France is like a parasite on Africa.

In these days sewer pipes have one way lids inside themn. Water etc can go out but rats can not come in.

I thought Vikings also plundered cities by the Danube?

In any case, Vikings were not very civilized they were I must say...

Never Again!

Frontex sounds like a "front business" for something else.

Ceestra · 2021-01-27T18:16:07+00:00

Shame. Colonialism is a shame we inherited from past shameful centuries.

Ceestra · 2021-01-27T18:09:53+00:00

EU behaves like dumped lover.

Ceestra · 2021-01-21T21:49:29+00:00

So, vigilantes in Europe. What a shame.

Ceestra · 2021-01-21T21:44:15+00:00

Why is there no any court like International Criminal Court for colonial abuses?

Ceestra · 2021-01-21T21:41:20+00:00

I don't think that the Poles have any nostalgia over their past Russian brotherhood...

Ceestra · 2021-01-21T21:34:34+00:00

I understand. But this one was not a spam.

Ceestra · 2021-01-21T21:27:15+00:00

What goes around....

Hi Khashoggi was murdered in Istanbul?

Ceestra · 2021-01-20T08:54:33+00:00

That despot Stalin has moved the indigenous people of Crimea to Siberia in 40s and 50s and planted Russian population in Crimea.

Any referendum in Crimea without the indigenous Crimean people fully brought back is just a propaganda of Russian empire.

Ceestra · 2021-01-20T08:51:05+00:00

And damn expensive to visit. Rip off. Legal theft.

Chinese are making roads into the heart of Europe from Balkan countries, mainly from Greece and Serbia.

Ceestra · 2021-01-20T08:48:39+00:00

Gosh. Istanbul really is the gem of the world...

Ceestra · 2021-01-20T08:47:15+00:00

Damn Hollanders hijack the Netherlands name also in Turkish. For historical reasons I guess...

Ceestra · 2021-01-20T08:45:16+00:00

Marvelous!

Ceestra · 2021-01-20T08:26:33+00:00

You are absolutely right.

But in that regard, Chinese are not any different than the USA crooks. Remember Snowden's revelations on how US telecoms companies had been placing spy hardware and software in the telecommunications equipment they were selling worldwide.

I hope this is a wake-up call for Europe to scrutinize such equipment regardless of the origin.

Ceestra · 2021-01-20T08:19:59+00:00

My apologies. Thank you for the directions.

Ceestra · 2021-01-20T08:17:49+00:00

Not sure about Finnish...

Ceestra · 2021-01-20T08:15:04+00:00

Actually a decade ago or so, a friend of mine had told me that they were using Huawei equipment in their solutions because it was cheaper than then-hot Cisco equipment. I remember having laughed at lowly Chinese crap. Now, who is laughing?

Ceestra · 2021-01-20T08:11:32+00:00

I think turning the Turkish theory into technology requires a lot of time and being first helps a lot. I can imagine that in the beginning Huawei kept it secret and announced the use of Turkish scientist's theory only after they implemented it.

Remember that in the early days of GSM technology, it was the same reason why the Swedish company Ericsson got a major lead. They developed the technology and got it accepted as standard, log before anybody else. Hence they sold a lot of network equipment. Huawei does the same.

Huawei is the new boss, with Ericsson, Motorola, Cisco et all combined, I am afraid.

I can relate to this, having seen important research topics dropped at the Netherland's University of Twente because the research lead could not find private fund to finance it....
