The day is much shorter in the middle winter, so it never was about daylight being left after work. I agree if there is less than 8 hours of daylight and you work 8 hours or more in a factory or an office it doesn't matter much which hours are dark and which aren't.
But not every soldiers' first priority are justifying their actions. Please note that the title of this post is insinuating that all veterans are to blame, not some or even the majority of them. Also note the title omits the bosses, the people who gave the orders.That is why I replied. We would only disagree if you'd believe the boss isn't guilty because he didn't do the execution of his plans.
I'm saying we shouldn't blame the soldiers on the choices of their leaders, I'm not saying we shouldn't blame the soldiers for their own choice. I totally agree they could've chosen to not to follow orders. I'm not saying they are innocent. But their role is not comparable to the role of the people giving orders.
O i totally agree, this is exactly why i started with 'this is might get a lot of downvotes'. But the crimes on the pictures where not crimes by individual soldiers. These things were done by individuals who were told to. I'm not saying that makes them innocent, I'm saying they weren't the most guilty. The most guilty in my opinion are the men who scheme and think up of plans like this, and then order others to execute it.
Well if you pick permanent summer time it's gonna be light hella late in winter so you might not know it but it might matter much to you. Although I don't know you and maybe it truly wouldnt matter to you
Yes, but the EU is split into four time zones now and if you implement this technically there would be many more:
8 if we'd have 30-min time-zones
16 if we'd have 15-min time-zones
24 if we'd have 10-min time-zones
48 if we'd have 5-min time-zones
240 if we'd have 1-min time-zones
I'm not saying we should keep dst, but we can't have everyone have midday at 12:00 and midnight at 00:00.
This might get a lot of down votes but I want to say I don't think it's fair to blame the soldiers in the field for the choices of the decision makers in the office. Those horrible events were unwanted 'byproducts' of the goal of men with evil plans, they were not veterans going off-book. In other words, these veterans did what was asked of them. I'm not saying they didn't do some very bad things, but they aren't the people that should be 'thanked'.
True. Probably the sentiment is based on real feelings of real people, but I see this easily could be used to by a foreign power to further push the divide. There's reason to look out for that.
There might be a big difference in how Canadian government deals with this and how western-european governments do. Sounds like far-right is hijacking the subject, where as here the far-right used to be pro-trump and pro-putin and now have to stay quiet in order to keep their voters from walking away.
Our government is being realistic (If you ask me) about changes in defense, but only the opposition is questioning things like the government being dependent on American cloud services and American financial systems. Nobody in the government seems serious about supporting EU initiatives over the status quo. That's why I'm 'happy' these at least these warnings/updates are being released.
I read something like the travel (or air movements?) between us and Canada decreased 70%, so issueing some kind of warning/update wouldn't make much sense anymore anyways
I agree with you on the not going along with russian bots and giving space to their propaganda. I'm not pointing to wether you should be concerned of what is happening within the United states, but about what is happening between the us and it's allies. This split is not caused by russian bots online, but by the current us government. I agree Russia is likely involved, but the answer in not staying quiet. You can call this echoing anti-American propaganda, but dismissing it as such makes you vulnerable to tolerating this split happening as opposed to moving against it.
