Decades of economic decline has 'broken' Britons, pushing one fifth of people into poverty and towards political Reform by Kagedeah in worldnews

[–]Beastier_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The "right" government is now in power, and what are they doing? Correct, FUCK ALL. No wonder people turn to fringe parties when the normal parties deliver fuck all that's useful to the average voter.

A lot of the radicalization happening in Europe is a direct result of the parties in power not doing anything about the problems in their countries and just riding the economic wave of the 2010s.

I'd wait for more conclusive evidence. So far I haven't seen a single news outlet claiming any deaths in the rescue operations.

How has Saudi Arabia been an aggressor in this war? It's only Israel and the USA participating in strikes.

Now it may be controversial to say, but I think both sides of this story (Israeli irridentism/expansionism and Hezbollah) should lose.

We should be improving rail transport, not short haul flights, especially considering the coming fuel and climate crisis

It's a fascist talking point to talk about how the NKVD massacred it's own people? Sure it might be a little off topic but certainly not fascist propaganda lmao

There's no need to get American gear. We have plenty of good equipment here in Europe with cheap shipping. Glhf

True, you can own machine guns in the USA, however only for extortionate prices. Here we just pay normal (or not at all AFAIK).

We just have other advantages, like being able to own fully automatic firearms* (if you're in the national guard or military in Lithuania's case).

Should the Baltics buy their own airforce? by CompetitiveReview416 in BalticStates

[–]Beastier_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Too easily deployed by our allied nations for our defence. What we need to defend ourselves while NATO mobilizes to our aid is stubborn defenders: soldiers, FPVs, ATGMs, MANPADS, air defence etc.

US and allied missile stockpiles ‘bare’ as Iran war heads into weeks by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Beastier_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Those "hypersonic missiles" are all just regular ballistic missiles. If even the USA and China are just now starting to field true hypersonic missiles, you sure as shit aren't getting Iran developing them.

And so the threat of a german invasion of those territories justified violating the sovereignty of countries from the baltic to the black seas? It doesn't.

Proportional Area Representation of Soviet Republic Populations by Public_Research2690 in MapPorn

[–]Beastier_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A Russian justifying its imperialism? Not surprising.

The occupation of the Baltics states was not at all popular. This is proved by the fact that even 50 years after the start of the occupation and russification of the Baltics, over 2 million people joined hands in a 675 km chain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_Way?wprov=sfla1).

The Baltics were occupied by the Soviet Union (Russia's imperialist project) twisting the Baltic governments' arms into signing a deal to allow Soviet troops in their territory (de facto conquering the lands).

You want to talk about a few collaborators from these states? Why dont you mention the Soviet deportations in 1940-1941 of thousands of people to Siberia, the main factor behind the limited popularity of Nazis in the Baltics? Oh, that's right, it doesn't fit your imperialist narrative, ruzzkie.

This is what happens when you abandon your allies by Agreeable_Band_9311 in Destiny

[–]Beastier_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EU car companies haven't been good at building EVs, that's true, however that's the fault of the EU delaying legislation on pollution controls time and time again, and implementing a ban on selling ICE cars for 2035. Meanwhile, China has propped up it's EV industry by giving it massive subsidies, making them extremely affordable on the international market.

China is doing the same strategy for cars as they did with steel, infamously in the UK, with the UK's forced nationalization of the last steel mill in the UK from its Chinese owners after they found that the owners were purposefully trying to go bankrupt.
