Sorry to inform you mr Latvian president but common sense says, that Latvia does bring nothing to the european or NATO table, and I was very mild with that statement, because actually the defense of Latvia is the hugest drain on NATO right now. So by common sense what every European should await from your Latvian citizens, is not to boss around in Ukraine, while contributing nothing, and provoke Russia, but maintain as low profile as you can, and leave the matters of Ukraine to those evil French and German giants, who actually defends Latvia and contribute to Ukraine, not just in words but real time. With all due respect your country is the fly in the cartshaft, who thinks he drives the cart, and if you continue thisway that will collect some very powerful enemies to your nation.

I have been through conscription as well, and majority of the time we were just rotting in our barracs or doing some sentry tasks. Sure basic training is tough, but it ends relatively fast then the boredom comes. Conscripts arent held to the standards of the professional military anyway. BTW I was there too, they needed someone who could code in basics, I applied so I sticked for a while, it was entirely different serving there. But theres a misunderstanding in people about these structures, although I worked in military RnD, it was a basic requirement, that I could handle the duty of a basic grunt anytime, theres no such thing as "truckdriver" in military, the onlyones who arent required to be able to fight are medics and priests.

As a Hungarian I remember hundreds of Hungarian servicemen dying in Iraq and Afghanistan for American causes, and not a single American dying ever for Hungarian causes. Heck you guys dont even have a military base in the country. So then by what respect do you think we owe you something? We are allies on equal grounds, dear, your nuclear umbrella, or military promises is only a theoretical possibility, not a real thing around here, so we should stick to the we dont ask about your friends and business interests, you shouldnt ask about ours directive. Of course you can decide to get rid of us, I dont think we would experience it as a real loss, at least we could be on the same path as Austria is in, that it is protected by NATO while not contributing a dime to it, and if the situation gets hot, well, we have our nuclear powerplant as you mentioned, which can be retrofitted for different purposes. As for the Finnish and Swedish accession, I would add, its not an entirely wise strategy to badmouth someone who has the power to have your country out of an alliance, so maybe noone has to be a master diplomat to give advices against such behaviour. In other words, if you come to us to ask something you need then at least pretend being a friend.

Yeah, thatshow the Germans found the convoys as well. That circle shaped thing on the conning tower was a directional finding antenna. But they monitored radio traffic in antennas all around the Atlantic coast as well. If two of those towers catched the transmission of a convoy ship they could find its position, and since they made their tranmission periodically, they could determine the convoy's speed and course as well. Then they sent out a U boat to investigate, which generally submerged and listened for the propeller noises, which could be catched sometimes 100 km afar, so he could calculate the exact position and course of the convoy. Then after chasing it down and identified tit the U boot called in the wolfpack. Then the sub generally shadowed the convoy for a few hours till the other subs got into position. During the attack phase one sub launched its torps which got the attention of the escorts who moved away hunting for it, then the other subs teared apart the remaining merchant ships. As of Kretchmer, he didnt sink his prey at first shot, but damaged it enough that since it was slower it had to move out of the convoy, then he simply finished it off with his deckgun.

1. Well, I would stop at your first point. You say, that socialism is state control of economy. I don't know where you got this definition, but in that case every state controlled economy would be socialist. That means that from the Caesars of Rome to the absolutist kings, certainly controlled the state, and by having the right from giving and taking back nobility and lands, which were actually the backbone of production until the industrial age, and have the right to impose such taxes as they wanted to to anyone who they wanted to, give and refute exclusive trading rights to individuals or groups, hell even they could determine the official measurement units in commerce, so in one word they controlled the state and every aspect of economy, thatswhy by your definition they would be qualified as socialist. From August to Henri the VIII. Well, nope, they werent, because state controlled economy is a wider paradigm than socialism. But not even every socialism is state controlled. In the swedish socialist model the factories aren't supposed to be owned by the state but by the trade unions, which is different.
2.Public and state is not the same, that is politely saying a ridiculous argument. In that case any firm which shares are traded publicly on the stock market would be qualified as state owned firms. No those are publicly owned firms, because the company is owned by a group of shareholders in a completely capitalistic scenario. But then what makes it a good thing that a factory is owned by shareholders, and what makes it bad, that a company is owned by its workers? Is there any difference? And what does the state has to do with all of this? It is a sidepoint that if Hitler hated the stockmarket, which is run by shareholders, and, according to your own words a state in the state, then you just proved, tha according to your logic Hitler was indeed, a capitalist. Ok that would be a cheap shot, but shows how convoluted this logic really is, that a firm owned by shareholders isn't a privately owned firm. But I try to hang on, so if there is more than one owner of one posession then it is socialism, according to your argument. But in real life it is very rare, that one posession has one and only one owners. Of course if someone is living in a cave without any kind of company then the person can own his cave but as soon as this said person would have some male/female company, worse children, then the family would also gain ownership on the aforementioned cave.Maybe it is not on the cave ownership papers yet, however every single jurisdiction would rule that the cave is not the posession of alfa male or female, but the family, and if some of them wants their share, it has to be compensated. So by this definition there is only a theoretical possibility, that someone acutally doesn't live in socialism. Besides there comes the question of what gives the cave owner the right to own the cave. There can be two things, a shotgun in his shoulder, in that case he is either the owner, or a robber, so it is not entirely a sure thing. The only thing what can give the cave owner the absolutely legitimateownership of the cave is actually the society or the horrid/putrid state. Because in the case a cave robber wants your cave and maybe you don't want to fight it down, you need at least your neighbours to legitimize your ownership claim, but you and your neighbours would form a group, what is a state in a state, according to your argument.
3. You are actually somewhat right about Marx, and on the other hand not right about him too. Yep, Marx is outdated, his views mostly are intrinsically XIX. century ones, the good old times when the last remnants of those absolutist "socialist" kings were raging on and putting their subjects on whom they had divine rights to prisons, or some guys who thought because they born is some European countries they would count as more civilized than others, and in the name of private ownership, they simply took other people's lands, or just simply thought it is a good idea to use that pesky state and in the name of progress get other people's lands for their own projects in a discounted price. So in that world Marx came into the conclusion that an individual, no matter where he born, or how much he have, has no absolute right over that pesky state, but rather a collective has the right to govern that pesky state, which is actually democracy. Not the XIX. century version of it, where some wealthy guys could go and vote some friend of theirs beside their aristocrat buddies to rule, but that basically anyone has that right. By today's standards, there were not a single country or city or community in the world which would be considered democratic in the XIX. century. Yes of course you can tell, but we can't make judgement of XXI. century stadards on XIX. century countries, but there is a serious flaw with that argument. Either we can make that judgement, and we can call British parlamentarism, or the US constitution a bunch of rosy lies in the shadow of slavery and poverty, but then we told that those systems, aka the capitalist system was horrible inhumane, and outright worse than what even the totalitarian states were, because in a totalitarian state the police is not as enthusiastic to imprison you for his well earned monthly salary, than an individual slaver to imprison you for his daily profit. What Hitler or Stalin did is comparable to nothing that what those people did, who set out to rule 5 continents and claim every bit of land. Of course you are a historian, but this carnage is well underdocumented, because it is literally written by the victors. Thats just simple math, there are more potential slavers than policemen. Or we can tell that those weren't lies at all, because we have nowadays more or less democratic societies and it was found back then when these ideals were just rosy lies. But then on what ground would we criticize Marx more than lets say Thomas Jefferson, who wrote down that every man born free, and then went back to his little plantation to enjoy the literal blood sweat and tears of his slaves. We can't give Jefferson the great statesman and visionary card, and at the same time call a marxist someone who believes in rosy lies, because the one who believed that f.e. the USA is founded on these principles is believing a rosy lie too. Ok, the USA is nowadays more or less democratic, but there are a ton of social democratic parties governing, who are intrinsically Marxist, but doesn't operate a totalitarian state. So if we tell that the USA made it above its founder's mistakes and lived up to its ideals, then we have to say, that the socialists more or less learned from the fallacies of Marx and lived up to the ideals of socialism. So to cut it short yes Marx was a horrible human being with reactionary views, as well as Most ot the XIX. century people, and every single politician or political theorist were horrible human beings with reactionary views. You can't condemn one and console another. Well, you can do, but then you also have your rosy picture about your favorites in history, what is a subjective belief and not an objective assessment.
4. I know it is called Marxism, but it wasn't just written by Marx. So Marx was an antisemite yes thats totally right, but to tell, that marxists are all anitisemites, or socialists are all antisemites is just ridiculous, like saying that pope Francis I was antisemite, so then every single catholic is an antisemite. Besides that socialism and antisemitism are related in any way is kindof BS, worse than that it is actually nazi thinking. Because that would involve that assumption that the jews are greedy assholes, or jews are intrinsically capitalist money men and therefore they must be hated for it, while the capitalists are so nice guys, that they overlook their greediness, which is not even true, I look at you Henry Ford. Well most of the marxists I guess are not nazi and know that jews are humans, there are good guys, there are bad guys amongst them, some of them is rich some of them is poor. There is no such thing as money men jew, because thats exactly the nazi thinking. Yep Marx was antisemite, and he have to be condemned for it, but that doesn't mean that marxism is antisemite, because it is not just Marx.
5. Ok, I see the Oxford dictionary definition of a state, what is a territory or a nation as it is written down, but here actually you again contradict yourself, because earlier on you told, that a group of people is considered as a state. Well a group of people is certainly not a territory, it could be a nation, but come on, a group of shareholders is not a nation, because there is nothing in common them except that they happen to own something together. They don't have the same belief systems, the same origin story, nothing what makes a nation a nation. So a group of workers/shareholders is not a state according to Oxford dictionary.
6. Well, its nice that you don't fear the company owner.... Except when you fear that Youtube, the company owner would shadow ban your account, because there is a graphic violence scene in a described historical content, so you rather self-censor yourself just to monetize a little more and don't get into trouble with the private god. So don't lie to each other, you DO FEAR the company owner, just not all of company owners, and play by their book. Besides yes the grocery owner guy could have you as a slave back in the days of Marx, that was called slavery, and it was worse than if a bored police guy was going after you, because the grocery owner guy was actually financially motivated to go after you, while the police guy get his monthly check regardless of finding you or not.

The problem with your report is, that again a ton of anglo-saxon "experts" are telling us the politics of Eastern Europe. Well they are maybe good intentioned, but don't have the authority and knowledge of those times. It is really unimportant why Putin sees the collapse of the Soviet Union as a political disaster. The real question is, why the average Russian, Belorussian, Armenian, etc sees it as a political disaster, and while it has something to do with the KGB/Russian secret service, its just some part of the tale. The KGB can't make resentments and sentiments which aren't already presented in society. The collapse of the Soviet Union wasn't just that this privileged KGB guy can't walk back anymore to his Leningrad spy center to continue robbing money, it meant political persecution and ethnic cleansing of all kind of ethnics all around the former USSR. That happened in the Caucasian states, Kazahstan, Uzbeghistan, Turkmenistan etc, and most of the time the targets weren't even Russians. There are a tons of refugees living in substandard conditions somewhere not in their homeland, because of it. And thatswhy when Putin says, that he moves into Ukraine to defend the ethnic Russians there actually deeply resonates with Russian society, and can be sold as a noble intention, not just some reactionary fascist russian people want to cling to the former glory of their empire.

You mean the second Ukrainian army, ordered by Nikita Khruschev, former head of the Ukrainian state, and a Dontesk born miner? Some people tend to forget that Ukraine was actually part of that Soviet Union, which delegated half of its leadership. And not the better half. Kruschev, Andropov, Trotsky and Brezhnev were Ukrainian, Lenin, Chernenko and Gorbachev were Russian, and Stalin was Georgian, thats a slight advantage to the Uke side.

Ryan, its simply cant go that China is marching around the globe offering business opporunities for Africa for Asia, for Latin America, fro Greenland, followed up by Americans offering threats and insults, which are mainly empty BTW. You incredibly start looking like the Soviet Union, and Chinese start looking like who the Americans were 40 years ago, the guys who understand business. If Americans want to build airports in Greenland, build mines in Greenland theres absolutely no obstacle to that, some of the American companies already doing it. If Americans want exclusive rights that means they have to invest more, because what your politicians do is outright comical.

This over romanticism of special forces were viewed as a military mistake even, when special forces were a new thing.
The views of the majority of the post-war British military establishment were made succinctly by Slim (commander of the Fourteenth Army), when he wrote "... the Chindits, gave a splendid example of courage and hardihood. Yet I came firmly to the conclusion that such formations, trained, equipped and mentally adjusted for one kind of operation were wasteful. They did not give, militarily, a worth-while return for the resources in men, materiel and time that they absorbed. ... [Special forces] were usually formed by attracting the best men ... The result of these methods was undoubtedly to lower the quality of the rest of the Army".[40] He makes several other arguments against special forces, about the danger of ordinary battalions thinking that some tasks could only be performed by special forces, and that special forces can only stay in the field for relatively short periods compared to regular battalions. He sums up that "Anything, whatever the short cuts to victory it may promise, which thus weakens the Army spirit is dangerous".[40] To underline his point he suggests that "This cult of special forces is as sensible as to form a Royal Corps of Tree Climbers and say that no soldier, who does not wear its green hat with a bunch of oak leaves stuck in it should be expected to climb a tree".

Orban is famously storying that when he asked why is it that Eastern Europeans are constantly put under pressure to maintain the Maastrich crtieria of fiscal resposibility, actual Eurozone members are constantly breaching it, and Merkel told him, that there is already a multi tier Europe in place and there are countries like France, who can do anything what they want, and wont be pnished, and there are others like the Greeks whom are excellent to make an example out of, so the others will fall in line... that was when Orban was treated as a democratic leader a decade ago. So please dont pretend that there are rules in the EU, its the wild west, where everyone do as they please, while the Germans are constantly scheming to make it their private empire. Its not a co a coincidence, that you are after Hungary, but you were never after Poland, because you had the idea to use it as a big block in Eastern Europe at the German side. This all BS about the veto rights is just anothe German powergrab attempt, if we look at the EP, majority is German, the EU is lead by a German, EPP led by a German, if Germans want to push their will through they want no resistance by occupying every single position in the decisionmaking. OK, if they would be good at it, but besides their powerhunger Germans are extremely timid and overtly cautious to make bold decisions, they could be the most hightech country in the world yet they lag behind in tech of the 70s because they didnt even want to take the risk of entering the digital world, when they were so good in making cars, they are generally not good leaders, they dont have a plan or a vision for Europe they just want power for power's sake, so making the worst possible combination of both worlds. Now after German leadership lost WWI, lost WWII, I would ask, do you really want these people to decide for your country, without you having a single word in it? Especially if that decision includes weapons war and Russia in that sentence?

From worst to best.
T90 is basically a combination of the best parts of a T-72 (very good and robust, yet easy to service and cheap suspension, hull, engine and transmission) and the best parts of the T80 (Turret, fire control, and sights)
It still suffers the same faults in the vulnerability of ammo in the auto-loader.
The 125mm on it is the Same as the T-80 and proven insufficient to penetrate most western MBTs frontally even at 500 meters with tungsten ammo. The British bought some in 1992 through a third party and thoroughly tested them, then they passed some on to the Americans which we tested “Extensively” and then we passed the ones we didn’t ruin to the Germans who shortly there after began an upgrade program to their Leopards. I had the good fortune of taking part in that last round of tests. The gun launched ATGM is a band aid to help engage targets at over 3000 meters as the main gun elevation isn’t sufficient to shoot HEAT rounds past that range. In every other respect, they are inferior to a HEAT round, with the added drawback that the tank must remain stationary and exposed during the whole long flight time of the missle at that range.
Later on in 2000, we did get to buy a fresh T-90 (Called a T-72BU back then) from defecting troops in Chechnya, The reactive armor was good, stopping TOW and Dragon missles. The rest was minor improvements over the T-80. At only 48 tons it is the lightest of the bunch but simple physics tells you that there just isn’t enough mass of armor there to stop a modern APFSDS round, Composite armor, while somewhat lighter than the equivalent thickness of RHA, is still very heavy, the primary benefit being that you don’t need to have a meter thick front turret to have well over a meter thickness RHAe. Were it 1.5 times as effective as The DU armor on an M1 (And it is most definitely not) The T-90 just cannot cary enough at that weight to be as well protected.
The Leopard 2A4 Proved vulnerable to the T-80s gun hence the Rapid Modernization of most European Leo 2’s to 2A5 and Later 2A6 standard in the mid- late 90s and the willingness of the Germans to fire sale 2A4s to anyone with the cash. The Germans refuse to use DU ammo and found out their tungsten ammo had difficulties with the T-80 front turret at 1500m+, leading them to add barrel length to the gun (55 vs 44 lengths) to combat this. The additional Applique armor on the 2A5 proved capable of holding up to the 3BM48 depleted Uranium 125mm APFSDS.
So of course the Ex-American Tanker picks the M1 right, If you are going to accuse me of jingoism, you may want to stop reading now.
Well I actually was there and got to watch as a 3BM48 failed to penetrate both a Challenger 2 and an M1A1 at 1000m then again at 500m frontally. It was able to penetrate both tanks from side shots at 1000m which was concerning.
Kontakt 5 reactive armor did prove to be able to disrupt an M829A2 sabot round 1 out of 3 times to the point that full penetration of the front turret was not possible, leading to the development of the M829A3 round which was designed specifically to defeat this type of armor.
Mobility goes to the M1 as well, it’s governed speed is the lowest of the 3, but that is really to protect the tracks, top road speed is a useless figure in combat Acceleration is the key, getting you from one spot of cover to the next. The only tank I have ever seen out accelerate an M1 is a T80- That’s it. It will out accelerate the Leo 2 and the heavier 2A5 or 2A6 regularly as well as the T90, though admittedly the T-90 scoots very well, out-running the Leo 2A5.
The M256 L/44 120mm did fine with old M829A2 APFSDS penetrating nearly 70% of the time at 2500 meters with ERA, and 100% without at 3000 meters.
Sadly, we were not allowed to test M1 vs Leo vs Challenger 2, and to be honest I would not want to get hit by a HESH round from a Chally-period.

So lets start to call things what they are:
1. The British have a vested interest in this war, because it pushes Europe down, and make their Brexit viable.
2. The US have a vested interest in this war, because it keeps Britain and the EU in the same basket, and push their influence through NATO
3. The Russians have a vested interest in this war, because if they dont do it now then they will face a Maidan type coup in the near future
4. The Chinese have a vested interest in this war, because it opens them a direct land route to Europe and Africa, and their manufacturing base gets the raw materials it needs, so they cant be contained by the US Navy.
5. Ukraine have a vested interest in this war, because theres a lot of money to grab for the elites from the aid.
6. Poland and the Baltics have a vested interest in this war, because they want to see Russia going down in flames for historical reasons.
7. The Czechs have a vested interest in this war, because they are the main weapons manufacturers in Europe, who sometimes find 1 million artillery shells around which is for sale.
8. The French have a vested interest in this war, because Russian PMCs stealing their colonies.
9. Germany have no vested interest in this war, but their politics and media is deeply infiltrated by the intelligence agents of those who do.

Rockets will fall to Kiev this christmas, and next chrismas, and the chrismas after, and the christmas 10 years from now, it will continue as long as there is a glimpse of chance that Ukraine will join NATO. There wont be electricity, food, heating, your soldiers wont get any money, they will just die on the fronts. NATO has moved on years ago, sometimes they send a van with food, or a dozen of rockets as charity. Joe Biden makes sad faces in his presidential library as an ex president, for the lost Ukrainian generation, while his successor will have a dont talk about Ukraine directive, or a dont sink money into that pit directive. Zelensky will live on his Florida apartment, as an observant who forgot even that Ukraine exists. Anti immigrant feeling will get stronger in Europe, they slowly start to deport back Ukrainian refugees. Corruption will run rampant, money will worth nothing. Thats the future of the winners.

Actually it can help the climate, although its a rather indirect argument, that whoever han an EV wont use public transport, so his overall emissions will be actually higher. In my case I generally use a train to commute, and have an ICE car which I use maybe twice a week, if I would own an EV there wouldnt be a point to use the train, I would use the EV, because if I payed for it, then the electricity of what it use makes it cheaper than the public transport, and it will expire in 10 years, so theres no point not using it as much as you can.

Mi az, hogy van egy DÖNTÉS Európában. És ki hozta ezt a döntést Kaiserkém, legfőképp mire alapozva? A CNN-es hazugságcunamira, amivel tisztáramosták a te agyadat is? 2000 tank, mi ne haragudj már de hogy a lópikulába érhet az egy egyetemen katedrát, ha valaki ekkora hülyeségeket és dezinformációkat lazán beszop. Tán mint magyar állampolgárt leginkább az ilyen döntések demokratikus háttere kellene, hogy izgasson, nem az, hogy mi zajlik tőlünk jó ezer kilométerre. Ki döntötte el, Bájden, vagy Soros, vagy ki a hóhér? És milyen alapon hoz döntést a fejünk felett? Csakúgy mondanám neked, hogy 10 éve jelezzük minden egyes fórumon, hogy nem értünk egyet az ukrán nácik etnikai tisztogatásaival, csak ezt akkoriban kenyéradó gazdáidnak nem akaródzott meghallani, most viszont hirtelen erkölcsi DÖNTÉSeket hoznak, de most, hogy a saját náciskodásuk bajt hozott a fejükre természetesen nekünk kéne megint elárulnunk a saját testvéreinket, hogy támogathassuk a gyilkos ballib cimboráidat. Annak meg inkább ők örüljenek hogy nem szállunk szembe velük, ugyanis Európa momentán úgy áll, hogy a mi hadianyagunk hiperszuper mennyiség az övékhez képest, és ha megindulnánk max dollárkötegeket dobálhatnának ránk.

Yep they should definitely put some radar guidance on those machine guns, maybe an IR tracker. I think we have some leftover really old AA systems which actually could be converted cheaply to help these guys, although the problem is how to shelter them, because a bigger antenna could actually fry them. Unfortunately I dont think we have off the shelf solutions for such shtty drones, so it requires some tinkering around. As it comes into my mind some of the old warsaw pact states maybe have their old MiG-21s around for salvage, those had a rudimentary targeting computer and a powerful tracking radar and machine gun config which would be a great improvement even if mounted into a ground platform. Maybe there are some lying around in Ukraine somewhere, it would be awesome, if Ukrainians could make a proof of concept, then I guess we could get them hundreds of those parts, if not thousands or if we get a detailed plan we can assemble the system and ship it down, unfortunately not a lot of people can handle old soviet tech anymore in NATO.

Lol yeah that when you calculated that 100.000 russian died in the battle of Kiev, because of the 1000 T72s shot there? Even if we believe that number, even if we count every single T72 crew dead, which is not likely, a russian tank is operated by a 3 men crew, that would add up as a 3000 strong casualty. Also please leave us alone with those BS what infographics show and other idiots spreading, that they get something from telegram cahnnels of Spetznaz troops. Special forces are not idiots, they dont manintain social media accounts, and hide their identity. If you see a guy who tells you he is an active green beret or spetznaz, or SAS in facebook or tlelegram, he is lying to you, fair and square.

13. Well, sorry to inform you, but Jeff didn't hard worked and spared hard for what he gained. He simply found the right investors, and convinced them to pay for him. I don't even know that Jeff can write a single line, or know from what his shop works. But thats the better case. The worse is Elon, who didn't work hard for what he gained. He actually gained money on the ground, that Compaq bought his website knowing full well, that even if its worth nothing, Californian taxpayers, you know the roofers and programmers, and postal people, who bring out the package instead of Jeff, will pay for Compaq, so they can just win on the business, and only taxpayers can lose on it (of course they lost it was worth shit). Now if you think, that it would work for you as well, then I can assure you, it wouldn't, because nto everyone can be Jeff or Elon. Ok maybe Im wrong because Jeff and Elon are billionaires so they pay horrendous taxes, you would think, so this money would be coming from one of them. Well noooo, because Jeff and Elon don't have any income on paper, they have billions of worth of shares, and their company is so generous that it gives them loan to their credit, but you don't pay taxes after your debt. So, while Elon Jeff and Donald are on paper the world most richest mans, they actually pay less taxes, than the capitalist hero guy in his corner shop, whose shop is killed by Jeff. You know it was actually Hitler who first realized, that he can break the glass of the corner groceries, and noone cares, but if he fucks with Elon, Jeff, the IG Farben, the Krupp steelworks, or the Hugo Boss, then he will be in trouble. Ok, but paying taxes is a sooooo commie thing, but when it comes to actually spend those taxes Jeff and Elon misteriously appears, taking state sponsored (aka, the roofers, programmers, and delivery guys, in whom Jeff's spirit is giving you your books) Californian carbon incentives, NASA money, and who the hell knows what else just like Werner did in the good pioneering days. Or Ferdinand, jeez, they both have the hoax car , just this time its not the VW bug, but the Tesla Roadster, what actually costs more then what it is sold for. Because you know capitalist guys are actually lazy, and they don't hate as much state sponsorship as you do (they didn't have any problems with it in the concentration camps either. Ok, Oscar did, but he was a loser). Ok but they know something what nobody else knows, how to build rockets, except that a dozen or so companies knows how to build rockets in the USA, because they have a space program for nearly 60 years, but they were all closed out, in the name of bigger competition, because they are not Elon, or Jeff. And when Elon won the commie money then what does Jeff? Do he build his own rocket out of the wealth of a banana republic? Nope, he sues NASA, because they didn't let him close to the commie honeypot. And I still don't hate Elon or Jeff, because they just do what is rational and rob the people blind, and just use and idiotic system to their own benefit, but don't try to manufacture an ideology behind it (ok Elon does, but atleast not the capitalist hero tale).
14. Well, if you were so point on with that little Hayek quote, I will be so point on with some George Carlin quote. Why are we talking about McDonald's employees airline pilots and other losers, when we could talk about the most valuable commodity thatswhy the most rated by the community: America’s most profitable business – the manufacture, packaging, distribution, and marketing of bullshit. And thats so spot on, that there is basically no economic reality behind the most valued companies, their value is completely based on the fact that who is the better scammer. And we can all guess, that not Jeff's spirit will pay the price when the whole pile of shit implodes rather than the real postal guy. Ok, maybe it will be pushed down to the Ethiopian at the end, if the postal guy is lucky enough.
15. You know where I heard much about this subjective theory of value tale? In crypto forums, poor idiots tried to convince themselves, that their fantasy money actually worth something, when it was crystal clear, that it is a pyramid scheme, where the last guy who tries to sell his crypto will bear the burden of anyone's profit before them. They are quite desperate nowadays, since the market actually told them, that their crypto worth shit. Now we can argue, that how much a diamond worth, or how much a slice of bread worth, but with any kind of reasoning a share of a car manufacturer cant worth more than thousand times its annual revenue means literally that you have to wait a thousand years to even gain back your initial investment. Now we can argue that the paper in itself worth something, but in reality it worth exactly as much as a sheet of paper. You can gain on it I don't say you can't but in that case you will also play a pyramid scheme, where the last guy who owns the paper will loose. It is exactly like walking onto the Casino and put some number on roulette. Can you win with it? Sure you can, but if you stick long enough near the table, you will loose, thats a fact, because even if you put just red and black there isn't even a 50-50 chance, because of 0. Yes in a very theoretical level things don't have intrinsic value. In practical level all of us know, that what is the worth of an ounce of gold besides some random flucuations, and more or less foreseeable trends, something galactic has to happen to change that. And gold diamond and art stuff is a subjective commodity. If you buy a car yo can calculate how much you will use it, how much you have to service it, how much profit will it make for you per mile, calculate amortisation, and tell objectively, that is it worth or not. Some companies even do that for their car fleet. Nothing galactic has to happen to everybody realize that their bitcoin worth shit, and just move on. And the best way to actually assess a company's net worth is to look for their output and their revenue and compare it to their share prices, and then someone becomes from a greedy amateur to a conservative shareholder, who is actually interested in the company's success rather than to buy and sell papers randomly and try to get goddamnrich. But shall I ask, if the companies are conservatively evaluated based on their output, then why not a worker can be evaluated that way. Yes, if Tesla worth 1/2- of its value because they dont produce enough cars to be on its peak price, then why cant we say, that a Tesla worker, who actually manufactured that amount of cars worth that much of money. Ok, its capitalism they can have arguments about their salary, but on what right Elon can tell, that his workers cant talk to each other and organize a trade union, and talk about wages collectively. Does it change his position? Cant he just say no as easily to a single worker than a collective? What would motivate him to say no? Well in the borderline if his workers ask more then what he can ask for his car. Thats correct. Now he can also say no, if his workers asks more than when he asks for his car plus his profit, that is the case in your video, and I also would say that is correct. But the problem is that Elon doesn't want his workers to unionize, because he wants the price of his car, the profit margin he thought AND an extra which he could exploit by turning the workers against each other, and THAT money would count as exploitation. Besides OK, we have Elon, and Jeff, the great innovators and thinkers, who dreamed their companies, and they have the workers who have nothing to do with the cars made there, thats not even true because they are just marketing brands and in one case weren't even around when the company was founded. But shall I ask that what Elon junior, or Jeff junior put into the company more than a worker who actually work on the car? And what their children their great great grandchildren put more into the company more than a worker who actually builds the car?
16. Seriously after billions of government incentives, too big to fail bailout packages billions payed for employment which never asked back HE IS TAKING THE RISK? Again Elon just made 500 million to vanish in the upstate New York Solar City factory, which employed noone, and noone asked a question, but even the Delorean guy walked away after Maggie Thacher spend billions on him. And she called herself a free market supremacist, then how does a real commi work. And that virtually happens daily in every single country around the globe, because the free market economy and the whole responsible capitalist myth is just that, a myth. You can guess who is taking the risks. Again I could refer to Hitler and the VW bug, when it turned out, that it is unprofitable to manufacture was Ferdinand went bankrupt and roamed Berlin streets in despair? Nope he got his new government money for the Tiger tank, which wasn't even the best plan offered, because it was overcomplicated, but he was the favourite of Dolphie, so he won. Because its not the average grocery store guy capitalist hero is the one, who gets the government money, or bailout but the sharks with good connections. Thats the way it works. And if capitalism would work for a minute as you describe it this would never happen, but thats such an utopia as communism, which has nothing to do with human nature. Of course the government guy will admit that he spent half a billion on a laughing scammer, or the scammer will ask for his posessions to be seized, and he moves to work down the taxpayers money he owes.

Bocsásson meg Robert nagyra tartom önt, de hogyan tudott ekkora baromságot mondani. Remek dolog a nemzeti érzés, nemzeti szinten, de hogyan akar egy NATOt összetartani, ahol a magyar és a román legszívesebben átharapná egymás torkát, ha mégtovább erősítgetjük a nemzeti érzést szét fog esni az egész egymással háborúzgató Európai törpeállamokra. Le kell ülni az oroszokkal, komolyan kell venni őket és kidolgozni a kölcsönös egymás mellett élést, nincs más út. Az a baj a hülye jenkikkel, hogy nem értik az orosz népet, a sajtot is ki lehet énekelni a szájukból, ha megkapják a kellő tiszteletet, viszont simán felégetnék a világot, ha úgy érzik, hogy a legkisebb hülyeségen megszégyenülhetnek. Ügyes diplomáciával szinte bármit el lehet érni náluk.

Lol why would Ukraine give territories to Russia, which Russia wasnt even able to conquer? Dnyeper, Russia is on an average 500 miles from the Dnyper, and with this pace they will reach it by 2500 AD... No to speak somewhat realistically, Rusians even have to give up territory which they control now, Zaporozhia for sure. They dont control 10% of it, and Ukies need the powerplant there, so that is completely off the table. I would say Mariupol and Melitopol too should go back to Ukraine if they want to keep Crimea and the Donbas, which they dont even control half of it. I would say they can get a water rigth to the Crimea canal if they move out of Kherson, get Donetsk Lugansk and Crimea, pay reparations for any Ukrainian lost property there and GTFO from anywhere else otherwise we in Europe will try our luck of how long Russia can sustain its economy against us, especially if they make China their enemy. Does the United States willingly pay Putin's invasion, because he needs a backer.

I would say, that Hungary is closer to what it was when it signed up to NATO and EU, than the US and Germany is to what they were, when Hungary signed up for NATO and EU. As far as I remember back in 1998 Bill Clinton visited Beijing on a yearly basis, reassured them, that Hong Kong and Taiwan will be part of mainland China, the economic ties were flourishing, Gerhard Shroeder opened up the new Ostpolitik in Germany, when they started up their 8th natural gas pipelines to Russia, meanwhile NATO made joint excercises with Vlad the Impaler. I would say we are very skeptical that this great Russian detachment will not be temporary, since Europe needs more the Russian energy than Russians need European goods, as well, we are highly skeptical, that the US wont conclude a private trade deal with China, since Xi Jinping by no regards worse leader than Mao Zedong was, when the US started their smile offensive in China, so theres no point on burning up the bridges.

Lol man, your lib friends crapped so hardly on Ridley Scott's head, when he came out with Kingdom of Heaven, because he didnt make the europeans the goodguys, and the arabs the terrorists, and called it anti American in a movie which is literally about the Crusades 1000 years ago 500 years before their continent was even found by the Spanish. Not some random commenters but actual movie critics in the New York Times. There are entire youtube vids form the Washington Post after 911, of how will they rampage in the Middle East to teach a lesson for the enemies of Americe, yes, the Op Ed of the liberal stronghold did that. Then when they were asked out under Obama, how they didnt hold Bush accountable for his actions, they replied, that "they didnt feel it appropriate to go against the official policies of their country, since America is one big team". If you think they are thatmuch better than tankies then think again... Now they are searching for the good Russians, but I shall ask where were the good Americans in their wonderful free press? Western libs actually think that you are a traitor, which is useful for them in the current circumstances, if you would be an American and call out American BS at the time of need you would be supressed by the very same people who enable you now.

@cristiangaban960 What is this us Europeans? Speak in your own name. NOONE told you or your country not to go to Ukraine and fight the war, that was your, and your country's deliberate choice, which we accepted. Noone told your country not to impose sanctions on russia unilaterally. If you want the EU to do so, then you have to make a consensus between "us, Europeans". Yeah, I did not forgot that the SOVIETS, by the way mostly the THE UKRAINIANS ran tanks into the protestors 70 years ago, when "us Europeans" did nothing, so we adapted to the situation, and accepted geopolitical realities BTW the same geopolitical realities where "us, Europeans" stole 60% of Hungary, and still let the surrounding slavs run a discriminatory system against ethnic Hungarians LED by the Ukrainians, a country with the size of Poland and Germany combined, and more supressed ethnics than Europe combined, who constantly crying about imperialism for a country of the size of their capital. Currently we are with the west, but that doesnt apply any obligations towards Ukraine, and if you Europeans decide to get rid of Hungary, then of course Hungary will find a path where its territorial demands will be fullfilled, maybe with the help of the Russians. EU is an European peace framework first and foremost if "us Europeans" start to play with it, then there will be war.

I imagine that talk between von der Liar and Xi:
vdL: Mr President you must convince Putin to leave the Donetsk and Crimea immediately.
Xi: Ok then do you convince your american friends to leave Taiwan?
vdL: Well, no because Taiwan doesnt want to be Chinese
Xi: Does the Dontesk want to be Ukrainian?
vdL: It doesnt matter, we drawn the map.
Xi: You told us that Taiwan is part of China.
vdL: We have international laws, you dont understand? Taiwanese can choose not to be Chinese, Crimeans cant choose if they want to be Russians. Ahh Tony put it so nicely together, but I forget it. Never mind, USA wants it that way. Its international order!
Xi.: Lol thatswhy we want a new world order you know....
vdL: Ahh I remember Tony told me, that Ukraine is a fancy democracy, and China is a brutal dictatorship lead by a horrible tyrant.
Xi: Well Im leading China.
vdL: Oh sh.t wait a moment. But, but this war is unlawful, its international order!
Xi: Yeah I know that I was there when we voted on that in the UNSC, you werent.
vdL: You dont want war do you? Lots of people dying, horrible, just peace out. We need to humanists caring people!
Xi Why do you send weapons then?
vdL: Oh its different, you know Russians are orks they are not human. We have to kill them. An Asiatic horde.
Xi: We are asiatic...
vdL: Ohh sht I didn't mean it, I mean they send there their Asian ones not their white ones, you know the yellow pests.
Xi: Ursula please just stop for a moment and think it through.
vdL: Oh yeah thank you, wait a moment, I just read to you my secret memo from Tony: its Putin, he is a horrible tyrant we, the democrats have to stop him now to focus on Chin...
Xi: Ok bye bye.
vdL: We wont buy your gadgets you skunks, with the money we print.
Xi: Well we can print money too.
vdL: You cant even produce paper you barbarians.
Xi: We invented it...
vdL: You will be left out of our wonderful AI projects you losers.
Xi: Well next time send over your wonderful AI to bargain with maybe we can achieve some consensus...

They do. They even had two referendum about it one upheld by Ukraine itself. Donbas agreed to join Ukraine on the condition that they get autonomy, and Russian can be the official language, what ukes broke. Besides Russians actually care about Crimea and the Donbas, while Ukes just want to rob them. Crimea was the least developed region in Ukraine before BP found gas there, and guys in Kiev started to rub their fingers what beautiful palaces will they build out of the money siphoned out of Crimea. While uke troops are laughing in Dobas, that they will leave behind a pile of rubble to their so called fellow countrymen, half of the Russian army are combat engineers, whose main task is to restore heat electricity, and shelters for the liberated people. Russians conquered the landbridge, because Kiev closed down the water canal prior, so that Crimeans would die out of thirst. I guess I dont have to mention that you dont do this to people who you care about. @Amradar123

So lets see point by point where you are distorting the actual truth, or outright lying.
1. Hungary made it clear, that it wont support Ukraine's bid of accession since Ukraine adopted its minority laws back in 2017, well before any EU funds were blocked, so theres actually nothing new regarding to Orban's position.
2. Undue political interference of foreign parties is implemented, because the united opposition leader openly bragged in state television, how did he made an NGO to accept foreign money for his election campaign, which would be illegal even according to the oldest hungarian constitution, if it would be a party, so that was a greyzone transaction, which is now pushed to the clear blackzone. Thats not even overempahisizing something, Mr Zay literally told that.
3. Literally all of the EU leaders and Boris Johnson travelled to and shook hands with Putin since february 2022.
4. Theres no such thing that the "EU applying an unerected law not against one but three of its memberstates, namely Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary, because EU is not your british king, who could order your properties confiscated if he has the mood to do so, but a coalition of abovementioned countries, and without their approval there are no EU laws.And even that graindeal, what you are refering to stated that Ukrainian neighboring countries could be used as transit for ukrainian grain, there never was any EU law, which told, that Ukrainians actually sell their grain in EU turf, thats a hard fact
.5. As you dont know EU laws, and dont have the slightest idea about the jursidiction it is rather understandable, that you think Ukrainian language law is EU conform, because there is no clausule in EU laws about indigenous minorities, it is true, but where you miss the point, is that in the entire EU territory every single language which is present is considered an official language thatswhy theres no need to specify minority languages one by one because the Lisbon treaty automatically makes them official languages, so your assessment, that the Urkainian language laws are by any standard EU conform, are rather ignorantly ridiculous.
6. The changes what Urkaine made in these laws contrary of what you say does not affect every single secondary educational institutions but only privately owned secondary education institutions.
7. Changing a law which is in effect for 7 years, from which 3 was Zelensky's term two weeks before an actual decision of Ukraine's accession is rather a trick than a genuine action on Ukrainian side to unfreeze icecold relations, which is reinforced by the fact that Ukrainian foreign minister was crying in tha Guardian about it well before it even passed the parliament, so its another rather hostile action from Ukraine.
8. Hungary playing the badboy actually plays in the hands of the EU majority, because noone actually wants Zelensky in, he is too aggressive, but they dont want to look the badguys to veto it themselves. But that doesnt change the fact that one way or another Ukraine wont be an EU candidate while Zelensky reigns there.

So to get the context "Ukraine" is not one country but at least two. In the medieval times it was the battlegound between the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Russian Empire, with the Dnyeper, as the more or less stable border. So there is two population living there culturally, the polefied russians, and the russified poles. It goes up until this day, in Western ukraine people vote for a certain west leaning candidate, in Eastern Ukraine they vote for the Russia leaning candidate. Hell broke loose when the Western Ukrainians couped Janukovich, who was more or less a middleground man, and installed their puppet in his place. Crimea, which was actually occupied and forcefully incrporated multiple times snce 1991 and the Donbas openly revolted, where Kiev had to deploy its military there, which in response Russia sent military assistance to the rebels. Europeans and Russia worked out the Minsk accords according to Donbas becoming a demilitarized zone, where none of the interested parties should have weaponry. Then Trump sent lethal military assisntance to Ukraine, who in order to their new strenght started to redeploy into the Donbas, and shelled the positions of the rebels, to which in response Russia prepared its full scale invasion. Putin sent an ultimatum to NATO on which he demanded NATO to retreat behind its 1997 borders, most likely as a bargaining tactics to gain a no to Ukraine's NATO membership, which was rejected, then he recognized the Donbas and Luhansk republics as new entites and started the invasion. Russians captured the land corridor to Crimea thatshow securing its supply the Crimea canal which is the sole water supply to Crimea, and captured the outskirts of Kiev. They didnt attack the Donbas dierctly most likely because the bulk of the ukrainian armed forces were there at that moment.After the first thrust they sat into the diplomatic table in Istanbul, where in exchange of the recognition of the breakaway republics they retreat out of the Kiev region, which was agreed by Zelensky, later cancelled when Boris Johnson made the case that NATO will support Ukraine in their effort to retake their lands. Since the original invasion forces were inadequate in numbers for the occupation of the land they gained in the first days of the war, Ukrainians could utilize their higher troop numbers and reconquered Khrakiv and Kherson, where the Russian troops made a strategic withdrawal behind the Dnyeper, securing a great victory. The Russians then changed doctrine and built up a defensive line along the entire frontline while focusing their thrust into the Donbas, mobilizing and redeploying multiple units into the Ukraine theater. Since Urkaine's war effort requires a constant victory streak in order to justify the effort ot Ukraine's backers they had to pull off a direct attack against the defensive line, in Zaporozhia. The problem was not only Russians knew where the attack will happen, but they could camouflage their real positions while digging false positions to show weakness, and trap the Urkainian thrust in multiple firepockets. As the counteroffensive failed, general Zaluzhny realized, that Ukraine dont have the military resources to recapture the Donbas or the Crimean land corridor, so he was removed and replaced by gerneral Syrsky, who is willing to continue the fight.

Melyik kormánytól független? Valamelyik kormánytól mindegyik függ, akikre te gondolsz, azok vagy az amerikai vagy a német kormányoktól függenek. És a világon még senki nem látott olyan újságot, ami azt mondta volna, hogy a pénzeszsákjai beleszólnak a működésébe, ezt mondja a 444-től a Magyar Nemzetig mindenki, dehát mégiscsak az van hogy CIA-s röpiratokat hoznak a fiúkák, meg követelik, hogy bőnyállal lefetyeljük nagytestvér valagát, ilyen szankciós csomag olyan NATO állásfoglalás, bármi amit még véletlenül se lehet magyar érdekként beállítani. Fel lehet állítani erre mindenféle nyakatekert elméleteket, hogy miért van ez így, dehát Occam borotvája szerint ez azért van így, mert a CIA-től kapják a fizetést, és aki már dolgozott munkahelyen, az tudja, hogy a főnök szava szentírás. No persze azért fizetnek, mert tetszik nekik, Pressman már Washingtonban is minden reggel a Jólvanezíggyel kelt és feküdt, ki kit néz itt hülyének. @4r14m

@Ember-vee The problem with batteries is that since we use them in EV-s, and demand is in the sky, currently they are extremely expensive to use them as simple energy storage devices. A ton of people, who built their offgrid home based on battery storage are outcrying that they can't replace their batteries economically anymore. Otherwise it is an excellent idea, solar produces DC with extremely varying voltages, what would make it useless for a regular electric consumer, but batteries are not as picky about their voltage requirements, and can accept DC with a little regulation, so in paper those would make an excellent cost reduction in a small scale solar installation. The real huge cost of a solar installation is the inverter, it is a really complex machinery which makes the solar DC to grid AC, on exactly adjusted frequency, and in my country you even have to provide 3 phase above 5 kW installed capacity, so we are basically handled as any powerplant connected to the grid, and thats expensive.

@ackwebde Well, Gustve Prien in his good days went in into Scapa Flow, and sank 3 battleships there. Does that lucky shot made the British navy not to send out its fleet? We all know, that Russians aren't really afraid of the Ukries, why would they, they literally have nothing in the sea to counter them. Also HARM wont help out Ukraine too much, their target aquisition radars aren't even in Ukraine, and their AA batteries are operating on networked mode, so they can't be spotted just when they fire. I would still remind anyone, but this time its not NATO fighting some Serbs with limited AA capacities, its Russia, which actually have more AA capacities, than NATO itself. Plus a 1000 airplane. So 190 S-300 battery 400 BUK battery and a few thousand manpad and 1000 airplane can't stop 300 F16, lets be a little bit skeptical about that.

Lol dear look at the map. Macedonia conquering Persia is like today Delaware would conquer the United States. We only dont say its impossible because Alexander did it, but Philip most likely would just accepted the first peace proposal what Darius offered him, he wouldnt go to Bactria and India. And that would be a sound strategic decision. Alexander constantly found himself outnumbered, fighting against impossible targets like Tyre on places where locals had a profound advantage over his army, and still managed to come out victorious, mainly because he never let his enemies to regroup and dig in, he moved his army lightning fast over impossible terrain in a constant chase. He didnt only win his battles in the battlefield, he won them by his incredible sense for logistics and personal courage. In Sogdia, they almost got him with his army near the Oxus, his throat was cut wide open, yet he organized a counterattack during the night and managed to beat the Sogdians who were completely unprepared. At that point his army wasnt even Macedonian, he managed to train up the Persians to Macedonian military standards, while he was moving through the deserts of Central Asia.

@Kalimdor199Menegroth Well then tell me please, where were you before 1918. You know, that we hungarians don't play your little slavic games, and not naming cities to create history for ourselves. We call even Visegrad Visegrad, even if its a slavic name without any menaing in hungarian and don't invent that it was GREATHungarianVille. We called Ragusa, Ragusa, and didn't tried to name it to Dubrovnik, Fiume we called and not Rijeka, and the list of bullshit is endless. So if you were an existing population in Erdély, then where are your towns, because we didn't rename them. There are german townnames, there are hungarian town names, and not a single walachian town name. Please spare the we were hiding in the mountains for 1000 years and eating treebark for naive eyed westerners. If you would be present in transylvania, you would have a history there.

So what, Saudis chopped down the head of Khasoggi, and you still buy oil from them. This oh putin is a warcriminal so we shouldnt buy gas from him is not even naive but outright a liar attitude we all know, that you are false moralizing. Quod est necessarium est licitum. If it gives us the edge why we wouldnt buy gas from them? Even if Europe would be in a war with Russia and would gain more on buying Russian gas than Russians would gain on selling it logic dictates that europe should buy Russian gas, because it gives more power to Europe than it gives to Russia. Americans knew it, they bought all of their titanium from the Soviet Union to build military jets against them, noone criticized that move, because it was extremely logical. You like to show yourself as pragamtic centrists, meanwhile you behave as ideologic leftists. BTW if you want to go into this whole gas thing then shall I ask how it is possible legally, that countries in the European common market are asking transit fees from eachother, well above the costs of gas transport. Its not only that that American LNG is more expensive, because it fluctuates, what is not fluctuating is the profiteering of the Poles and Croats on their gas transport from their harbors to the heartland of Europe. I think its a hidden tarriff which should actually be illegal inside the EC. To think about it maybe we should bring Croatia and Poland to the Grand Jury of the european Union for contract breaching, I mail the case to them.

Can you show me that on which part of the EU agreements Slovakia or Hungary signed anything regarding the Russian federation or gay marriage, because if you can point us to it, you can show where the membership agreement was breached. But I have even a better idea, if you are so fond of the Lisbon treaty, I can point out which points Latvians and Estonians are breachin everyday by how they handle their minorities, while your beloved EU does nothing about it. Do you think that by raising the rainbow flag you solved everything? The world around us is a little bit more complex than that. Regaring to the news questions when Sholtz have to answer the same question regarding to sending the Taurus to Ukraine, every single day, it becomes tedious and counterproductive. Germany had the discussion, the polls showed that its not supported, the democratically elected chancellor made the decision, so I really dont know why DW thinks they can turn it around by aggressively pushing their agenda, because they think it otherwise. @Joey-ct8bm

Theres no way Ukraine can win this. Their domestic shell production is 15000 per year, US+Europe's shell production is 2.5 million per year, Russia+North Korea's shell production is 5 million per year. They are rolling out 800 tanks every single year, while Rheinmetall produces 100 per year, they have an air advantage of 10:1 even if all F-16s will arrive, shot 15.000 cruise missiles, which would take the US 15 years to manufacture. They managed to convert 50.000 dumb glidebombs into smartbombs, which are pounding static positions. They have a 1.5 million strong standing army, which they didnt even scratched, using 40-50.000 strong tactical units on individual frontlines, all the other people, potentially 1 million can have a year long training, while Ukrainians even if they get the 400.000 recruits they have to send them in basically untrained. The only thing what this 60 billion is enough is to buy them a half year, maybe one under very optimistic circumstances, and these are all capacity problems, not money problems, simply we dont have the skilled workforce to fill these gaps in such a short notice, no matter how many money we are throwing at the problem. This is just basic math without any morals, but noone can win against it. I know the truth is on Ukraine's side, but the math is on Russia's side, a lot of these people will die for nothing. They have to go to Putin and beg for peace.

I looked up the data. So if my research doesnt cheat me, you poles have: 0 spy satellites on orbit, 0 GPS capable staellites on orbit, 0 military grade telecommunication satellites on orbit. Yet you boost about the "intelligence" you gather. You couldnt even use the equipment you have for a minute without American or European satellite systems backing them up. Literally you cant use your HIMARS, your F35's nothing without them. At least the French have some Telstar birdies, and the EU has Galileo up, I dont say its enough, but thats at least something. Depending on americans doesnt mean, what you think it means. Depending on Americans mean, that you need not just their satellite system, their worldwide intelligence gathering system, my bad news is, that you need their airlifting capability as well, because none of your theoretical alliance have enough cargo planes to make a rapid response in case one of them attacked.

Soviets dragged their feet on the N1, because there was literally no usecase for it except going to the Moon, and they didnt like the pricetag for the rocket for that stunt alone. It was different to propose a space program on a converted ICBM, which was useful to them otherwise, and to propose to spend a crpton of money on a rocket which they only can use for publicity stunts. Soviet rocket engineers had to be somewhat of snake oil salesmen to convince the leadership to get funding for their ideas from the getgo, they always had to find a military necessity for their projects and adverize it as a solution, to sometimes nonexistent needs. For example Chelomei marketed the proton booster as the only rocket which can lift the tzar, which he knew is an insane idea to begin with, but he wanted a heavy lifter for the space program and he knew thats the only way he will get the money. The other reason was that Glushko, the engine designer was really into hypergolic fuels back at the day, because for those he could build bigger engines, while Korolev wanted a kerosene rocket, because he was afraid about what happens with such a big hypergolic rocket. The third reason was that Khruschev was ousted, and his successor wasnt that interested into the space race/ a lot of the rocket engineers were made into Khruschevs inner circle to push their agenda, so they became a little bit less favored later.

Well, the main drawback what the Soviets faced back in the time, and even Elon Musk faces today is combustion instability, so with rockets with big ignition chambers like the F1 its impossible to engineer such a geometry that the fuel and the oxidizer mixes totally, which leads to fuel and oxidizer in the outtake, which in turn will damage the engine in flight. The solution for NASA was literally trial and error, they put every single F1 into testpads, and tinkered with the injectors up until the point where combustion instability disappeared, but that made the F1 literally handcrafted, not massproduced, and incredibly expensive. On the other hand with hypergolics they didnt have such problems, they could have a combustion chamber pretty much as they wanted and the fuel still ignited perfectly all by itself. However hypergolic fuel is highly corrosive, to the point that its even questionable it wouldnt have eaten the rocket on a few days journey.

@jameshill4900 Here are the exact text from NSarchive:
The conversations before Kohl’s assurance involved explicit discussion of NATO expansion, the Central and East European countries, and how to convince the Soviets to accept unification. For example, on February 6, 1990, when Genscher met with British Foreign Minister Douglas Hurd, the British record showed Genscher saying, “The Russians must have some assurance that if, for example, the Polish Government left the Warsaw Pact one day, they would not join NATO the next.” (See Document 2)
Having met with Genscher on his way into discussions with the Soviets, Baker repeated exactly the Genscher formulation in his meeting with Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze on February 9, 1990, (see Document 4); and even more importantly, face to face with Gorbachev.
Not once, but three times, Baker tried out the “not one inch eastward” formula with Gorbachev in the February 9, 1990, meeting. He agreed with Gorbachev’s statement in response to the assurances that “NATO expansion is unacceptable.” Baker assured Gorbachev that “neither the President nor I intend to extract any unilateral advantages from the processes that are taking place,” and that the Americans understood that “not only for the Soviet Union but for other European countries as well it is important to have guarantees that if the United States keeps its presence in Germany within the framework of NATO, not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction.” (See Document 6)
Afterwards, Baker wrote to Helmut Kohl who would meet with the Soviet leader on the next day, with much of the very same language. Baker reported: “And then I put the following question to him [Gorbachev]. Would you prefer to see a united Germany outside of NATO, independent and with no U.S. forces or would you prefer a unified Germany to be tied to NATO, with assurances that NATO’s jurisdiction would not shift one inch eastward from its present position? He answered that the Soviet leadership was giving real thought to all such options [….] He then added, ‘Certainly any extension of the zone of NATO would be unacceptable.’” Baker added in parentheses, for Kohl’s benefit, “By implication, NATO in its current zone might be acceptable.” (See Document 8)

I really cant get a spot on how your censorship works DW. You usually let people cheering over killing, or being wildly racist, while keep deleting pretty civilized comments, regarding to some industrial sabotage which we all know who done. No, it wasnt Zelensky and the Seven Samurai, we dont buy into it, they had better things to do than diving in the Baltics, where there is a battleship in every square miles watching what your divers are doing. It was those guys who talked about the hunk of metal in the bottom of the sea. So my advice is either let free speech to blossom in your platforms which I would absolutely support, or censor out everyone who objectively breaking platform rules, but do not become an Russian/American/Hasbara safespace, because that would look like you are siding with pretty bad people.

I lost it at the point where you got the 17.000 Ukie KIA credible, with the usual BS that Russians are on the offensive. You were on the offensive in Iraq does that mean that you had 100.000 KIA, while the Saddam troops had 1000, because they were on the defensive? This simply doesnt work the way you portray it. Russians used 150.000 strong army for their initial assault, thatwhy ukies had a chance to make their thunderruns in Kherson with their 500.000 strong army. Which was BTW another offensive, and another bloodshed. So you tell that a 1:3 KIA to wounded ratio applies, that means, that Russians actually up to 150.000-100.000 KIA =50.000 remaining russians +300.000 injured Ghost soldiers coming from somewhere math, who miraculously materialised on the frontlines to get injured, because they were there even before the first mobilization round in Russia to get injured. How should we interpret that you think Russians lost 100.000 men by just making on offense on a single city, meanwhile Ukies have 10.000 KIA by conquering according to them 1000 km2, in conditions, when air superiority is with the russians, artillery superiority is with the russians, tank superiority is with the russians? You really buy into that with 3 operating HIMARS batterries at any given time you can actually counter 900 russian heavy artillery batterries? Even if every single shot of them is a bullseye, thats a 1to300 kill ratio, and your artillery systems are not THAT superior. We all know the only way to do it is to push great human waves, and try to overwhelm Russian defenses by sheer numbers, which has a catastrophic kill ratio to the attacking side, because in this case the defence actually has the ammo to wreak havoc on their lines. Classic soviet style strategy straight out of Zhukov's playbook, employed by both sides.

Lol its not that easy to breach NPT as some would expect. First of all, not a single state would ship uranium anymore, the moment IAEA inspectors arent let to check every suspicious site, so Poland would need an own domestic uranium mine. Then they would need the enrichment facilities just to run the reactors. From that point on the situation is quite easy, but the results are basically useless, if a first strike can render the capability moot, so there would be a need for submarines, and excessive miniaturisation in order that the endproduct is not that big that a rocket cant handle it. Oh yeah,a rocket program needed as well plus more enrichment facilities to make a reactor small enough to fit into the subs, precision engineering, sot that it will be silent enough so the russians dont find it. I would say 20 years if noone helps, while something with any actual combat value can be aquired.

Well, if the Soviet army did not liberate Germany, that would mean, that all the Germans were nazis, and their least problem would be the wristwatches stolen from them. The Soviet army was quite gracious compared to what pillage did the Germans made in the Soviet union, thats a basic fact, they didnt ordered mass shootings for the 40 million killed, that would be a revenge, not stealing a wristwatch. Make no mistake, americans also collected war memorabilia, and raped women, the sole reason, why they werent taking German industry is because Hitler didnt stole it from them on the firstplace. There is this strange line which west german propaganda tries to draw between a day before and a day after the war, that a day before the war it was totally ok to use slave labor, to move industries from occupied regions, and to seize very single chip of gold for the reich, a day after the war it is completely unacceptable to get those things back. Reality is, both German states were handled with velvet gloves after the war, compared to what evil did they commit against humanity.

When will you accept that Europe is not a great power, and not in the position to make such hardline stance on any great powers? This is not the 19th century, we have no colonies, Britain have 5 military ships, we have no resources an aging population and a technological backlog, yet all of you guys speak as if Europe would rule the world... Europe cant negotiate with Russia from the position of strength, because Europe has no strength, we KIAd 600.000 of their people, so they arent particularly fond of us, its even a tough nut to crack for Trump. Did you really think that we just move in tell Putin to stop when he is winning, and he will stand down because of reasons, when they endured the brunt of it for 3 years? Someone has to have the ability to sit down with them face to face, and Orban has it. Another country could have it, if they wouldnt all put up the Ukrainian flags, and supplied the Russian campaign, now we have no other choice than him. Truth is we screwed it up royally, broke a multitude of promises towards Russia, broke 3 agreements with them, talked them down, then tried to break up their country, theres absolutely no reason for them to trust us, and Hungary can guarantee Russia or Ukraine nothing, so from this point its already pretty dire.

Some people dont understand what is this ovewhelming western support for Ukraine. It isnt about geopolitics, or values at all. Westerners generally sit in their gray little lives, where in every single day a coporate overlord steals one of their rights, have their austerities in every 5 years, they are declining, they dont have children or future, rents are going up, workplaces move out of China, they cant even win wars against Afghanistan, and play games if their shtty poltitcians or a lettuce would survive longer. And suddenly they see a country, where people willingfully die to be like westerners, and that adds back something to their egos, the belief, that they live in an utopia. They know, they dont, but at least they think they seen from the outside as these superior kind of men living in a superior system. Thats the reason.

Döntetleeen? Harris mindjárt megfordítja Texast, a republikánusok legnagyobb tűzfészke a demokratákra készül szavazni. Ekkora verést a republikánusok kétszáz éve nem kaptak, mint ami kinéz. A Fox News elkapcsolt Trump telefonos nyavalygásáról, hogy inkább a DNC-t közvetítsék, Nicki Haley napi szinten jár már be nyavajogni oda, hogy valami közpolitikával kéne megfogni Harrist, mert a sima prosztóskodást már nem eszi meg a nép. Tegnap a hálátlan zsidózás ment a tévében, hogy miértnem szavaznak rá, azokután, amit értük tett, úgyhogy sikrült még az antiszemitizmust is kipipálnia a listán. Kongó termekben szónokol a faszi, két értelmes mondatot nem tud már megfogalmazni, az egész liberális sajtó rajta röhög, már nemis gyalázzák hanem egy az egyben lejáttszák, amit mondd, mert annyira se füle se farka az egész mondandójának,az alelnökjelöltje Vance konkrétan elmenekült Sprigfieldből, a saját választókörzetéből a macskás kaland után, Trump visszamonda North Carolinát, ahol épp a kormányzójelöltjéről derült ki, hogy feketeként azon sírt, miért nem csatlakozhat a Ku Klux Klánhoz, helyette elment New yorkba kampányolni, kb mintha Harris kampányolna Alabamában.

It sounds to me, that you spend 50 billion at the Koreans, and they give back a 5 billion investment in return. Now thats what I call good business. You can call the Germans and French as you like, but they atleast didnt want to rip you off like that. How many EU grants did South Kore gave to Poland, to make that economic boom? How many poles are working in South Korea? Yeah the Germans open up an Intel chip manufacturing plant, where potentially a lots of Europeans will work, meanwhile if South Korea builds a chip manufacturing plant no pole will work in it. Because in reality its not the Germans who are your enemies and peer competitor country, they are part of the common market, and shared economy, but South Korea. You in Poland do EXACTLY, what you accuse other European nations are doing, making friends outside the block in the expense of the european interests, because you know better. But if you dont trust the EU, fine by me, then you should have your referendum, and quit the European market, as the Brits did.Oh BTW dreaming about the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth is no less imperialistic, than dreaming about tzarist Russia, and an intervention in Belarus should be a NATO decision, not a Polish-Ukrainian land grabbing campaign, because those lands were part of the empire 1000 years ago, and now you have the opportunity to take them back under the guise of denazifying a foreign country.

Miaz, hogy nem tudjátok ki ő? Ott ültetek vele egy pártban 15 évig, nekem ne mondjátok, hogy nem tudjátok ki Magyar Péter, ex igazságügyminiszteretek férje, kommunikációért felelős miniszteretek legjobb barátja, rólad kedves Zoltán sokkal kevésbé tudja a Fidesz, hogy kivagy, mint Magyar Péterről. Ábrahám Róbert legalább korrektül megmondta, hogy ő a ti gyermeketek, és ezzel, valamit a fideszbe beépült opportunistákkal szembe kell nézni. Adok egy ingyen tippet Habonynak, mert látni hogy ez neked látványosan nem megy, mondjátok azt, hogy pontosan tudtátok, hogy ki ő azért dobtátok ki, mert már a Fideszben is vállalhatatlanul viselkedett.

I dont know why you think, that because someone is brown and happens to be an immigrant, that he cant be wildly racist, or feels any solidarity with people of color. We have Suella Braverman in Britain, who has immigrant roots, and is the worst amongst all the farright crooks. They use these people to confuse and placate any democrat. I dont say it is a certain trait amongst certain ethnicities, although I definitely could say, that an average Indian certainly doesnt think about himself as black and thats not even a negative thing, they think exactly like white folks, there are liberals amongst them like Sunak, and there are wildly racist paople among them like Braverman, but whomever chose that path will find a golden opportunity to be a hired sycophant of the right.

Lol Leo2A4-s are so crappy, the Germans firesaled them in the 90's. They got a T90 from the Chechen insurgents, its standard armor piercing round penetrated the Leo frontal quadrant from 1500 m right away. You know the place, where it is supposedly the strongest. T90 is lighter, faster, much better protected, accelerates better and overall not even in the same league. Every military's best interest is just to get rid of those obsolete junks, and focus on real state of the art tanks. The only tank what Ukraine receives, and has some tactical value are actually the 10 or so Challenger, the 10 Leo A6, and the T72.

Well, if you would have a ton of slovaks living outside of your borders, prone to confiscations and deportations like the Benes decrees, you would see it as unfair I guess. You should really abolish that law, because it leads to tensions, and doesn't even fit your interests anymore. There are a ton of newcomer slovaks without Hungarian citizenship living in western Hungary now, working in Pressau, or Austria, and well, if we technically would apply the Benes decrees to them, they could be sent back to Slovakia and have their properties confiscated without any kind of reparations, and noone could do anything about it, as the EU accepts it as legal basis between the two countries.

No dear, the true story is, that Latvians asked the help of the boyars to chase out their german elite during the 19th century, who in return stayed there, thatshow they became part of the Russian empire. They switched sides, perfectly OK, but it wasnt Stalin who brought Russians there, and they are there since a few hundred years. And its never a good solution to fck off with an ethnic or religious minority, didnt you learn from the North Ireland things, especially if the ethnic minority's bigbrother is a goddamn nuclear superpower? Latvians are indeed endangering the entire European safety with their moves, on very dubious moral grounds, so they provoke out a war, then what should we do? Die so that they can eradicate their russians? Not too convincing, I dont think anyone can sell such a war to his country's general populace. I would highly recommend for the Latvians, if they are afraid of Russia, then be as clean as the snow morally, because then there wont be excellent excuses for us not to protect them.

Some of the people objectively dont understand why Elon Musk and his company actually harmed the combat against climate change. So lets start with the obvious, 60% of all CO2 emissions are coming from public heating. To combat climate change passive houses, net zero heating systems, and better insulation are the absolutely the 0th step. Meanwhile Musk derailed the whole topic towards road transport, which contributes to less than 10% of the overall GHG emissions. Today we are at a point, where governments give tens of thousands of dollars as tax incentives for very rich men to buy electric cars and show off, while they threaten ordinary folks that they will ban their gas heating, who in turn become climate sceptics, because they dont intend to freeze during the winter. This whole topic became a secondary agenda of car manufacturing states who want to get ahead eachother, thatswhy spending billions to build EV infrastructure from taxpayer's money, meanwhile totally abandoning any house renovation projects. Considering that he actually declared war on the most environmentally friendly way of road transport, railways. His cars will never be as efficient and climate friendly as a train is, let it be a passenger train or a cargo train, yet he wanted to crack down on both with Hyperloop and Tesla Semi respectively. By diverting funds towards the EV industry, the charger points and everything which should be solved from his fortune, or from his customer's wallet, instead of government money he is actually draining resources from existing and newly built rail projects, like the San Francisco highspeed rail, but even the ordinary rail infrastructure is in shambles, there are train accidents in the US every single year like East Palestine, entire bridges collapse, there should government money go not to these phantasmagories. I absolutely appreciate early adopters, but its not the duty of the general public to foot the bill of their hobbies. His other project, SpaceX makes even less sense. If we cant solve the climate crysis on Earth how the hell will we ever colonize such a hostile planet as Mars? Nohow. Even if it would be done like ever, it would be a ticket for the superrich to get away from the problems they caused, I again dont see why the community should give funds to such enterprises, superrich are superrich, they should finance their escape plans. And whoever lets this guy to put a chip into his head is certified insane.

So if Romanians capture Transylvania, with western troops its as things should be done, if Hungarians go there by not even firing a bullet by a peaceful resolution,its aggressive expansion. When the Czechs treat their Slovaks as second class citizens, its the natural state of things, which should be accepted, when Slovakia granted its own state, its a nazi occupation. I guess your brain is washed out by those bolshies too. Not to mention that all those lands which Hungary cruelly stole form Czechoslovakia is by some strange reasons not in Slovakia, but present day Ukraine, where the Rusins live, whom you refer to, which ethnic group only the Hungarians recognized like ever, neither the Czechslovaks did, nor the Soviets, neither the Ukrainians. Talking about how those wonderful nations treat their minorities. Not that caring about minorities wouldnt be considered as a Russian sympathy nowadays in the enlightened west. The wonderful part of slavic doublethinking, is the crying when they are minorities, yet starting an agressive Ukrainization, Romainization, Slovakization, whenever they get into power.

Lol, none of you actually mentions any cathegorical rule which Hungary does not obey. I can tell you exactly which rules Spain, the Baltics, Germany, Denmark, the Netherland France or Greece does not obey. Remember, when the prime minister of Catalonia was arrested in Brussels for separatism? Remember when the Estonian prime minister declared ithat they will sleep better, when their russian minority is terminated? Remember, when Germans payed extra money for their firms to be more competitive against trading block partners? Remember that Denmark does not oblige the general fishing route subsidies of the EU and gives a damn about it? Remember that the Netherlands exports twice as much milk products, that their quota in the EU would let them to? Remember, that there are literally no ethnic minorities allowed to express themselves in France or Greece? Every single country is breaking EU rules, every one of them.

Nemtudom, őszintén mi közünk hozzá, ez az egyház dolga. Jó, hogy erről videót csináltok mert nemúgy tűnik mintha sunnyognátok, de ezt tényleg csak a nagyon kretének tudják a politikára tolni. És nem, nem kezelték jól, ez a fickó nemcsak az LMBTQ-t támadta, hanem úgy en bloc a homokosokat, Bábelnek már akkor ki kellett volna rúgnia. Most úgy tűnik, hogy az egyháznak semmi gondja nincs ha gyalázod a homokosokat, csak azzal, ha homokos vagy. Nem nem tehetik meg, ugyanúgy ahogy a Tesco sem rúghat ki valakit azért mert homár, azért álljon már meg a nászmenet, rájuk is ugyanazok a törvények vonatkoznak mint mindenki másra. Ha nem lépünk a tökükre, és szabjuk meg a határt, akkor nálunk is elkezdik betiltogatni a Brian életét, mert az az ő keresztény közösségüket zavarja. Küldjék el a Vatikánba könyvtárosnak, vagy mittudomén, leginkább gondolkodjanak előre, de ha a fickó rájukindul egy munkaügyi perrel most, azt lazán megnyeri.

Woukd you be suprised if I tell you, that Russia is the only country in Europe which ever respected Hungarian national sovereingty? The Germans occupied Hungary, the British and the French drew maps where Hungary wasnt even presented. Yes, Hungarians have second thoughts about these nations, thatswhy a European NATO is absolutely off the table. We are in as long as the Americans are in, we trust them, we dont trust the British the French and the Germans. About the Ukrainians, everybody knows their minority laws are a bad joke, even the Poles are furious because of it. Orban told Ukrainians as long as they dont change it they wont be EU members and he is sticking to his words. Maybe if Zelensky wouldnt be such a self absorbed jrk, he could have solved this situation in his 7 years presidency. Orban has the power to derail Ukrainian EU membership, so it would be wise not to make him an enemy, as Ukrainian leadership is desperate to do, you guys will realize, that you will achieve nothing by trying to outsmart everyone.

The problem is that you dont understand what capitalism is. I will help you out, it has to do something with capital. So if that capital is pushed to the economy by the state, well, that is what you could call socialism. If private capital would be effective you wouldnt talk about taxes need to be pushed into some project, which is in other words capital gained and redistributed by the state. That point in essence proves that private capital was in this case less effective than state capital. Cold logic. But it could be derived essentially why private capital is desired by some political groups, it has nothing to do with efficiency, or progress. Has to do more, that democratic political systems are by definition can be held accountable, while private enterprizes dont. If a politician gives the control of basic utilities to his son, that is called nepotism. If the same basic utility is given by a capitalist to his son, thats a private business. If a public owned company creates debt, its a scandal, if a private owned company creates debt, it is a private business, if it goes into bankrupcy it can be bailed out to save some workplaces. If a plotical group makes a disinformation campaign to further their interest, it is lying, if it is done by a petrol company, thats an understandable commercial. If NASA blows up a single rocket from taxpayers money, its incompetence, if Musk blows up 10 rockets from government money, its learning on the fly. By privatizing companies the political class is giving away its basic responsibilities to people, who can do as they pleased to do without any responsibility to the public. They dont even risk their capital anymore, because they are fed by a bizarre welfare system, which supports the rich.

Well, the US can get away with money creation, because Saudis, Europeans, Japanese, Koreans, and even the Chinese are all financing it. Thats not a normal economic process forever, it is the case since the Bretton woods system was replaced in the 70s with petrodollar. From that on US puts its deficit on foreign nations, who are paying the debt for having a stable world system. The problem is the US thinks it can go to isolationism. Well, it can, but then foreign investment would dry up, everyone would only accept a money backed by raw materials or manufactured products and not dollars. @Rägarded

You think too much about democracies. Well I can tell you what happened in WWII. Sure France and Britain declared war on Germany, then... they did nothing. They didnt send a rusted wheel into Poland, Denmark, the Netherlands Belgium or Norway, they dwelled in France, and as soon as it wasnt that victory parade as they expected, the Brits swam across the channel, and left even the French alone. The sole reason why the british tried to fight with them is because they didnt want the French fleet end up in German hands, because that could challenge the Royal Navy. America had no intention to join the war whatsoever, if the Japs didnt attack them in Pearl Harbor, they would reamin completely out of it. The lesson is as long as it does not threaten your own country, its not that important. Expecting these big European holy crusades against Russia is delusional, they didnt even work thatway, when they actually did crusades. Ok Richard the Lionheart was ordered to the Holy lands by the pope, but all what he did there was scheming with Salladdin, so he can get back to England as soon as possible.

Arra az esetre gondolsz, ami után a Telex meg a 444 tetemre hívta Marcikát vértől csepegő fogakkal és gumibotot suhogtatva a kézben kérdezgették detektívlámpával a szemébe vakuzva az ablak nélküli kihallgatóhelyiségben, hogy hogy merészelt ilyet kérdezni a mi Zacsinktól, kitéve a felvételeket a törzsközönségnek okulásul? Ne aggódj a kis kommunista úgy megtanulta a leckét, hogy egyből harmincszor behívta Tölgyessyt düdörögni a műsorba és lecserélte a bannert kékcsillagosra, vette az üzenetet, hogy szabad médiában azt lehet kérdezni, amit szabad. De az elvtársak szerencsére megbocsátottak, azóta elküldték Marxit ideológiai továbbképzésre Amerikába, és most már célszerűen pozitív attitűd jellemzi a legújabb messiásprojektekkel kapcsolatban, egyenesen tőle indítják el.

We are chill near our ownb border, and dont care about the Baltics. That was another George Bush idea to invite them into NATO, not ours. They are on a basic level undefendable, from soutwest lies Russia East lies Belarus North lies Russia, and west lies the Baltic sea. They have a 50 miles wide opening towards Poland, which will be cut in the first hour of the war, the the entire Baltics will be a giant cauldron for any troops sent there. Sending there a tripwire force, which can be evacuated makes sense, and later counterattack operation from Poland, but they want the entire european army there. Meanwhile none of the European wars break out next to them, and the nextone will be most likely in the Balkans so its an entire waste of resources. Cheers buddy.

I can tell you what happened actually. After the last defeat liberal newspapers and poll surveyors found their viewership tanking. They put up articles which literally were read by 10 people. So to save their jobs, they jumped to Magyar and building this false narrative of hope to push up their viewership again. They regularly apply self censorship when it comes to Magyar's wrongdoings and fired multiple journalists who dared to criticize him. They basically know that they have 2 years left, so they invent every kind of BS to keep their jobs a little bit longer. yes they are getting back the support of their opposition audience, but at the cost, that tehy wont be trusted anymore, when their schemes will come into light. Not to mention the word liberal is a general insult in politics, they are hated from the left because they tried to make American style healthcare, on the right because of the usual cultre issue, so these papers dont have any kind of social backing, they are just existing trying to sell, that they represent the truth.

Not anything against exports, but I actually sympathise with Ford's idea, that he built cars for his workers, exports were the plus. Yeah thats whats missing from the western enterpreneurship, every greedy bastard wants to sell horribly expensive sht to the uberwealthy, instead of producing things for the average joe, thats done by the Chinese, and look who has their industry in the sky. The orgininal Mini was a dirt cheap urban cruiser, and everybody loved it for that, 1 billion Indian want their hands on that car, so the company decided to make a facelift on it and made a big ugly allterrain nightmare out of it, with a ripoff pricetag, thatswhy Europe doesnt have industry.

As far as I know all european nations are aryan, which means maybe except the Gaels, all of them came from Asia. Thats one thing, the other is that herodotus talks about Scythinas dwelling in the Pannonian plain, and guess who the scythians are alike, with their horse archery, and nomadic culture? Well, they were not slav invaders, thats for sure. The only provable Scythian nation the Jasz people are living in present day Hungary, before the Romanians invaded and comitted a genocide, they lived in Romania as well, thatshwere the name of the eastern Romanian regional hub Iasi comes from.

Churchill at the time was an utterly failed politician and a populist. He made the Gallipoli catastrophe when he was the first lord of admiralty, it took the british 10 years to forget that and when he climbed back he was appointed as financial minister... in 1929 and in one month time the world economy collapsed, and he was the man in Britain to blame. Noone even him would ever imagine, that he will ever have a political future after those blunders, and his last chance was to become a warmonger and push for a war, and he took it. Not that taking part in WWII was a bad idea, but even if it would Churchill would go for that, because that was the key of his political survival. He was so unpopular, that he was ousted at the first time, when an election happened, so in practice he wasn't an elected leader during the war.

@dondajulah4168 Sure, but atleast the locals profit some from it, and it is not robbed entirely from them in the name of some colonial/racial superiority. The hard truth is, that during the 30's Hitler's Germany wasn't that much different from the USA or Britain from a racial perspective. British thought they are superior than their colonial subjects, actually they even used kindof a slave labour in South Africa, which later developed into the Apartheid, in USA racial discrimination was very common and protected by law. Sure there were some colonies, actually very few, where the locals were content, but in most places there were famines, especially in India and Egypt. The situation was so dire, that the Japanese had a ton of Indians and Bhurmanese fighting on their side against the British. Sure it is mostly missing from today's history books, and actually people don't understand why Britain was left alone in 1940-41 and noone really wanted an alliance with her. The USA had conflicting interests, because it wanted to trade on the British colonies, they even considered the British as a potential enemy and had a serious war plan against her during the 30-s. The colonial system was on the brink of collapse, only Gandhi could stop massive uprisings in India, because he felt they would stab the brits in the back if they would fight for their independence when she is in mortal danger. In Egypt there was a high chance if Rommel could break through in El Alamein, then local police forces and paramilitary units would side with him.

Shall I ask why do you think that Rusians wouldn't use their navy in such a situation, and let Ukrainian imaginary fighterjets to cross the Black sea, and wouldn't use their firepower to suppress advancing Ukrainian troops from the sea? Also you make an argument, that a 1000 strong Russian airforce can't break through ukrainian AD, and after that you argue, that with 300 F-16's ukrainians could break through Russian AD, we see how nonsensical that is. BTW using ORYX data is kindof unprofessional, those numbers are highly questionable, rather considered as war propaganda. We have more reliable sources regarding to this, such as the MOSSAD, which reports are actually somewhat supported by other casualty calculations.

Proton not barely beating Falcon 9 , it has double the payload capacity, my friend, it was used to build the ISS, and made a circumlunar orbit, not some model rocket like Falcon 9, it is a heavy duty lift vehicle. Soyuz 2 also have 8500 kg payload capacity to LEO, which is technically one ton less than the Falcon 9 s 9500 kg, but for that both stages of the Falcon have to be sacrificed, so it wouldnt be an average pricetag launch, it would cost around 60-80 million, while you could get the same from the Russians for 40. @lazarus2691

Soviets sent at least 100 dogs on suborbital spaceflights even before they sent up that doggie, and they sent 7 capsule tests up before the Gagarin one, where 5 of them was with a living passenger. Before you start to cry, most of them made it back alive, even the Kennedies got their puppies from Khruschev from a spacedog breed. Those which didnt perished due to technical failures, not because they didnt want them back, the sole animal, where the soviets knew it wont return was Laika. Although technically she werent the first animal dying in space, those would be those mices which Goddard launched in 1929, if they made it up to that far. It became quite a thing during the 30s amongst rocket enthusiasts to launch animals on the top of their rockets, do not misunderstand me, Goddard wasnt a satanic human, but a rocket pioneer who needed funding from the public, those were different times, when these things looked cool.

Lol so lets see who are the friends of Orban: Trump and the USA: 50% of the world's military power, Putin and Russia 25% of the world's military power, Xi Jinping and China 25% of the world's military power and Recep Tayip Erdogan 40% of Europe's military power. Meanwhile Ursula and Germany has the might of Estonia behind her.... yeah Im convinced, that Orban screwed up his foreign policy royally and left totally alone, not the Eurocrats.... boy, maybe there are problems with Hungary, but lets not ignore the bigger elephant in the room, the problem with the EU, you guys cant pretend to be relevant and speak with every single one of the worldpowers from the highhorse, with your military capabilities and shrinking industrial output, its time to make serious concessions... meanwhile Ursula derisks and rerisks to and from China Kaya Kallas makes every single step to make every single worldpower angry at her. You should rather kss orban's btt, that he didnt take down every single bridge what your leadership did out of incompetence and hubris, and send him to Moscow Beijing and Washington and try to normalize the relations with those powers instead of playing this childish game. And you say that there is an actual country in Europe which should be blamed to not give up its independent foreign policy to these people? Comeon.... yes you can maintain your liberal democracy at home, but the days of the democracy exports are over, you will either follow a realist foreign policy in the future, or the EU will become a third world alliance, without resources, friends and technological edge, preyed by its neighbours and any great power for economic benefits land and resources, that simple. This illusion of grandeur is infesting every single European country form the Brtis to the french to the Germans to the Poles, but thats just an illusion, the EU is not the United States guys, and it will never be the United States, we cant force our will into the world as the Americans do, we have to cooperate with the world, and make choices which benefits European population, regardless of some moral implications, and be open to anyone instead of forcing this human rights maximalism. We cant continue with these peope Annalena360, Kaya Kallas, Sanna Marin, Stubb, the Baltic crazies at the helm, these people will wreck Europe in a week, if we let them run amok. So be grateful that Orban vetoes their biggest pipedreams...

Well the reality is Gattsu, that the americans are fcking poor. Yeah, they have their cars, and houses, thats correct, what you dont see, is their mortgage. If they are out of their Walmart job, they lose that car and house that car and everything what they worked for in a month. They dont own these things they are swimming in debt to show off to their neighbors, which is fun since their neighbor is swimming in the very same debt. Everything in America is fake, literally, their houses look good outside, but it is made out of paper, its not built for centuries, its even lower quality than China, yet costs more than a French chateau, which stands where it stands for 500 years. You can literally cut through an american wall with a simple scissor.

Lol because he regularly ordered mass shootings of the miners, constantly cracked down on the Irish, ordered the Benghal famine to crush Indian spirit sided with Franco in the Spanish civil war, openly supported Mussolini up to 1940, ordered his troops to use chemical attacks for the British expeditionary forces in the Russian civil war, used his troops to fight against the Greek resistance during wartime, made the Gallipoli disaster, the Narvik disaster, the Dunkirk disaster, the Benghazi disaster, the Tobruk disaster, constantly telling his generals what to do and changing their battleplans overnight and his best advice for the tories in his deathbed is to make Britain entirely white in the 1960s? Even the tories considered him as a dangerous far right extremist in the war cabinet. Now imagine if Churchill would be in power during Gandhi's independence movement, he would have totally ruined the UK's reputation for a century or so.

Democrats ar fing up the same thing what they are fing up for 60 years in a row. They start wars, because what would the world think if they wouldnt intervene in that situation. They are showing off with Liz Cheney, because they think its their duty to build a sane republican party, not just winning against the insane republicans. Their candidates care more about what other people think about them, then about what do they think about the world. Republicans dont give a sht, when they are in power then they are in power, they dont care what dems think about them, they dont care what the World thinks about them, they do what they want to do. Oh If I dare to say medicare for all, then southern crackpots and hillbillies will call me a communist, so what southern crackpots and hillbillies call you a communist anyway, then why just dont go ahead.

Yeah, I actually checked, the Finnish military is the 56th strongest military in the world, just to put it into perspective, the Czech military is the 32th, Sweden is 26th, they are actually in the same league as the military of Croatia. So no, they are a very low end military even inside European NATO, and they would require a ton of foreign troops in order to being defendable. And meanwhile theres no difference between the strategic axes of defending Germany or defending Poland or Ukraine, Finnalnd is on an entirely different axis. Which means troops have to be split in order to defend central and northern Europe as well, instead of focusing them on a single vector. Thats the reason why Americans always wanted the Swedes in, the Finns not that much, they were good as a netural bufferstate between NATO and the Russians.

Unfortunately idiots like Macron dont understand that you dont make blurry statements in a potential nucler exchange, but draw as clear redlines as possible. Like when in the Cuban missile crysis the Americans moved their fleet into position and told, whoever crosses the literal line will be in a war. What you are talking about is an extremely dangerous strategy, or a very weak bluff, because if he would mean it, he would move in to Ukraine without any warning and say, that if Putin crosses the Dnyeper, then there will be war, and thats it. Now as for Article 5, no country which initiates a war should theoretically activate it, which isnt thatmuch of a problem fro France, more so for Estonia, since if they declare war on Russia, they can find themselves totally alone.

Actually if you want to know whats wrong with the establishment, look no further than Biden. He is, by his own standards a very mediocre guy, who failed multiple times in his education, supported every single bad decision which the US took place for half a decade and the sole reason of him being there where he is, is that he is in the senate since 1970, and the shadow government thinks they know him. Meritocracy? 0. Corruption? 100%, Ok he is not that bad as Bush were, who was where he was because his daddy was a president,and his brother helped him to rig the Florida elections, as they formed this strange royal dynasty. You have these faces, so that the gals like Victoria Nuland, who is very democratically in the government since Bill Clinton ordered the bombing of Kosovo, through Obama and now Biden all the way down, while she received exactly 0 votes in a 30 years long career, can pull the strings from the shadows.

Lol no dear, Orban can do what he does, exactly because there are no such rules what you are refering to. You want to make those rules up on the way, like majority voting in NATO and EU instead of unanimous vote, calling Ukraine an ally of NATO without holding a mandate about it, accepting countries like Finalnd and sweden based on phone conducted small representativity polls instead of proper referendums, but lets be clear, it is EU and NATO bureucrats who are against the existing rules, not Hungary, and I dont see what is in for us to let you push through your changes, which we never agreed to.

So, if we forget the green BS and tax everything which comes from America, we will back on track. The mistake what Germany made is not to build a self reliant European market instead of trying to sell sht to the yanks and the chinese. We cant trust those guys, they only look for their own interests. Look at the yanks, they print some money when they feel out of it, produce the sht for themselves, maintain a debt which Germans couldnt repay under 100.000 years, and still confident, because their propaganda makes them immune from the obvious. If anyone would take American debtrate to the real standards, they would realize they went broke 20 years ago, and will never repay that money.

Hát ugyebár a nyugat viselkedhetne úgyis, hogy szeressék az emberek, dehát nem ezt teszi. Folyamatosan a kisantant érdekeit tolja a mieinkkel szemben. És ennek bizony ára van. Mondtuk mi a szlovákoknak, hogy Benes dekrétumokkal lopkodják a magyarok földjeit? Hogy lehet egyáltalán ilyesmi érvényben a démokratikus nyugaton? Mondtuk mi az ukránoknak, hogy nyelvtörvényezzenek? Hol volt a drágalátos nyugat, 2020-ban,amikor ezek történtek? Táncsak nem azzal voltak elfoglalva hogy bőnyállal szopkodják Zelenszki hímtagját, ahelyett, hogy számonkérték volna az állítólagos értékeiket inkább nekünk magyarázták, hogy miről kéne már megint lemondani. Megvan az előnye annak, ha Oroszország kicsit közelebb jön, a hatalmas szláv pofa helyét átveszi szépen az elementáris rettegés, és mi így szeretjük őket., amikor tudják hogy hol a helyük..

@jameshill4900 Well, no not a single ukrainian ever voted for independence from Russia, 60% of them voted for independence from the Soviet Union, but well, none of Crimea ever did that, that was a problem back in 90, Ukraine launched a military operation to silence them. Thats a very shaky legal ground, since Ukraine didn't exist, when they voted, so if the Donbas and Crimea or any other part of the country would want independence from it, it would be as rightful as their independence from Russia.

Lol looking to the map all the rich and successful parts of Spain were the socialist, while all the dirt poor backwater desertland are the fascists. Pretty common theme all along history... Fascist anarchists, yeah sure, thats the biggest BS I ever heared. Do you even know what fascism and anarchism is? Anarchists dont march around in densely packed military packs, dreaming of an empire thats what they despise the most. Also fascists and nazies never supported any trade unions, since trade unions are self organized grassroot communities, while fascism only supports state funded upside down organizations, therefore trade unions would potentially challenge their dominance. Mussolini said that he is an anarchosyndicalist, so what, anyone can say anything, Elon Musk said that he is a socialist, while he is clearly not, just look at his stance of his worker's rights .I dont mind TIK if you mix your ideology into your videos, which is very raw, but you have a right to hold as much self judged bias and misinformation in your head as anyone else, but in order to not say total BS you should sometimes read those political theories, in this case Bakunin and thats pretty much just a startingpoint, because even if you actually read Marx commenting on 20 century leftist movemenets based solely on Marxist theory would be the same as claiming you read Edmund Burke thatswhy you know everything about modern day conservatism. I guess you dont make your Stalingrad videos based on halfased wikipedia entries, but credible sources, because you know full well, thatswhy they are demanding, yet you are commenting on political philosophy without pretty much any knowledge or afterthought. Or, if you find it overwhelming, which is perfectly OK, then stick to the facts, and leave your worldview outside.

So, who are these "EU leaders", who are willing to force out a memberstate? Guess if they are as powerful, as you try to sell them to look like, they wouldnt hide in the shadows... also which "Rule of law" did Hungary went against? And if the EU funds are withold because of "Rule of Law" problems, then why would Orban get them, if he would agree to an unrelated security framework? That either means, there are no rule of law problems, in Hungary and this is only the idea to play games with a memberstate, or that the EU horsetrades the legal system to get a greenlight on some shady defense organization, which will be commaded by the same "EU leaders" who refuse to unmask themselves to the European public.

Excellent, now do one on the British colonialism, which wiped out the natives of North America and Australia and invented slavery, and why Britain is despised everywhere where they left a single native standing, meanwhile in Canada and Australia they find graveyards besides elementary schools, and you try to sell us, that its a perfectly normal thing, that mass graveyards of children can be found near elementary schools as some collateral damage where Brits tried to civilize the savage beasts. Its a well known historical fact, which only left out from British documentaries, thet Hitler and Stalin greatly admired Britain, and modelled their worst policies on ethnic groups after what the empire did to its subjects, like the Bengal famine, the concentration camps where the Boer population was interned, the Opium wars, the relocation of rebellious indian ethnic groups to Africa, the shootings amongst the coalminers strikes, the shooting of the Irish independence fighters, and the constant famines in Ireland to crush down revolt. The difference between Britain and the Soviet Union is that Kruschev actually apologized for their horrible acts, and didnt write op eds to the telegraph of how great were the livings in the old empire. Because, and thats the greatest crime of humanity, the Soviet Union didnt fail because the horrific crimes what Stalin made, but because Khruschev tried to be honest about it and build a better society. If he would have lied about the cult of personality as the Chinese did with Mao, or as the British do with their empire, a hoard of human beings would try to relativize every single act which was conducted by him.

So what, you Roman are hiding in Portugal, and monetizing this war for your own profit, instead of going home, and tidy up there. I dont say I dont understand why you dont do it, but dont be hypocritical. Yep they are mercenaries, they payed well and do dirty jobs, like all mercenaries are doing from the US to the French Foreign Legion. And no there are no just wars, those are warcriminals too, who fight for oil, control and resources. They can be good guys, but they are still warcriminals, who fight for oil control and resources, because thats what their Putin wants.

Well, theres a fine line between want to turn back those borders to the original ones, or giving military assistance to a country, which stole land from Hungary, so they can keep their gains. I would say Ukraine can keep Transcarpathia, but Hungary wont give them resources to keep it. Why would we? What do the Ukrainians offered? Nothing. They could end their petty games all along the way from 2014, they deliberately chose not to do so. Why would it be our problem, that they got themselves into a war, ou our responsibility if they win it or not? Did we promise Ukraine to defend their territories ever? BTW, Transcarpathia was taken by the Soviet Union in the second world war, not in the first world war, and it was a simple land grab, as with the Poles, whose country was pushed 500 km westwards and shrinked 1/3 which had nothing to do with people's liberation so this uneducated american is actually objectively distorting the facts.

@valis992000 Yep, we had General Dynamics building, you know, the Saturn V around 1966. Kindof an awesome rocket too, way better than anything Musk has designed up to date. Or the Atlas rocket family from Lockheed from 1960, which can do 90% of what a Falcon 9 can, and 110% of what the satellite contractors want it to used for and doesnt cost 10 billion govt money to reinvent... Actually you could run all the satellite launches in the world for free for 3 years just by giving to sat launchers the subsidies Musk received to his rocket for the government. Musktards generally speak as if no other company built a rocket before Musk ever, meanwhile there are a dozen just in the USA, who were basically sidelined by the govt for a decade so Musk could have better business opportunities. To be honest he halted human scientific progress by a decade because ISS couldnt be utilized for its full potential of a crew of 6+ because he had to figure out a capsule, which any company, who built one in the last 60 years of spaceflight could do in a matter of few years.

7. A mob which takes over a factory by the definition of the Oxford dictionary cannot be a state because an angry mob is not a different nationality, nor a different territory. Ok, I know it is ridiculous, but you told, that we should use this communication, so then why do you contradict?
8. You are somewhat right that democracy is the tyranny of the majority, but it is the tyranny of the majority in capitalism as well. Lets take Singapore, a totally capitalist country, where you will be jailed if you contradict the ruling power. Thats because capitalism has nothing to do with liberal democracy, the first is an economic definition the second is a political one. But I tell you what liberal democracy is the tyranny of majority as well. If the majority thinks that what you are doing is horrendous, trust me you will find yourself in jail, in the USA, Britain, or anywhere. Just ask some Japanese Americans what they needed to do to be pushed into detention camps.
9. No capitalism is not the individal freedom of anyone. Capitalism is what it is, the rule of capital. If they can buy you, and there are still cases when they can buy you, then your individual freedom is jeopardized. Is it capitalism? Sure it is, since you were bought and capital was used in the transaction. Economics and liberal democracy is not the same. One is an economic definition, other is a political definition.
10. Yes Hayek could be right, but he is the same kind of idiot, because he trully believes (or he is well payed for to propagate) the idea, that the so called "invisible hand" of the market will regulate everything, you just have to lie back, and enjoy life. Now, if someone not a lazyass dick and thinks for the moment, its exactly the same kind of argument as if you pull a pile of bricks in front of your house, and an invisible hand will magically build it up. Sure it wont happen, because the real world doesn't work that way. Even worse it works completely the opposite. Because while you Hayek lays back and waits for the magic to happen, those pesky little capitalist, who are actually not idiots are working actively against anything which would make their profits lower. There is an independent petrolstation? They buy out, and make it their own, if the owner doesn't give it then they make him broke. They use the law gaps, because they have the capital to call lawyers, and profit from them, and going for monopolies, because on the contrary of what Hayek thinks, real capitalists are the greatest enemies of any kind of competition, because that is unpredictable, and they like to know how much will they earn at the end of the month. Its not because they are evil, but because the system and human nature works that way. And if the service becomes a monopoly then what exactly the difference between a state owned monopoly and a privately owned monopoly. The difference is that as a citizen you have actually some influence to the state, but you have exactly zero influence to Nelson Rockefeller, so Rockefeller can decide the prices, and ask whatever he wants for the commodity, and by definition he will sell you on a higher than market price, because he can do it, and he has no competition. Sure the state has the right to crush monopolies, which would keep the market going, but thats a pesky commie thing to do according to Hayek and friends.If the USA wouldn't do it for Microsoft, you wouldn't have Youtube today to make your excellent historical videos.
11. Well yes, if you are actually lucky enough to own something, then you are somewhat set. Now just don't be that first worlder, and imagine, that most of humanity does own virtually nothing. And you know what, you can tell the tales to an Ethiopian that if he works tenth as much he will own a castle for his hard work, but thats a baltant lie. Your work as a british weights more in, not because you are working harder than an Ethipoina, but because you are a British. And even if the Ethipoian digs out 1 ton of salt instead of 10 kg each day, he won't earn enough money to buy a castle in 100 years. So he should make something which worth more. Even if he could someone has to mine the salt, otherwise we won't have salt anymore, so thats not a solution overall. Yes he could ask more, but if he asks more that cause inflation and he will gain the exact amount of net worth. Then what does capitalism give for you? Besides, you make an assumption that capitalists are making profits based on that they produce something. The problem is, that most of the profits nowadays doesn't made by producing something. The profits are made, because you own something. Now whats the difference. Lets say that you have a third worlder, who actually produce something. You give him your flat for money into rent, because you own it. Did you have to invent something to give your property to someone else? Did you need to put any labour to it? No you didn't you just used your capital and basically made money with money. That doesn't push for invention, or productivity gain. Now, from the profit what will you do? You will buy another flat, and another flat, and without any actual production you are making more and more capital, and thats EXACTLY whats happening nowadays, just big capitalists doesn't buy flats, they buy licences for example to your pharmacies and live off the gains, while in a pure economic sense they could sell it cheaper, but the logic of the system makes it more pricy. Thats not an extreme example thats the way the system works. If you ever played Capitaly or Monopoly or any games which actually the system gained its name, then you know, you don't make money by building things, you make money by owning things, and wait for the idiot to step into your field on the board and pay you.Thats the exact equvalent of the medieval landlords, who exploited their peons, based on the lands they rented to them. They werent at all useful, but they had the capital, at the time the lands. And because the least time consuming is to make money with money capitalism without that pesky state favours those, who have more money, and as while as they have more money, they don't have to do any other thing than to gain more money with their money, and who has more money have the more and more ability to gain more money which leads to wealth accumulation, and in the end the corner grocery store everyman hero of every capitalist will be forced out, because he simply don't have the same capital accumulation potential, and his bigger and bigger competitor will gain ground.
12. To continue Jeff doesn't OWN a product, he gives a RENT to the guy, who actually OWNS the product. It would be the same statement, that Youtube OWNS your videos. No, YOU own your own video , youtube just gives you a RENT where you can put your video thats the difference. So you work on it and Youtube cash in on it, and puts you on shadow ban or anything else, or demonetize it and still collects the money. Sure head on they had some initial investment but they pull out more, and you have no choice but to use their rent, otherwise you won't have your patreons. Do you have any chance to go to a different host? Practically no, because they don't have competition. Does it push competition/innovation/meritorcracy? Not really, it makes the internet centralized. In the case of your videos, maybe thats a little difference, but if Jeff would have real competition, then you would get your books cheaper, well according to the economists anyway. Besides, by Jeff giving a rent he actually makes the usual capitalist hero, the guy wiht a little shop in the corner, actually useless, so thatswhy it is a pathetic statement, that capitalism supports the small enterpises. No capitalism supports the big enterpises as well as Hitler did. Does that make Jeff an evil person? Nope. Did he made anything fundamental, what didn't existed before him? No, the net was full with online stores. Can you with hard work and comitment be Jeff. No you cant be even if you are the goddamn best programmer in the world working 24/7, and you have the most awesome site with the best prices. Simply because you are british Jeff is American, and in the online busines you can be big if you are Chinese or American. End of story. Ethiopians can mine salt, but can't make awesome historical videos. British can make awesome historical videos but can't make mamooth internet stores, or video sharing sites.

Yeah sure, you will get rid of a 2000 years old organization, the catholic church which is specialized on to pushback on any liberal or progressive ideology by electing a liberal president. Liberal means, that he wont want to step on their feet inthe firstcase, and it would take you 100 years to change poland into a normal country. And dont spin your Russia hatred as a modern liberal tendency, it is just plain old racism, which is rooted deeply in Polish culture. Some of our neighbors talking about historical grudges against them, but I would tell you the average Hungarian doesnt hate any nation beyond a certain rational and very low level, but what you feel towards the russians is straight out pathological. And it will be unsustainable on the EU level longterm, simply because the EU's promise is to bring peace and prosperity, meanwhile currently it is driving poverty and war. So either they change their ways, or there wont be an EU in the longterm, so either way your views wont succeed. The british are playing on you like a fine tuned instrument, using the Poles as a battering ram, but not against the Russians, thatswhere you are mistaken, but against the EU, because thatshow they want to make their Brexit a success story, when thats done, they wont care. If you continue like this at the end you will be left totally alone and isolated with a very powerful enemy at your neighborhood.

Thats because they dont let their Bezos to rob them blind. Literally guys you have to wake up. You arent poor because of free healthcare in Canada, but because your ultra rich are the last to pay their fair share, while the first to eat up government money for their insane projects. You could have free healthcare if you would force them to pay, instead of letting them to rob you. There are medicines which on market value, no free healthcare at all cost 10 dollars in Canada and 300 dollars in the US, because big pharma is sucking you dry. What would they do, move their production to a tropical taxhaven, where 500 people live and sell Teslas to 50 of them? Let them go, they are nothing without you. Israelis pay 100 million per year into AIPAC, and by buying up your senators they get back 10 billion in foreign aid, thats a literal moneypump, which serves noone except the bought politicians, who are giving your money to the Israelis legalized getting a few percent cut in return. If in any other civilized country a politician would even come close to having any ties to the business cycles as your lobbysts do, they would have to resign because people would be raging on the streets shouting corruption.

Theres a reason why Americans fought a cold war with Russia and not a hot war with Russia, because they couldnt win a hot war with them, so they took the longer path to victory. What the Europeans are doing doesnt make sense, if Russians win in Ukraine anyway then why to fuel this war, if they lose, then it will by definition turn existential to them and they will use their nuclear weapons. And actually I dont think tha a potential nuclear escalation makes Poland, or Romania, or any neighboring nation safer. If it is possible then Europe should negotiate a modus vivendi with Russia, if it is not possible, then we should put an economic blockade on them as the Americans did in the Cold war, but what we are doing in Ukraine doesnt make sense, it just worsens the living conditions in Europe, and make putin's job easier. Yes I get it Ukrainians should get back their lands, but they are doing this for 4 years or so, without any major achievements, this cant go on forever.

I dont know if the Soviets wanted to erase the Latvian culture, if they did they obviously failed, on the other hand Latvians clearly want to erase Russian culture, so by which regards they are better than the Soviets? Why do they think they will be successful, if the soviets werent, and why do they think that Russians wont fell the same hatred towards them, that they feel against the Russians? They are playing with fire, everyone who is playing these minority games is playing with fire, the EU was built exclusively not to play these games, because it started god know how many wars in the continent. Yeah I know Russian gov are horrible, what they do to the Ukrainians is even more horrible, that still doenst give Latvians any right for this, and its unfair not just for their minorities, but also towards the EU and their allies, it sheds bad light on us, jeopardize our security for a petty feud which could be resolved with a little bit of generosity.

@btan3495 Sure, I noticed the pattern. Ukries are the good guys, so nothing bad can be said about them, thats the pattern. Even if you simphatyze with them or not, the task of the so called free press is not to spread the lies of their friends, but to tell the objective truth. Sure I know Soviet style propaganda, and I can tell ya, what western journalists do recently is way closer to that, than what Russian state news claiming. They are rational and level headed, while the west fabricating heroes and enemies, like the Soviets did.

@btan3495 I actually know the Budapest Memorandum's text pretty much, and its not that simple, that Ukraine gave up its nuclear stockpiles for recognition of their borders. First of all, even the Budapest Memorandum did talk about a popular referendum held in Crimea, about where it intends to belong, there was even a referendum ongoing in 1991, but Ukraine intervened with military force, and stopped it. Secondly Ukraine guaranteed Russia access to the Sevastopol military base indefinitely, which Juschenko basically completely ignored, and ordered Russians to leave. Thirdly both USA and Russia guaranteed, that they won't interfere in the internal politics of Ukraine, which was clearly breached, when Victoria Nuland, Secretary of state, personally chose in a captured phone call the new leader of Ukraine, from the Maidan revolters. Does that give explicit right for Russia to invade? No, but the international law was basically tattered even before the first Russian soldier set foot on Ukrainian ground.

Democracy exports failed miserably wherever they were implemented. Now Ukraine is the next site of them which is disappearing in chaos. Problem is, that your media is rather lying to you about these places, don't understand basic realities, historical context and culture what shapes these people just give very crude digestable enemies. Putin is supported by the Russian population, because he made order after Yeltsin, who was the clear cut lackey of the west. He wins the elections democratically and clear cut. He is not afraid of losing a general election, he is actually afraid of a foreign organized coup, and Russians don"t care about the Khodorkovsky kind of people, because first of all, they are thieves, secondly, because they are on foreign paychecks, and Russians simply don't intend to walk back to the 90's.

Anyone who knows anything about the Suwalki gap, knows full well, that its a 100 km wide opening between Russian Kaliningrad and Belarus, where three Russian tank armies, and half of the Russian air defenses just wait, to cut it through, then the Baltic states are done, every single military unit there is trapped and a thousand throng air army cant break the missile defenses. Now the question arise, what did Poland and the Baltic stes do to fortify the gap? The answer is nothing. You have 3 years according to your own assessment, to dig the trenches put the minefields, because if it is still there on its current state, then the Americans will be somewhat right on why should they send their troop into a clear military disaster.

@porphyry17 You know that both the Mongols, and the Turks offered us alliance dear. Do you think that a bunch of uneducated westerners would stand any chance against the people, who sacked China? So, when a Byzantine emperor writes down, that the Hungarians are huns its bogus, when another writes down they are onogurs, thats a fact. Well, I have a problem with that my slavic friend, you are crying constantly that we are finnougric and onogurs as you wrote it are a tukic tribe, so your claims are pretty much unfounded on that ground. On another you are right, nomadic tries werent organized around nationality, but around common interests, thatswhy we made blood oaths, and merged 12 tribes into one nation, some of them Scythians, some of them turks, and some of them finnougric, some of them khazars into the Magyar nation, it was a pretty much standard practice back then. And I still would crack, that if you would be Romans, then the immigrating Hungarian tribes wouldnt find a barren wasteland in Transsilvania, but the most flourishing and highly sophisticated culture of Europe. We made Transslyvania the economic powerhouse of Europe in a mere 200 years from where 80% of all the precious metals arrived to the market, built all of the castles and forts, founded Europe's third oldest universitymeanwhile you couldnt build a stone hut there for 3000 years, couldnt train a scribe there for 3000 years, and noone had any firsthand experience with you for 3000 yers. Descendant of the latins, yeah, if I would be an italian I would feel offended. If you would stick to the Albanian descent you could at least show up some desolate cities on the outskirts of the empire, but you rather stick to this hiding in the mountains without any trace BS and deducing your entire history based on your language, because nothing else proves that you have anything in common with the european culture at all.

@Kalimdor199Menegroth Lol, my dear friend maybe you heared something about that little thing called THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA, which is visible from the outer space. If that fortification didnt stop them, what chance your underdeveloped castles would give. Without money, because we could stop them, when we were one of the richest countries in Europe with virtually all of the precious metal production situated in the Carpathians. Why do you think the pope betted on the Hungarians above anyone else, why do the byzantines allied with the Catholic Hungarians instead of their orthodox Romanian friends, and licked our king's asses for 400 years, why Andrew II led the single biggest heavy cavalry detachment into the Crusades with 10.000 knights alone when the whole crusader army from all over Euope was maybe 20.000 strong, and how the turks gave him and his army a free pass on land back to Hungary untouched, which they never offered to any other crusader king? So again, if byzantines writes about Hungarians are huns its bogus, if Herodotus writes about the dacians its a fact. The difference is that Herodotus never met a dacian in person, meanwhile byzantines sent their very best diplomat and scribe, Priscus into Attila's camp, so they were pretty much experts on hunnic matters, and they pretty much documented everything unlike Romanians.BTW its the same stuff as the onogurs. Hunnic mythology and Hungarian mythology are both steppe cultures, they are common, and besides that only genetics is conclusive, which actually confirms that the oldest kings and the huns were relatives.
Yeah, I know, the 3 states, where Gandalf the Grey fought the Balrog, I know the creative writing skills of our Romanian friends, but the reality is, that even Coloman the Booker had that territory under Hungarian control. And yes, from where do you think those stone fortifications and castles shown here come from? Those ones which are referred to as more elegant and more numerous than their western european counterparts? From the backwater economic area? Why does the gold placer mining equipment is called even today as hungarian riffles, why doesnt it called Romanian riffle or dacian riffle? And what do you think where did we mined those gold? On the great hungarian plain? Literally all of the mines in the Carpathians were found and developed by Hungarians, even now, where you mine your gold and kill our wildlife with cyanide, those mines were well known, and used by Hunagrians in the middle ages. How could transsilvania give the best mathematicians to the world? Sure living standards dropped a bit, when Spanish raided South America, and precious metal prices went down, and in conclusion we couldnt amintain as strong an army
Yep youto completely wipe the ottoman invaders. You are right, Trannsylvania was the second least underdeveloped area in Hungary, it was a booming economy before 1918, Hungarians built there and even in Romania all the oil production, from which a single well was produced more than the whole European production combined. then you romanians came, and made it a dirt poor beggar state without even a normal road infrastructure. Nowadays it fares better, because the billions of hungarian investments there, mainly Kolozsvár, but as you pointed out you still try to repress Szekelyland economically, so in overall, its still dirt poor compared to any of the Hungarian regions. But honestly culturally your Romainan presence only added even to Kolozsvár nothing except when you tried to demolish the thousand years old cathedral on the main square in search for some historical evidence of your presence there, and then painted the whole square to red yellow and blue, which was disgusting.

@Kalimdor199Menegroth So you try to explain me, that the biggest world superpower of the medieval ages couldnt construct a better fortification, than albanian goatherders. Nice try kiddo. BTW the great wall on its size is longer than the distance from Finland to the Mediterranean, and Mongols did need to breech it, even BEFORE they had access to those sophisticated siege engineers. I can tell ya exactly where Genghis passed it, at the Wusha fortress, which is THE STRONGEST POINT of the whole fortification system, what is not a coincidence, because that was the most likely point of a western attack against Chinese core territories. Because Chinese werent total idiots.
There are two reasons why Hunagrians and poles could stop the second invasion, first because we had the wealth and army to do it, but more importantly, because you know there was THE BLACK PLAGUE EPIDEMICS in the mongolian empire, and they couldnt send a full invasion force, then first time they did. Sure fortifications helped to spare the civilian population indeed, not as much the crops, since they attacked in winter. Easier to cross the rivers you know.
Lol Andrew II didnt led his Crusaders against the Ottomans in Europe, because you know in 1200 the byzantine empire was still kindof ok. He went to the Holy lands out of the order of the pope. So to send 10.000 knights through the sea to Palestine, and after a successful campaign marching back to Hungary, meanwhile passing Damascus, Aleppo, and the heartland of the seldjuk forces is a quite unprecedented feat in the history of the Crusades, they were pretty much didnt want to fck with him or his army.
I dont want to sadden you my romanian friend, but noone calls you dacians or romans. By your native state you are called by the outside world as vlachs, and your country is called Walachia, thatswhere we know your albanian origins. We didnt invented it, french, germans and italians did.
We love the idea, that you want one of our biggest king, Matyas to be romanian, thats rather humbling for us that you romanians are soo impressed, but we all know, that he, and his court never for a moment resided in Romania, or Transylvania. Besides, even if its true, it just shows the superior philosophy of the Hungarians, who would elect a very talented Romanian as their king, meanwhile Romanians couldnt get past their racist bigotry. So now tell me how you romanians were supressed by the evil Hungarians, if a romanian could even be a fcking king you idiot. What else do you want to be? God?
Ohh yeah, you dacians were mining a ton of gold in the Carpathians, and still couldnt build a fort, and aqueduct, or anything otu of it. So where did the money go? Into a swiss bank account or what? Oh yeah I heared about your corrupt leaders, maybe thats a national tradition, but even if they were indeed corrupt, the least we could find is a luxury condo of the paleolitic Ceausescu.
Again I would go back, those are called Hungarian riffles and not Romanian riffles for a reason. Because we invented them, not the Romanians, remember, yo were hiding in the mountains, when anything needed to be done.
Sure oil production is a native invention, dont get me into laugh, the whole concept of finding your oilfields was developed by Loránd Eötvös, and his torsion pendulums. You know he is called the father of geophysics, not Radu, the Hairyfeet. I dont want to sadden you that the first oil refinery was opened in Pittsburg Pensylvania in 1853. Oh by the way, you had 20% of the total rail network of the Hungarian kingdom, meanwhile the core Hungarian territory had 5% of it, that underdeveloped Transylvania was under the Hungarians. You had the very first asphalt road in Hungary too, an invention, which as far as I remember you rarely used in 2010. I just move around in Transylvania and cry. Looking the clocktower at Segesvar, a real technological marvel, of course created by Germans and Hunagrians, it is ran down, and not working, its raining inside the 500 years old cathedral at Kolozsvar, the main square of Szeben is littered with rubbish, the wonderul Szekely temples are caving inside, with their fantastic floorpaintings destroyed, you sent Herkulesfürdő underwater, demolished 500 century old villages with all of their cultural treasures,another century passes, and NOTHING will remain except the stalinist blockhouses you built there. Just look at the video how the castle of Deva looks, its horrible. And you go back to your natural state of bragging about your language when you dont have any proof of civilization. Barbarians. That happens if you give these treasures to childish nations, instead of preserving them, you destroy them. Just like the slovaks, who set Zolyom castle to fire. That shows, that there are four historic nations in Central Europe, the Poles, the Serbs, the Russians and the Hungarians. All the others are the mutations of those four, by the usual tradition of any slavic country splits into two in every 50 years or so, and rechristens and runs down everything what their predecessors built. Do you think you Romanians are so unique? You are just like the slovaks, or slovenes, or I dont know how they call themselves, seriosly there is no man in this planet, who could differentiate them with their russian flag, triple peak coat of arm, same name, and skying as the main source of income, saxon medieval cities, whom they have nothing to do with, utter disrespect for the history and heritage, rootless nationalistic bullshitting, instead of making marvellous things, crying about your oppressors, and meanwhile making a pogroms and forced bullshitslavization, thats what you do in general, and you are no different. And you wonder why we dont support Ukraine? You know why? Because Lemberg is Lemberg, a jewish city built by the jews, ran by the jews, and we wont learn a new name for it in every 50 years when a new slavic failed state decides that it split into two and rename everything and invent up a bullshit history with dargons and unicorns. We will only support the very first slavic tribe who comes into terms with its existence, and not trying to forge history to look better.

@Kalimdor199Menegroth Lol I talked about China, smartass, as a medieval superpover I see reading and comprehension is still not a Romanian forte.
So you confirmed, that walls dont mean too much, meanwhile bragging about how a divided Europe with inferior technology could hands down top the mongols, what the Chinese couldnt do, with castles.
The black plague broke out in 1350 in Europe, dear, you know the world is bigger than your little village near the Prut. It took decades while it traversed through the steppes, but it caused turmoils in the dynasties. Regardless King Bela indeed reformed Hungarian military indeed, but not because it wasnt a formidable force before, which could deal with anything in Europe, but because he had to face the strongest military machine of the medieval ages, the mongol military.
Well, no noone ever wrote that Vlachs and Dacians are the same. The chronicles wrote about the dacians, they also wrote about the Egyptians, so by that regard you could call yourself an Egyptian as well. Oh BTW, you invent up everything when the very same chronicles write that Hunagrians are scythians, because of course, if it handles your puprose you forge everything. BTW the dacoroman theory wasnt a thing until 1918, and the whole international historical circle is laughing on it, because its so ovious political propaganda creation, and bogus science.
This producing our own leadership idiocy, is just the useless romanian thinking. John and Matyas were very talented leaders, who considered themselves as Hungarians, why should we check their pedigree, we werent and arent nazi Germany to ask them to prove their true aryan blood. It was perfectly enough that they were talented. Maybe if you Romanians would promote talent instead of your nazi bloodline BS, your country wouldnt look like a stinking hellhole. You know fking your sister not to dilute the goatherder genome, is never a good idea, because it produces... well, Romanians to put it mildly. Oh BTW you slipped the part, that how you poor Romanian were colonized if you even could be kings hmmm? Now just in the opposite show me a Hunagrian king, or prime minister, or any leader of Romania. You cant, because you are the oppressors, also not a very talented one. I would tell ya that real Romans would laugh their ass off, if someone would mention a thing that they could be colonized, you know they were the colonizers, and that alone proves, that you have nothing to do with them, because they had more spine than this.
Lol fort systems, sure buddy, if you think about the 1000 years old collapsing ruins what the real Romans left behind. You could lookat what you did in Deva in a mere 100 years, I would be very suprised if two stones still standed on eachother after 1000 years of neglect. If you would have that fort system, according to your very own logic nomadic Hungarians would never be able to conquer it. But you didnt have WE built those forts, as you described well king Bela did that and all of his successors, all of them.
"It wasn’t until 1851 that Mr. Kier became the first oil baron when he started manufacturing Carbon Oil, a kerosene that would replace whale oil as a fuel for lamps. By 1853, Mr. Kier was making as much as $40,000 a year, a mighty sum, from his new refinery in Pensylvania." Ploiesti "refinery" opens in 1858.
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/23/business/energy-environment/oil-makes-a-comeback-in-pennsylvania.html
Nice try though. Yeah sure oil drilling in 1857, thats not drilling you idiot, thats digging a well, by hand. You know because the first oil well, which was actually drilled was made by Colonel Edwin Drake in Cowboyland, Pensylvania in 1859. But I wouldnt count that two drunk Romanian peasants by miracle found a little oil spillage, while they were digging a well for water, thats has even production problems, as long as spillages produce minuscule amounts, because there is no hydrostatic pressure to push out the oil. Your petroleum industy or BTW anyone's petroleum industry would be unthinkable without proper geophysical analysis and wells drilled deeper than 100 m, now thats what Eötvös has done.
So you had the industry, the cities, the railways, the road network, the intelligentsia, and you call Transylvania underdeveloped, while today, you dont even have more than dirt roads, and collapsing houses, and toxic mines polluting every single country in your neighborhood with cyanide, and not a single theater or university, which is not sponsored by the Hungarian government, just to maintain some culture in our anciaent lands, and you are striving on it. Pathetic. Just give up Dragan, and move back to the Prut swamps, there you wont meet the inconvenient truth.

Boeing execs fly things into orbit regularly, yet they are not exactly the most popular people among Musk fandom. Boeing execs are not tech Jesuses, they do what they are payed for doing their job, quite abysmally recently, everybody understands that, then why should Musk be above critique. I really dont see what Musk made what wasnt already made before him. Ok so we can send stuff up into space, not that we couldnt send stuff up into space a priori, not that there werent the SaturnV or the Energija, which could send up 100 tons into space, if it was needed, but there never was a real incentive to send up 100 tons into orbit, except some quirky government projects. Maybe it will be commercially viable, most likely it will fail as all of its predecessors failed. It wont make space business cheaper, like ever, not because his rocket concepts dont work but because capitalism doesnt work thatway, capitalism works in a way that if he can charge NASA for 80 million per seat on his capsule, he will charge NASA 80 million per seat in his capsule, he wont cut prices for the sake of cutting prices, noone would do in his place.The only thing what could cut prices would be competition, but theres no real competition in the space industry. 70% of all satellite launches is done by governments, Americans wont send up their crucial satellites on Russian rockets, Russinas wont send up their crucial satellites on American rockets, and Chinese wont send up their satellites on both, its a national security concern. Let alone I dont see why lets say his hypersonic passenger liners would actually help humanity, on rocket launch combust more GHG gases than 50 jets, its an incredibly wasteful way of transport, thatswhy nobody even tried it before Musk. Clever people first calculate, what they actually want to achieve, not going in headon, because technology which supports their wild ideas doesnt grow out of the ground, if they sketch an idea. Yeah Musk could sketch giant electric rocket engines on his rockets, and sell it as groundbreaking innovation, yet as long as giant electric rocket engines dont exist it is a mundane enterprise. He uses the Steve Jobs recipe with some more credibility, Jobs sold computers with a promise that one will save the world thatway, Musk sells EVs, they dont sell physical products but visions, and objectively their most sought after products are Tesla stocks. What Elon Musk really do, is taking well known sci fi concepts from the past, which were all tried and failed and try to push them through with brute force and advertizing, hile gathering a bunch of sci fi fans behind his projects to support him.

No, my Ukrainian friends, you get it absolutely wrong. Western weaponry is not wonder weaponry, its 10-20% better than the comparable Russian weaponry. The way why NATO wins with it is not because its that much better, but because NATO knows exactly what and when to use for maximal effect. So unless you present a winning tactics to NATO command quite down to every single command post neutralized and describe how you intend to use these weapons, and how you intend to purge the Russians. For example using long range weaponry against Russian targets is a bad idea. Not because you dont have the moral right to bomb Moscow, but simply because thats just a waste of ammo. You didnt give up, when they bombed Kiev, and they wont give up if you bomb Moscow, and they are a fing huge country, where you could reach result with tens of thousands of long range weaponry, which noone in this world have.

Lol thats a little bit contradictory. Americans couldnt build an isolationist utopia, since all their deficit is literally financed by the world. Yep, you pay for them, to be the world police, thats what their petrodollar, and investing system is based on, thatswhy you have the Japs and the Saudis making the investments there, Deutsche bank making shaky loans there. On the other hand if they decide to separate from the world, then there wont be sweet money for the petrolstation owners, they have to actually earn it. And the only way they would be competitive is by selling raw materials, as they did, when they were controlling 50% of the world economy, and, for a strange reason also exported 50% the worlds oil consumption at the same time.

@henrikl4244 Yeah sure, Serbian troops are pretty good too, they shot down an F-117 but they aren't considered eligible. But Swedes and Finns didn't held a referendum, as everyone else did, and thats not democratic, their motivations and committment is questionable, because well, the Finns promised battle tanks to Ukraine, and they broke their word, which is not a good sign for future membership, they have some conflict with another country, which should be resolved first and foremost, before the NATO membership is even considered. That some countries went absolutely nuts in NATO, that doesn't mean, that Hungary should accept easier terms than the terms that were golden standards, when we applied, we joined to that organisation, with solid groundworks, not some western agressor's club.

Lol if Romanians would live there first, then they would build those castles and make civilization there. Who does buy into this BS that you were hiding in the mountains for 1000 years without any trace? Yeah descendants of the Roman Empire, who are not capable of building a dirt road, so a nomadic tribe from the steppes shows them how to build cities and fortify them. If we would use those Lord of the Rings like mythology building, waht the Romanians do, then the Hungarians are part of the Scythian tribal alliance, which was ruled the Carpathian basin according to Herodotus, while he writes exactly nothing about Romanians, and we could even claim Iasi and Moldova based on the Cumans and the Jasz people are Hungarian today, and they owned those territories before the mongol invasion. About the ethnic composition, and the harsh treatment of minorities by Hungarians it speaks volumes, that before 1914 30% of Transylvanian population was German, and under the very liberal Romanian leadership none of them remained, the lucky ones were literally sold to the german government as hostages, others vanished, and maybe found in mass graves. Hungarians are more stubborn they will remain, no matter how much you paint our historical cities into romanian colours. So who is the real oppressor, my dear Romanian friends? We dont ask too much just to give autonomy to the Szekelys, who are a 98% majority in Szekelyland, as we do, with every single minority we have.

@Kalimdor199Menegroth yeah, dear Ive seen your remnants, your sharlatan archeologists did everything to destroy the 7000 years old disks with szekely rune writings found near Kolozsvár. And what you found instead was a Roman training camp, by Romans, and when I say Romans, I mean the real Romans, you know, who built aqueducts, and the Colosseum, which you couldnt accomplish until the late 19th century. So by what miracle you forgot all of the engineering talent what your claimed ancestors processed? Where are your cathedrals, where your highly educated scolars wrote down the real history of the dacians and the Hungarians? Hungarians arrived in 800, and we had the first latin written codex in 900 AD, you claim, to live here for 3000 years and wrote exactly nothing... You talk a lot about linguistics, but if you would really live here, you wouldnt bullshit around, just show us the triumphal arch with Romania written all over it, because deducing history from linguistics, is like saying that Norway did pillage Troy, because they and the Greeks both speak indogerman. And thats the answer for you for the scythian question as well. Linguistics is part of historiography, but not a very reliable one. Culturally the early Hungarian and Scythian archeological findings are essentially the same, we both have the same mythology, which noone else in Europe has, and the only provable european scythian tribes the Jasz people have two counties in Hungary and zero in Romania. You know those Jasz people, whom Herodotus calls the massagets, and who owned Moldavia until 1300. Hell, your city Iasi is named after them, so no , they were far beyond the Prut.
So you claim you didnt sell them to the germans, then you write down exactly how you sold them. They werent the first though, you got rid of your jews by selling them to Israel, if they had the money, if they didnt they just exterminated under Antonescu, and no even Horthy didnt do that. And where are the mass graves? Just ask your little dictator Ceausescu, as far as I remember you shot him, because you excavated hundreds of victims near Temesvár, your investigators testified they have seen far more than that. And since then you are not particularly interested in searching for those graves, maybe because then it would show us, where are those millions of ethnicities disappeared. Yes we can draw a map, as we like to draw, but the main point, if szekelys revolt tomorrow, you would have no concentrated force to stop them, because thats their country. Period. I dont even know why do you want those lands, the economic underdevelopment is the result of you romanians are stealing money from them and using it for Bucharest, if you dont want those lands and those people, then let them be independent.

@Kalimdor199Menegroth Nope, real name is Kolozsvár, maybe accepting Klausenburg or Napoca as alternatives but not Cluj, because it never was Cluj, and yes, you undermined the cathedral and the Matyas statue in 1991, when you pathetically tried to find some evidence of your ancient presence there. So my latin friend how do you explain to me please, that your authentic romanian tables DOESNT USE either latin or greek alphabet, but rune writing hmm? We only know one ethnicity in Transylvania, who use rune writing, and suprise suprise, they are not the romanians, but the Szekelys, Herodotus writes about the noble scythes residing in the territory, so what else do we need to add up the findings and the records, thats a perfect match. And we never hidden the fact, that Szekelys were indeed present in the Carpathians before the Hungarian conquest, we formed an alliance with them after we arrived. Your language proves exactly NOTHING, if you would be real romans, you would have known the secrets of writing, engineering, you would have legions, sophisticated culture, you know everything which is associated with the real romans. Because that made them fascinating, not that they were chirping in proto-italian. This whole deducing my culture from my language stuff is such a pathetic slavic effort to fabricate some history for my rootless nation thing. Yeah, we always welcomed cultured beings to live with us, and write about us, and if they decided to live with us, we considered them Hungarian. Because thats what you fascist romanians dont understand about the Hungarians, to be a Hungarian was never about where did you born, but if you wanted to associate with the tribes and call yourself a Hungarian or not. As for me, Im 90% german 10% byzantine greek, whose earliest ancestor migrated to Hungary as the scuptor of Bela III, and meanwhile I consider myself a Hungarian. It is an older tradition than even before we entered the Carpathian basins we welcomed different tribes. Thatswhy we are the Scythians and the huns as well, because we have the iranian words, the turkic words actually more than finnougric, we had both nations in our ranks, which were sealed with the blood oath we made with each other in the Khazar empire, thatone is even documented by Constantine. And since genetics is an absolute game changer, this is a scientific fact now, instead of some wordplays. Yes, massagetae are the Jasz people educate yourself, and that they lived near Iran in 600 BC doesnt mean, they didnt live in Moldova until 1200 AD, because you know there is a little millenial gap between those two dates, and maybe you heared something about migration. And yes, they are proud Hungarians, with the Cumans as well, with Jasz and Cuman identity, if you dont get it then read back the blood oath part.
As the german part I dont buy into that. First of all, because Im german minority, schwab if you are interested, and you know what the German government did never played that trick to any other nation. Sure they would welcome you as a volksdeutsch, but they were strictly evacuated from Romania because otherwise their life would be in danger, and thatone I know from my saxon friends, who were evacuated that time. Sometimes they visit back and tell the horror stories how romanian police checking their papers and force them to speak romanian after they chased them out.
Well, the two difference between how you treated the jews and how we treated them, is that in fact you were a free country when Antonescu made his massacres, meanwhile Hungary was occupied by the Germans, when those hungarians were deported, the second one, is that Romania had some ports to send them to Israel, meanwhile Hungary is landlocked since trianon. Sure we should have to do a lot more for them, but couldnt entirely stop the deportations. So your logic is like if Poland would be responsible for the holocaust, which clearly they arent. And meanwhile Hunagry still has a vibrant jewish community noone remained in Romania.
No, you get it wrong, when the deportations started, Horthy was out of power, and Szalasi, a german puppet was doing the dirty work. Meanwhile Antonescu hanged the jews from butcher's hooks in Bucharest.
I told you the exact locations of the mass graves, they were excavated in Temesvár, which you renamed to Timisoara after you tried to forge history again. Yeah, sure "Romanians", thats entirely based, that you dont find massgraves filled with real Romanians in Bucharest, or some real romanian place, but near a saxon city.
Lol you see, its not that easy to forge history, as you Albanian goatherders think.

Well, military takes money, dont bring in money. So in this economic situation the wise decision is to deinvest from military spending while the growth would let a more generous fiscal policy. The EV sector will cave in, thats just a matter of time, the sole reason why some car manufacturers bother with it, because thatshow the market frauds like Musk got their investment, which is needed for ICE production as well. But the biggest car manufacturer Toyota doesnt even bother to have an EV model, because they know full well, its a dead end. The future lies with hybrids, and Musk or the Chinese will never produce a functional one, thatswhere the 100 years of experience in car manufacturing kicks in.

@Iva K We give way more support to Ukraine than what we got during the 56 revolution, but thats okay. External policy is not the function of your hatred. We all know that the chance that you can actually break up the Russian federation is very slim at best, we all know, that at some point the Americans or the Germans and the French will sit down with Putin and make peace in Ukraine, and we won't be in the way, as the Poles and the Baltics will. They will lose influence at that moment, because they behaved childishly. If the Russians even interested in a German or French peace proposal, because they already went too far in this, and for the Americans they aren't interested in European economic power, from which a new Ukraine can be built, which again wont be financed by the US. About the protection yes, we are protected on paper, in reality we rarely seen a single NATO soldier in our soil, which is again OK in peacetime, not so much during a conflict, so there is absolutely no guarantee for us, or for that no Eastern European nations except Poland and Romania.

Our American friends dont understand a contradiction, because thats a quite complex economic topic. The contradiction is how is it possible, that while most of the money is flowing into America from the world, the average American doesnt swim in money. The peoblem is of course inflation regarded. Your government cant just pour all that money what you gain from other nations into the people because that would cause instant and massive inflation. Thats literally what happened with the Spaniards, when they colonized the Americas and flooded Spain with gold, the prices instantly went up, production in Spain became unfeasible instantly and went out to the Netherlands and Britain, porducts became more valuable than gold itself, which in turn caused that the Spanish had to indebt themselves, and finally went broke. Your government has to hide that money into debtbonds, and real estate and gradually giving out to the real economy, to mitigate the priceeffects. It still doesnt stop the process entirely, production is more cheap in any other part of the world without government bailouts, and since its unstoppable, your corporatists rather choose to control the means of production in foreign countries rather than fighting an uphill battle and keep it in America, real estate prices are rising fast but break it to a level, where American economy can grow enough to accomodate the increase in capital.

We have a systemic problem in the EU, you can march around and tell how horrible are the people who vote for Le Pen, or Weidel or Georghescu, or Farage or Orban, or Kacinsky, or Wilders or Meloni, or you solve the problem. You see its not just a little colonial problem of yours of lesser nations whom you can get inline with some financial threats, this is infecting even the core territories. If you choose the first path, then they will win exactly because European countries are indeed democracies. Neoliberalism have failed, western dominance is vanishing, even worse we can do nothing about it, because western dominance is controlled from America and we cant make their choices, the EU will either adapt to the new realities or it will disappear. There will be an inflection point where to be in a good relation with the East and China will be more beneficial than maintaining an EU closed market, and that time approaching fast.

You are canoeing on dangerous waters. If we would refer to lets say Georgia as the Soviet union, then objectively the worst bloodsucker and tyrant comrade Stalin was actually Georgian, not Russian, so by that logic poor Russians suffered under Georgian yoke.And half of their big comrades were actually Ukrainians, including Kruschev, Breznev and Andropov. Now can we say, that the Ukrainian lobby pushed poor Russians in joke to punish Hungary and Czechoslovakia, and they ordered the capture of Afghanistan? By the way what you see and identify as Ukraine on this map was given originally to Poland by the entente, so does that mean that poor Ukrainians suffered under Polish joke, which was corrected by uncle Stalin and the Molotov Ribbentrop pact? Ok in turn Poland received German territory after the war, their country was pushed westwards, where not a single Pole lived like ever does that mean that Germans are still living under Polish joke? History isnt exactly nice people doing nice things, its a violent clash of civilizations. We dont ask too many questions and leave things as they are, because if we would then all nations in the world would turn out to be violent oppressors, where Russia isnt even the worstone, and those who think themselves the most enlightened has the most oppression in their countries.

I don't think that you in the US are threatened about Putinism or Orbanism. Sure, some wings of the republicans will always try to do mischievous things, but as long as the population, doesn't give up, your country can't slip into this. Orban became Orban, because in 2010 all of the media outlets, the elites and most of the nation gave him absolute power without criticism, most of the news outlets told, that average hungarian is not interested in politics, therefore they don't make reports about any issues with a scent of politics involved, while he cemented his positions. There you should be afraid, most of the media, who turned a blind eye were actually owned by western firms, so while I don't say they wanted a dictatorship, they didn't have any interest to support democracy either. He used it to hunt down every single opposition voices, mostly starved them to death financially, and built a media empire, where only his narratives can be heared. It is like if 80% of US households would have access only to Fox News, and Fox would be more heavily biased. The lesson to learn here is to never give in totally.

And then what will you do? Take Ukraine in into NATO? No you wont do it, you know, because you are cowards. Noone told you, that you cant fight for Ukraine, some of you like the US and UK gave them SECURITY GUARANTEES, meanwhile, they are so frightened from the Russians, that they didnt send a single soldier. So that you wont take Ukraine into NATO ever is 100% proven, Putin knows that, Orban knows that, everyone with 2 braincells know that, its not even a possibility but a fact. All this ballet is to distract the idiots, while the cards were clear in day 1. All this bullshitting is about to weaken the EU, which is in the best interest of both of these powers.

Yeah, he adressed the problem, of why Ukraine is called Ukraine. Which comes from Krajina in slavic means borderlands.Thats true, and if we think about it, that has actual implications, if we can talk about the pre 19th century Ukrainian nation, because well, not a single nation which was ever independent calls itself as a borderland of two empire. Its like if the irish would call themselves englishhh, and expect that the world would think them as a separate nation. There are two kind of Urkainians existing, the Russified Poles, and the Polonezed Russians. No wonder that the war of Ukraine is a little war between Poland and Russia. Even today its not a single nation, its at least two nation in one, the western one with Lemberg, which is in rule since the ousting of Yanukovich, and the Eastern one, which voted Yanukovich into power, and is 80% occupied now with Russian forces, in every single demographic census, or voters preference everyone can catch it. So Ukrainians actually have no historical rights to their lands, because those lands were the Russian Empire and the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth before their ethnogenesis. Lets say that they have rights to some of their lands based on self determination, but then on what regard they question the right of self determination of Crimean Russians? That they got some lands in 1991 doesnt mean, that they are entirely entitled to those for ethernity. @MrSuperJ

I told ya. Ukraine is Russia minor. And Zelensky is a downsized Putin. Equally agressive but less clever. After the ban of 20 political parties, the shooting of their own savior, the misterious accidents in the Ukrainian high rank hierarchy with helicopters and greandes, the girfriend of the SBU was most recently poisoned, and now the Gonzalo Lira incident, what else evidence do anyone need. Their supporters already trying to erase the guy out of existence, in the best stalinist fashion, attacking his wikipedia site. They will be excellent EU members, I would look behind my back if I was Ursula, in case a true banderite patriot wants to suprise her for some comments on democracy.We can be happy, if they wont use their weapons, what we so generously giving them to blackmail Europe, or straigt out attack some countries to get more funding.

I would concur on the optimism about geoengineering. If it would be so easy to counter global warming by injecting stuff to the atmosphere, then it would be solved by itself, because warmer temperature means higher humidity means more clouds, means higher albedo, means lower temperature. I dont say it cant be done, but not on your scale of 8 billion tons of SO2. Truth is, we dont know exactly how much mount Pinatubo, Krakatoa, or the global dirty coal industry put into the atmosphere, we can just speculate wildly about it, but volcanoes tend to put more gases into the atmosphere by a single eruption than what humanity ever put into there.

Ostobaság volt. Az angolokat kellett volna kiéheztetnie, és a tengeralattjáró gyártásra feltenni minden erőforrást, és szó szerint megfojtani a briteket. 30-40 millió angol hullánál feladták volna a szigetet, és a birodalmukat is. Ha 41-re lett volna egy 200 tengeralattjáróból álló farkasfalka, az angolokból írmag sem marad. Még ígyis majdnem sikerült a teljes angol konvojflottát megsemmisíteni 42-ben, egy hajszálra voltak az éhezéstől. Csakhát Hitler szárazföldi katona maradt világéletében, nem értette meg, hogy a haditengerészet nyeri meg neki a háborút. Amúgy ha már a briteknél és a tényeknél maradunk messze a brit főparancsnokság volt az egész világháborúban a leginkompetensebb. Az egy szál Etiópián kívül nem volt olyan hadszíntér, ahol amerikai segíttség nélkül ne szenvedtek volna katasztrofális vereséget, gyakorlatilag a háború végére teljes mértékben kisegítő csapatokká degradálódtak.Churchill még Hitlernél is jobban bele szeretett pofázni a hadvezetésbe, az ő elméjéből pattant ki a Narviki partraszállás, a Dieppe-i katasztrófa, miatta nem vetették be Szingapúrban a mobil felderítést, és lepték meg őket a japánok, menesztette Wavelt, mert nem akarta Tobruknál megvívni az El Alameini csatát, amit még ígyis csak azért tudtak megnyerni, mert az amerikaiak Tuniszban a nénemetk hátában partraszálltak

This commentary has came out from an opposition MP of Orban, the former secretary of state of EU integration. I thought I will share it.
If we want to talk seriously and responsibly about the affairs of the union, we have to admit that
this European Union is no longer the peaceful, solidary, economically prosperous organization we entered two decades ago.
The European Community was created after the Second World War as a peace treaty, with the cooperation of Social Democracy and Christian Democracy. The former aimed at the realization of a social Europe, the latter at the fulfillment of Christian personalism. The role of the liberal parties was insignificant compared to the two big forces, and they mostly tried to curb social and environmental protection initiatives in the interest of big capital. The Greens, which appeared later, were initially more left-wing and pacifist than the Socdems. I dealt with EU affairs professionally for twenty years, but I never heard that the EU is a liberal organization and that everyone who is not liberal is an extremist.
At the beginning of the 2000s, when we became members, the EU cooperated with Russia, supported trade with China, prepared to admit Turkey, and tried to come to terms with Iran. He was able to maintain a balance between Israel and the Palestinians. During the Iraq war, the two leading member states openly and self-consciously condemned the American intervention. During the Russo-Georgian war, Nicolas Sarkozy created peace in five days as president of the union. The EU was well on its way to becoming one of the world's leading powers economically and politically. A community that builds on the social market economy and the diversity of cultures in contrast to American-style capitalism and autocratic systems in the East.
Today's EU has unfortunately taken a different path with its armed support of the war in Ukraine, its staunch rejection of peace, and its rejection of Turkey. With its current leadership, it could easily drift into a possible American-Chinese war, which is being prepared by the conscious downsizing of European-Chinese economic relations. The countries of the Global South, and especially the Muslim states, increasingly dislike the policy of the Union dictated by the USA. Within Europe, social democratic, Christian democratic and green values are gradually being blended into a rigid and impatient ideology, according to some kind of liberal formula.

I know that you Germans have a fundamental problem of understanding democracy, but when Trump talking about ditching Europe, he doesnt talk his ideas, but the cries of his voterbase. I know that you in DW, and now I would cite the oppinion of your international editor in chief about her comment on Scholtzie, like to think that a strong leader, lets say a "fuhrer" would you mind, can tell the people what to do against the will of the majority, but it doesnt work like that in America, so much so, that if Trump wins the majority, then even the democrats will switch sides, because you know they represent the people. They did it with the Afghans, and they will do it with you, without remorse, remember Obama marched in and out of Iraq based on oppinion polls, and the collapse of the local regime. You cant do too much about it, its their decision, so better embrace for it. One additon, theres one thing which America never associates with, and that is failure. So you my dear germans better make sure that Ukraine wins, because if it loses, then they will push everything into your neck just to come out clean.

You know I completely understand American grudges about Europeans whining whenever I hear these Baltic nobodies crying. Face it Lithuaninans, you dont have a single chopper to defend your country. The airplanes flying above your head, the tanks roaming your streets, the troops defending your borders, those are ALL foreign troops. You dont play with your soldiers life, you play with our soldiers life, you dont make sacrifices, you ask us to make sacrifices, on which we gain nothing. You dont have a military, and dont even have an economy, without EU aid, you would sink instantly, and you tell your backers, who literally dont let you starve on how to wreak havoc on their own baseline economy. Your country is not in a strategic position, if Russia attacks the Baltic states, then they can get to the Baltic sea, not into western europe, so its not even a military necessity to keep your countries in. The only right what you have Landsbergis, is to be grateful, STFU, and let the bigboys determine these questions. You wont tell Europe or anyone what to do, Lithuania wont determine the Russia policy of 450 million people, wont determine the China policy of 450 million people or sooner or later we will give you back to russia, because to keep lithuania costs too much, materially, diplomatically and economically. Then you can show us how to defend Lithuania or the Baltic states, without a single cannon, because you dont have one. The only thing which are big in the baltic states are your mouths Landsbergis...

I find you Americans lucky actually, because you can at least discuss these questions. In Europe it is impossible to hold our governments accountable. We dont understand why they are doing things, how they are doing things, all of our mainstream news is a copy paste of CNN. They open detention centers, our phonelines are wiretapped by god knows how much intel agency in our countries, then we ask, how is it good to our country, what do we have to do with all of this and get no response besides that if we question it there wont be an alliance and we will be overrun by our enemies, who are actually changing time to time. But there is an entriely new level of it. So lets say we in Germany cant spy on German citizens, OK no problem, British can spy on German citizens, so it will be done by the British, meanwhile we can spy on British citizens, and the two intelligence agency which is really one, can change information amongst themselves without any governmental oversight.

Can you explain to me if your fantastic capitalist overlord lives in a golden palace, then why it is not vile corruption, if your backstabbing commie overlord owns an audi it is? On which regards your fantastic liberal leader giving your weapons for free to Ukraine isnt considered theft, while your backstabbing commie overlord is literally lobbying for you not to lose billions of revenue from gas transit? Then if you are in sht, and need weapoins you wont have those, so your backstabbing commie overlord have to buy them, making economic difficulty. Yeah thats the rightwinger strategy I thought so... I dont particularly like Fico, but your previous leadership was criminal. Reality is, all the airspace in Central Europe is defended by Hungary right now, because every one of you gave up everything to Zelensky from Croatia through Austria to Slovakia, and we dont only have to listen to that, but the Baltic deblis whining about treason, while half of our airforce is there protecting them too. Now I would tell, that we dont entirely like, that we became the defenders of Eastern Europe and all what we get is insults, we arent the Americans we arent a military superpower, we have nothing to do in the Baltic states at all, and unlike them we have a hot conflict going on in our neighborhood, so we would appreciate our military at home. You love to brag about how you hate commies, yet you all think like one, with this lovership amongst brother nations, and giving Ukraine everything even if it is literally putting your own country into danger. Sorry folks, real world doesnt work thatway, the Baltic states are 1000 km away, and theres no road leading from there to Central Europe, its not strategic for us to keep it, and if they want it, they should buy their own weapons to defend it not leeching our resources.

NATO is actually not prepped to fight a war like this. It was back in the 80s, but the military doctrine since shifted towards special forces operations. They underestimated the importance of dumb munitions, and overestimated the importance of highly sophisticated weapons.The best case study is the excalibur shells, which completely ran out since, they thought its so overwhelmingly better than the standard 155 mm ammunition that it will balance out a 10x1 artillery disparity. But reality turned out, that drone coordinated artillery strikes with dumb munitions are precise enough 1 times out of three shots, and thats a great problem. Fortunately for NATO, these things turned out not in an allout war against Russia, but a proxy war, so theres time to change procedures, and recalibrate weapons production aims.

If Europe would ask you would you jump on your head around Tbilisi? They arent saints, or allknowing people who will use their heads instead of you. If you give them your country, they will use it for their purposes, most likely as their wastedump, because they re not particularly creative too. There are two kinds of Eastern Europeans living in the EU. One kind is the one which completely gave up its identity, and thinks as an American in New York, anxious, because his country doesnt look like New York, the other is who hates the EU with passion. Neither of them is particularly happy. I told New York because even the Germans want to be Americans inside, like our great president von der Leyen with her official California home address, theres nothing European about the EU its a big neoliberal organization to further big corpo interests, absolutely not worth a droplet of any body fluid.

Yeah, when will you hold a referendum in Szekelyland about the reunification with Hungary? Oh you dont intend to, and just showing the Paris peace accords. Well, according to the Paris peace accords Bessarabia, or Moldova if you like is a separate state, so no referendum has the legal power to changing the status quo, that you made a precedent when the people of Crimea have spoken, and you declared it a sham, and put the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine above else. As there is a saying in Hungary, that with one ass you cant ride two horses simultaneously, the moment you try to annex Moldova one way or another Transylvania will again be on the table. @Kalimdor199Menegroth

I wouldnt make such a fuss about it. I speak english everyday with my colleagues, and dont ask them to learn my native language, thats actually an office policy, that we speak english even with our fellow countrymen inside. So what? Wont my country exist from now on? It did exist for 1100 years, but a shtty little IT company with its international crew will bring it down. Should I care if the Germans or the Brits or the French sending their kids into German Brit and French school while they stay here? Why should I care, its not my business, I dont have problems if anyone sends their kids there? Who has a real country and a secure right to it wont go into these kind of games. This only proves that Putin is right, even the Latvians arent sure if they are really existing, because if they would be, they wouldnt make problems about speaking Russian if they know Russian, because they will be Latvians anyway.

@lb2791 Well, thats not entirely true either. Ukraine got 1/3 of the US javelin stockpiles 8000 out of 30.000, they got manpads, and their personnal was trained by NATO, and they got soviet equipment from the eastern NATO states before the war. Odessa harbour was deepened in order to be able to house US destroyers, and heavy warships. Thats not as great of a surprise they were able to fend off the Russian invasion, they got a ton of supplies from the west, just it wasn't public information. Merkel and Hollande admitted, that the Minsk accords were just a trick to buy time so they can arm up Ukraine. Not that anything wrong with it, but fact are facts, the west helped Ukraine bigtime.

@truth6763 As far as I know my slavic friends, just don't start to learn these Kyiv, Kahrkiv, Lviv bullshit, because in 20 years there will be a new slavic country there, arch enemy of the ukrainians lets call them tha lowcrainians, and those cities will be called Kujev, Kherkov, and Lvuv.We have already seen it in those pathetic failed states of Chokoslivekia, Yuggerslavia, and MonteVHSvideo. Oh sorry, it is already there called the people's republic of Donbass, now they just need to invent some 1000 years of history to themselves.

Dear, you cant even predict the weather tomorrow, and you sell me, that you actually know what will be the temperature in 2050. Either you have no grasp of math, or try to panick everyone for a moneygrab. But OK, go into it, so you obviously found a way around system complexity, that alone worth a Fields medal in Mathematics, yeah, because suprise, its not a shtty physics, or climatology problem, but a deeper level pure mathematical problem. You are welcome to use mathematics as a tool for your menial things, but if mathematics say something is impossible, it wont be possible in your menial tasks, just because you wish it so hard. Climate is a complex system, where a minor adjustment on one parameter deviates the results of the endproduct to the extreme, you can speculate and make those predictions, but they dont worth too much, theres no cheating or clever thinking, even if those models would be 100% precise in the past they wouldnt guarantee anything to the future. Yeah, real scientists you know have models, because the paper can bear anything written on it, that doesnt mean, those are even remotely likely outcomes, mostly interesting mind games, and real scientists dont even refer their mind games as likely outcomes, not even on the papers you are referring to.

Im quite sure the moment Ukraine joins NATO, we will declare neutrality. Even if Ukraine would be a perfect country, there would be no reason to remain in if all of our neighbours are members. Our borders are protected that way, and we don't need to go to the American safaris into the deserts. Our soldiers talked to Afghanis, Iraquis, made some good relations with them, they really did not understand, wtf are we doing there, our population didn't understand it either, now they want us to go against Russians and Chinese, whom we have no problems with whatsoever. '56 was the Soviet Union, not Russia, and we long forgave that. We just want to live peacefully. BTW Habsburgs, the Austro Hungarian dynasty, are living in Hungary today, they cant set foot to Austria anymore, which is kindof ridiculous. We respect them, they are wise people.

Tell me one EU country where there are no human right issues. Seriously the whole EU is built on the fundaments of human right violations. Just ask, how is it possible, that in Spain they can crush the Catalonian referendum, that in France, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, the Danes there are no registered ethnic minorities at all (well there would be, but those are supressed heavily), that Croats made an entire county Serb free, that Slovaks and Czechs have legislations in place which lets them to confiscate German and Hungarian property for free, and they are doing it each year, that in Estonia Latvia and Lithuania 20% of their population, who are living there longer than these countries even exist doesnt have citizenship, and made as second class citizens. Well I guess, if we would have free press, which is interested in human rights, it should be screaming about these all day long. Unfortunately the universal declaraton of human rights is not as tolerant for these kind of things as the European Jurisdiction.

Will you invite Ukraine, or Russia maybe? Just some suggestions. If anyone is interested in the German oppinion, as far as I know from your minister you are in a war with Russia, and as weak, as you cant even protect your own pipelines. You don't have a card in this game, neither by military force, nor by diplomatic weight. Russians don't respect you, they know that you are just a generic US lackey, who will do as they told you, Ukraine don't respect you, they are just pushing you around with the help of mainstream media, Poland don't respect you, they are building a military force to invade Western Ukraine, because they see the opportunity, and you can do nothing about it. You can lay back and enjoy the show from the perspective of subdued and insignificant countries, and leave the decisions to the bigones.

You know you are lost when you argue the well documented reality. It only takes a google search to validate the existence of those documents, but those are not countered by any western official sources. But of course that does not matter, even the Urkainians themselves dont matter, they want to die, thats on them, we, the outside world just watching them, like when you watch a heroine addict injecting himself with lethal drugs, and keep nodding, that it shouldnt be done, but you cant do anything about it. @thegreatdane3627

The problem is what do you consider as Europe? This leadership considers Ukraine as Europe, now from that point on we are already in war with Russia. But OK, lets say that Ukraine is Europe, and theres no war there, and it is defended by the EU army. So if Chechnya goes for independence is it considered Europe? One way or another they will pull us into war, because the EU leadership is a bunch of warmongers, they will find their way to pull us into a conflict... lets not pretend that the definition of Europe is existing because its not, there are people who think Europe is the actual members of the EU, there are people who think Europe is a geographic region which we know as Europe, and there are people, who would happily wage war in Asia to spread liberal democracy there, because why should we consider geography at all, by which regards a Kazah freedom fighter is less than an Ukrainian freedom fighter. And if you have a hammer in your hand, everything starts to look like as a nail.

@ultimaratio7373 Invaded? you dont get it dear, if we leave, we will reclaim our lost territories as opportunity arise, because as your friend wrote without them Hungary is not entirely functional, and as far as I know every single country has the right of self preservation. You arent standing as good as to collect new enemies, especially not as powerful ones as the Turks or the Russians, and not really want to give up the gates to the Balkans. Or if you do, you will have a very hard time, its more or less inevitable. You know that the EU was intended to be a peace project, if you start to play this BS, dont be suprised if you will get wars, and noone will give a flying fuck to treaties signed 100 years ago by people held at gunpoint by your terrorist governments.

És, Napóleon elfoglalta Moszkvát, de nem nyerte meg a háborút. Hitler ennél sokkal okosabb volt. Ezt a ha bevettük volna Moszkvát meglett volna a háború című hülyeséget Halder meg a német vezérkari tisztek terjesztették a háború után, hogy letolja magáról a felelősséget. Hitlernek volt igaza végig, Asztrahánt és Bakut beveszik, azzal elvágták az oroszokat majdnem az összes olajuktól, és a gabonatermelés 70%-ától, leállítják a hajóközlekedést a Volgán, akkor a szovjeteknek fel kellett volna adnia. Csak ehhez a németeknek sosem volt sem elég jó logisztikájuk, sem elég katonájuk, hogy biztosítsák a Dont.

Well, I dont think Putin could actually occupy Crimea with 5000 troops, if he wouldnt have substantial support there. Ok you guys overthrew Janukovich, who was by all regards a democratically elected president, who was popular in the Donbas and Crimea, and tolerated in Lviv, for a person who was loathed in the Donbas, and loved in Lviv, thats not democracy, and they actually dont have to accept it. Why should they? If we win, then Lviv overthrows it, if they win, then people have spoken, thats BS. Crimea was the most underdeveloped part of Ukraine for 30 years, of course they broke free, especially when they saw the Kyiv regim rubbing their fingers about the new gas well drilled in the Black sea, haw they will steal everything from the locals. The first rule of democracy, is not to trigger your population with coups because it leads to civil wars, the second rule is to keep as much governance in the hands of local authorities as possible, because a cetralized government will be hated on the peripheries. And this whole corruption dude the west is corrupt too, this is just a self colonized sentiment, that they would run your country better, if they would be in charge. They wouldnt, that was tried and failed when the west ran half of the world as their colonies, and somehow it as just them who made profit on it, and you run your country best.

Do this person didnt read Manufacturing consent from Noah Chomsky, that he doesnt know how the elites acquire power? Sure journalists think they are telling the truth, but in reality those journalists who dont agree with the elites wont be journalists. Didnt you know that journalists in liberal countries have an actual little book which describes to them how to clean up after your genocidal little country, how to not call a massacre a massacre a genocide a genocide, but "unfortunate collateral damage"? Didnt you notice, that whie they call Trump an authoritarian, Putin an authoritarian, Xi an authoritarian, they never call Netanyahu an authoritarian, who is the textbook definition of an authoritarian. They let Israel to spread complete misinformation on Middle Eastern history for more than 80 years, complete BS like "palestinians are Jordanians" Jordan didnt even exist before WWI, literally the king of Jordan came from Meccah, he is a full fledged Saudi with his tribe with his tribe he wanted to be king of Syria, but that was offered to French mandate si the British troops stopped his tribe in Amman, then he asked for that territory, thatshow Jordan was born. While Palestine was Palestine even under the Ottoman rule. Or that "Palestine never existed in history invented by the Romans" it is literally mentioned by Babylonians and Egyptians 1000 BC they called that place Palestine. Or that Isrelis never attacked first. in 1948 they attacked first, in 1967 they attacked first. So how many times your professional institutions factchecked them? Not a single time. Ever!

@happymelon7129 Theres a heavy liberal bias on our media, which makes you believe so. But on the ground level things arent as NATO friendly as DW would like. We made a strong position for Palestine against US interests. Besides there are nations in the EU who are genuinely terrified of Russia, I can say I understand them, although totally giving in to their fears is not entirely rational. We can manage Russia, and Russians know we can manage them even without the US. We have 5 times their manpower ten times bigger professional army, our technology is better and made in bigger quantities, so they couldnt win a fight against a united Europe. Ukraine is an entirely different matter, they are absolutely the underdogs on that fight, we would have to deliver absolute miracle weapons to compensate for that, and in one hand while our tech is better it is not that better, on the other hand noone gives their miracle weapons to Ukraine, which they possibly want to have in a hot conflict untouched. Thatswhy they dont get Taurus, because if they would get Taurus, Russians would learn how to deal with it, and it is developed against Russian theta bunkers in Kaliningrad, not to score some highly symbolic bridge victory in Kerch.

@zeyadsaeed9580 And you think that a guy, who is caught off the street by some kidnapper Ukries want to fight hard for Ukraine. SUUURREEEE. Those are the most useless fighters you can imagine, only good to demoralize those who still remained for a fight. Yes, in Vietnam, when Johnson seen hippies burning their drafts under his window, he knew that the game is over, as every democratic leader would know. But Zelensky is a nazi dictator, who don't care about his troops his nation or their morale, he thinks that some SBU batallions with machine guns can push the cannon fodder to the Russian lines, and it will be anyhow effective. They will surrender at the first possible moment, or simply die while trying to surrender.
1
-
@zeyadsaeed9580 Consription is a civilized process, where you get your draft, and send you a note that you will be called in. But thats not what the ukries are doing. They literally send out Military police with vans and a number of people they have to kidnap immediately, or else they will themselves pushed to the frontlines. They don't even check documents, or make any medical examination, just if they see someone, they catch him and push him to the van. Youtube is full of videos, where they are beating up regular people off the streets, grab people down from buses and pushing them into military vans, searching through houses for anyone they can catch. They are really scratching the bottom of the barrel. Their latest idea was that they will ask European countries to deport all Ukrainian refugees back, so they can fight.
1
-
@KSmithwick1989 As I mentioned before drafting is a legal process, in which your state calls you in, examines you, that you are physically eligible for the military, and then send you a notice, to move in. You guys don't know this, because you were never drafted armchair veterans. But thats not wht Ukries are doing, they picking people off the streets without even checking their documents. Check the evidences, even Zelensky admitted, that its happening. It is like what the British did, when they kidnapped sailors for their warships off the streets.

Yeah you liberals collapsed, because you always prioritized fighting the left, while making shady backroom deals with the right... Now you have no choice, the left will take over, and democrats wont be liberals. They will be real leftwing with liberal support.Who created that system BTW, which enables Elon Musk to gain money and influence from government funds despite his company's real product sales are tanking, threatening to primary Republicans? Who is still preaching about good billionaires? Oh its not Bernie Sanders, its the nonexistent democrat leadership... Its a matter of a month of AOC taking over, she is by now the de facto leader of the voterbase, not that weakling Jeffries, then there will be sweeping changes, regardless if New York Times likes it or not, momma bear Nancy can do nothing about it...

Well, some of these thoughts, are unfortunately just pipedreams. In order for the United states to become the greatest producer of the world, we have to devalue the dollar, not a little bit, but a shtton lot, to be competitive with China, and wages cant be that high if we want to compete with them in the cheap $hit arena. Those are objective musts, since in the worldmarket noone cares about the feelings of America, the only thing which counts, is how much a given product costs. But that really doesnt worth it. I mean, we can produce useless Wish stuff, but what we are making the real money of are the financial markets, and the strong dollar. We can sell as many state bonds as we want, thats essentialy free money, as long as the dollar is the standard currency, we cant play too much with that standing. Yeah sure domestic market is one thing, but the US will never be a net exporter its not our position in the world economy.

Well, Orban wins because he redraws election districts in every 3 months or so. He monitors which regions are opposition and which are fidesz voters, so he chains up massive fidesz voting areas with opposition voting areas to dilute the result. It works like for example Pecs, a city in southern Hungary, which is pretty much the most cultured city in Hungary, with the 4th most populous in hungary and hates Orban and his maffia as hell, has 2 election districts, but none of them consists the actual city itself has the majority, but all the small villages around. So even if the city votes 100% against Orban he could get his man in. It is so ridiculously made, that villages from western Pecs are chained to the Eastern Pecs voting district, just to rig out the result. So its not a miracle that he wins, on the contrary its a miracle, that the opposition could win one of the districts.

Well, its incredibly naive to think that the nations of the world are that eager to sell things to America, and fuel its debt with foreign investment. Theres a powerbalance in the world, where America is offering protection, in exchange getting resources and capital for free. If the world is made to be able to defend itself, thats a fair point, but then theres no reason to keep US dollar as a reserve currency, since it would boost every single nation to do their dealings in their own national currency. That would siphon out 60% of the capital currently in america, and make the debtservice uncertain. Its even more incredibly naive to think, that its still the 19th century, and things can be coerced by raw military force like the British Empire did. there are weapons powerful enough to eliminate the entire world multiple times, which makes certain great powers invulnerable to any military coercion, because no matter how many more warships personnel or hardware the adversary has the outcome will be the same. Do you really think professor Hanson that your papers and international treaties will really defend you, if the world is not onboard? You cant have your cake and eat it too, you can rule the world as long as the world is dependent on you, if they are not they will treat you as their equals. Theres a saying for that in the stockmarket, called pricing in. Theres a certain point up until your president can run around the world threatening everybody, but at a certain point countries will price his threats in, and make their countermoves regardless of how destructive it is to the US or their economies.

So to give a little bit of background on what goes on in these Eastern European countries mind you. You know there was this thing called the Soviet Union. It was pretty much the same thing what the United States is. You know people are moving into different cities, for example you Kyle move to Austin because of the weather. Now lets imagine that from one day to another the US is gone. Texas becomes a country, California becomes a country New York becomes a country. Texans invent up that New Yorkers and Californians colonized them, and starting to hit on Native Americans, because they dont speak their accent. Thats whats going on in these post Soviet states. Allot of the Baltic countries and Ukraine are eager to get their revenge on Russia for what happened to them, they cant go into a direct war, so they start to persecute their ethnic Russians, and while they are at it they target anyone who is not part of their nation, that includes Crimean tatars, Ossets, Buryats etcetera, they rename everything to their liking and pushing an ultranationalistic agenda. Its not that black and white, that putin the evil invaded Georgia and Ukraine, they both started it. The Georgian war started when Georgian troops started to shell Chingali the capital of Abkhazia, a namely autonomous region in Georgia, because they wanted them to merge into Georgia proper, who in return asked for an intervention. And Ukraine started with the Crimean and Donbas separatists. Ukraine didnt even existed for 2 weeks, when they sent a military contingent to crush a revolt in Crimea in 1991, it was in the air. Yes they were armed by Russia, as anyone would arm their people if they would fight an oppressor, but to think that Russia could occupy a territory of the size of Ohio with 1000 green berets without the overwhelming support of the local population is gross. Also OK I completely accept that most of the Ukrainians are not fascists, but the fact remains, that they did let real fascists, like the Azov brigade to arm themselves up, and make a private military completely separate from the Ukrainian state, who in turn started to collect people whom they considered traitors. They knew full well, that if this civil war will go on sooner or later Russia will intervene to defend their people, and instead of trying to reach some diplomatic conclusion they tried to arm themsleves up for the conflict what they are waging now.

@freemanreed5228 Well, if you are a tanker, then I would ask you if you find it credible, that Ukries having a 3 month crashcourse on a Leo2, and dont tell me, that T72 knowledge counts that much, will be a worthwile adversary for a Russian crew which has possibly years of experience, meanwhile if anyone can fly above the battlefield it will be the Russian airforce. Sure Ukrainians liberated a ton of land, but how much Russians did they capture in the process, and where are those whom they didn't capture. Do you really believe, that Russians are launching 7-10.000 shells a day they have to resort on massive human waves to take ukrainian positions? Why would they do that when they could send in 5-6 reckons, who just tells them if there are any ukrainian left alive? Paradigm is one thing, thinking that your enemy has less IQ than an amoeba is entirely different. Even if the Ukrainians really made 1000 russian tanks to burn, how much casualty does that mean in their manpower? 3000? And why did those tanks burn? Because they didn't have infantry support? If thats the case then where on earth Urkainians killed 100.000 russians? During the camapign, where they didn't use infantry, during the campaign, when Russians ran away, or during the campaign, when Russians shelled them from 20 kliks distance? I can tell you where the 100.000 ukrainian died, they really had to use human waves against superior russian artillery positions to suppress them and saturate their positions, thats kindof logical, since they had the advantage on manpower and disadvantage on gear.The problem is you know when you think it through it simply doesn't adds up. Numbers never lie. The Colonel sounds pretty much reasonable.

@freemanreed5228 Well as they put it Russians moved in with 150-190.000 troops initially, and its hard to argue its not enough against a country of the size of Ukraine. Just in comparison when Germany invaded Poland in 1939 it used 1 million troops. And they werent in offense for that long to lose hundreds of thousands of troops, as far as I remeber they pushed for 2 weeks. So where are those guys? They retreated behind safer positions. Literally thats what they done, sure it looked ugly they didn't put up a fight in Kiev, or Kharkiv, or Kherson, but that meant, that they weren't killed there. And this you lose more on the offense stuff is a BS, you know better, when you made the Desert Storm, you were in offense and didn't lost a percent of what the Iraquis lost. Why does it takes so long to take Bakhmut, if they are dumping on it 300.000 man? You know they didn't even dump on Stalingrad that much in a single run, if they would do that, no matter what Ukrainians would do they couldn't keep the city, they would be just pushed out of the city by the sheer numbers. It would be twice the size of the invasion force used in D Day agains a city with 50.000 residents. Yeah sure Russians would have their 100.000 KIA, but they would certainly succeed, simply because they would have the edge on every single possible measure. I think It takes that long because Russians use a very limited manpower there. Thats exactly what they did in Grozny back in the Chechen wars. They actually learned the hard way how to make these city fights, because they screwed up thatone at the beginning too. They used there reckons, heavy artillery bombardment and thermobarics to clear out the city, which actually looks exactly like what they are doing in Bakhmut. And it looks like they are forming a big pool of reserves to defend against the Ukrainian spring offensive. Which again may succeed, but the real question is not how much land Ukrainians gain, but that how much manpower they lose and how much manpower Russia lose. They really have to trap a Russian army thistime to be successful, because I dont think if they will have a fourth shot after that, they already lost two armies and western supplies are not increasing but waning. I think they would be better off just to focus on defense with local counterattacks and stabilize the front until a negotiated settlement finishes the war. That way they could really bleed out the russians, and the russian high command knows that, so they would possibly accept a border rather favorable to Ukraine.

China, behave as a real superpower does! If the USA claims you are sending help, declare that you send double time. If they cry out sanctions, kill their industry. They are no match for you, just a bunch of crybaby losers. Their international law is nonexistent, they are crossing it whenever they want it to. They don't respect anyone's sovereignty, so their wishes must be ignored and their threats countered by force, because thats the only language they understand. They already declared that they are your enemy, every single weapon you destroy in Ukraine can't be used against you. If the war ends they will sanction you, and their European puppets will join, they don't have autonomous will, but if they fail in their schemes now, they will look weak, and start to negotiate.

I dont know why you make this so complex. Donald Trump is a well known liar, so people like Fergusson or Hanson can see into him whatever they want to see. Hanson sees him as a peacemaker isolationist, Fergusson sees him as the Casear, who will push the borders of the Empire to the infinite, no matter that these views are totally contradictory, since noone really knows what Donald Trump will do, they can both interpret their hopes into him. He promises everybody everything, he promise Israelis palestine, palestinians Israel, and both group thinks that he is lying to the other side and telling his true intentions to them. The real question how these academics became so desperate to give up basic reasoning for blind faith. I mean Fergusson's career as an objective observer and not a partisan hack is kinda already gone, when he betted that Trump is not a threat to constitution, and Trump in his very first day attacked the birthright citizenship.

Its not that easy to put back in the faith which was lost in 30 years you know. First the Turks are fed up, because they realized, that even is they become the most liberal of liberal democracies, they will never be part of Europe, well, because they are a muslim country, and to everyone's biggest suprise the liberals of the liberals dont really like non white muslim people, and it would be hard to explain to the Hungarians, how come, that all the 3 major European wars happened in our borders, and there is not a single NATO soldier stationed here, because the 10.000 strong US expeditionary force is defending Germany from the wrath of the Danes! Or Belgium, or Switzerland, or whatever grave danger lurking around Western Europe. If you ask the question why any random Hungarians burst out laughing when they hear about NATO, thats because it sounds as a joke to us. But they are defending us. From Germany. We should be grateful for the USA. As well as we should be grateful for the Marshall plan. Which we received nothing of. And that they liberated us from Hitler. Which the Russians did. Or they protected us from the Russians. To whom they given our country in Yalta. And we should remember 56. When they didnt come. So we should give Ukrainians what we got back then. Which we give more. Turns ot the greatest thing we should be grateful to the Americans, is that we got the opportunity to fight and die against terrorists in Afghanistan, which even the Soviet Union didnt dare to ask us to do.

Lol we already have the protests in Hungary. US is attacking on two fronts, they try to inflate the teacher's strike movement, but in the case it wouldnt work, there is a chinese company who wants to build a battery factory in Hungary, and they collected everyone from the greens to the racist bigots into one umbrella again, to destroy it. We have a nice little periodical called 444, or as some of us calls it the voice of Washington, funded by NED, and the usual guys, whoever they paint the crosshairs tends to be the new general direction of attack. We really like the Americans, but we know, that they have no military or business interests around here, thats acceptable for us, but we wont give up our wealth for beautiful words.

@missourimongoose8858 No dear lets be factual, there are 80 million Americans who think like you, and 75 million Americans who think that your side are actual fascists. So there are no "we Americans think", because half of your nation doesnt think what you think. Those are the hard facts. As for me please dont project to me your thoughts. I think both of you have their points. The 80 million is right on that America is not obliged to defend Europe. the 75 million is right on the point that if Europe becomes actually independent, it will ask its seat near the world affairs table, and America will have a way harder time to push through its will. You think that you can keep all the goodies, being the world hegemon, while not contributing, realistically that wont be the case, europe will go for an economic policy which serves its interests, because thats the logical thing to do, not to keep US dollars, and fuelling US economy, those are beneficial if America is our guaranteur. The choice is yours, but you dont have much time, startegic ambiguity doesnt work in an alliance.

@DarkRoomAmbience Which contracts shall I ask, those contracts which are covered by European taxpayers money? I think those can be traded for internal projects. I heard about those contracts before, it was the honeypot during the Iraq invasion, and we all know, that people are fleeing that country, the Poles and the Brits, who were so proudly presented their tank bataillons there now say, that they have no obligations for that misery. But thats not the main problem. We have stagflation, crazy sanctions, covid relief plans, energy crisis, so from where the hell we will get 750 billion euro to rebuild Ukraine? Nowhere, it is a big fucking lie, our politicians should never tell to them, because we will hear that back again and again. They must make it absolutely clear, that watever infracstructure they lose, won't be rebuilt in a decade or so, they will be pushed to terrible poverty if they continue. If they loose territory, it is not a problem, those are contested lands, and there is exactly a zero chance, that the can enter NATO or the EU as long as they have those and not resolving their problems with the russians. The 0th requirement of European integration is to put away your quarrels with your neighbors, if we would give that up, war would break out in a day. Yep Im from Hungary, my country lost 60% of its territory 100 years ago, so I have absolutely no tolerance for this territorial integrity bullshit. Everyone knows, that Sevastopol and Crimea is a main russian fleetbase, everyone knows, that the Donetsk gets serious local support, and whoever can read between the lines, and hear ukrainians constantly bragging about "traitors" know, that the contested lands are not so united under Zelensky, or the Kiev regime. If these are practically russian lands then either work with the local population, or give them up, thats the solution.

@soreeyez Russians and Ukrainians are the SAME people, seriously. They own Europe's 1st and 2nd largest countries respectively yet they still cry about how everyone wants to steal from them, and threaten their neighbours with invasions on a daily basis. But that doesnt change the fact, that Hungary's neighbour is not Russia but Ukraine, Hungary is not threatened by Russia, but Ukraine. We could respond to these threats by sending our military to the Ukrainian border, and even if we dont cross, that would be a huge blow to the Ukrainian military, but we let them alone, but thats the most which they can get from Hungarians militarily speaking. EU is not militaristic but uneducated and westerners are led by a bunch of slavic genocidals werewolves from the baltics who want to kill everything russian, and we, as enlightened people really dont like that.

@cristiangaban960 You are very wrong if you try to defend Georgia in Hungary. They started it by shelling Ossetian cities, and killing ossetian minorities. And Ossetians are a brother nation to Hungary, they are kins to the Jasz people. Oh BTW, as far as I remember, when Spain invaded Catalonia with tanks, because of their independence wish EU did nothing except arresting Catalonian prime minister in Brussels. Because suprise EU does exactly NOTHING for minority rights, which are basic human rights meanwhile they are bragging constantly about LGBTQ+ BS. Its not angering because of gay people, its angering because EU pretends that everything is allright meanwhile Estonian prime minister can say, that she would sleep better if russian ethnics in her country would be wiped, slovaks can strip ethnic Hungarians from their belongings based on a barbaric law, romanians can get away by stealing all the money from Ardea region where ethnic majority Hungarians are living, Greeks can play their supranational BS against Macedonians based on a 1000 years old legend, and supress their minorities, together with France and Italy. Want to be seen as enlighened people then behave like one, and not push the rubbish under the carpet, but take sides on these issues. BTW what is this double standard, that Chechens and Kosovars can decide about their belongings, meanwhile Crimean Russians cant.

I was here laughing at him, when he was the shining star of the democrats. Simply because 90% of what he is saying is either doesnt make any technical sense, overpriced, or outright dangerous, I mean some people literally died in his cars, because they believed in this autopilot BS. Yeah we all know, that small businesses sometimes have to oversell to stay alive, everybody did that, but now the game has changed for Musk and his gigacorporations. Regarding Twitter I only have some problems about how he handled the technical staff, he fired lots of good coders, who contributed not just to twitter but to the coding community as well. @pablorages1241

@heigohausenberg4949 Well, I tell you, the British are actually a worse colonial power, than the Russians. Just look what they did in North Ireland, or Las Malvinas. Sure when it suits their interest they say national sovereignty matters, when it suits them otherwise, then they reference local population. And they are clearly out to fuck up the EU, as they always did. For two centuries in every single european conflict they tricked us against each other, switched sides faster than their troops arrived back from the battlefield. They are the actual enemy. With Russia it was always clear for everyone what lines not to cross. Those are not clear lines with the British, because they want a fragmented, war torn Europe, where they can be bossing around from their pathetic island again. Guess, who started the drumming in this war first.

lol America this America that, prof Mearsheimer, do you know what will happen if the G7 joins up China? America will have no other choice than to comply, because then 75% of the world econmy stands against 25% of the world economy. Chinese would love the Euro as the world's reserve currency, because they dont want the yuan to be as strong of a currency to hamper their exports, while Europe is not a challenger to them. Also 40% of the shares in all american comapnies held by foreigners mainly Europeans, and the EU would actually love if that money would come back to Europe. Trump will be a disaster for the China containment policy if he antagonize Europe, and I would argue he will be even more disatrous to Israel, if the situation will be poisoned and Europe dedollarize. That means straight out deals with the Saudis at the best case, and Iran at the worst case to accept Euro for oil. If Iran get security guarantees from Russia and Europe, thats game over, period. Not even because of the military implications, but because the collapse of the secondary sanction system. From that onward everybody would straight out laugh at America's face whenever they tell, they wont trade with a country who trades with a country they put on their sanction list. Its vital to trade with the US as long as they own the "gold standards", its only a good to have if theres an alternative. Harris could have pulled it off, if the Europeans see Trumpism as a permanent threat, they will look after their interests.

Its not that age matters its simply that boomers clinging desperately to their power just to have a final gobbling before they go out and everything collapses in the world. They were always called the "me" generation, because it was always everything about them, when they were hippies it served their purpose, because they were poor, then when they got the money they became reaganites to keep it, now they are fighting for their pensions. They talk like they are the great generation, but they actually arent, they didnt fight for their country on the contrary, they were the ones who got rid of the drafting, so that they secured their personal safety, and now they want the youngsters with diminishing wages bleak prospects to fight for them.

There are the ones who hate Israel, because of ethnic issues, and there are those people, who hate Israel, because Israel is no better than any other Middle Eastern country, yet they are armed up to the teeth with western weaponry and aid to suport their quasi criminal activities, and some jews hate Israel, because they are taken Israeli for granted by the Israeli government, while they dont support them, and feel themselves simply Americans, some Israeli Americans simply hate Netanyahu, because he is a dictator, who assasinated Yitzak Rabin, and have a quiet terror on the israeli leftwing. So Israel is a huge issue.

Lol the commonwealth, as you call it was in tatters, and they dont even get the beating from the Germans but the Japs. They captured Malaysia and Singapore in a mere 2 month, where there were more British soldiers than the expeditionary forces sent to France, bombed Western Australia, and prepped their battlefleet for an allout invasion in the Coral sea, meanwhile taken Burma by suprise, and even break into India, where the locals were quite sympathetic to their cause. The greatest blow what the Germans could do to the commonwealth, if Rommel would be successful, and cut the Suez canal, in that case, the only member of the Commonwealth, which wouldnt be knocked out from the game would be Canada, but here comes the real question, Chuchill based his calculation that if he lose the British isles he could retreat to Canada and continue the war from there, but I dont know the actual appetite for the Canadians to support a fallen empire on their own blood. Doing the normandian landing was in itself a risky venture, which was near the english shores, doing it through the Atlantic without having a base in Europe is almost impossible.

@disintegrated_circuit No dear, you are sending weapons to other nations, and call it humanitarian aid. That is the real face of USAID. Of course you are doing it for your interests, nothing bad with that, but for god's sake don't call it charity, it is meant to kill people. Sure you appretiate your allies, thatswhy Anthony Blinken wrote a book called Ally versus Ally in 1989, thatswhy you wiretapped all of your allies under the Obama administration, thatswhy you developed Stuxnet, which only compatible with German systems, and thatswhy you blew up NordStream. You really a simpleton if you believe in this US is acting for world balance. US is acting for its own interests, and anyone who crosses her path will have a porblem.

Can you tell me what Europe is? If the Chechens start again their insurrection, then are they Europe or they are not Europe? If the Kazahs start a war with Russia, then are they Europe or arent they Europe? This whole Ukraine thing questions everything, Ukraine is not a memberstate of the European Union, if the EU gives security guarantees to nonmembers, then which countries are included in that. On what terms Europe can declare war, is it unanimous, or is it a majority decision, if it is a majority decision, then those countries who opted out are in war or arent in war. We wont give out blank checkques to foreign powers dragging us into war, these questions have to be crystal clear.

Excellent. Another crazy chicks in politics, who has nothing to do with the army telling us how to wage a war... Where do you get these Baerbocks, Marins, and Kallases from? You should focus on what you are good at, being drunk in a party and getting laid, and leave these matters to professionals! If you would be as tough as you like to throw away other people's life, you would show your military rank sweetie, because noone will follow your commands, even if you cry loudly... You are nobodies, who are laughed at, you have no respect from the people whom you would command. If you would think that Europe is in danger, you would all resign and put qualified personnel into your positions, whom the privates actually trust.

Its cute that you think they are interested in the Russian side of things. They rarely do, they have their western experts who tell them what to think about certain things. There are some fellas, who are genuinely interested like James Oberg, but they fly themselves to Moscow and search the archives, most of them simply use whatever a british or american dude wrote before them, who most likely got his informations from a CIA pamphlet circulating around during the Cold War. Dont mistake me Oberg is an incredibly unreliable source, who takes things absolutely personal, which harms his objectivity, and spread a lot of BS when it fits his purpose, so he is not a saint either, but on the positive side he at least took the effort to check the original sources.

Really Rolf? You started WWII yet you werent under Soviet occupation, and you tell us Hungarians who is a parasitic country? What did you do in 1956? You sat on your ases, and let the Russians to occupy the country, yet you give us lectures how should we follow your charge to Stalingrad. You know what Rolf we were at Stalingrad once with you, and we promised, that we will NEVER go back with you, because Rolf your leaders are love to talk big, but they arent delivering when they have to defeat Russia, even worse Rolf we have to pay for your mistakes, we learned that lesson when your granddady played Call of Duty on the streets of Budapest to defend Vienna. We just repaired the last bulletholes in the walls of our buildings 5 years ago, and want peace for at least 50 years. Thats about it Rolf. You have literally nothing to offer which would worth the effort.

Its not that they are popular, its that you are unpopular. Not that you werent warned DW that you dont represent european interests with the Michael Walkers at your helm... didnt you hear about Brexit? Not that we chose them to quit, but those actions should have consequences, especially that we dont like a British media pundits running European media. Sorry but facts are facts they are out, and wont be trusted until they join back. End of story. And your stance on Ukraine is straight out delusional. Ok Europe supports them but not at the cost of going down the drain. If we would have listened to you there wouldnt be a single weapon left in Europe all of those would be burning in Ukraine, Americans would invade Greenland, and we could do nothing about it. We listened for three years that zelensky only accepts peace if they regain Crimea, ok I have no objection if they have the force, but that shouldnt be the European position, because its totally unrealistic. Now you changed the tune, and pretend that it had never happened, but it did. You would have made europe entirely dependent on gas transits from Trump, who would use that as a weapon in his dealings, straight out bullying anyone who dared not to enslave themselves to the Americans. I respect the Polish and Baltic position, but they are just that the Polish and Baltic position, not the official policy of 30 countries in the continent.

Lol, Romans were lucky they didnt say it to Alexander, that they would defeat him, because he would go way out of his way to prove them wrong. There was a local tribe living in the Zagros mountains which even the Persians never managed to capture, he solely led a military campaign against them, because he heard they are invincible. He went after the Sogdians into their cliff camp, because their envoy told them he could conquer them if he learns to fly, so he selected a bunch of rock climbers and personally led them up into the cliff. His men would follow him into the hell, because he always personally lead the line leading them through impossible terrains, to gain strategic advantage. The Indian massacre wasnt actually ordered by him, he climbed the wall of Multan with 3 of his companions and got an arrow into his lung, everybody thought he will die there. His troops started panicking that they wont get out of India without him, stormed the fortress, and made a bloodbath. He got more potentially mortal wounds during his campaigns than any other leader, and still died at home.

Lol, do you know my dear western friends, that in Norway you are literally training revolutionaries to topple governments all around the world, COMINTERN style, in an event called Oslo Freedom Forum, and sponsored by USAID and National Endowment for Democracy, which are, well lets face it CIA front organizations? Im not joking or exaggregating, thats exactly the claim of the BBC. And for your suprise one of the participants was no other but the Georgian opposition leader. Can we tell after this, that he is on your payroll, or is it overaggregation?

Well I could ask, if NASA believes for a moment, that Starship will ever make it to the Moon, then why do they build SLS at all... Of course its convenient, if they think Starship will fail, then the blame is shifted from their side to Musks side, without actually having to finance a costly Moon operation. Meanwhile Mr Taxpayer can undercut the launch market prices for conventional satellite launches, while getting some firework show. Everybody gets what they want out of the deal. The Chinese also dont want to go to the Moon, their biggest rocket is nowhere hear the power requirement to do that, so they would have to design a new BFR, try it doing Lunar flybys all before 2030. Wont happen.

So my 50 cents. This movie is quite okay, it is not as good, as it is marketed, but certainly an improvement over Top Gun. Cruise does well what he is good in, this self ironic character. I would say I had some minor problems with it until the final part, which kinda ruined it. So there is no point to have normal jets and scramjet independently in an aeroplane, The point of scramjet is that it can operate even on low speed regimes, so a nromal jet would be dead weight. He wants to do a Mach 10 to impress the pentagon which is alright, but if he wants to make his best effort he wouldn't put the jet in an ascending turn, because he would crazily lose speed by that, and put extra stress on the plane he would dive in a straight line to gain extra speed. Actually I should give Cruise a + because he is the only one from his incompetent followers, who actually know, thet the internal speed measurement, of an aeroplane is not precise enough to go for exactly 10 mach, he has to do more to be certain. And I have a strong gut feeling, that catapulting in a hypersonic flight means an insta kill, so the flight of Superman wouldn't look as cool as to watch Mr Cruise's flight out of a shattering plane at 10 mach. By the way Ed Harris was right about the drones, but for the wrong reason. If we talk about these hypersonic speeds, then it is evident, that this plane could do such maneuvers easily, what would exceed the G tolerance of any living humans, so to have a fighter jet pilot in the pilot's seat is a heavy underutilization of its capabilities. As we informed, the airframe fo F-18 is heavily deformed by a bombing run, but he regularly makes Pugachev's Cobra maneuver without any problem, which would put even more extreme stress to the airframe. The killing of the nuclear installation was a little bit to starwarsey for me, but ok its a nod. Besides the whole mission could be done more easily with some tomahawk missiles, those can fly under radar, and don't need GPS, just a terrain photo to identify their target. But instead of cruise missiles we get Cruise with missiles. Using chaffes against most of these kind of AA rockets is utterly pointless, as these are mainly radar guided missiles, and even if chaffes would work, these don't need a direct contact with the plane to kill it, they just detonate in the vincinity of the plane and the fragment shatter the jet into pieces. Besides to trick out a rocket requires heavy maneuvering, if the pilot continues in a straight line, the rocket would lock on him a second later. So these were the forgivable stuff, and I would say if Maverick would die when he was shot down, then it would be an almost perfect movie, but what comes next is really jumping the shark. So there is no chance, that an F-14 can liftoff from a smaller field than a carrier, where it additionally gets headwind, and assisted by a steam catapult. They supposed to fight 5 gen stealth fighters, by their lookalike they look Sukhoi 57-s, yet even the F-18-s have less problem to hide from radar than these planes. Ok they are not completely invisible, but they would know if an AWACS is watching them, and try to hide from it. But according to this movie, while Maveric and son can see a 5th gen fighter on their radar, but a 5th gen fighter cannot see, that Captain America, or who was that other guy, is incoming, in his radar. Besides these again would not use IR rockets to kill MAverick, but radar guided missiles fired from a great distance. And yes, there is a theoretical possibility to shoot down these with an F-14, even without retrofitting it but thats as slight as to shoot down a WWII spitfire with a WWI Red Baron. Even if we take that fact away, F14 is actually less maneuverable in low speed regimes than the Sukhoi, it was even when these planes were really in one league, so to go into dogfight with it is alone a suicidal act. Balls of steel doesn't subtitute simple physics. But overall the movie was kinda good. Maybe it was just me, expecting more because of the overhype. The Right Stuff is still better if you ask me. 6/10.

Jalopnik had an article about the Tesla semi and roadster event, what you like to refer to:
From Q1 2017 through Q1 2018, Tesla was losing $7,430 per minute. The company was just figuring out how to get Model 3 production up and running, and that cost a whole lot of money. Elon Musk admitted that the company was “less than a month from bankruptcy” at the time. If you’re a company in dire straits, and cash is key to your survival, you’ll do anything to get your hands on some, right? Would you make up some specs about some new products and pass a hat around the room to get some “deposits” for your wildly unrealistic promises?
The Tesla Semi event, at which the Roadster was launched, might have been the turning point for the company. Rather than selling off some of his ownership of the company, Musk sold promises at $250,000 a piece, and has yet to honor them. Tesla had a Kickstarter campaign, and it’s not delivering perks. That quarter billion just for the Founders Edition cars probably helped the company quite a bit, and there’s no telling how many $50,000 deposits the company got and still holds. Much the same way Starbucks isn’t really a coffee company, Tesla isn’t really a car company.

@omi685 Lol dear, by some miracle we got those territories, which means they are not unconquerable. For example now we have an excellent opportunity to take back the stuff we lost to the Soviets. As the saying goes you eat the elephant bit by bit. Luck is changing. Besides its not you, who are crying, that we should align with Russia? Well, they are kinda strong, you know, and the last thing you want is a huge corridor between the Russians and the Serbs, because you know on first round it means bye bye Kosovo and Bosnia, and maybe we get something in return as well. Yeah the NATO, which has as many enemies around the world, you cant even decide who to fight first. Yeah that means, that you will either clowning around China, or China would be in in Europe with support so that NATO cant clown around in China, but the result is kindof the same. And we didnt even talk about your little games with Turkey, well, if they are in as well, the space vacuum would feel as deep ocean of how isolated Romania would become, because neither road nor sea would lead there through friendly territory, they could starve or give in on any demand. And those were the hard picks Slovakia under any circumstances took us 3 to 7 days regularly, when they actually have a military which they donated to the ukries. BTW that would be the very first country which is a NATO member, and officially attacked. So be careful what you wish for, you may get it, chances arent as grim as you would like to see. But not going that far, if Russia manages to close on these countries, they will shit their pants as they usually do, and become way more manageable. It is even possible, that Romanians turn coats again, as they usually do, and we will be allies, as we usually are and Im quite sure Czechs and Slovaks will find their soviet lover panslavic inner self sooner or later. The only ones who you can trust from this branch are the Poles, they wont switch, but fortunately we dont have any problems or territorial claims on them.

Well, dear mr Ayalon, if you dont like your government you should remove it, THEN we will believe your words.
And yes we can tell you exactly what you must do, from an idealistic perspective is because there are international laws, which Israel must obey, as any other country in the world, from a realistic perspective we give you the money and the weapons to make your military, so we have cards in the game, which we can withdraw anytime.
About your last sentence about the people who see your point and the Palestinian point in the wonderful cities of London and America, maybe you know, that if anyone in those wonderful places dares to speak up against the atrocities comitted by your country, they are labeled by your government sponsored foreign agencies as antisemites, targeted with hate campaigns, maybe you know, that your leader despises the UN general assembly on a regular basis, that your ambassador to the UN does things there and have hate speeches, which would leave the table hitting Kruschev speechless, that the people who represent your country to us constantly behaves as they can trick out world oppinion by making cross trickery with superpowers in order to get away with unacceptable things your state makes.
And finally we have some doubts about your great democracy, when a person like Netanyahu can survive any kind of political storm, and reign there for decades, while his criminal activities are in full open.

@emilsinclair4190 After countless wars fought on the Middle East by western government noone with a sane mind really thinks this as a valid reason. Yep there are wars all over the world, but seriously, your country don't trade with Israel because they are fucking with the palestinians? You have sanctions against the USA because it started multiple wars without UN approval? Yor country doesn't buy batteries because those are mined with slave labour in Kongo? There is no moral high ground on this topic, not a single one, but to differentiate the ukrainians because they are white europeans is kinda baltantly racist. And if we are talking about moral liabilities, then we are responsible for the afghans and iraqis, because we fucked up their countries, and not the ukrainians, because russians fucking up their countries. But it works otherwise, we deport those, whose fathers were killed by our military, and support those, whose fathers were killed by another military.

Europe can wait a few years more. I doubt Putin can maintain Russian economy thatlong, and we can give Ukraine enough to keep them in the game. If they run out of money, they will leave Ukraine, not just that, Russia will break up. Wonder if the Chinese will continue to back Russia, if Trump signs a deal with Russia to retreat from their alliance... they can very easily find themselves between the hammer and the anvil. Would the US pay for Russia so it can continue its war against Ukraine? Not likely. Putin needs this deal more than Europe, if he doesnt get it, then he will face a dire situation, where he have to choose between Trump and Xi, and neither of those choices will benefit him, because he will make one of them a powerful enemy.

The problem with liberals in the firstplace is that they think they are determined to rule the political landscape, we know that since Fukuyama. They borrowed that idea from the Communist Manifesto. Now reality is, if they retreat they just give up the narrative space to Trump and his lunatics. They will never be missed, because there will be constantly an internal enemy on whom Trump can blame the hardships. The transpeople, the WEF, the liberal elites acting against the country, you name it, they will deliver it. And the general populace will buy into it, because the other side is silent, or engaged in bothsidesism, people will just see them as sellouts who want to gain donormoney and live in their granted congressional seats in Washington instead of fighting for them...

Well the US is interpretting international law quite liberally so to speak. So lets see what the Geneve convention says about this problem with a Russian Ukrainian example instead of Israel Palestine just to make it universal. So lets say Putin captures Kiyiv, and he sends there 1 million settlers. Lets say Ukrainians recapture Kiyiv. Waht should they do with the settlers who occupied Ukrainian flats, which their original occupants most likely want back? To disencourage such tricks in combat, sending settlers into an occupied zone qualifies as a warcrime. The settlers themselves are not considered as civilians, but comabattants, who could be detained into POW camps according to the general rules of warfare. Settlers posessions can be seized, and themselves can be deported at any convenient time without any reprecussion. So so called Israeli civilian hostages are neither civilians, nor hostages, but by legal definition prisoners of war, since they were caught in an official warzone, in a territory, which noone recognizes as part of Israel, who could be detained until an agreement is made on them, or the conflict officially terminates.

Some of your food is banned in Europe dear Americans, because it contains additives, which provenly cause cancer, your politicians know about it, yet they do nothing about it. Look at the Swasticar, man, thats a roadtank, it is not only dangerous to the pedestrians, but to the drivers themselves, if it collides theres no dampening, it will kill the driver instantly, it has electirc doors and bulletproof windows, if a batterry fire breaks out, its literally an oven without escape. We dont let such cars into our roads, if we want to lower our safety standards we could just buy dirtcheap chinese deathtrap EVs.

Lol I wouldnt put a single one of these movies into a top 5 list. Spielberg's absolute greatest historical movie is by any regards Munich, Schindler's list was posch, not a single word of it is true, there were enormous amount of corruption around the list, neither Schindler nor the jews helping him wer as good guys as they are portrayed. Saving private Ryan was like a Call of Duty videogame, it was an ok action movie, but there was literally nothing realistic in it, Germans didnt use the lookout posts as machinegun nests, since those were the obvious targets for the Navy, soldiers didnt just run around on the beach in machinegun fire, they crawled for hours, the ditch wasnt a ditch but a tank obstacle, well defended, they had to fight for that too. Im a fan of ancient Rome and found Gladiator a great disappointment, Scott made way better historical movies, Kingdom of Heaven comes into my mind, that wasnt entirely historically correct, but got the zeitgeist right. Last of the Mohicans, seriously? You dont say this was voted by an American audience without saying that it was voted by an American audience, Im a little bit thankfult that Braveheart didnt make it to the list so give it a pass. Apollo 13 was allright, although I wouldnt put it into an all times greatest list.

Well, we have a lot of free market praising people, some of them like to reference Adam Smith, the founder of the moder economics theory, but it seems noone has read his book, which literally starts on lamenting why does it worth it to Scottish smugglers to trade with Napoleonic France, when there is a Governement sanction reinforced by death penalty, and concludes, that supply and demand rules the trade. What you reference to is the very basic building block of capitalism and human nature. Even the Soviets did it, NASA literally went to the moon on Russian titanium. Thatswhy there wont be any encapsulation, even if politicians want it, because it would be like swimming against the current, whoever tries it sinks. @inzhener2007

Just explain me one thing Ivan, because I don't get it. How is it possible, that Ukraine, who manufactured the Zenith orbital rocket 10 years ago, and launched satellites with them cant make their own goddamn ballistic missiles shoot to 300 kliks? How come, that the country, which manufactured the biggest goddamn transport plane in the world cant produce a frigin fighterjet? How is it possible, that the second biggest country in Europe has to cry to Switzerland, a little flycrp on a map to produce arti shells for them? You rolled S-300's down from production lines 30 years ago, like if they were candies, and you have to cry for crappy NASAMS? Where is your fking industry? We really need to turn Europe into war economy, because you cant produce anything else than sunflower oil anymore? Who is responsible for all of this? Let me guess, Poroshenko and Zelensky. And you wonder why some people want back the Soviet times, when Ukraine was an industrial state.

OK, so the problem as I see from the comments, is that our Polish friends dont understand the rules of the bigboy club, where the British the French and the Americans want them. The rules of the bigboy club is that there are no rules in the bigboy club, except that if another bigboy hits you you hit back twice as hard, or face the consequences. There are no international laws, agreements, allies, daddy America comes in and saves the day, nothing except raw power there, but the bright side is the toddler club will pretend that anything you do is right as long as they think you are useful to them. If you accept an advice form a state which is in Europe for 1100 years, if I would be Poland, my first batch of 50 nuclears would have already came down from the production line.

@olivers.7821 Well you actually know that in 1992 half a year after Ukraine born, the Krimean autonomous region's parliament declared their wish for independence and wanted to hold a referendum about it, but ukrainian military moved in and crushed the rebellion. The western people are so naive that they believe an ultranationalist Ukraine is so much better than Putin's little world, they are democratic, because they ousted the russian puppet guy, but we are neighbours with them, we know, that these are the same kind of people, and your problems with Hungary will be nothing compared to if you take them in now. Even if Russia wouldn't exists that country would be on the verge of a civil war and collapse, simply because the nationalities there can't tolerate eachother, rather trying to gain an upper hand against eachother and form a homogeneous nation state which only can be achieved by violence and genocide.

Well, maybe he wasnt entirely mad, but he was pretty much an idiot. Going into war against Britain and the US was an absolute blunder strategy. Even if he would have actually won against the USSR, he would still not having the naval power to win against those. The German navy was virtually nonexistent in 1939, and never ever really had the capacity to wage war on naval powers. The fact remains, that even if he could stretch the wehrmacht as far as the British Empire, a naval force and marines could pretty much deploy at any part of his territory. The bigger it is the less defendable it becomes. Besides the facts, that he could kiss the ases of the french so they didnt marched up to Berlin when virtually all of his combat troops were in Poland, and didnt end WWII in a mere month. It was a lost cause from the getgo. Yeah maybe if he could get his hands on the French fleet, if the British throw in the towel, if the Americans dont join, or if they dont care about Poland or the USSR anymore then Germany could get away with it, but those are too many ifs for a really rational thinking.A really sane and calculating person does not roll the dice on his country as many times as Hitler did. Besides the fact that he used up necessary material and troops for complete vanity projects like the Holocaust, especially when he really needed those the worst, and he literally wanted to destroy his country when he deemed them inferior.

We dont give that frozen Russian money to Ukraine for weapons Jessica, because we will give that money to them for rebuilding. Seriously what do you think what Europe is a bottomless piggybank? Wont you cry us a river, when this war ends, Ukrainians are sitting in the middle of an ungovernable country where all of the powerplants are down, all of the industry is in ruins, that there is a humanitarian catastrophe? I tell you that Putin's hybrid warfare will be very effective when people start dying in poverty in Ukraine. They are literally in a lifeline from Europe, we pay their pensions, their industry everything, so from what should we pay these expenses? Sooner than later they have to have a working economy, and you are suggsting taht we should give them more destructive power to demolish even more industry and infrastructure, taking up trillions on loans and give them, while AfD and the far right is looming under your garden, and Europe is in a recession. No they wont get those trillions, because those governments which would give them those trillions simply wont exists. Giving them money for weapons is like giving booze to an alcoholic.

Lol no you couldnt kick out anyone, because you are a nothing, you do what the US and Russia lets you to do, otherwise you will be a 1 million nation with a shtton of enemies around you, and you can cry a river in the UN if you got invaded, noone will listen. You absolutely misunderstand your position and think that because the Czechs could do it with the support of the allies, against an absolutely defeated nation you can do it against a nuclear power, no dear, you dont have the power to do it. If theres no separatism in Latvia, you have no fear from Russia, they wont invade if they cant stir up some local trouble, however if they can, then your best protection is if you didnt provoke them prior. If you played the bigguy, and got invaded then that will be an excellent opportunity for everyone to betray their alliance with LAtvia and pointing fingers at you. @karliskokorevics6902

@balung They did not invade Tibet my dear, the dalai lamas were so busy to kill each other, so the tibetans specifically asked for Chinese political control in the 17. century, and that was perfectly OK for them until 1900, when the Brits invented this idea to form a separate country, but they were under Chinese political control back then. They only had one really independent leader, the current Dalai lama, which lasted for 15 years, and even he admitted, that Tibet should be controlled by the Chinese, and only asked religious autonomy. It wasn't wise, that he was expelled, but thats a different story.

Yeah, definitely those will never ever climb down on a lava cave unlike a real scientist. Heck NASA has flown at least 5 of those and still cant answer the question why the Martian surface is so oxisidized, which is pretty obvious since its a red planet. Was it abiologic, if so how the free oxygen was generated, can we somehow replicate the process, or there were cyanobacteria, like in earth, but then why dont we find the fossils. We know way more about the Moon thanks to the astronauts who took their geology classes seriously, and the geologist, because they picked up the rigth rocks, and brought those back. @alexturnbackthearmy1907

@Nebrox They need conscription because the Ukrainian military was at least 800.000 strong, they can't protect their flanks with 100.000 people. This figure is actually from the MOSSAD, but it coincides with the Meduza reports which details their casualties down to military districts, and coincides with the attrition calculations of the Washington post, so these numbers are actually double checked, and logical. They literally retreat from any situation where they could lose a high amount of manpower, while constantly shelling the Ukrainians from afar. They could be routed, but Ukrainians missed two opportunities, once when their recon units closed on Severodonetsk, but they chose to go for north during the Khakhov offensive, and second time, when they let them slip away in the Kherson offensive. Those were grave mistakes from the Ukrainians, if they would exploited those situations, there wouldn't be any fight for Bakhmut, and Russinas wouldn't be in a position near the Dnyieper shore.

@joansparky4439 I made some calculations for that. The surface area between N ans S lat 42 is roughly 341335277,46 km2
Approx 6681 million human living between. if we take an average that the pop-s 56,2% lives in cities, and the whole surface area of those cities in the world is 3,5 million km2, then I suppose, that the urban surface area between these latitudes would be arond 3 million km2. That gives 1:110 chance, that the debris will actually hit a city. If we consider the rest of the population except maybe 1% cave dwellers and travellers lives in villages with an average pop of 200 residents/km2, that gives 14 million km2 of village space and 1/23 chance that it will hit a village. BUT, this thing wont be as fast as you would expect. It will possibly impact with 200-300 km/h terminal velocity in smaller pieces, which possibly damage a building, but not necessarily kill the occupants. So the 1 m2 i would say is a correct guess. Now if we give that a city is certainly struck and everyone is outside in the harms way, with 1220 ppl/km2 given fro the urban area a pop we counted to it, the chance, that the debris will directly struck someone is 1:839, so the overall chance, tha a city resident is killed 1:110x1:839= 1:90000. A village resident with pop density os 200ppl/km2 have 1:5000 chance, that he will be directly struck that gives the overall chance that a villager is killed 1/23x1:5000=1:115000. The overall chance that someone is stuck and killed either in a city or a village, in worst case scenario is 1:50000. There is a quite high chance of 1/19 however, that somebody's property will be damaged.

Yeah, thats the problem with libs. They move out of their countries, and waiting for Santa Claus to tidy up their country, so in the end they can ride back on the whitehorse as saviours, instead of organizing the resistance... of course they declare the people who actually organized the reistance as radicals and dangerous elements, who shouldnt be in power, and making deals with the seven bankers instead, because you know thats how the realist world works. Then after the corrupt asholes nosedive the country, libs decide, that its better to have a strong leader who keeps at least order, and the whole thing is rinse and repeat. Just say that you are not a Russian anymore and cut the BS... There saying in my country. Who has gone is gone....

I remember how did it all started. The Georgian legion was the literal starting point, with its leader Mamouka Mamoulasvili, who started his military career as a 15 years old, when he accompanied his father for some manhunting against the Abkhaz rebels. He showed up half a year before the Euromaidan protests in Ukraine, and from that point on took part in the fight against Russians, where they became famous of their not taking prisoners approach to the point where the military leadership staright out refused him to allow his regular blogposts about some of the techniques they used to get rid of them. This unit was filled from january unofficially with American and British rangers and paratroopers before the war started. One of them Jason Haigh was directed to the airfield of Gostomel, where after the Russian assault was caught by the Ukrainian intelligence and falsely identified as a Russian saboteur, ended his miseries in earth. Then there were maybe 30.000 foreign fighters went through the border on the first week or so to fight. Ukraine concentrated them in a camping complex near Lviv, to integrate them into new units, which the Russians somehow sniffed out. They used 30 Kalibr missiles against the camp, which insta killed 3000 of them, 20.000 ran back to Poland, and 7000 remained. Most of the remaining troops made their own companies like the Normann brigade, which was named after a half crazy guy Hrulff, a french Canadian who was living with his Ukrainian mistress in the middle of a yurt, and hunted the Russians from a horseback with an AK, and didnt even tolerate AFU units in his small kingdom. Then Ukrainians decided they dont like these ragtag units roaming the countryside, and organized the international legion, but unfortunately gave the command to a Polish maffia boss, who was living in Ukraine under disguise for a decade, who straight out taxed the fighters, took every equipment they had and put it into a common armory, from where it was never retrievable. His little kingdom came to an end, when he used the legion to break into a furniture shop in Severodonetsk, and take everything they found there to his warehouse. During the battle of Bakhmut some westerners showed up, like the Wolverines, whom we dont know too much, and the Mozart group, som tributary to Wagner, whch was lead by Colonel Milburn, and ex Marine. They were pretty well financed, since they got somewhat 700 k/month, and had big parties, where the Colonel liked to explain under the influence of some narcotics, that meanwhile he hates Azov and Zelensky with a passion, but what the Russians are doing is not good, so he has to fight. His befall was attributed when he went out with a few bottles of whiskey and a camera into the middle of the battle of Bakhmut, where he in a very drunken mood called out Zaluzhny and Zelensky about the lies they are spreading after which he was immediately dismissed from duty. Around thistime Soldier X came into knowledge, an australian intel specialist, who talked to some western blogs, about that Wagner actually know what they are doing, and they use squad level tactics with teams up to 5 with heavy drone coverage, not some general meatwave attacks, as the media portrayed it , and the average life expectancy of his soldiers is around 4 hoursafter which a manhunt started after him initiated by the Ukrainian intelligence, leaving him the option to seek refuge in the US embassy before evced from the country.

I dont think he needs to. European leadership wants to make Europe entirely dependent on America, which is not only subservience, but costs a ton to European citizens. Why would Belarus join that? BTW american news is full of Trump intimidating the Danish prime minister, which is Dictatorial Welle doesnt even dare to speak about..... Wheres hard as a rock Ursula when americans threatening a n EU member with military intervention? Oh yeah she is trembling under a rock hallucinating about pragmatic relations. Where are your Polish and Baltic buddies crying us a river about European security, and who wanted to demilitarize Europe and send everything to Ukraine? Oh yeah they are counting their dollars and buy hundreds more American junk. Theres not a single weapon int the Polish military which is not made in the USA. Their foreign minister Sikorsky sent Thank you USA loveletters when "someone" blew up a German pipeline. Where is your Zelensky offering protection to Europe? Oh, he is chilling in Mar a Lago, making BFF with Orange Man, sending Europe video mails to send him more money or else. He sent drone operators to Syria firefighters to America, will he send drone operators to Greenland if the time comes, or he just hides under a rock, because if he doesnt then Ukraine should be an American state not a European state?

The question arises, what do we civilised westerners has to do anything what goes on in the Middle East? When will you learn the lesson, that there are no goodguys there, no not a single country and giving arms to any sides only push us into their moral abyss, while all of the evil in the world using it against us. If we support the Arabs, they go on a genocide, if we support the Israelis, they go on a genocide, the only logical answer is not to support any of them. They want to fight eachother, so be it, make it a weapons free zone or whatever. Guys like this should be evacuated from both sides on the condition, that they wont export their middle eastern problems into our own countries.

Oh man, this literally always happens in wars. I remember the WWII submarine warfare, where there were the prize regulations, where subs in theory showed themselves to civilian ships and asked politely if they can search for their cargo, now of course British started to put hidden weapons on civilian ships , and radios, on which they could alert the warships and airplanes and hunt down the subs. so the prize regulations lasted for two months, before not a single sub risked to show itself to any ship. Then they invented up the idea, that subs after the attack will pick up survivors, and bring them into neutral harbors, in once of those occasions there were 5 subs carriing hundreds of people, they radioed tha allies, not to attack them, Churchill personally ordered the airplanes to bomb the subs and the survivors of his own troops. After that Doenitz personally gave out the order not to ever pick up survivors into submarines. They tried to sentence him at Nurenberg, but then the incident when they bombed hundreds of their own came up, so they dropped the charges, and forgot the whole thing.

Lol while Stalin was absolutely a horrible leader this 100 million starved BS is fabricated by the CIA, it is actually checkably untrue. Even the Ukie famine is to some extent overplayed, and wasnt entirely Stalin's fault, the 1930s see a major meteorological low in the world, in the US half of Oklahoma went totally dry in the dustbowl. I would advise to remain on the Gulag train, not that the tzar didnt have them, but Stalin had them too, and expanded them. Besides that Stalin was objectively a better leader than the tzar, because he won against the Germans while the tzar lost, he modernized Russia, while the tzar made it a backwards country, and both of them were tyrants who used political persecution against dissenters. @Bialy_1

Úgy döntöttem hosszas tanakodás után, hogy most meg kell védenem Puzsért, megvallom őszintén először fordul ez elő. Bár ki nem állhatom, egy tehetségtelen kókler etikatanár, aki szerintem még azt a két könyvet se olvasta el, amit a tanárképző főiskolán el kellett volna, és aki nagyobb pusztítást visz végbe a magyar félművelt prolikban mint a bubópestis, egy két lábon járó Dunning Kruger szindróma aki annál hangosabban üvölti az igazát, minél kevésbé ért egy témához és ő nagyon de nagyon sokmindenhez nem ért, DE és most jön a de, ezegyszer most nem egy gyáva szardarab, nem hátrál ki, hogy tovább szaglászhassa a fingfelhőit, hanem beleáll, ezegyszer állást foglalt, és ebből könnyen kijöhet vesztesként, úgyhogy a megmozdulás tökösségéhez nem fér kétség. Bár nem értek egyet a választásával, és a köréje körített ideológiája is egy nyáladzó debilt győzne csak meg, de tisztelem azért, mert végre egyértelműen oldalt választott, és ellenség lett.

We Hungarians dont provoke the Russians, because we dont entirely trust such pipedreams. The actual fact is, contrary to your spoonfed propaganda, that Russia tends to honour the agreements it holds, if not tried to be tricked. They promised the Finns, that they wont be part of the Warsaw pact, and they honoured that commitment, they promised the Austrians to let them free, and they honoured that commitment too, and if Ukrainians wouldnt want to be members of NATO, they would have all of their territories. Westerners tend to break their promises based on the powerbalances of the time, thatshow Poland went under Soviet leadership, thatshow the NATO expansion started etcetera the list goes to infinity. I think in an active conflict western Europe would be perfectly OK with an Iron Curtain 2.0, so we dont close down our options towards maintainang a modus vivendi with the Russians. Poland ant the Baltics have no choice, the Baltic states are undefendable by conventional forces, although not strategic, Poland is strategic, thatswhere the Eastern European plain is the narrowest between the Baltics and the Carpathians, whoever holds that region is defended from western armies going east or eastern armies going west. We are a mountainrange away, so we have options.

@SCH292 Well, we defended your ass for 1000 years, thatswhy you didnt get the Golden horde or the Turks into your little garden, as jungle Joe put it. But you decided, that you rather want the Romanians and the Slovaks to defend you and gave our natural borders to them, so we are a little bit out of responsibilities right now, and let them to make our duties. No grudges, but we all know, that an army cant be stopped on the Great Hungarian Plain, and we dont have the Carpathian mountains anymore, so thats the end of the story strategically.

America is siphoning out investment money since 2008, its culmination was the actual Inflation Reduction Act, which was an eceonomic warfare against the European Industry. While Britain did austerities, while Merkel played badgirl with Greece Obama threw helicopter money on their economy thatswhy it grew, all at the costs of the entire world, by the dollar dominance. We pay their exorbitant debt which is 140% of their GDP, they will never repay that money, not a single entity would be able to repay thatmuch debt without external help, meanwhile they cry us a river why we dont pay even more for their NATO, well, we dont pay because we need to cut back our own spending to fuel theirs. They freeload 750 billion dollar, their entire defense budget just by backing up the growth of all the foreign countries growth with US dollar. If the world economy grows 1% they can print 1 trillion dollars for free and throw it on the US economy, a money which they didnt deserved, and we obvioulsly want our cut from it. Theres no way Europe can remain a first world contitnent and maintain this abusive relationship, America will just suck us dry. Trump is a gift given by God to Europe to finally pursue independent foreign policy, independent fiscal policy, and there should be no way America return to NATO with the considiton they previously had. I have great respect for the American people, and towards their leaders, but our own survival is more important, than to keep them happy.

@gilh3947 Things dont just happen out of the blue. Everything what made Trump Trump was started under Nixon, perfected under Reagan, and made into fruition under Trump. Reagan was the one, who started to attend CPAC, Rush Limbaugh was the first talkshow host who made Breibart, and Fox spew hating possible, with close ties to the Reagan whitehouse gerrymandering was the norm of the republican political pundits to steal elections, and question results. Reagan destroyed mental care institutions in us waged war on social security as a communist thing, funded illegally at least two wars, which actually werent connected to the Soviets, for which some of his aides were actually jailed, he even had the drop nukes to the hurricane idea, increased the sovereign debt rating of America by 80%, waged war on renewables(Carter put photovoltaic panels on the top of the White House, which Reagan ordered them to be destroyed), fired air traffic controllers during their strike and used military to fill their posts, disbanded the metric system from US education, because it was not patriotic enough for him. Yep, he was pretty much the Donald Trump of the 80s.

Lol no, those nukes are controlled by Moscow anyway, thats what simpletons never gets. Its like if Montana would become a separate state, and claim its nukes, besides the fact, that the warheads only accept arming and detonation sequence codes from the Washington command center. Yes they technically could withdraw their country form the Nuclear nonproliferation treaty, that would mean that according to article 7 the participating 190 countries would be obliged not to form any cooperation on civilian or military nuclear expertise, not to ship nuclear fuel to them, and as long as they produce a shitload of electricity in nuclear powerplanst, while they don't have uranium processing facilities, or uranium mines, they would insta go dark.

@taki3 Hát,mondjuk úgy, hogy Winnie volt a kora 20. század Gyurcsány Ference. Az admiralitás első lordja és a Gallipoli fiaskó megálmodója volt, amiért a hálás brit nép 10 évig partvonalra is tette, aztán visszakúszásra 1929-et választotta,méghozzá mint pénzügyminiszter, közvetlenül a teljes gazdasági összeomlás előtt. Úgy kellett neki egy háború,mint egy falat kenyér,különben mint a leggyűlöltebb angol politikus vonul nyugdíjba, úgyhogy keményvonalas álláspontot vett fel a németekkel szemben, és az bejött. Mondjuk háborús miniszterelnöknek is a lehető legrosszabb választás volt. Roosevelt gyűlölte, Sztálin meg még Hitlerben is jobban megbízott,mint benne, úh tök egyedül is maradt. Ha nincs párszáz repülőgép és a Barbarossa terv, a németek úgy kisöpörték volna a szigetéről, mint a parancsolat...

@DavidSmith-yi8ou Yep, we can do it, and the Russians can use their tactical nukes. So then we spent billions to send them a tank bataillon, which will be wiped out by a 100.000 USD worth of warhead. It was always on the table, in the cold war, when NATO did not have the numbers they did have the Davey Crockett nuke launchers. Lets be realistic, Ukraine cant win this conflict, because Russia is way more devoted to win than we are. I think the only solution is to modify the NATO charter and explicitly state, that it can't go easwards, and in tandem get a promise form Putin, that he won't block Ukraine-s EU membership. That way it won't be NATO sphere of influence, but won't be Russian sphere of influence too, it will be a neutral middleground.

The problem is, that you dont want to tackle corruption, because you dont really know what it really is. Ok lets say that Putin or Orban is corrupt, that they have palaces, which actually EU leaders have too, but lets forget it for a moment. The core problem of corruption, which makes you ineffective, that it costs you 1000 Eur to manufacture the same 155 mm artillery shell that Putin makes for 10 Eur. You see why he is winning? Ok Europe has bigger resource pool, but not thatmuch bigger than how much your cronies and olygarchs actually cost you. Now that is the corruption which is actually problematic, because it hurts production therefore your ability to project power. Of course US and EU politicians dont really care since the money remains in the US and EU ecosystem, but it is a problem, when you cant give enough to your proxies to be effective. Yeah Putin is a corrupt stooge, but he is not that silly to destroy those industries which keep him in power, if they need the weapons then he tells his olygarchs to steal less.

@peterquennellnyc Yeah, we in Europe have "austerities" since the 2008 crysis, it completely wiped our economies, those are direct neoliberal policies. People are really at their breaking points now, thatswhy they are annoyed. If these refugee cryses would happen pre 2008 Europe would handle them entirely differently, but now it is a straight political suicde to any government to take in millions of refugees while they cant deliver to their own countrymen, so now we have to be selective on whom to help. And there are the realities. Maybe in southern europe we could accomodate these people in tents as an emergency measure, but in northern europe they must be housed, that means the government has to rent appartments, that will push rentals up, which makes locals struggling and angry.

@Notpolitical_J Can Ukrainians survive without US weapons? If not then a ceasefire certainly benefitting them.... yes the future is unpredictable, thatswhy cordial relations are a key to survive. This whole Ukrainian Baltics and Polish position, that they will use the USA as their battering ram against Russia is unsustainable, because it is not in the interest of the United States. The United States wants a strong Russia on its side tho isolate China, thats the realpolitik, noone cares about century old feuds in Eastern Europe. If Zelensky would be a clever guy, he would have made peace with Biden, and he would have got the security guarantees what he wanted, but he chose to try his luck, and he rolled the dice. This war will end one way or another, and Ukrainians should better prepare to be friends with Russia, because noone want to pay the exorbitant sums to keep this war rolling.

You Poles never fail to amaze me, that after being too weak and timid to offer peacekeepers to Ukraine, you start to brag about an even bigger military committment... we all know you are bluffing you showed your cards already. I will tell you what will happen if Russia crosses the borders anywhere. All Polish forces will abandon any position abroad and retreat to defend Poland, while crying a river to the Germans, to deal with the liberation of Finland or the Baltics... somewhere along the line you have to leave behind this childish slavic nature of yours, and start acting as adults. Even if you dont like Germans you are nothing without them, and you wont revive the PLC because you lack the economic and military power to do that. So instead of this slavic fratboy club you shoukld go for the European Military project, even if that means hurting American interests, because nothing else guarantees your security and the security of these countries you mentioned. There are three important powers in Eastern Europe, the Germans, the Russians and the Turks. Nobody else! You have to make an alliance with one of them in order to survive.

Well, the whole system is actually against innovation. Americans are greedy over Chinese because they manufacture for less, Chinese want to get every new invention for free, we dont work together, and dont use the best things found around the world, rather pushing certain groups interests ahead. Russians actually have a way better idea for cheap space transport than Musk has, think whatever anyone want, but they are really good in rocket tech, regardless of their military actions, they even have the working engines, yet noone wants to push it forward, and they dont want to share it.

The real problem is not there. Some of the sanctions will have serious impact, but not because russian products at all. When the west started to weaponize monetary systems, they frightened the shit out of any non aligned country as well. From this point on, it is no matter, how big the US economy is, USD simply can't be the world hard currency, because it can be weaponized against anyone. SWIFT cant be the basis of bank transaction, because there is political will behind it. That means that a new system will be created and accepted instead of those, and that is a huge problem, as long as the west is living mostly on of these systems, and building financial capitals.

Well, the reason in a nutcase, why we will never side up with any of our neighbours. Ok Antall made the mistake of giving weapons to the Croats in their civil war, because he was an idiot, he should have given weapons to Croats and Serbs too to kill eachother, but that was the closest and only call. Although Serbs actually have a country and an identity, which is a curious rarity in eastern Europe, only the Poles, the Hungarians the Bulgarians and the Serbs are real nations around, while Croats are the generic slavic nonexisting nation who only stole some Italian cities, and don't even know who they are, and we are pretty sure they will eventually divide further. Nothing personal, but we already seen it in Chocoslivecia, Yoggerslavia and other artificial states without any nationhood, doomed to fail. We don't even care to rewrite their townnames on maps anymore, because it would change name by the time the ink dries, and they don't have such a rich fantasy as Tolkien when they invent up some history for themselves. Ok, they actually somewhat better with their tableware flag, than the other nation founded by none other than Adolph Hitler, the Slovaks, or Slovenes, or I dont know how do they call themselves, because frankly there is no human on the surface of this planet who could differentiate two nations, who call themselves Slovenes, has a red, white blue banner with a triple mountain as coat of arms, and living in stolen hungarian and german cities between the mountains, and their only historic act ever is that they are the only nation in Earth which was specifically forbidden by the UN to use their name outside of their country, because it was occupied by someone else. Yes we get it, that these are slavs, but being a slav turns out to be rather shallow foundation of a nation.

The Ukrainian Strategy
The Ukrainians’ terrain-focused war of maneuver is constrained by two factors: limited artillery ammunition and equipment production, and coalition considerations. Ukraine started the war with 1,800 artillery pieces of Soviet caliber. These allowed firing rates of 6,000 to 7,000 rounds a day against 40,000 to 50,000 Russian daily rounds. By now this artillery is mostly out of ammunition, and in its place Ukraine is using 350 Western caliber artillery pieces, many of which are destroyed or breaking down from overuse. Meanwhile, Western nations are themselves running out of ammunition; the U.S. is estimated to produce only 15,000 155mm shells a month. This constraint has forced Ukraine to adopt mass infantry formations focused on regaining territory at any cost. Ukraine simply cannot go toe to toe with Russia in artillery battles. Unless Ukrainian troops close to direct fire fights with Russian troops, there is a significant chance that they will be destroyed at a distance by Russian artillery.
Ukraine’s second constraint is the coalition nature of its warfare. Since running out of its own stocks, Ukraine is increasingly reliant on Western weaponry. Maintaining the Western coalition is crucial to the Ukrainian war effort. Without a constant string of victories, domestic economic concern may cause coalition members to defect. If Western support dries up due to depletion of stock or of political will, Ukraine’s war effort collapses for lack of supplies. In some ways, Ukraine has no choice but to launch attacks no matter the human and material cost.
Ukraine built an infantry-centric army of highly motivated conscripted troops with limited to no training. They support the core fighting force of the prewar professional army and about 14 new brigades equipped with Western-donated weapons and vehicles. On the battlefield, strike groups attack quickly, penetrating deep and fast, then hand over captured areas to draftees to defend. This tactic worked well in areas where the shortage of Russian manpower prevented a solid front, such as in the Kharkiv region. In the Kherson region, where Russia had sufficient density of forces, this tactic resulted in large casualties and little progress, until logistic issues caused Russia to retreat.
The Achilles heel of this strategy is manpower. Ukraine started the war with 43 million citizens and 5 million military-aged males, but according to the U.N., 14.3 million Ukrainians have fled the war, and a further 9 million are in Crimea or other Russian-occupied territories. This means Ukraine is down to about 20 to 27 million people. At this ratio, it has less than 3 million draftable men. A million have been drafted already, and many of the rest are either not physically fit to serve or occupy a vital position in the nation’s economy. In short, Ukraine might be running out of men, in my view.
The Russian Strategy
The Russian forces are limited by manpower but strengthened by massive artillery and equipment stockpiles enabled by a robust military industrial complex. While there have been numerous reports in Western media that the Russian army is running out of artillery ammunition, so far there’s been no visible slacking of Russian artillery fire on any front. Based on these factors, the Russian side has relied on a traditional firepower-centric war of attrition. The goal is to force an unsustainable casualty rate, destroying Ukrainian manpower and equipment, while preserving Russia’s own forces. Territory is not important; its loss is acceptable to preserve combat power. At Kyiv, Kharkiv and Kherson, the Russian army refused to fight under unfavorable conditions and withdrew, accepting the political cost to preserve its forces.
To execute this strategy, the Russian army relies on firepower, particularly its artillery. Each Russian brigade has three artillery battalions compared to just one in each Western brigade. Paired with correction by massed quantities of UAVs and quadcopters, Russian artillery pulverizes Ukrainian forces before infantry mops up survivors. It is a slow, grinding war, but with a casualty ratio that is significantly in Russia’s favor. Russia couldn’t attack because it lacked the manpower to secure the flanks of advancing troops. Up to now, Russians could only advance in Donbas, where advance did not extend the frontline. Even here the intent was more to draw in Ukrainian forces and destroy them rather than capture the city of Bakhmut. Mobilization has the potential to overcome Russia’s manpower shortages and enable offensive operations, while equipping its forces is possible due to the mobilization of industry. Precision munition production is also up, despite consistent doubt in Western press. Video of strikes by Russian "Lancet 3” loitering kamikaze drones is up up by 1,000% since Oct. 13, according to one estimate, indicating a major increase in production.

They know their languages for 1000 years, and will know their languages 1000 years from now. In nazifuhrer Putin's adress to the nation I have seen every single ethnic group presented, he had every single religious head behind him from the catholic bishop to the buddhist lama to the orthodox patriarch, because nazifuhrer Putin at least sometimes watches out for the look, while our democratic favourite is on to ban the orthodox religion and our baltic friends are on deporting Russians. You very much like to ask, whom Crimea belongs to, well I can answer to that Crimea historically belongs to the Tartars, they are the indigenous people there, not the Ukrainian slavs or the Russian slavs. Herodotus wrote about the Scythes there, romans wrote about the Huns there, Byzantines wrote about the Volga Bulgars there, the Cumani there, these are all brother nations to the tartars, not the Ukrainians, both the Russians and the Ukrainians are invaders in Crimea, thats the historical fact, that you are supporting one over another is entirely your business, but wont elevate you into the moral highground. Now tell me about historical minorities, whom you were clever enough to liquidate in your own country marten, so they wont cry in the future. Yeah horrible Russians behve horribly to the poor latvians, and from whom we know that? From the Latvians, who survived, and got back their culture? Fantastic Americans dont have such problems marten you know why? Because they killed their latvians. You think Russians are the worst colonizers, you are wrong, they were the best colonizers, if your kind would have colonized the chuvash, there wouldnt be chuvash minority, or a single chuvash, only a tombstone where you carved the were so sorry scripture. Objectively the ranking is Russians (because they have everyone alive and noone in ghetto>Israelis/Appartheid(because they have everyone alive and some in ghetto)>Canadians/Australians (because they have someone alive, and those are not in ghetto)>Americans (because they have someone alive and those are in ghetto)>Europeans (noone alive). Did you learned from it? Oh yeah, thatswhy you greenlit the Latvian deportation programme, you learned nothing. @marteneriksson8960

Do you really think that you can talk to your superiors about the illegal surveillance they conduct against millions without their consent? This is a little bit naive dont you think. Edward Snowden network administrator no344 walks in the supersecret installation hidden in the depth of a bunker in Hawaii, where thousands are working on illegal monitoring, that hey guys, what you do here is breaking the law, Obama looks at him with a recognition, that he trusted Colonel Evil in his eyes, and shuts down the whole operation. They know full well, that what they are doing is illegal, and they want to keep it in the shadows. They got their shiny Harvard diploma on knowing whats legal whats not, if they wanted to abide law, they wouldnt do what they have done to begin with. Yeah Snowden could have knocked Washington Post with his information, and he would be jailed for life. We have seen what these people did with Assange, who is not even a US citizen for giving out their secrets...

Lol ISIS Kyle, you still dont get it? ISIS is a CIA sponsored mercenary group which shows up, when the US wants to meddle in the middle east. Obama promised to leave Iraq, but Halliburton didnt want to givve up the oilfileds, boom, ISIS captures the oilfields, so Obama can go back to Iraq. ISIS fought the taliban in Afghanistan, when they were near Baghram just before the evacuation. Of course trump goes after their enemies, they are our puppies. Netanyahu was called out as a warcriminal, the whole internet was brewing with Hasbara trolls about why the left doesnt care about Assad, than in 2 days ISIS out of nowhere captures Aleppo, it couldnt even be more obvious who is paying these people, if they would paint the presidential seal on their trucks.

@pekkoh75 Yeah an F35 can land at anywhere since it has a VTOL capability if you order with it, but you cant service an F35 anywhere, so the problem remains, meanwhile the Gripen comes with a road mobile service station. To preserve its capabilities it has to be recoated after pretty much every 10 sorties in a dedicated facility. So yeah, if you have to fly some specialized stealth missions in highly contested airspace, then the F35 rules, although even that is not a mission type which cant be done cheaper with a simple stealthy cruise missile. In a battle of attrition, it will fly its 10 sorties and stuck on ground, or will be as good as any regular jet would be. Its an excellent force multiplier, especially if you have the advantage to begin with, but I dont think its wise to be used as the backbone of any airforce, its simply a too needy jet to do that.

Correct, the only problem is that it was the US neocon's idea to push these countries into NATO to begin with. Yep, Baltics is a tough nut to crack, in the good old days it was enough for them that a Fulda gap like defense would be installed on their territory, which guarantees that help will come from Poland direction, but nowadays someone told tham, that they should be defended from day1 at all costs, which is a huge problem, because that requires awfully big investments without too much strategic return. They should just grab a ferry and wait out till we liberate their territory instead of doing this. Regarding to Ukraine, there are only two countries in Europe who can legitimately guarantee Ukraine's independence, France and the UK, all the other countries worth nothing since they arent nuclear powers like Russia.

You mean the Soviet union got into a nonagression pact with the Nazis AFTER they all invaded the Soviet Union in a failed intervention to stop bolshevism, yeah even the Brits the French and the Americans were there but they were beaten out by the red army, just they were AFTER the Western powers didnt help the Spanish republicans, AFTER the western powers gave Czechoslovakia, the sole ally of the Soviet Union, to Hitler, and to have a little fun AFTER Poland took its share from the Chzechoslovakian cake. Yeah thats the top, that the Poles stole territories from the Czechs the very same way how the Soviets stole territories from them later on, and the icing on the cake is the thousand of pages of diplomatic cables, where the Poles offered alliance to Hitler to declare war on the Soviets. It was a very realistic hypotesis from the Soviet side that in the case of a nazi agression western powers would side with them, or at least watch it from the sidelines. Of course Stalin didnt trusted "kill the bolshie kiss the Hun" Winston Churchill, noone would do with a sane mind. But I guess they leave it out from your western educational books. Honestly this whole BS about the nonagression pact was invented after the war, noone took it seriously it was that logical move,only the Brits cried a little because of it, which was funny since their conservative government had ice cold relations with the soviets. @NoumenonAndPhenomenon

Lol I didnt think that the EU owes something to Ukraine, that we cant hide behind American protection, instead of sending 100s of billions for free. And they could be EU members and militarily neutral buffer country, as Finland were before they joined NATO, because the European Union has nothing to do with NATO on principle. I happen to dont like this attitude from the Ukes. They owe to us, not we owe to them. Also Zelensky is hyperfocused on cajoling the Americans, while criticizing Europe, OK Zel, then I guess its their task to save your as from now on. We can find a better place for that 200 billion we spent on you. Who did give you territorial guarantees Clinton or Chirac? Who did offered you NATO membership Merkel or George Bush? Who did tell you to commence this war in Istambul Scholtz or Boris Johnson? So Brits and Americans screw it up why should the EU pay for it? They sent you 30 Abrams and 10 Challenger and they think they call the shots? Ukraine couldnt even move without the 500 leopards and the F16s what was delivered by Europe, Your refugees are siutting in our necks siphoning our welfare system, so I want you to lick our as, and tell, that it taste like roses! Even better ask back everything and leave Ukraine to those who made them false promises!

Well, no in WWI we technically won against the Russians, remember they quit early because of Lenin. And yeah the Soviets, which technically included Ukraine, led by a Georgian thatswhy I wouldnt mix it with Russians. Well, Hungary wasnt an independent nation under them, BUT they never stated even then that Hungary would be part of the Russian sphere, thatswhere we are fundamentally different from the Poles or the Baltics, because Poles were indeed part of the Russian empire once. And this is not about siding with Russia, but keeping all options open. If we burn the bridges with Russia, that means we have no choice but to rely on the Romanians, if we keep both of them, we have the option to ditch any of them, if we dont like what they are doing. @JackChurchill101

Lol did you told the Americans how unkind of them to invade the Afghans in search of bin Laden after the WTC bombings? Well, in 1914 Americans were the Austrians, bin Laden was Gavrilo Princip, and the serbian secret service, and Afghanistan was Serbia. But if it satisfies you you French didnt join because of some alliances, you joined first because you lost Alsace to Prussia in the Franco Prussian war, which actually you started, and wanted a revenge for it, secondly because you always schemed against Austria going as far as allying yourselves with the Ottomans, when they invaded Europe, and enslaved fellow christians. There are no good guys in history my friend.

Well, its pretty much the inconvenient truth, that hamas actually already won this war. Americans see AIPAC as a security threat, so the influence is gone, the antisemitism card is in tatters, and Israel is in front of the ICJ. You guys lost more on international relations in mere 3 months than the preceding 70 years.Not to tell, that the government is seen as a far right coalition of cleptocrats, religious fanatics, and borderline crazies, as they really are, which was lesser known for the international audience before.

Nos, amiről te beszélsz azt nevezik túlélőparadoxonnak. Mármint persze azért gondolod úgy hogy az ilyen Magyar Péter féle telefonbetyárok példás megbűntetése azért problémás, mert ha öntesz egy szép betoncsizmát a tappancsára és bedobod a Dunába a telóval együtt, akkor rögtön a CSI Miami ugrik rád atomizálva az atomizátort, és ha csak a bűnügyi jelentéseket olvasgatod, akkorez ígyis van. Pedighát az igazság az, hogy az ilyen betoncsizmás sztorik közül csak azokat ismered, akik pancserul csinálták, akik jól végezték a dolgukat, azokról értelemszerűen nem hallottál, mert nem kerültek be a bűnügyi jelentésekbe, úgyhogy statisztikailag erősen szűrt a hozzád eljutó információmennyiség.

Well actually there are minor points against this. First, the USA did try to invade Canada, that time part of the british empire of course not because of Alaska, but they were pushed back. Second the Soviets did actually left Austria and Yugoslavia after the war, and didn't intervene in Greece, when the British made an intervention there. More importantly they could seize Finland after the war, but they decided not to. Minor point about security annexation of countries, the first thing the British did, when Germany occupied Denmark was to seize Iceland for strategic reasons. Third, the western powers actually had the opportunity for an invasion of Germany when the wehrmacht was preoccupied in Poland but did almost nothing, which gives a high chance, that they wanted to struck a deal with them. Third, the Soviets were quite right that they were suspicious about western and polish intentions, as these powers all sent interventionary troops against them during the Russian civil war, and actively tried to force the poles and romanians to attack the Soviet Union, and Stalin of course knew about this. Even Churcill's favourite saying was during that time was kill the bolschie kiss the hun. Of course we have the benefit of hindsight to know, that he genuinely wanted an alliance with the USSR, but during those times it was a turncoat gesture, and Stalin shouldn't be blamed of not taking it seriously, because with a same turncoat gesture he could ally himself with Hitler as well. Heck even Roosevelt didn't trusted the man for a moment. So, while Molotov Ribbentrop pact wasn't an idealistic rosy thing to do, it was quite justified during those times, especially after the Munich conference, as well as the Polish non agression pact.

Dont worry Kyle, he will be arrested. They always are. Let us entertain the theoretical scenario, that Trump is charged with warcrimes, and all a future democratic government has to do to get rd of him forever is to give him into the hands of the Hague. Theres no domestic outrage, theres no allegiances of political motivation for the jury, thers no supreme court which could give him mercy, he is extradited arrested and charged by an international body, their hands are completely clean. Thats the most convenient way to get someone out of politics forever, who is infesting their politics for more than 25 years. And Israeli opposition knows this as well... Thatshow Milosevic hot into the Hague, and all of the others, thatshow putin will end in the Hague, and thatshow Netanyahu will be there too... BTW thats not that bad place to spend his retirement, theres a gym, PS5, internet, everything its almost like a luxury hotel.

Of course its true. If you walk around western Europe do you think you will find your petty nationalistic BS? No, you will find Catalans, and Vasques, and Welsh, and Bretons speaking their own language, having their own roadsigns, and having their own culture. Meanwhile the Czechs are lobbying for their Benes decrees, which give them right to confiscate German properties in Czechia up to this day, not just supressing minorities. Its so clearly against the three freedoms of the EU, free movement of property, people and capital, that its a real shame EU didnt say to them forget it or quit the union. @rh7018

Americans were just destroyed by the Chinese in AI. Nvidia dropped 12% in shareprice in a single day... They made their ChatGPT out of 5 million and 2000 chips. Lemme guess, after crying us a river why Germany doesnt invest everything into EV, which are literally bonkers, you cried us a river, why Germany dont push billions into AI, now you will tell us why Germany doesnt build spacerockets, for which theres literally no market for. When will you learn, that elon Musk is a grifter he is living off government subsidies, and whatever he does would never survive in a competitive freemarket environment? When will you learn that the hypetrain is not real economy, and car manufacturers know way better their business, than you uneducated journalists do?

@penshiproductionsvzw203 ICC is compromised of the world's international lawyers, or at least supposed to be. If there would be any political will for that, then they can find the ones who could form a correct jury. Also the world has enough power not just to put pressure on Serbia or Russia, it has enough power to put pressure on the US to extradite its criminals, if there is any political will to do that. Then they will understand that there is no such thing as "bening hegemon", and they are not above the law. Sure if Putin is guilty, then extradite him as well, on equal grounds. Thats an absolute must if someone thinks seriously this rule based world order, otherwise its just plain BS. And we have to be frank about the Ukrainians as well. European Comission was full of their nationalistic attrocities, and if the Americans wouldnt defended them they would be ostracized long ago because of their violations of basic human rights. Yes Putin has his sh.t too, that doesn't make Ukrainians innocent, especially, since they don't just do these things to Russians.

Yeah sure, buddy, we are reading that since Trump and Brexit, of how the Brits and Americans don't care about Europe, and that they wouldn't honour their NATO obligations, and after that you are really suprised, that some take that stance seriously and don't intend to go into adventures with Russians. To be honest we never took NATO that seriously, and handled it as a bluff, which should be never called down, and we know, that after this war is over, you will pack up and go to Asia to wage war against China, but Russia will stay where it is, and whatever it does it can do without punishment.

@jamesbohlman4297 Oh my dear, your country wouldn't even exist, if we wouldn't stand firm and stop the Mongols, the Turks and any other invaders who came from the East for 1000 years, usually without any western aid. Problem is, that you can't differentiate between slavic countries, which didn't even exist 100 years ago, and thatswhy don't know western treachery as good as we do, who are an independent country since the William the Conqueror set foot on your land. Yeah sure bud, you can take in the so called Grand duchy of Finland, as far as I remember that was its name for a few hundred years, and the so called Ukraine, which in itself means "Borderlands", into the so called NATO, but your word and your alliance doesn't count that much, and if these countries will get into trouble you will be nowhere. If you don't believe me, you can see, how did you throw Poland and the Finns to the Russians after World War II, because you know thats the thing you always do, and we won't put too much into your words. United Europe is a little bit ironic statement from a Brexiteer, if you let me that to point out, Europe is not united, and it will never be, because its a goddamn big continent with lots of nationalities, and conflicting interests. We take care of our own best interests, which is not to anger Russians Turks, and Germans. Unfortunately Americans and Brits are not in the equation, as they don't really have stakes in Central Europe, just distant voices, who always want to make some trouble and want some cheap military action to distract any potential threat from a big European Empire in their doorstep. Thats exactly the thing you are doing in Ukraine, and it looks like it came directly from Lord Palmerston's playbook.

Pleas Georgians. You have to understand that the EU is not NATO, its not the west, the EU is a european peace initiative, and contribution project. Everybody who joined in sacrificed some lands claimed by other countries, every nation settled their differences, those which didnt arent really representing its core values, and dont understand what it stands for. You have to be in good terms with Russia to a rational degree, regardless of how horrible people they are, because the EU finally wants to be in good terms with Russia. You have to settle your differences with the Georgian dream people too, we wont overturn your democratic government, I understand that you see these thing differently, but we dont want to make any of your population our enemies.Besides theres not everything butter milk and honey in the EU too. It will take hard times and decades till you will really see the benefits, all along there will be evil EU croporate people who will try to trick you, dumping their waste in your country and get your natural resources, that does not represents the view of the community, but regardless they are operating on legal grounds, so we cant to anything about them, so you have to be alert on what you accept and what you dont.

I dont think that actually any country want to land humans on Moon. They can sell the patriotic stuff by showing off CGI and sending there small rovers, without building rockets which costs billions of dollars for literally nothing to gain. Yeah sure Artemis made a flyby ran by old backup shuttle engines, which arent even produced anymore, scraped up from 20 years old stockpiles but heres the catch, the Muskmobile will never work, they know exactly that it will never work, so they have an excellent excuse not to land, while pushing all the blame to Space Jesus. How do we know that they know the Muskmobile wont work? Because if they would think it would work, they wouldnt build Artemis on the firstplace, and would just use the Muskmobile all the way to the Moon. The Chinese rocket is a Proton replica, and the Proton never had the power requirements to send humans to the Moons surface, and they dont have a bigger rocket to do it, which has to be constructed before from scratch, so they definitely wont land there by 2030.These missions are just circus for the plebs, while subventionalizing their own launch market giving them billions in taxpayer cash to underbid the competition for alaunching commercial satellites.

Its cute that you think we dont live in a socialism. We live in corporate socialism. The bloodsuckers, like Musk and Bezos get billions of taxpayers money to play their little games, while the average man is sent to the free market... They just push this bigtalk that Elon Musk worth 400 billion, if Elon Musk would have let alone 10 billion on his bank account he wouldnt borrow 10 billion with 10% interest to buy twitter, yet he constantly gets billions of government money for new rockets, which will or willnot fly, and even if those will fly then their main purpose is so Musk can build his internet satellite network, not to make something useful for the government. 90% of the bigpharma patents are coming from government funded university studies, which they generously take over for free, to let us pay them the rent. Internet providers cry that why the governemnt doesnt build highspeed internet cables for them, so they can charge the customers for some extra cash. Electric vehicle manufacturers cry to build them free chargingpoints from taxpayers money, which they will use to sell more cars. All what the private sector want to do, is to ask for the money to make investments, and counting the profits which flows to them. They are totally useless on their present form. And do not tell that Thacher didnt see it coming. Remember that little project of hers, the DeLorean? DeLorean was a government backed fraud before government backed fraud even existed.

Lol Kyle, you dont understand liberals. Please read Fukuyama. They wont fight, they dont even know what a fight is, never did that, they think that they will inherently win at the end, and destined to rule the world, every problem goes away by itself, so if you try to fight they will ridicule you in every single turn, as extremist. Thatshow they operate. Remember there was NEVER in the history of mankind ANY resistance movement organized by liberals. Ever. They always show up when the fighting is over, and claim they won it. Remember those movies about WWII resistance fighters you know ordinary folks who fight for their country, because they want to make it a free liberal state? Well thats all BS, there were two kinds of resistance fighters in WWII only two, Christians and communists, both of them fought because they believed in something while liberals collaborated and waited to be freed by a foreign military.

I have a feeling that its actually not the case. Orban is the absolute ringleader in the European far right movement, but somehow he is hostile to the Romanian farright, they stick to the Meloni camp together with the scandinavian farright. Its not the usual hatred between the two nations, Orban is pretty much a pragmatist, who would do business with any crackpot and scmbag to further his aims, he was best buddy with Basescu too, best pal with the Serbians and Slovaks too. They are somehow not part of the team. Orban is incredibly dangerous, you westerners didnt even realize how much. He is sponsoring Reform UK now, he gave advice to Trump and Republicans multiple times, JD Vance was a lobbyist for Orban for 5 years in the Senate, there are 4 American cabinet picks who at one point of their lifetime worked for the Hungarian government. I think he is the one on whom through putin holds together his network of western allies, but its not just about the blackmoney and thinktanks he is building all around the world, he has the best political instincts in Europe right now, he sniffs out opportunities years before anyone see them, so its not an easy pick to defeat him.

@Dam-a-fence Well, if you look it in a historical perspective sooner or later Israel is always wiped off the map of the Middle East. It was done by the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Assyrians, the Hettites, the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Turks. Palestinians know full well, if Israelis do not integrate to the Middle Eastern political bloc they will vanish again, and that time is actually on their side.

Well, no you get it wrong. The taxi vehicle would actually have to match up the orbit of the cycler to dock perfectly, theres no way to dock with a huge deltav between them no matter how close the cycler passes Earth. So it would be actually less fuel efficient to travel with a cycler, than a direct transfer orbit to Mars, since an Earth Mars resonant orbit has bigger apogee than a direct transfer orbit. That said, they cycler can be huge, which means its more comfortable, more secure for the crew, it can have its own greenhouse, so produce its food and oxygen which the taxi vechicle would lack, so dr Aldrin is into something with it, just that it wouldnt save him too much fuel.

Theres an objective reason why the manufacturing base moved out of the west, its because its cheaper there. Money wont solve the problem. A dam dont stop the flowing river, it can only temporarily halt the flood, but sooner than later you have to open the floodgates otherwise the river will break the dam. If America or Europe goes against basic economy and mathematics, they will lose. Adam Smith literally wrote in his classical theory that tarrifs dont work, and thats the easy part, retaining technology is the harder. Chinese had capital punshment for smuggling out silkworms, yet europeans managed to smuggle out silkworms, Brasilians had capital pnishment for smuggling out gumtrees yet the British established their own plantation in Malaysia, technological theft is as natural as taking a breath, you cant maintain your leadership by force. You have to find your place in the world, where you are the cheapest.

Can someone elaborate to me what democracy means in your context? I mean come on guys, the EU is not democratic, this disgusting bald guy is even less democratic, he tells, that big nations should overrule smaller ones as a real stalinist bloodsucker would say. I would say American, German, Portuguese, Baltic or any other MP's will never have the power to mobilize the Hungarian military, or to take loans in the name of Hungary, scraping the barrel in Hungarian weapon stockpiles, for that we have our own national parliament, with our own elected officials, now I would call that democracy, which should be respected.

To address why Orban will win his next election, the guy, who you Poles and Germans handpicked as his opposition, and with whom Ursula, and mr Grumpy shooting pictures was Orban's most loyal henchman, the ex spouse of Orban's justice minister, who stole 1.5 million Euros in second rank government jobs and belongs to this olygarchic cycle what you cried out. The guy came into prominence after Orban fired his wife because she pardoned a fredophyle, and the guy thought that he should have kept her. Not only that, but his entire political movement the Tisza party is composed of ex FIDESZ cadres, who were removed because they got into such corruption scandals, that was even too much for Orban himself, and now they are seeking revenge. So the choice is simple you chose the guy who built up the olygarchy or you chose his most loyal copycat, with the caveat, that the copycat already talked about how much debt he will let to be put on the average Hungarians to finance the war in Ukraine. So theres virtually no way he will win against Orban. Not to mention, that you made Orban to whom he is. The German owned biggest newsstation RTL straight out refused to put politics into its news up until 2018, when Orban was 8 years into power, Merkel and Kaczinsky defended him with tooth and nails, because most of the money went straight into the German car manufacturer's purse, and they were pretty content with it. So its not only Orban who has his second thoughts about the EU, but Orbans opposition as well.... Realistically speaking since Hungary joined the EU the country became more poor and less democratic, and thats not just because of Orban, but mainly because the EU deficit and debt requirement and economic shock therapies, and the whole organization's prospects are lame in the future.

Well Willy you have no idea about politics, if you think that anyone can order a country around based on majority decisions. What would it mean in NATO if the majority decides to let in Ukraine? So the minority countries never agreed to defend Ukraine, they could simply say, that article 5 in case of Ukraine is not forcing them to do anything since they didnt vote for Ukraine's acession on the first place. Or do you think Stoltenberg can order any country's military in high alert by himself? Trust me if it comes to WWIII, every single country would grab the smallest excuse to be left out of it, and this majority decision thing would be the biggest excuse on the table. Those people who decided on unanimous decision made it for a purpose, NATO is not an alliance without it. About the other thing, since you read out loudly, that Hungary's voting right can only be taken away by the unanimous decision of the European council, where Fico actually holds a place, that means, that Fico actually can veto it. Thats a nice gesture out of him, which Hungary will never forget to Slovakia, although in a half year we wil be full of friends in the EU, and liberals will be on the retreat.

Zelensky made a terrible mistake when he didn't start peace negotiations immediately after the capture of Kherson. That was potentially the best they could achieve, the political climate was favourable, even Putin would have a hard time to reject the offer. Now Russians are pissed and patriotic, they feel that they don't fight Ukrainians, their brothers, but NATO, they wont stop until they humiliate the west and make Ukraine a rump state. And NATO cant do anything about it except make it longer with more people dead. Thats the fault of Ukraine because their western allies knew this full well, and warned them, the west, because they cant make a credible promise to Russia about their security concerns, and mainly the MSM media, which drew a false picture, abot what can or can't be achieved against the Russian military.

@Dafnessific Do you think liking Ukraine does give them the right to abuse ethnic minorities. Maybe if Europeans and the US would play a fair game they would get fair support, but they only push their agenda and make a saint out of a very problematic state, which rather should be condemned. I don't care how young their democracy is, awhile as Azov paramilitaries are circling inside their borders for 8 years, threatening everyone around with deathlists, meanwhile people are disappearing, or outright set into flames, they arent considered a democracy at all, those guys either should be integrated to the regular military, or jailed. And I was very diplomatic saying that its just the Azov. What do their neighbours who all have minorities in their land have to do to stop this forced Ukrainisation? Do they have to invade them, because they only understands force, and EU and US doesnt care about this at all? Because at least 5 countries would jump into their throat. Romanians pissed, Hungarians pissed, Belarussians pissed, Russians pissed, even the poles are pissed, just they hate Russians more than Ukrainians. Do you really think these countries want a strong lest say politely ultranationalistic Ukraine in their border beefed up by thousands of military hardware, bragging about what benefits they want, and who should be silenced, and how much did they suffered, what gives them right for everything? What do you think what will happen when they realize, that to be members of EU and NATO they have to make serious concessions and behave, while they have thousands of tanks at their disposal? Maybe they will considering using those to gain the upper hand, while NATO stockpiles are totally empty, because of some uneducated moralisers, who couldn't even show where Ukraine is on a map? You can see how they are handling their diplomacy, they constantly try to find leverage on their partners and instead of consensus they try to outtrick them and solve their problems with force. Remember that Biden had to say Zelensky to back off, if he doesn't respect his greatest supplier and the goddamn strongest country in the world what will he do with nations which he considers as weak compared to Ukraine? Maybe thats okay, when they are in war, but they are doing it in peacetime as well. It is almost the same to have Ukraine or Russia, as neighbor they are the 1st and 2nd biggest country in Europe, Ukraine is as big of a threat as Russia itself for all of its neighbours. US is gravely miscalculating on thatone, Putin is more real, I don't even understand how Nuland could think that its a good idea to pact down with nazis, and make a troublespot out of a relatively likable country. There is a reason why the Council of Europe exists, if its decisions are neglected, then there will be war either you like Russia or not, and Ukrainians are actually lucky that only Russia attacked them. Western leadership f.ked this up sooo deep and layered, that there are no words for it. I really want to see Nuland go to jail for this.

@dougcoombes8497 They fired their 4000'th precision guided cruise missile in january. Thats twice the number of precision weapons the US used in its wars in 30 years, and you still buy, that they have problems with microelectronics? Thats a clear bs. They have 6.000 tanks in their operational reserves AND 13000 in their field depots, now the latter are the rusting junks, which we don't talk about. They fortified the whole Dnyieper shore with AT mines and concrete bunkers, and ordered in 300.000 conscript to defend it. You can search the New York Times article. Why do you think you don't see this mass of troops attacking? Because they are waiting for the ukries in their positions, to make a bloodbath, when they try. So the ukries have to cross a river which is actually wider than the widest lake in Europe, in some places almost as wide as the channel, there they have to go through a 10 mile zone of mines and fortification, to which Bahmut looks like a little schooltour, while Russians can launch 10.000 rounds for them and they can shoot back 500. But they can send infantry against that, well thats what I would call a human wave attack. It will be a slaughterhouse, but noone can retreat from the web of lies, what the West and Ukrainians invented, so the Russians only have to play the defensive this time to grab a devastating victory. They still have a military, which is a match for NATO, not for Ukraine, thats what everybody keeps forgetting.

This should have been the European way since 2014. The EU instead told Ukraine that they cant have an agreement with Russia and the EU at the same time which led to the Maidan coup, Stoltenberg openly refused any negotiations regarding Ukraine's NATO membership, when 1000 russian tanks were gathering in Ukraine's borders, Boris Johnson flew to Kyiv, and singlehandedly ruined the Istanbul peace process, the EU refuse to engage in any diplomatic talks with Russia for 3 years straight, European warmongering media openly lying and gaslighting their audiences with easily debunkable claims, like Russia doesnt want peace, when they offered peace 10 times in 3 years. Meanwhile Vladimir Putin told multiple times that he has no objections to Ukraine's EU membership. The EU is openly heading towards a military dictatorship and war, the media prepares the population to go to war. There are countries, who are genuinely want their revenge like Poland and the Baltic states, there are countries, who are always ready to go to war with Russia like Germany and Britain, there are countries, who see the business opportunity to sell their weapons like France, there are countries, who would never give money to rise livingstandards abroad, but would always give money for war like Scandinavia, and there are countries, which are terrified from the bloodlusting unholy coalition of these dark forces and dont dare to speak up. It would be better to just dismantle the EU as it is, since it gives too much power to these countries.

I loved the movie BTW, it wasnt woke at all, I didnt feel the battlescenes as viking battles, they sent messages on horseback and whith lightsignals, not handmotions, and he gave a quite valid explanation of why did he left Egypt besides of his wife cheating on him, the Brits and the Austrians started to sceme and they lost parts of Italy. Joaquin Phoenix should get his Oscar, well deserved buddy!Historylegends dont join up with the haters, they shitted so heavily on Kingdom of Heaven back in the day, the best goddamn medieval history piece ever made, just because they didnt like its balanced worldview after the WTC attacks somewhat 800 years later.

Yeah, he is directly inspired by N1 because he directly faace the similar issue the soviets faced namely combustion instability in gigantic rocket engines like the F1, which would result in serious explosions. The technical side of it is if you increase the size of the combustion chamber, then the fuel and oxidizer wont completely mix there, some unused fuel and oxidizer will leak out, and burn where it is not supposed to burn, eating up the engine itself. Soviets and Musk know how to build tiny engines, but they dont know how to build big engines, only NASA knew that, and they didnt figure it out by exact calculations but by trial and error, so it is questionable if they could build it again. @korana6308

Well, yes, but the problem with this thought is at the end of the day some will vote for a real party, which doesnt makes politics on indivudal issues, but issue bundles, so you have to make that compromise anyway. Or you make a completely dysfunctional government structure, as we see for example in Germany where 3+ parties have to rule, with concurrent thoughts, and it falls apart. BTW tribalism is an important glue, without it there wouldnt even be such a debate as immigration, since the nation itself doesnt really exists, theres no such thing as Sweden without being a bunch of tribalist folks calling themselves Swedes, they could by that regard call themselves Earthlings as well, then anyone would have the right to live on that swath of land.

Hatalmas lehetőségek nyílnak meg az oroszok érkezésével Közép Európában, nem véletlenül visít az összes földrabló szláv. Az oroszok nem fogják elfelejteni a millió lőszert amit a katonáik ellen küldtek. Az összes nyomorult kis bábállam rettegni fog, és nem győzik majd fényesre nyalni a sejhajunkat, azt kérünk tőlük, amit csak akarunk. Ha nem azt teszik, amit mi akarunk, deklaráljuk a semlegességet, és kész, a románok el vannak vágva a NATO-tól, körbevéve olyan országokkal, amikenk területi követeléseik vannak rajtuk. Az oroszok lesznek a kalapács, mi és a szerbek leszünk az üllő, amivel szilánkokra verjük őket! Szlovákia visszaszerzése pedig minden stratégiai körülmény között egy napfényes délutánjába került a magyar hadseregnek, tudják ezt ők nagyon jól, azért van tele a gatyeszuk, velük szinte már tárgyalni sem kell, csak diktálni nekik a követeléseket. Szlávokkal csak erőpozícióból lehet tárgyalni.

I didnt find any evidence about your claims that Austrians did know or suspect that Seria is not guilty in the assasination plot. On the contrary, in the Sarajevo and Saloniki trials, they kind of found evidence, that the Serbian military intelligence was actively involved in the assasination, support and the weapons used came from Dragutin Dimitrijević, chief of the military intelligence section of the Serbian general staff. And, with all due respect, I dont think Austrians even considered, because it doesnt really matter if a rogue group inside the Serbian military or the Serbian state itself acted. With the benefit of hindsight we can ask these questions, but for the contemporary leaders it was totally clear, that Serbia is responsible for what its military does anyway, and the kingdom of Serbia wasnt that cooperative towards Austria-Hungary to get into such conclusions at the time. Lets say in a todays example, an Iranian submarine makes a strike on the White House killing Biden. The Iranian claim it went rogue, but they refuse to let in American inspectors, or to give out the perpetrators. I would say it would be more than very likely the USA would send such an ultimatum to Iran, what Austria did to Serbia, and if it doesnt get a positive answer, it would declare war, because thats what any country would do in this situation. Questioning Austrian motives about the invasion of Serbia is a later try by the Entente propaganda to unjustify military action.

I can tell you where Musk is lying to you, and why austerities will actually harm the American economy. He says overspending as it would be a family revenue, but, government behaves as a company revenue. So you have a company which lets say prints papers, you have two printing machines, your concurrent has 3. So either you take on debt and try to compete him, then repaying the taken debt by outgrowing it, or in the case of austrities, you sell one of your printing machines and grab the cash, but that means your competition will have more advantage in production. In the case of government, if you reduce your RnD your education or health that means, that you have to compete with countries which will have better stats on those fields, better educated, more durable workforce and who will gain a technological edge on you, for a single cashgrab. Infrastructure is more tricky, it has some momentum, a few years before your bridges strating to collapse out of disrepair.

This is all office politics for NASA. They dont want to go back to the Moon, they demonstrated that they can do it 60 years ago, and thats all. It would drain all of their resources if they really wanted to do it, and it wont offer thatmuch scientific return. Space enthusiasts want them to go back to the Moon. Now it happens that the same space enthusiasts, who wants them to go back to the Moon are the very same people who idolize Musk. So then either Musk takes them to the Moon, or he wont, but the blame is not on NASA anymore, they are completely clean, and that happens to be exactly what they wanted. So they spend the price of one of their sophisticated rovers to get the scifi nerds off their tail, its still peanuts compared to a real Moon mission, and they can continue interplanetary robotic expeditions.

Aham, és ezt a parkolóban füvező Kovács mondta neked, akire Pokorniék, a teljes hegyvidéki közgyűlés meg az RTL klub kamerásai háromnegyed órát vártak szitkozódva, hogy eltekerje végre a spanglit, és méltóztasson befáradni dolgozni, ahelyett, hogy szövevényes kilopási terveiket a drogos bagószüneteire időzítenék. Ottvan a teljes közgyűlési felvétel, három óra vissza lehet nézni, aki nem hiszi járjon utána. Amúgy az már felmerült bennetek, hogy egy olyan szegedi lepusztult csöves tagnak, mint Kovács, akinek a legjövedelmezőbb törvényes melója eddig az volt, hogy önkormányzati képviselő, honnét van pecója a budai luxuskerületben, vagy ez liberáliában a privátszféra súlyos megsértése? Tán csak nem szivárgott oda némi állami támogatás...

Thats not a basic value of the EU that we help out the weaker nations with military, if that would be the case we would have to supply weapons against Israel for the palestinians. But I will tell you, the EU of what we joined required minority rights to be respected, and look where we are now? Ukrainians slovaks, czechs have language laws, there is no citizenship for ethnic russians in Latvia Lithuania and Estonia, who lived there before those countries even existed, and your fantastic EU with its core values doesnt even lift an eyebrow. But I will tell ya something. You can play these little games with Russians, Hungarians, or anyone else, but then bear the consequences. If germans want to die in Estonia, so they can play the master fascists, a country with 2 million inhabitant playing with the Russian bear, thats on them, we have nothing to do with it. Ethnic conflicts are the No1 causes of war in the world, if someone plays these ultranationalist games, he plays with fire. @hhKJgf1M8a0rzt8hP

@Ashley-Paucek There is this western idea, that ukrianians made successes because they got 20 HIMARS, or 50 Bradleys. I dont have to stress out, how much of that is untrue. Ukrainians made successes, because they had 800.000 manpower, 1800 150 mm ex soviet artillery and 2500 T72-s. Himars is not a bad weapon but 20 of them is nothing, these are just media hacks and charity showups. Ukrainians need 3 things to win this war: airforce by hundreds, artillery and heavy tanks by thousands, and now they need boots, yep, NATO soldiers. It is unavoidable, or they will loose.

Not too likely. Magyar is an ex crony of Orban's breed, the left hates him with a passion, and he is basically representing the upper class liberals who want their taxcuts in place and push their neoliberal agenda, and who are not enough to win an election. Meanwhile Orban offered some inflation reduction options, which was criticized by the liberals mking them even more despised among the general population. MKKP or the Dogs are even worse, they dont have any idea beyond organizing gay parades and legalizing cannabis, which sounds good in the capital, where they exist, sounds horrible in the countryside. they will never be a real political party, only a fringe cultural phenomenon endeared by a very slim caste of people. If I have to bet, that because of this division Orban will actually win such a landslide which will suprass anything he previously had.

Well, no, this conflict will be the death of the EU as we know it, either if Putin wins it or loses it. The EU basically states with it, that it doesnt care if a country, like Ukraine imposes an ethnic policy on its subjects which goes for homogenization of the population. Now the problem comes, how does the EU as a federal state wants to work in an environment, where forced polonization, czechisation, slovakization, lithuanization etc are ongoing. That would mean, when you go to Estonia as a british you have to speak estonian, if you live there you wouldnt have the right to send your kids into a british school, they have to learn in the estonian school etc. This is against the very core of the fundamentals of EU, it will just disintegrate.

Well, turn a little bit around what you say about Western Europe's committment to Eastern European countries, because you say that western europe has an obligation to provide security to these countries. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia is currently pursuing a very dangerous ethnic policy towards Russia, they make diplomatic statements which directly hampers EUs China and Russia policy, which is gross from a triad which doesnt have a military helicopter to defend their own countries. Poland is operating an army without any European component in it, they use US and South Korean hardware, their foreign minister Sikorsky is sending cheerleading postcards, when "someone" sabotaging German infrastructure, menawhile both of these countries are behaving as backdoors of American interests in Europe. Also while Poland has the 5% spending on their military, they constantly refuse to take part in any peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, I would even question that in a hot conflict they would help out the Baltics, so they want us to solve their problems, while they refuse to make their share. There were multiple talks about a coalition of the willing including Poland and Romania, who would move in and secure Western Ukraine if Russians would break through, and they turned that down either. Ukraine only respects the United States as an equal partner, Zelensky makes speeches, where he treats Europe as a junior partner to Ukraine. So OK western Europe provides to these countries, but what do western Europe gets back in return? Because as it seems to me, that we are paying a shtton for the defense of these countries, and they are behaving as they would lead Europe, meanwhile they dont want to take the risks, and they arent teamplayers at all.

I kindof find that anarchist neighborhood cool, except the damaged buildings. It doesnt look like a tourist trap, but a real city. Greeks are awesome and honest people BTW, the best guys in Europe, I see whats behind those Tourist go home signs, guess I would feel the same, if I have to live in a poster of perfection yet its not for me, but the tourists, meanwhile the Germans would outright steal everything from my country, the sole thing I dont like about them is that feud with the Macedonians, but thats rather a minor thing.

So if you Poles and Baltics wouldnt be childish slavs, the realistic move would be to detach Lukashenka from Putin, because more than half of your problems would instantly go away if Belarus wouldnt be an adversarial country used as a forward operating base by Russia. Yeah he is a dictator, which means he loves money, and options to keep his power even if he falls out of Kremlin's grace. Give him money, and investments, and guarantees that you wont overthrow him, and push him out of Russia's orbit is the realistic move which you should seek, nd forget liberal whining. If Belarussians dont like him they will overthrow him, thats none of your business. This is Great power politics, morals dont play here. I know that you are not too clever people and made your job hard, but if you start now, then maybe a decde you can achieve some success.

Do you have any choice Kira than to stop this war if backers dry up? I mean yeah you can fight with sticks and stones in theory, in practice its not too realistic. Truth is on your side I get it, but reality is not. You should have made a peace deal a year ago when you looked strong. Zaluzhny told ya back then that ukraine doesnt have the forces to break through Russian defenses, thatswhy you decided to relieve him, but that doesnt make his points moot. While your leadership talks big, they are actually terrified to end this conflict, vecause that will bring shifting focus and economic hardships, and follow an indecisive policy, I get that too, but the later you make peace the more the hardship will be. Again if Zelensky would have told Europe that he quits if Ukraine receives 300 billion in development aid a year ago, he would have got what he wanted Europeans would be back to business as usual, and Ukrinian msoldiers would be alive and well. Now, he cant ask thatmuch because again, Ukraine has no choice but to do what Trump tells you to do.

@lucianboar3489 It could be done, as it was done in the Wien proclamation, what even Romania accepted in 1939, without any occupation, so I guess you didn't feel it such Romanian when Hitler offered you Moldova instead, and you took it. And it is a dangerous path, if you base yor country's sovereignty based on lost battles, beacuse, maybe you will lose some in the future, and your country won't exist anymore, and you can't say that it was unjust. With the Russians marching up to your border, I would be more diplomatic in your shoes, because noone knows what will happen, which allies you can count on, and which battles will you lose.

Yeah, Chuck Yeager, who broke the sound barrier was introduced to the American public five years later in a short spot as the "guy who held the previous record congratulating the new record holder" in altitude and speed testing. Military is secretive. I guess pilots were thankful for that in the Korean war, when they had supersonic jets, while the soviets didnt. There were some gossips about some Gemini launches from the Vandenberg airforce base too, so the American space activities werent as open as advertised. Although from the standpoint of testpilots, who these guys really were, where a 20% mortality was an acceptable outcome all over the world talking about safety above else is a little bit ironic, as if we would say they would be more daring if they flew their Migs/Starfighters instead of spaceships, thats not entirely true either NASA gave Neill Armstrong a 30% cahnce that he will never return from the Moon. These guys had balls of steel, they didnt care thatmuch if the ground became too hot under their feet. Especially ironic in the case of Von Braun, who was singlehandedly focused on astronaut's wellbeing, while he had no problems to operate an entire concentration camp before to get ahead in missile technology. Yeah I know, its rather a demonstration of capabilities than real concern.

BTW I would mention if Putin sees, that the Balkan corridor is opening up to him, and he can merge his troops with the Serbians via Hungary, theres no way he wont go for full Ukraine. Then kiss goodbye to Kosovo and Bosnia in the first round. You will find yourself in the opening of World war 3 without Trump on your side and an atrophied military. Are Hungarians supposed to be frightened from that Germany, which lets the US or Ukraine or god knows whom to blow up its pipelines? Those Poles, who constantly refuse to send their military outside of their borders? Those Americans, who never set foot in Hungary? Those Ukrainians whom are retreating along a 1000 km fronline? Those Romanians, where the EU cancelling elections what results they dont like? You are projecting weakness and panick in every single action you take. There are three big players in Eastern Europe Turkey, Russia and Germany, and Germany is currently out of order, the other two are Orbans best friends forever.

The only more useless military in the war than the British was the French, by numbers they should have finished WWI and WWII in a month. Does this satisfy you? They did better however than in WWII, when the Japs and the krauts handed their ases over to them, and its an actual historical fact that Britain didnt win a single major battle without the aid of the Americans. No not even El Alamein, they would have lost El Alamein, if the Americans dont land at Tunis. Every single engagement they made alone from the Narvik operation to the Dieppe adventure, up to Tobruk was a major military disaster. Some labor MPs directly called out Churcill about their social caste system plaguing their military, stating that field marshal Rommel with his family tree couldnt serve as a sergeant in the British military. Their tanks were highly inferior to the Germans, their whole army was trained for colonial adventures, supported by the navynot to engage with a near peer continetal type landforce. Even their Navy was decimated by an utterly inferior German submarine taskforce almost forcing them out of war with 10% of their offensive capabilities. The only thing what the Brits were good at as they usually do, was war propaganda. No offense Brits, but things as they are you lost your empire because you were weak and incompetent as hell.

@narutoionel8842 Oh my little friend, your little history of betrayal goes way beyond that. You betrayed the Crusaders to the Turks, then the Turks to the Monarchy, then the Monarchy to the French, then the French to the Germans, then the Germans to the French, then the Poles to the Germans, and THEN the Germans to the Russians. But not because you were so anti nazi my friend, you killed a ton of jews, without German occupation and were in the side of the German 6th army near Stalingrad. You switched sides, just to secure Erdely, when the Russians closed in on your country. You didn't respect any alliance you had since your pathetic country came into existence in 1500. In the dictionary behind the word treachery there is a sidenote see: Romanian. Noone with a sane mind would trust you.

@narutoionel8842 But you know we wouldn't dig into the past, and we could have normal relations. To get along with us anyone should respect our minorities, let them speak Hungarian in their native lands, and give them autonomy, thats the only thing we ask. But our neighbours never do that they try to rewrite history instead, and make false accusations and claims, what really angers us. We were silent for 30 years, and waited for a change in attitudes, what did not happen, now we are outspoken. Besides we cant form a military alliance with the Czechs, the Slovaks, the Poles and you against the Russians, because we know, that at the end we and the poles would be the onlyones who would bear the consequences, all the others will be the happy allies of Russia. We need to maintain moderately good relations with them always, thats our vital national interest. We didn't promise anything to the Ukrainians, besides that we won't attack them, and we won't risk our survival on them.

Lol dear, your dear EU leaders are dancing like a swine on ice to keep this EU dictatorship in one. They couped the Austrian election, the Romanian election, the French election and the Dutch election, the Germans totally rigged the polish election and put their governor, whom they personally bred to be their agent to the Polish prime ministry, by the way they stuffed all the EU bureaucracy with either Gemrans or their most loyal sycophants, like Kallas. Your fan favourite Ukraine had 10 political parties banned, an entire religion banned, 5 newstations banned, multiple political refugees in exile, the biggest opposition party dismatled, and poroshenko in house arrest most of these things happened before 2022, Ukraine is Putin's Russia on steroids. Rule of law, there is no rule of law inside the EU, its a disgusting shame of what this thing devolved into, Macron and Merz is up to removing the veto powers of the EU council, from that point on what the German and the french order will be law of every single country inside... its not the EU anymore, its the fourth reich. On foreign policy the EU is in bad relation with Russia, the EU is in bad relation with China, and recently the EU is in bad relation with the United States, those 3 countries represent 99% of the world's military might. Get your sht together, because what the EU does now will guarantee its downfall either by internal revolt or by a major war.

I dont think SPD should enter into a coalition with CDU. Merz will be an unpopular leader, so its more advantgeous being his opposition. Also the debtbrake should be kept at all costs. I dont think they can gther the 2/3 to lift it, the AfD will certainly being not interested in that, and SPD should oppose it too. Spending on weapons from debt will just harm the economy, without bringing in any benefit, if Merz raises taxes he will be ousted, so tactically theres no reason not to oppose it. Also it would be nice if CdU would get the green treatment in the next 4 years, they should be in coalition with Merz... if SPD follow this strategy they will be so back few years from now, if not, they will be scapegoated for what the rightwing screwed up, as usual.

For us, its pretty much the same, we dont make distinctions between slavic tribes, if there are any. Ok maybe the Poles but thats a special case. For us every single beachside serb, inland serb, mountain serb, Czech, Slovak Ukrainian,Romanian, you name it these are all Russians, their infightings are none of our business.

The problem is, you consider medieval europe as some part of western Europe. It isnt even western Europe in general, because Umayyad caliphate posessed half of the iberian peninsula, where literally was what you describe north african merchants and christians doing business, but in Eastern Europe it was even more prevalent, since the Byzantine empire actually owned half of the middle east, and of course every nationality and race was present in Constantinople. The western bias is, that movies and even historians generally dont give a damn to those places, meanwhile those were the biggest players in medieval europe. Thats because classical historians dont give a damn about middle ages, middle age historians are focused on catholic western europe, and orthodox nations are put to the oriental side, and islamic nations arent interested in making research on the history of a christian country.

Yeah, Estonia have above avergare GDP spending, that doesnt mean that their military is actually capable, thats the curse of being a small country. Finnish artillery is somewhat big, with its 1500 units, but not that particularly big since Poland have 3000 units alone. Thats the only part of the finnish military where they outperform. They underperform in tank numbers, fighterjets, they maybe having a dozen, airdefense per squaremiles, attack helicopters their total reservist pool is something around 1 million, which is particularly low even if you compare that to eastern european microstates. Combined with a nonexistent navy to amintain a Finnish front is a logistical nightmare without domestic weapons production, airlifting capabilities, or any way to resupply the country.

So lets put it thisway if you say, that the European Union cant defend all of its territory from Russia, thats true. But since you adressed the Germans Europe is entirely capable to defend Germany, because by the time Russians would get there they would have to go through Poland the Batlics and Finland. From a strategical standpoint the Baltics shouldnt even be involved in this, that territory is undefendable, the only thing what the EU realistically can do for those countries is to evacuate their population while their meager military buys enough time to pull it off. Since we are talking about a war scenario, then this is objectively the logical thing to do, which will be done by any sane military commander. They didnt make good diplomatic choices in the past, they shouldnt have pushed Lukashenko on the Russians, which made them totally surrounded, which in turn comes back and haunts them.

You cant always just throw money on a problem and hope it will go away. We cant base our economy on magic batterries, nonexistent fuelcells, and general scifi BS, we can only implement whats on the market right now. The people in the Manhattan project knew full well, that what they are doing is possible just extremely costly, we dont have thatkind of research done for these new technologies. Thatswhy noone even proposed a Manhattan project before Lisa Meitner splitted uranium, although Leo Szilard already had the idea in mind that it might be possible with some unstable element inculding uranium 6 years ahead and patented it in London, but it was so highly speculational since even the neutron wasnt discovered back then that noone take it too seriously. The when Szilard read about the Meitner experiment, he knew instantly that it can be done, he caught a ride to Einstein and convinced him to write a letter to Roosevelt, and start working on it before nazies realize what they have discovered.

Lol mr Fergusson you dont get it how technological innovation in business really works. University is one very minor part of it, free society even minor. The huge part of it, is that Iphone and Samsung has their R&D department next to each other in Shenzen, the engineers from both go to the same bars some got an idea and he instantly finds someone who can make it work from thousands and thousands of companies. As long as Xi doesnt hurt this ecosystem Chinese innovation is inevitable. Of course he makes mistakes, but those are actual western mistakes, like trying to predict technological future. It is unpredictable because noone knows what the next big thing will be. Of course we always try, we made social media, youtube and internet companies, because we knew at one day it will be the future, then the internet bubble collapsed. What was the root cause? Smartphones. When we tried to predict the future, we simply didnt have the hardware in hand to run it. Thatswhy its not the duty of the governemnt to pay companies for R&D because they will distort the natural flow into some kind of expected results. Yes AI will be the future, but we dont know how yet, thatswhy hyperfocusing on it is rather detrimental, because maybe we need some piece of the puzzle which doesnt exist yet. When the time comes it will just rush over the market, by two engineers solving a single problem in a Shenzen bar.

Thats the west's narrative. The reality is, that this is a civil war raging on since Nuland started the Maidan square coup in 14 where she overthrew the legal Ukrinian government, who did not want to do anything with NATO, and was neutral with a little bit of russian sympathy. Then Donetsk and Crimea claimed, that they did not vote for the puppet regime installed by the USA and started their separation. Russia as a guaranteur for russian minorities in Ukraine has had the USA puppet into the table, and they formed the Minsk accords, in accordance with the USA France and Germany, whereby they limited the heavy weaponry use in the Donbas, but as Merkel, and Hollande told it was just a deception, they wanted to arm Ukraine to the teeth to solve the Donbas conflict with a genocide. When Putin didn't see any other possibility he intervened. Today we see that the Donbas is the hardest battleground, thats because the core of the Ukrainian military was focused there ready to kill all the separatists before the war, while there was not a single ukrainian division in Kharkov oblast, which has the longest Russian Ukrainian border, which proves that their military actually wasn't prepping for a Russian invasion but a cleansing operation in Donetsk. This is a dirty story, with even dirtier tricks played by all sides. But western leaders are not idiots, they know exactly that they can't play these kind of games with a Great Power, they were gearing towards war for eight years.

Also I would ask how come that the undistorted price system is absolutely incapable to produce 1 million artillery shells for the Ukrainian front, no matter how much money the EU is throwing on the problem? Theories are excellent on paper, while miserably failing in reality, even more than military logistics. Of course we can argue that noone can actually quantify the worth of a shell, and sincerely the soldiers dont spend their hard earned cash on it, so the state in war has to guess it, with a 0% chance to get the optimal result, since either they will offer less or more to the capitalists than its real worth, if they offer less, then there wont be production, if they offer more, they will lose money. Althogh what you are talking about was indeed tried in the greatest moneysink of history called Afghanistan, where private contractors made parts of the logistics, and where 2.4 trillion dollars disappeared into thin air. Also I would argue that in many cases it would actually be more profitable for the NHS to simply let you die and pay compensations, than to have a prepared surgical team for some rare operating procedures. Yeah capitalists are somewhat excellent in long term financial planning, but where they cant calculate their return, the whole system fails, and since noone is prepping for a constant war situation it is impossible to calculate the return of investment of production capacities on war materials on an insanely large scale for uncertain timeperiods, thats always done by the government, even in the USA.Roosevelt's very first thing was to freeze the wages and the prices when they entered the war, and he quasi nationalized the producers.

Yeah sure, everyone is unjust and unprovoked to the poor Ukrainian victims.... Maybe if everyone hates lil Z with a burning passion, then he should look into where he is mistaken.... No little liberal dictatorwoman, your insignificant boss talked back to the president of the united states in front of the media, on whom your entire existence depends, thats what happened. He tried to use his usual gaslighting tactics, to break down the peace negotiations with Russia, the he dont trust it, and tried to push the president into a moral maximalist position, instead Trump told him, that he is not in a position to negotiate without the United States.

Britain and France are no players in Eastern Europe. That was the case in WWI, when it was occupied by Germans, that was the case when Hitler annexed Czechoslovakia, that was the case when Stalin attacked Finland, that was the case when Hitler attacked Poland, that was the case when Stalin captured it, and that is especially the case today. Britain even at the height of its military might was unable to project hardpower into Eastern Europe, all what they can cause are minor disruptions. I know the Czechs love to cry a river why Chamberlain didnt liberate them, the reality is, Chamberlain didnt have forces to dispatch to do anything in the middle of Europe, he couldnt even send the Royal Navy into the Baltics to relieve the Poles without all of those ships sunk. There are three big players in Eastern Europe. the Germans, the Russians and Turkey, they can project hardpower in the region. And the Germans are weak now, both militarily and economically.Yes Bitain has incredible softpower presence in Eastern Europe, but everybody knows that wont win a war for them.

Természetesen a szlovákiai magyar az olvadjon be, meg beszéljen szlovákul, mert ezt követeli az európai egység, de az, hogy színszlovákok vásárolgatnak házakat Rajkán, az totál rendben van. Hát akkor szlovák pajtikáim itt az ideje megtanulni magyarul, és letenni a hűségesküt ugyanis Rajka Magyarország, még a trianoni bohóctérképen is az, nem fogtok belőle Ratyislavát csinálni, mint Pozsonyból! Játszhatjuk ezt a játékot ígyis, ha ragaszkodtok hozzá, meg amúgy sem bízunk bennetek, egyszer már loptatok az országunkból mégegyszer nem fogjuk hagyni!

What if von der Leyen would work towards the will of the people before the whole EU falls apart? In 2006 EU was the biggest economy in the world, then Merkel von der Leyen and Weber took the helm of the EU, and they successfully pushed the entire union into the 3rd place, which is actively trying to fight a war with the biggest nuclear power in the whole goddmn world, actively making every single non European big economy hostile towards Europe from India through China up to the United States. I think we had enough with the German leadership, they failed on every single level, maybe they should focus on protecting their own pipelines from the Ukrainian seven samurais who blew them up according to folktales, and leave the matters of Europe to more capable hands. This whats happening all across Europe is the self correcting tendency of any given democracy, that people know that these leaders are useless and want them out, yet they fight back, instead of changing course.

Lol most of the Eastern European countries have active communist parties operating in them. Its not that they hate communism, its that those who hate communists are making more noise. Besides the obvious fact that those "Eastern European youngsters" in your meme didnt even live when communism ended in Eastern Europe, they are simply educated to hate it, those who support it are the oldones who actully lived in communism. The reality is what Eastern Europe calls capitalism is basically corruption, crookery, and total western colonization. They love to brag about "their" GDP, yet that money is not their money, but German money. They dont have factories, ideas, only cheap workforce without any rights whatsoever, their best perspective for life is to emigrate to the west. Paris would be in fire for quarter of the things what these minions are tolerating from their overlords. Besides the fact that Eastern Europeans are generally slavs, which means that they were the torchbearers, when they were commies, and they are torchbearers when they are nazies. They are unable to find the rational middleground, like ever. Eastern Europe is not a screwed up place because of Germans, or because of Russians, Eastern Europe is a screwed up place because of Eastern Europeans, who admire and hate Germans and Russians at the same time, they want to be like them, yet they want to fight them. They are indoctrinated to their master of choice at any given time, they dont think for themselves.

Lol yeah, there are this norther front inside the EU, which has very big mouth, when it comes to community, unfortunately those are the same guys who called the southern countries pigs, when the EU should have acted together in the 2008 financial crysis. So basically everyone accepted the realities, that scandinavian countries and Germany have their own ways. If they want something, then they should step up their production, not per capita, but total, because its their petproject, and be grateful for every single bullet arriving from the south.

@johaquila Yeah, I kind of remember when Merkel and co, the so called Northern states played that PIGS game in 2008 with Southern Europe, told Eastern Europe that we are on our own, used their hiena press to make racial slurs about the Greeks, informed Varoufakis, that while democracy is an important value, they dont give a crap about their national referendum, and when they dared to resist she destroyed their banking, sent people who were elected by noone to override the monetary decisions of sovereign states, by literally taking over the ministries of finance, and cherry on top meanwhile letting the biggest economy of the world to fall back to the third place and after that we are suprised, if someone is laughing in this "Europe is one big happy community with shared values" bullshit and that fascism is rising. Well it could be, but Germans blew it. They were shortsighted as usual. And now they let the Americans blow the winds ideologically, which is never ever a great idea, because for everyone's suprise, Americans are making policies for the Americans and dont give a crap about the EU. If you want to know why Orban is there where he is, its because the economic history of Hungary was a 30 years long austerity program from 1989 to 2008 lead by the IMF and the ECB, and people got goddamn enough, that the situation actually got worse after joining the EU, meanwhile Orban promised, that thistime the banks will pay.

As far as I remember, when Hungary joined the EU Germany already completed Nordstream 1 then they sabotaged the Nabucco project together with Chirac, so talking about any rule in existence about Russia inside of the EU which Hungary actually breach is kindof sycophantic. But I go further than that, in 2008 when Orban secured his presidency the socialist literally begged for help from the EU, and they got the answer, that the country is on its own. Which somewhat miraculously wasnt the case later, because mutte Merkel regularly showed support for Orban, even as long as 2020, when she tried to axe the legislation which even lets the EU parliament to consider these options. Or we can talk about how big role models the brexiteers are for the Hungarian extremists. There is a very grounded oppinion on the Hungarian population, that Orban is a mastermind, because somehow he always won the support of the EU at the end. So to speak against the evils of the Hungarian population is kindof a very sycophantic standpoint. As Russian opposition regularly say, that while we protested on the streets, your politicians shaked hands with Orban and Putin and congratualted each other in your football arenas. And while I never voted for Orban, I dont see your moral highground either, to talk about Hungary like that. You had your chance to deal with this a decade ago and you fcked it up. NATO is even more problematic. There is literally no NATO presence in Hungary for 3 decades, all the thing we know about them, that Americans are bragging about money, and what military hardware we should buy from them, giving or military equipmaent to other nations, then crying for more, we literally given all of our t72-s to the Ukries a decade before this war, now you want our Leopards as well, or that into which desert we must send our soldiers to die, and making enemies in places, where they didnt even heared about us. And that for a so called ally, whose every second word, is how it will leave Europe to China. I cant throw stone on anyone who thinks, that the whole thing is an utter joke, which we shouldnt be part of. To be honest you need more of us than we need you. If we leave NATO nothing changes for us tomorrow, but you will be no longer capable to reach Romania and Bulgaria on road or rail to resupply.

Any capitalist can tell you if he has a honest conversation, that his aim is to accumulate power. Not because they are evil, but because thats the logical outcome of the system. In a competitive environment there are winners and losers, those who win a lot will gain lots of resources, he will use these resoures to win even more, up to a point where he has thamuch power and resources that he can tilt the freemarket, and completely destroy anything outside of its reign. The best practitioner for this was Rockefeller, who made an entire monopoly with Standard oil, at the end he payed penalties to outcompete every single independent refinery and transport. And of course they use their resources to tilt the political system in their favor, if they can get the political power totally then we have fascism. Laws are not absolute, those can be and will be changed by them, if theres no resistance.

The thing what I never got about Canadians and Australians is that why did you march on the sides of those imbecile British. Seriously they never gave a crp about you, they sent in the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli in a criminal manner, they used you to manufacture their dated weapons designs, while their military was not just kindof a meh but a total meh. They stationed more troops in Singapore than in France and lost it to the Japs overnight. Ok I know Spitfire this Spitfire that, it wasnt that good of a plane, as soon as it flew over France it had as huge losses as the Germans had over Britain, even the allies had the P-51 Mustang which was absolutely superior in every respect, I would add that I personally think the BF-109 was a better plane, Germans could achieve a 100+ killcount with those, their tanks were laughable, their machineguns were more primitive than russian BB guns etcetc. Ok sticking with the Americans makes sense, they are strong and wealthy, you share a continent with them, maybe they had a questionable track record on some morality, but they nevertheless always treated their allies as equals, so its good to have them on your side, but the British?

@wekurtz72 Problem is, that they are putting way more into this than the west, and I dont care how much the theoretical worth of equipment the west is sending into Ukraine. It simply comes out that some military doctrines in NATO are dead wrong, 100 dumb munitions with 10-20% error are better than one precision munition, which costs the same. We cant rely on Javelins produced by 400 a year quantities, while Russians are capable to produce 800 tank a year. And even if a Tomahawks precision is 5 meters, it does not compensate the fact, that 60 of those produced yearly, while Russians made 1200 Kalibr in a single year. We have to learn from this. We wont win a war against Russia and China combined with money sinks like the F35. It was ordered to be a cheap easy to maintain state of the art fighterjet, and turned out to be a horribly overpriced craphole, which cant operate 30% of the time. yeah you win wars against the Afghans with these, not the Chinese who sends up 10 plane to intercept it on the same pricetag.

I dont care how many military installations you have in Germany. That means you protect Germany not me, not even the frontlines, from the wrath of the Swiss, or Luxembourg, or god knows whom, because Germany has all allied nations in its neighborhood. So that means te other 30 European country owns you nothing. Its like if you would ask gratitude from Cambodia, because you have military bases in the Philippines for protecting "Asia". BTW there is Europe east of the iron curtain, which means by definition, that you didnt protected Europe, just western Europe some 40 years ago. I have nothing personal against Americans or NATO, but facts are facts our GIs died in Afghanistan, wile not a single American GI ever died or set foot in my country, so that describe who owes whom.

@warlock64c Well, T-34 was indeed copied by the Germans to their Panther tank, while they called the Shermans lighers, because it was so easy for them to kill. And there is a reason why the allies waited for 1.5 years in Britain before even have a try to make D-day, because before that Germans could repel them easily. Yeah in Italy no suprise, that Italy was a second rank theater, and the bulk of the invasion happened in France, Where they had to face, mainly hitlerjugend guys, russian POW's rerecruited from concentration camps, and above aged pop with the fighting quality of a poorly trained militia, meanwhile the elite panzer troops were fighting in Russia. If Brits would be good against the real thing, they wouldnt have to swim across the channel when the germans beated the crap out of them at Dunkerque.

@janosozsvath2484 Ez azért nem egészen így van. Kik a Jólvanezígy megbízói:
Az Amerikai kormány
Kiről nem mond csúnyát a Jólvanezígy: az amerikai kormány érdekeltségeiről.
Vagy mutathatsz akár csak egy videót, amiben mondjuk Zelenszkijt, Ursulát, Cseh Katkát, Pressmant kóstolgatják úgy, mint Putyint. Úgyhogy ők nem mindenkiről mondják meg a frankót, csak azokról, akik nincsenek rajta a védett személyek listáján. Amúgy nézz rá a két gyerekre, egy értelmes mondatot nem tudnak elmondani magukban, szerintem a nagykövetségen gépelik az egész showt. A fele a rajongóiknak azért nézi őket, hogy megtudja ennyi aggyal mikor fog Töki vagy Löki szeme fennakadni a túlterheléstől.

Perszehogy tudom bizonyítani, ők maguk mondták el, hogy tízmilliót kaptak az amerikai nagykövetségről, rajta vannak a nagykövetség fizetési listáján, Fair right Ádám elkapta őket a parkolóban, és nem tudták elmagyarázni, hogy mik ezek a pénzek, szoval ez egy bizonyított tény. Mondtál egy embert Pressmant, már azt se tudom őt miért ne lehetne ugyanannyira kritizálni, mint Putyint, de ők nemcsak Pressmant nem kritizálják, hanem úgy kb senkit aki amerikai érdekeket képvisel, Ursulát, Cseh Katkát, lásd fent, ezek az emberek amúgy mind a te választott képviselőid, még az EUsok is. Az meg hogy Ábeléket megafonozzátok és NEResezitek csak ebben a kommentszekcióban hússzor fordul elő, amit mégha elméleti szinten egy percig igaznak is veszünk mint elvi legrosszabb eshetőséget, az mégiscsak egy magyar csoport, és nem egy külföldi ország, akinek egyáltalán nem valószínű, hogy számítana, az országod, vagy az életed, amikor döntéseket hoz a saját érdekében.

So you couped Scholtz Kuffner and now you want to tell him to form a colaition with a digusting rightwinger and completely destroy his party, because you said so. No, if I would be a German leftwinger I wouldnt form a coalition with mr Burns even if hells angels would be flying over my head.... If it was a patriotic duty to show German unity, then CDU should have offered support to the Scholtz government instead of forcing them out. You wanted a new election, the CDU could have just suported Scholtz as the chancellor they chose to coup him, so its their responsibility from now on how they want to govern. Reality is that CDU made this election out of an ego trip, they sabotaged German leadership, CDU voted down every single thime the Ampelcoalition when they tried to lift the debtbrake, and I would do exactly the same with the CDU if I would be a social democrat leader to return the favor, and if the social democrats wont make a deal with them they will be sitting ducks, the AfD or the Left will never support their militarization ideas, they are too few even with the Greens and Merz will be out in 2 years. If it was so important to you to maintanin the status quo you should have never sided with Merz.

@101jir They are constantly badmouthing Hungarian democracy, but thats not really the thing why we didn't ratify. I think initially we simply joined up Erdogan, because we have seen these kind of attacks against Turkey, and we consider them as allies, who shouldn't left alone.But now we have some problems, first of all, that we don't believe in their commitment, which is based on some polls taken on a telephone survey rather than a referendum, and we really don't like the idea that they wanna join in the middle of a very tense situation. In the days, when we joined, noone could join NATO who had such a problem as they seemingly have with Russia.

Well, the truth is, every single neighbor of Ukraine has serious issues about their handling of their minorities, so that part is true. They are not a nation state, but a multiethnic state, and should respect that. Ok Russia attacked them, but all the other countries didnt. No better proof than that Romanians, who are pretty much aligned with the western block elected a russian shill as their president, because they had enough with some things what ukrainians are doing, and espacially that their mainstream parties are sweeping it under the rug not to offend the western alliance. Sorry but facts are facts. Europe isnt built on ultranationalism, maybe we can wait till this war ends, but if they ever want to be part of the EU they have to change their ways, its not acceptable, that they are renaming historic cities, demolishing monuments, put their flag everywhere around, and making illegal if you speak a foreign language in their country. Its like telling a navajo that he cant speak navajo in his land, thats preposterous. We didnt give up our territorial claims on them so our people will be totally disrespected. So in a nutshell Ukrainians are pretty much like Russians, there arent thatmuch of a difference. They treat every non ukrainian as sht, and bossing around in their country, half of it stolen by Stalin and his cronies, behaving as the worst kind of colonialists.

My granddad barely escaped the Battle of Budapest. His regiment was ordered out into the Balaton two days prior the soviets enclosed the city. They were engineering corps most likely they would detonate the bridges, but Germans had a feeling that Hungarians wouldnt necessarily obey these orders. He told these stories how he was a lucky bastard during the war, he fought with the 1st Hungarian army stationed near Pripyat, they built roads there, while the 2nd army was stationed near Voronezh and was completely annihilated by the Soviets. When the Soviets caught him he wasnt even punished or interned although he was a volunteer in the Finnish side during the Winter war, that was his only active engagement, which he talked about. How the Hungarian government smuggled them out, since the Molotov Ribbentrop pact was in force, so they couldnt travel directly to Finnland, they went as a tourist group through Britain then they were educated on skying and winter warfare. He got a state medal from the Finnish government in 1990, he was very moved.

@danielgaspar1992 Ok, but the US made that growth literally by taking up debt and pushing that debt into their economy. EU debtrates are nowhere near US debtrates, there are countries in the EU which are close, but even those are not that indebted, they are 130% of their GDP, 36 trillion dollars, anyone with a rational sense knows they will never pay it back. Italy, you know with their irresponsible spending has a 110%, Greece when it defaulted had a 98%, those are big, but theres a Germany next to them with a 60% debtrate, there is noone next to the US, even if there would be the absolute amount is too much for anyone to give guarantee or bail them out. Any other country in the world would default with such a debt, so they are literally walking on eggs not to ruin their entire financial system. And its a tricky one, we know it in Europe, of course they can do austerities, but that will affect that growth that you described which was fuelled by that debt, if they dont have growth that means their debtrate wont decline, but their livingstandards and infrastructure will, so in the end they wont win thatmuch with it. If they default out that means the end of their banking system, their infrastructural loans, the petrodollar, and US empire forever.

Well, if you want Russian military bases in the middle of Europe, maybe some nuclear tipped Iskander missiles 5 minutes from Berlin, a bloodlust Serbia connected to the Russian military in a 400 km wide corridor, a NATO split into two segments, a Romania in more dire situation than the Baltics today, and mandatory drafting in all of Europe to try to protect this whole steaming pile of crap, we can talk about it... Lol if you antagonize the turks, you wont even have naval access to the Black sea dear. That would be the wettest dream of mr Putin, even the old tzars couldnt reach the Balkans as easy, to stir up trouble there. At least WWIII would break out in Europe again, not in China.

@Tejiknasten Peter Magyar is the spouse of Orban's justice minister, who stole 1.5 million Euros, while he held some shady government jobs. He was Orban's most loyal henchman up until the point that Orban didnt fire him. All of his buddies in the Tisza party are ex Fidesz people, who got out of the party because of some corruption scandals. His newest acquisition was the commander of the military a year ago who was fired because he built himself a luxury villa on government funds. I as a man, who never voted for Orban find even the slightest idea insulting, that I would vote for this corrupt piece of a sht. Its time for the EU to grow a spine, because it was the EU and Merkel who pushed and helped Orban into power in the firstplace, by accepting his corruption, and now the EU will make the same mistake again with Magyar. So that means that the EU not only will make Orban an enemy but the opposition as well, by pushing these rightwinger cronies on us. And objectively the problem why Magyar wont win is not the lack of popular support, but the lack of his party. Its only 50% what he can get on the list polls, the other 50% he has to win as local representatives, which he totally lacks, he cant present his picks now, whom anyone could elect in the coutryside now, and time is running out for him. He has 1 year left to make not just national, but local politics as well, and let the voters to get his MPs names, the general problem with people who come out of the void.

Well, some say that the American Revolution actually broke out because the slaver states sniffed out that the british wanted to officially ban slavery on their colonies, and they didn't want to be out of business. Other poor lads were fed with false propaganda, that there will be no taxes after the revolution, when they realised that the bigheads actually lied to them, Washington had to lead a military force to wipe them out. Maybe that was the time when the mob stormed the White House and throw a party there, so Mr President was forced to give up all of his wine and rum stocks, so the mob became totally drunk, and they could be handled that way, after which they installed the fence and official guards. Sorry, that latter happened under Andrew Jackson, the first great populist of modern times.

@johntuel2375 Dwan Ev ceremoniously soldered the final connection with gold. The eyes of a dozen television cameras watched him and the subether bore throughout the universe a dozen pictures of what he was doing.
He straightened and nodded to Dwar Reyn, then moved to a position beside the switch that would complete the contact when he threw it. The switch that would connect, all at once, all of the monster computing machines of all the populated planets in the universe -- ninety-six billion planets -- into the supercircuit that would connect them all into one supercalculator, one cybernetics machine that would combine all the knowledge of all the galaxies.
Dwar Reyn spoke briefly to the watching and listening trillions. Then after a moment's silence he said, "Now, Dwar Ev."
Dwar Ev threw the switch. There was a mighty hum, the surge of power from ninety-six billion planets. Lights flashed and quieted along the miles-long panel.
Dwar Ev stepped back and drew a deep breath. "The honor of asking the first question is yours, Dwar Reyn."
"Thank you," said Dwar Reyn. "It shall be a question which no single cybernetics machine has been able to answer."
He turned to face the machine. "Is there a God?"
The mighty voice answered without hesitation, without the clicking of a single relay.
"Yes, now there is a God."
Sudden fear flashed on the face of Dwar Ev. He leaped to grab the switch.
A bolt of lightning from the cloudless sky struck him down and fused the switch shut

Yep, we in Hungary pretty much know that, thatswhy we wouldn't fight the russians, just show them the fastest route to Western Europe. We never cried that virtually no NATO troops were stationed here ever, but we don't say we would die a heroic death like the baltics do. It was enough for us to defend you from the Mongols, the Ottoman Empire, the Russians, and everything comes from the east without any help for centuries, some of them even offering alliance if we let them pass through to Wien and Italy, and have our capital demolished multiple times, and our country decimated by western powers, what is actually a good thing now, because noone can use us as a staging ground. Now its your turn to defend yourself, we care for our own business. We take part on this alliance as long as it serves our interests and not longer. Of course everyone hates our politicians, because they are realists, and not joining the russian chinese or I don't konw how much bandwagon exists, but thats the best of our country, and other countries should take care for themselves. Sure most of the Eastern European countries are looking for the west with starry eyed naivete, because they didn't even exist 100 years ago, but we are here for 1000 years, we have already seen western treachery in action multiple times.

@vadymkuzeminskiy Democracies are superior to dictatorships exactly because they tend to report objectively, and see the problems and debate those. And I don't blame Ukraine, that they don't do it, they are in a war, and they have necessities. But I blame the western media, because they could form a better understanding for their citizens. Zelensky is pushed into continue this war by Boris Johnson, because Johnson's public oppinion is ill informed. So what happens if Ukraine loose? They sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people for what? Nothing! They could have a peace with concession of the Donbas and Crimea to Russia in last April, so westerners should really goddamn ensure, that they can make better circumstances for them, but they dont. The EU published a 600 pages long report, of why Ukraine is ineligible to be a member yet, and in the same day Ursula von der Leyen is giving a speech in the parliament, that immediately after the war they will be a rapid members. This is disgusting double gaming at least, making false hopes. Yep Zelensky is fcking goddamn right to ask fighterjets, and ATACMS and everything what he asks for, but not because its a hard fight against Russia benefitting Europe, but because western leaders constantly pushed him into this conflict, even threatened him, what happens, if he peace out, and now they help half heartedly, and Ukraine can do nothing about it.

@vadymkuzeminskiy But the reality is that with the force the west gives you, you won't take back those territories. The Russian military is prepared to fight NATO, not to fight Ukraine. Yes, they are seriously underperforming, but not that underperforming, that they would lose Crimea, or the Donbas. The firstone is fortified to the extreme, everyone can see the satellite images in New York times, the secondone is where their active military is standing. They have the advantage in artillery, air defense and even while they lost a ton, in main battle tanks, while Ukraine is in the advantage only in manpower. Yes they could be broken, but for that Ukraine would need F-22's F-35's, and at least a thousand warplane, and a thousand tanks, otherwise they plainly shoot down anything what is coming for them, and the casualties will be huge. Practically Ukraine would need a standing NATO military to make that offensive a success, but they won't invest that much into it. Yes spectacular things can be achieved with the 17 HIMARS, what the US gave, but on the other side they have 6000 artillery pieces. The best you can achieve is a stalemate with Russia and that will cost lives, lost infrastucture, and they will get what they would got in April. Thatshow I see it, by the oppinion of a ton of military analysts even in the west. Ukrainian bravery is not to question here, and its Ukraine's choice to commence, and we respect that, but its still a suicide mission, until you get NATO standing in Ukrainian soil. But two factors need to be taken into account: 1. EU doesn't have 1 trillion EUR in hand for reconstructing Ukrainian economy, and Europe is in recession, so it won't have it in the future. 2. They won't risk an allout nuclear war for Crimea. So at the end Ukraine will be crippled with a population, which is rightfully angry, and a humanitarian disaster for decades to come.

Imperial system is excellent, as long as you want to have just distance measurements, or weight measurements. It comes out how sucks it is, when you start density measurements, pressure measurements, or anything which comes from the composition of basic units, then comes the horrible calculation constants kicks in with pounds per square inch (why do you use inch for pressure, why dont you use feet, or anything else, is absolutely behind my comprehension, in SI its of course square meters), or pound per cubic feet (again if you used inch for pressure, why do you use feet for density, and miagine what happens if you want to calculate hydrostatic pressure, where you combine density and pressure, which have totally different units measuring the area component one in feet other in inch, it sucks on a very basic level). Scientists and engineers use the metric system even in the US because its more convenient, not out of some vanity. The two single imperial units which are making sense in a practical sense are the nautical mile, since its exactly one minute latitude, which could only described as 1830 meters, and knot which is one nautical mile per hour, so in navigation those are the easier units to use. But why to have statute miles if you have nautical miles is again weird, its like imperial users actually found a useful measuring unit then shy away from it.

@dannyjanssens8985 Did you really expect, that 16 rocket launchers will change the course of the war? Come on. Ukries are using their conventional soviet style military and especially artillery, thatswhy they are bragging any remaining soviet weapons in NATO. Now the problem comes, that western doctrine doesn't give a crap about artillery, western doctrine uses air superiority. Noone has such stockpiles to fund a pure artillery campaign against Russia, not because they are invincible, but because their doctrine is based on artillery superiority. Sure the west could ramp up production, but that takes time which the ukries didn't want to wait out. They realized in the Donetsk that they can't win an attritional war so now they try to push for a psychological offensive, and break the morale of the Russians. The Nazis tried it 2 weeks before the end of WWII to break through the Allied lines and reach Antwerp, and they made the US army flee for a time. They are doing these bridge and pipe attacks not because they are confident, if they would be confident they wouldn't give a crap about that bridge 500 km from the front in the middle of an offensive. They do it, because they are desperate.

@freemanreed5228 Yes it will backfire, but not on them. The Poles are readiing to take back Western Ukraine, don't be mistaken, they will do it. All Eastern Europeans are living on stolen lands in artificial states invented by the Brits and the French after WWI, and most of those are eventually failing, because they are kindof doomed to fail. To remain in Ukraine in my dad's lifetime they renamed Lemberg 4 times according to the new conqueror, who always lived there. It was Lvov, Lviv, and it was Lwow, when it was polish sacred land. The funny part, that its motto is semper fidelis, but noone knows to whom.

@jameshill4900 It is on the Wikipedia, plain and simple. Yeah Russia definitely didn't do it right, that it invaded Ukraine, but don't pretend, that Ukraine treated its Russian minority according to the Venice comission's requirements, what is as required international treaty as the one, which acknowledge ukrainian sovereignty, or by the way the sam packt which guaranteed indefinite access to Sevastopol to the Russian navy. The thing what you desperately need to understand, that you don't handpick which treaties promises or any other diplomatic actions will you recognize, and which will you dismiss as unimportant, because there will be war, as long as there is someone who has the force to seek his justice, and noone will care about the papers if they aren't held accountable.

If oorban wouldnt have vetoed the EU would be a full fledged tradewar with China, and Europe would be caught in the crossfire between China and the US, so be grateful he did, and Europe still have options instead of surrendering everyting to the US. Not to mention that Putin doesnt even want to talk any single EU country except Hungary, because the EU neither have the economic might nor the military might nor the diplomatic clout to force him into the table, ha can get everything from China and the US what he could get from Europe. These EU bureucrats are some of the lowest quality politicians Ive ever seen. Currently in the world everybody despises the EU, the US do, the Chinese do, the Russians especially do, BRICS countries and the global south is viscerally antagonistic because of the colonial past, Iranians and the Arabic states hate it because of palestine and the war on terror, it never had such a lowpoint in its history. And you want the people who led us here to have even more power... yes Europe can afford to maintain bad relation with one or two of those but not all of those, we need their technology, their resources, and their manpower.

His dad made Operation desert storm, and invasion of Panama his dad's ex boss made war on drugs, war on Nicaragua, and invasion of Grenada. His dad's ex bosses liar friend bombed Cambodia, elected Pinochet in Chile, and declared war on Laos. Not that democrats were way better. But from a very technical propagandistic standpoint US was never waged a war since WWII. There were "police actions", "helps to counter communism", "restorations of lawful regimes", "helps for freedom fighters, to counter unlawful regimes", "countering a possible invasion", and "WMD search and destroy missions" and "airspace closures" .

Dont worry they are doing it in Europe too. In France the only real leftwinger, Melenchon was completely ignored. Theres a law which forced the corpo media to run his ads, so they ran his ads between 2 am and 3 am. He won by a landslide. In Germany the official state news went in full blaze against Sahra Wagenknecht, she did come in second after the rightwing party and completely smashed the liberals. In Austria the actual communist party won two of their cities. People dont hate the left, or woke ore whatever, people actually hate the neoliberals, they would go way off to pnish them. Just watch out, when they feel their powers are waning, they will try to form pseudo leftists groups and news outlets, which will call themselves leftist but will always promote liberals, corporate culture, status quo, some of them even dare to promote rightwinger candidates as saviors, so the usual BS, we seen that too. If George Soros is lurking around thats a telltale sign that the org cant be trusted.

Theres actually a difference between taking back land from Ukraine, or caring about their territorial losses to other nations. We coluld say, its not our responsibility or problem, we actually never told them that we will defend those lands, or their territorial integrity, and even if we would do it, that would serve the interests of Hungarian homeland defense only, not taking into consideration any Ukrainian interests. That would be the politics towards Romania as well, yeah we would go there with our military, but not to save Romanians from Russian occupation, but to stop them in Romania before they could reach us with any damage pushed to their territory regardless of its consequences to the local populace. So lets face it everyone is better off if we dont show up. @martavdz4972

You actually know, that Ukraine can't win this war, but the human race can be obliterated from this planet? Those, who are panicking are very right to do so. In the cold war, there were shoulder mounted nuke launching systems, to stop tank bataillons but now everybody thinks, that Russians wouldn't use such stuff, if they would be in dire situtation. Of course they would, thatswhy they have 3000 warheads. Now more than ever we need leaders, whom Putin actually trusts, and whose words are golden, thats in the best interest, of Ukraine, Russia and the West as well. Not yellow haired clowns, who try to hide their covid parties behind WWIII warmongering, and bloodlust democrats, who thinks that their favie was ousted by evil Vlad.

The only foreign policy point which cant be explained by the Russians or the Chinese are simply cheaper is the Swedish accession, and there are a ton of counterargument against that. First of all Turkey is an official military ally in NATO, Sweden is not, so it is a basic to listen to what they want. Secondly there wasnt a referendum in Sweden for succession so the whole commitment is questionable. Thirdly the finish and swedish succession equates the EU and NATO, which should not be the case, in a modus vivendi with Russia, where states like Ukraine or Georgia acn become EU members without being NATO members. We wont lie to anyone, we will never go to war for those nations, which would be a requirement under NATO, I personally even consider giving the Baltics NATO membership as a mistake, their land is undefendable, and only overtretch the capabilities of NATO. If the baltics or Poland want to go to war with Russia over Ukraine or Georgia, theres no legal barrier to give them unilateral security guarantees. We were once under Stalingrad with the united European army, that was enough for 1000 years.

No dear we entered NATO a decade before the Baltics did, when we entered there was a NATO partnership with Russia, not a single word about a continental war looming around, and there are no regulations of letting in anyone, who we dont like, or simply dont want to die for, and not to promise such things is the actual right thing to do. And no Hungary 100% obliging NATO regulations, thtaswhere you are mistaken, you are the ones, who try to breach the rules, by trying to pressure us into things, we never ever applied for. NATO regulations are clear as sky, an unanimous vote is required for a new member to be taken in, and no country with an ongoing war, or territorial dispute allowed in ever. Not a single hungarian droplet of blood will fall for the recapture of Crimea. Deal with it. @Kalimdor199Menegroth

@cowboyx9380 You told that it didn't exist, and I tell you it did exists. Well, as far as the Budapest Memorandum goes, there is a minor issue, which everyone forgets. It not just contains nuclear disarmament, but it also contains a clausule, that Russia can rent the Sevastopol harbour indefinitely from Ukraine. Now the problem lies, that Ukraine actually gave a deadline to Russians to get out of that port, so they basically nullified the contract. Guess, that Ukrainian leaders are not as childish to not know this would mean war with Russia. Putin actually put in great effort to disarm the situation, and helped to oust Timoshenko, but then Maidan happened and hell broke loose.

@Last555555555 They have total control over the seas my friend, but Ukrainians could show off that they send out any vessel to the sea and it isn't blown up by the Russians. So they had a lucky shot for the Moskva, that doesn't mean, that they grew a navy. Remember the Germans did sank the Hood, and the Ark Royale, does that mean, that they won the war, or that it werent the British, who ruled the seas? They were, because they were the ones, who could use surface boats whenever they wanted, while the Germans had to hide from them.

Lol just dont think that you are not authoritarian. Yannis Varoufakis told it all, there are liberal authoritarians, who dont give a damn about democracy at all (look the Irish and Greek referendum they torped, and their constant blackmailing, and pushing exactly the same agenda in every single country), and there are the conservative authoritarians. Theres no democracy, its officially dead, one bunch is more antidemocratic than the other, and tries to win outside of the ballots. No matter how many CDU or SPD or Green named parties you have those are all puppet parties of the liberal authoritarian establishment, not real choices, and whoever would be a real choice is labelled as far right by their media. These parties are like Putin's selected opposition, a selected few who could play their role in the drama pretending tat they represent the will of the people.
