Or put another way: While there are bad things coming from the EU, there are actually often also pretty good things coming from it. It’s all relative of course, but I also can’t see another place where I would rather live.

It worked for oat milk. I’m buying “no milk” all the time 😅

Most of the time in favor of the last person he talked to, if that person knows at least a little bit how to handle him (and Putin most certainly does). As soon as I heard that they would talk, I knew he would drop some pro-russian taking points again.

Well, need to have good mechanisms to keep it democratic (where Russia and the US fall short). But yeah, not as easy as “just do it, lol” 😅

Because of that, I actually considered for a moment that some government official in denmark is called Lee Jae Myung. 😅

I would say the rest of NATO should be able to hold against Russia for sure, especially in its current state.

I would just be worried about short-term problems because of disrupted logistics due to the US withdrawing. Or maybe that other countries would follow the US in leaving.

But in the end, that is just my guess.

What a stupid timeline, in which the above is true🙄

Eh, a few days from now Trump will say something like “I had an amazing call with Putin. He is a great guy, Ukraine should surrender now”. Dude can’t remember what he said yesterday.

I agree with you, but I would bet Slovenia is not very high on the “where to invade next” list😅

He wouldn’t even ban them. The current discussion is just about initiating the process with the Bundesverfassungsgericht (“supreme court”), which would then decide whether to ban them. But what do I know? 😑

Reciting every day in school how great your country is, is peak brainwashing to me. When I learned about that, it was so weird to me.

Over all the complaining going on about the old traffic coalition, I forgot how bad CDU-led governments are :(

I hate this timeline

For real. To me it seems everyone is sleeping on that, but some deep EU reform seems one of the most important things to me (maybe even the most important thing?). We will never be able to get stuff done if hungary can just block everything even remotely good

Agree. That is such an america centric view. Why would italians give enough fucks about DOGE to burn a Tesla store about it. Being a Nazi is what is our primary issue with Musk here in Europe.

Or people not in uniform seemingly. Easiest time ever to actually kidnap people: Get your thugs together, get a van, kidnap your target person from the street, while yelling “shut up, we are the police”. Outcome is essentially the same

Also they might just deport you to some concentration camp in El Salvador for having the wrong tattoo and who knows if you can get out of there ever again. I wouldn’t trust anyone saying “they would never do that to tourists” at this point.

Well, you won’t see me entering the US anytime soon.

Still needs a 2/3 majority in the Bundesrat (the “Senate” of germany). The votes should be there, but it is not 100% a given, because of some state governments with mixed opinions. They will vote on it in a session on friday. Let’s hope for the best!

Article 7 now! How much more “breaching of EU values” we need to see for something to be done? 😐

I hope not, but now Slovakia might jump in instead though.
