While it’s true that Ukraine is not attacking Iran, they have sent military personnel to assist defending against incoming Iranian attacks, so the US and Israel can continue their war in Iran instead of diverting more resources to protect GCC countries.
So I’d argue both statements are true: Ukraine is not attacking Iran, but they are supporting the US and Israel.


*Lebensraum
Liebensraum would be closer to “love room”


Nah, just like 1936 the fascists will be on their best behavior. Once the party is over though …


A couple hundred people driving across the border to fill up their gas tanks is nothing compaired to the fuel usage of an entire nations industry. Please don’t pit the average person against eachother.


It’s never too early for TACO Tuesday!


water subsidies, free public transport for residents under 26 years old, and free school meals and educational supplies.
Imagne being afraid of providing the funds necessary for these things …


It’s called Bigger Gun Diplomacy.


They know how to play his ego?


How so?
One of the main reasons the EU is perceived as weak is the required unanimity on important topics. This is often made impossible or at least very costly by the likes of Orbán who effectively holds the other 95% of the EU hostage. Throwing him out would send a clear signal that one cannot work against the block with no consequences.
The EU has famously lost a member before and survived. On the contrary now look where the UK is heading. Back to the fold it seems. Just this time around there will be far less if any privileges.


Four years of progress undone by a deranged orange in a matter of days.


Depending on which language you speak I can recommend Arte, a French-German cooperation.


How so? Orban is Putins inside man at the top level of the EU.


I like the allusion to the propaganda piece American Sniper.


I’ll drink to that. /s
For the uninitiated: A couple of years ago a new hot beverage took German Christmas markets by storm: Lumumba. Hot cacao, with a shot of rum and as option a topping of whipped cream. Given nobody knew and probably still doesn’t know about Patrice Lumumba, even less about how he died, the irony or racism if you want to go that far, is lost on most people.


OK, let me put it this way: I set up 50 shell newspapers that push 100 articles per day along the line of “Politician A is a reptilian”, “Government Y is hiding aliens”, etc. Do you really think it is productive work for an administration to a) find these statements, b) research the validity (after all an otherwise unknown agency could really be hiding aliens), c) rebute or confirm the statement and d) enforce the rebuttal?


An AI chatbot? A technology that’s notorious for making shit up is supposed to analyze the truth behind a random statement?


That’s a terrible idea. Administrations would have to issue statements 24/7.
I don’t think that’s what’s Trump intends to do after leaving NATO.
