. Do you also believe that low IQ is due to "socioeconomic status"? It isn't. Or lack of "education"? Nope, not that either.
10
You need to get your perception recalibrated. She is indeed very far left.
10
@zininajid somebody has been watching too much RT…
10
McCarthy was right, though. This is a lot like what you and most people believe about McCarthy -- but that's not who McCarthy really was. Take a closer look at what he did -- and then take a look at the Venona decrypts.

@1337Stream Meanwhile, Sweden has actual Communists and actual Muslim collaborators. They are apparently totally non-extreme because reasons...

@octavianpopescu4776 East Germany was incredibly expensive for West Germany after their reunification -- and still, there was plenty of people in the East who thought they were the ones getting cheated because all their "great" factories that produced "great" products closed... and because unemployment exploded, of course, because of all the companies that had to close and all those that suddenly had to operate on market terms and therefore fired people who didn't contribute any value. No matter how you run a reunification, it will be costly for Romania and end up with disappointed Moldovans.

Also info on how much help they get behind the scenes from Poland on how to implement the acquis.
9
Correct. We've managed much more reform and integration within the financial area and within defence in the period after Romania and Bulgaria joined than we did in all the years before that. We are also closer to common foreign and security policies now, although we still have a long way to go.
9
Well, Erdogan counted the votes so I'm not sure Turkey actually voted for that...
9
Unification is also more likely to solve the “Turkish” problem — Moldova has a lot of trouble with its Turkish minority, which has autonomy over part of its territory + they always have a Turkish member of the government (which is a huge overrepresentation and very undemocratic).
9
Berlin used to have a surplus of housing and offices so the rent was dirt cheap. That surplus is almost gone so the prices have become normal. That is in no way, shape, or form a housing crisis.
9
@annestovgaard681 a lot of them are “people who haven’t been deported yet”.
9
@randomzocker8956 West Germany became a member while still strictly at war. The peace wasn’t negotiated until the 4+2 agreement that allowed West and Central Germany to reunify. East Germany is seemingly permanently lost to Poland and Russia.
9
@raulpetrascu2696 the racism is obviously entirely on your side.
9
Yes it should. And perhaps stop dragging its feet on its nuclear power project. 2023 is next year and they haven't even chosen a site for its power plant yet.

@imhassane intelligence is largely inherited. It can’t be taught in school. Some populations have a demonstrably lower average than others. It’s in the low 80’s in Northern Africa. It’s around 70 in sub Saharan Africa. We should expect exactly what you experienced: people selected for intelligence go to university and people who decidedly weren’t don’t (for generation after generation). Your kids and the kids of your uni friends will likely be reasonably bright (as long as you don’t have kids with dumb people) and will also have a bright future.

Moldova is free to liberate the area without breaking any laws or treaties. Let’s see if the crime bosses in Transnistria dare do anything.
8
@n0gat No, it's a one-way streets: the immigrants have to integrate.
8
@MareenaJacob-kg7ct I expect something much less crazy, destructive, slanderous, and left extreme. Austrian and Swiss media handled it much better (as did the Danish). It was like watching something from a dictator state. I’m not saying that any large European media handled it well, but the German state media were absurd.
8
@bababababababa6124 “Green” logic. Literally.
8
Because the centrists on the right are called “extremists” and the extremists on the left are called “center-left”...
7
@리주민 it isn’t true. AfD is not extreme in the slightest. Die Linke (“The Left”, the ostensibly “former” Communists) and Die Grüne/B90 (“The Green/Association of ‘90”) are very extremist. German media is totally screwed up and a large part of the population believe the media. Witness the number of upvotes the guy who “didn’t know what I was talking about” got...
7
It’s how Greece worked until recently.
7
Why is the PKK considered a terror group and the Turkish state not? (I think it is self-evident that they both are -- but the Kurds have the right to not be ruled by Turks, whereas the Turks do not have the right to rule over the Kurds. Besides, you supported the wrong side in the recent war with Armenia. It would be good if that war ended up being very costly for Azerbaijan.)
7
Sane immigration policy + insane most other things, insane immigration policy + sane(ish) most other things, insane immigration policy + insane economic policy + insane(ish) most other things.
7
@andybrice2711 but notice that most Eastern European countries were perfectly capable of having mostly sensible immigration policies while being EU members! The UK could have done exactly the same thing — if there had been the political will to do so inside the UK. There wasn’t and isn’t but that wasn’t - and isn’t — the fault of the EU.
7
@Austrolopithe The UK has serious demographic problems. It's not just about the age distribution but also about the IQ/skill distribution -- and the loyalty distribution. Mass immigration from the third world has been really harmful for the UK and will grow to be even more harmful in the future.
7
It is censorship. Obviously.
7
@anderskorsback4104 Russia is also pretending that the occupied territories of Ukraine are part of sovereign Russia. That does not make it so. Latvia was absolutely, 100% occupied by the Soviet Union. Quite brutally so, actually. I think you are the Nazi (or the Commie) here...
7
@comradeuro4255 Southern Europe and Germany gets away with opting out of whatever they want WITHOUT a negotiated accept from the rest of the EU. Giving Iceland a proper one on such an important policy area — and especially when the main problem is too many fishermen in Southern Europe — seems right and proper to me.
7
@evilmex1962 probably not, but don’t we all expect it to be solved in short order if Putin falls and Russia gets weak enough? Same with South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Probably the Kuril Islands as well. Karelia and Königsberg will be harder to solve.
7
@soundscape26 not only that: Parliament can also fire the whole Commission (and in practice also individual commissioners).
7
PASOK recovering, Syriza still exists, Varoufakis still not in jail. No, Greece is still the sick man of Europe :(

It need not be an actual, formal, unified EU army. It could remain as 27(+?) national armies with a common command superstructure -- which is pretty much what the EU has been slowly creating and testing out. The German Empire did not have a unified army, either. It had dozens of bigger and smaller armies under the control of its member states but with a common superstructure. It worked pretty well. In some sense, it's a pity that Trump didn't follow through on his threat to withdraw from NATO. If he had, we would pretty much instantly have turned the EU into a real, full-scale defense union. And it would have happened with public support even in member states whose population currently is on the fence or who have opt-outs (Denmark, Sweden, others).

@_o..o_1871 Please read up on the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.

They still have pretty big money reserves so they hope they can limp on for longer than the European politicians can ignore their angry voters. Trouble is, the European voters are not as angry as Putin hoped... and they are mostly angry at him rather than their politicians.
