'Annexed' countries?

So China is allowing the resupply of Philippines' Marines then without trying to bully the resupply ships into giving up?

German ministers: "First time?"

It’s obscene because it perverts the definition of genocide, which is precise: “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.”

Even if being charitable, isn't Israel looking to, at least in part, destroy an ethnical group?

Because humans are animals, ruled by emotion and superstition.

Just goes to show what western military support can do. Hopefully we'll see more support in the near future.

Concerning NATO expansion, I've got an entertaining link for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVmmASrAL-Q&t=1020

Or at 17:00 if the direct link doesn't work

Not only did Putin do excellent PR for NATO, Putin absolutely validated NATO's entire existence. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania would not be free, indepedent countries today without NATO. They certainly wouldn't be supporting Ukraine as much as they have. And say what you will about individual countries, but NATO is proving itself once more a defensive pact. With people dying to rocket debris in Poland, russian drones going down in Romania, US drones being downed and UK planes being shot at over international waters, NATO would have plenty of reasons, if they wanted to escalate their rhetoric towards Putin. But they didn't, because NATO isn't interested in becoming an active participant in this war.

Pacifism is great and all, but Putin clearly shows that you need to be able to defend yourself, if you don't want your rights and your freedom eroded away by foreign interests. Granted, no military will help you defend against threats to your rights from within, but it makes it at least less likely that those threats from within get backing from foreign threats.

This is exactly what I am thinking as well. Russia is clearly threatening the stability of the EU right now. If the EU wants to send a strong signal against aggression and meddling, it needs support Ukraine in a way that makes it clear to any would-be-adversary, that the EU is willing and capable to defend itself and its allies.

Just because you live in the US doesn't mean the rest of the west is treating its citizens the same.

And that is why they usually only 'free' kids. They don't know any better.

I mean... at least Milei is true to his beliefs. It sound like he didn't try to block the protest, but he is trying to have them pay for the expenses.

We are seeing a clash between the old, right-wing government that is not afraid to bend or break rules in order to stack the political landscape in their favor and the new coalition that wants a return to normalcy, which can't or won't bend the rules in order to reverse the damage PiS has done to the polish democracy. This could become a grid lock for years. If I remember correctly, the polish presidents' term lines up with the new governments' term, so the best they can hope for is winning the next election again.

I really hope Poland and the US can bounce back from their respective wanna-be dictators. It would make me much more hopeful for western democracies and Hungary specifically.

And also allow troops to be trained early and thoroughly.

Someone should invite Orban to a vacation in Donetsk. Since there is no war, I'm sure he'll gladly accept.

No

Most people just don't care enough in my opinion. When it comes to politics, all they want is to be left alone. They just look for the first piece of media that confirms their biases and be content with that. I think that's why conservative fearmongering works so well. All they have to do is to convince those persons that the left wants to tell them how to live and that is enough for those people to trust that conservative media.

Be Putin
Announce NATO expansion is no threat
Pull most troops from the Finnish border, because holy fuck, Ukraine has turned the entire army you had at the start into sunflower fertalizer
Have all the units you pulled from the Finnish border incur astronomical losses, because you want to present any win at the next election
Declare Finland a threat again
Move the broken units back up to the border
Profit
