In terms of Russia they only need hardware that is strong enough to bully their neighbors. They have nuclear weapons, they're not going to war with China or America any time soon.

I love the brotherhood of these two nations, but Sweden would be much safer if Finland went ahead and joined.

You mean like the bases in half of Europe as part of a strong defense military alliance that noone wants to fuck with?

Yeah I take that security over being proud of standing alone

Taking a call from a head of state in Taiwan is equivalent to denying that the CCP rules China, in their perspective. Trump was also lambasted for doing this when he was elected president of the US.

The “coup” bit is kinda colorful language to refer to a sudden shift in diplomatic relations… clickbaity, but not really untrue. Edit: to clarify, I’m not sure what the Czech stance is on Taiwan but I’m speaking from the US perspective of strategic ambiguity.

gonna save and check back on this tomorrow

I haven’t heard a lot of talk about gun reform after this recent Monterey Park shooting. Media has been covering it, but none of the usual hysteria and oversaturated, sensationalized commentary. I actually prefer the relative cool-headedness everyone’s been handling it with this particular tragedy.

You better not bomb a facility from which we do not buy drones! But if you do, we won't care, because we do not buy drones from there...

Stop discriminating against Everyone! I'm a proud member of the Everyone community!

It's not like governments have 1000 ways to raise money... Just a random idea: make weed legal and put a tax on it where the money goes specifically to the retirement fund.

Now to be more serious, Macron just lifted a corporate tax and that amount is more or less what will be missing for the retirement fund in the coming years. So you could just roll back and avoid creating the problem in the first place. We just reached full employment in France (below 5%), companies don't need to have tax relieves right now. Keep that for a time when large corporations don't register humongous yearly profits. Just common sense at this point.

Also it's easy for people to say from their safe homes fuck Russia and go Ukraine while innocent people are dying. The war was not the solution at all. They should have avoided war and now it's being fueled more. I don't want to Ukraine to lose (as a person from former USSR country I don't like Russia either, not the people) but is the end goal here?

Dumb talk

So, you all speak a Slavic language? Putin thinks you belong in his club...

Hush, little brother. The big boys are talking.

Mild amounts of tomfoolery and dare I even say, silliness

If you are a Brit reading this;

This is where all the Tory anti-protest and anti-strike legislation ends up.

That’s the one
