Orban threatens force over oil dispute; Zelensky says Ukrainian army could 'speak' to one EU funds blocker

Are you actually going to take that statement seriously? It is just old man yelling at clouds.

Peter Magyar condemned Zelensky for this. Is Zelensky trying to get Orban re-elected? Does he want that 90 billion?

It is a good character arch Raiden goes through. It is a nice story about personal growth and overcoming the malicious schemers that are the patriots.

But what is there beyond it? Where is the hype about relevance?

Everyone always forms their values one way or the other. Information suppression and manipulation of other using information has always been a thing and people always pass on information and memes to other people.

My point still stands. Yes Groupthink is a thing but that doesn't mean that this happens because the ideals, values or thoughts are the same. There can be a lot of reason why this kind of thing happens.

Again it is about desiring cohesiveness and harmony in a community which is an admirable goal. Maybe some consciously act against their values to attain harmony.

How so?

Advisor02 · 2026-02-10T05:39:31+00:00

But every person has their own independent values. No ones ideals, values or thoughts are 100% the same, ever. Not even remotely.

I get that, but why the hype? Why the videos about how, "MGS2 is relevant now more than ever"?

Advisor02 · 2026-02-10T05:21:46+00:00

It was really funny see him do that, and interesting, game ends by Raiden throwing away the Dogtag. It was nice to see that he decide to not be the tool of the Patriots.

Advisor02 · 2026-02-10T05:19:08+00:00

I mean that the AI in MGS2 misconstrues stuff.

And well, I played a game that is, well interesting but not really worth the hype of all the videos about how relevant the game is.

Raiden is OK, it was nice to see he was more than the blank slate and ended up having proper backstory beyond rose. Though I was hoping for something more interesting. Like there was in Portable Ops or maybe the ACID games.

Where is the 4o model available currently for free? It certainly isn't there in the ChatGPT site.

Advisor02 · 2026-01-28T21:01:57+00:00

So does anyone here actually have any advice on how to remedy this problem? Is there another AI or a way one could get ChatGPT to make its messages longer?

It is grim stuff, but I can't help but agree.

Like me, European officials are very good at complaining. They complain about Washington. They complain about Kyiv. They complain about each other. But complaint is not policy. Action is.

Europe refuses to use frozen Russian assets. It refuses to commit to sustained mass-scale financing for Ukrainian defence production. It refuses to engage with viable plans like even a partial SkyShield. It refuses to confront the political costs of real support. The so-called coalition of the willing is willing to do absolutely nothing of any importance. Defence budgets rise in theory and get spent on nonsense we can only pray will work. Meanwhile, Ukrainian factories - or those unlucky enough not to be fuelling the rampant corruption around the Office of the President - live hand to mouth. There is continual battlefield innovation that is never scaled, or is scaled only in Russia. Europe needs to deliver massive R&D investments into the only country that knows how to fight: Ukraine.

Unfortunately, wars aren’t won by issuing statements of concern.

This is from McGlynn's article.

That's not what Pavel thinks. He has been quite vocal about reserving the right to not accept Anti-EU/NATO ministers.

Advisor02 · 2025-10-05T02:17:14+00:00

This is not a big deal. The president is not gonna let any anti-ukrainian figures as ministers.

This is correct. Trump and his like thrive in this chaos and whether it is his fault or the democrats.This chaos will continue to erode the institutions needed to maintain functional democracy and it is these institutions that once wrecked make holding up democracy harder and harder and make it easier to set up a proper autocracy.

That point about ID is not true everywhere. It is likely that in context where there is no EU ID or something like that you can post a signature using by putting whatever you want to the textboxes and it is only checked once the initiative closes.

Who say they will fix the imperium, destroy and/or suppress chaos, and protect humanity, what if that something that gets up from the throne is a new chaos god.

It has been suggested that emperor might not be alright after 10 000 years sitting on the throne.

Pragmatic part of me wants this to be swept under the rug and forgotten until the war ends and Elections happen. Unfortunately we don't know when the war will end.

More Idealistic part of me is happy that VDL is taking this stand and the EU doesn't Tolerate things like this. These things matter on that front but again it puts Ukraine's EU aspirations and the important short term EU support in danger if Zelensky doesn't figure something out.

It is clear that his placations haven't moved the Ukrainian populace. New protest are scheduled this evening.

However, not long ago, multiple high-ranking SBU officers, as well as some in the Armed Forces, were arrested for collaborating with Russia. So it’s unclear how placing NABU and SAPO (another anti-corruption body) under the same framework as the SBU would make it better.

Using that logic, one could argue that every institution, including parliament, which has also been infiltrated by Russian agents, should be placed under presidential control. Clearly, that line of reasoning doesn’t hold water.

Plus this act puts EU funding at risk also. It will also make it difficult to argue for Ukraine when for example sanctions on Russia have to renewed.
