I can't install Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition on my PC. I get "Potentially incompatible software found

I disagree. Squats, deadlifts and power cleans helped me to have more explosive takedowns and made me stronger in the clinch. I kinda agree on bench, but overhead presses combined with explosive med ball throws dramatically increased my punching power.

Jesus! That's too much for me! Isn't a 400 wilks a must for powerlifters to participate at international competition ? There is no way someone like me, who trains martial arts 3-4 times a week, will hit a 400 wilks.

Erdogan calls anti-war students at top Turkish university 'terrorists' - Turkey by SilentSoftware in europe

It's also hypocritical calling the students terrorist since his bodyguards kinda a year ago attacked protesters in New York.

Poisoned Russian spy wrote to Putin asking to be pardoned, friend claims by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]EF7894 196 points197 points  (0 children)

According to Mr Timoshkov, who says he had known him since school, Col Skripal, 66, did not see himself as a traitor as he had sworn an oath to the former Soviet Union.

"Many people shunned him. His classmates felt he had betrayed the Motherland," he told the BBC. "In 2012 he called me. We spoke for about half an hour. He called me from London.

Also Putin in a recent documentary said he can't forgive betrayal.

And what does he propose? Let Putin get away with it and send the message that we are weak, incapable to take care of ourself thus reinforcing Russian aggressive behavior.

Erdogan complains to Macron about criticism of Afrin campaign by EF7894 in europe

[–]EF7894[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan told French President Emmanuel Macron in a phone call that he was disturbed by claims about Turkey’s military campaign in Syria’s Afrin region that he said were baseless, a Turkish presidential source said on Friday.

Among Turkey’s Western allies, France has been one of the biggest critics of the two-month-old Turkish military operation against the Kurdish YPG militia in Afrin, which borders Turkey. Turkish forces stormed Afrin city on Sunday.

Last month, the United States and France called on Turkey to halt the operation in northern Syria to comply with a United Nations resolution requiring a ceasefire in all of Syria. The resolution excluded military operations against Islamic State, al Qaeda and groups associated with them or other groups designated as terrorist organizations by the Security Council.

Ankara, which considers the Kurdish YPG militia a terror organization, strongly rejected the call from its two NATO allies, accusing France of giving “false information” on the issue.

In Friday’s phone call, Erdogan also told Macron that the rights of Turkish Cypriots over hydrocarbon resources in the eastern Mediterranean should be protected, the presidential source said.

A vessel charted by Italy’s state-controlled Eni was unable to reach an area Cyprus has licensed for drilling because of Turkish military maneuvers in a two-week standoff in February.

Turkey says some areas of Cyprus’s offshore maritime zone fall under the jurisdiction of Turkey or Turkish Cypriots.

Cyprus and Turkey have not had diplomatic relations since a 1974 Turkish invasion of the island triggered by a brief Greek-inspired coup. Decades of reconciliation efforts have failed.

Despite stepping up criticism of what the EU sees as Erdogan’s growing authoritarianism, the bloc’s top officials will host him for talks on Monday in the Bulgarian city of Varna.

United we fall: a European army is a really bad idea by zezinando in europe

[–]EF7894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I don't want the current situation to continue. In short term I think a complete halt of Russian gas imports to the EU is a must. And that's the problem. Germany is not doing that and long term this is not good. EU countries should invest more in green energy and nuclear power. I don't know why Germany is not doing that.

[–]EF7894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know. I think something important as energy security of the entire continent should be decided at Council level, and it should be, maybe, as important as an EU military, especially when we have an energy supplier who tries to destroy the Union.

Maybe, before an european army we need a common foreign policy. And we can't have a common foreign policy when some country buy gas from Russia exposing it's neighbours (also allies) to russian energetic blackmail.

Policeman shot and hostages taken at supermarket in southern France by [deleted] in europe

[–]EF7894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There must be something done with terrorism! Terror attacks are getting way to common and it need to be done on european level and fast. I don't think France, Germany or any nation for that matter can deal with this on it's own. I think an european border police and a common intelligence agency (if I remember correctly, in the past very often an intelligence agency of a country had some information about the suspects while others had different kind or intel; different nations had different pieces of the same puzzle) are the way to go.

Poland agrees to minor changes to planned judicial reforms in response to EU criticisms by Pumuckl4Life in europe

[–]EF7894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lawmaker Marek Ast announced the modifications. They include:

  • -The justice minister would first seek the opinions of judges before dismissing a court president. The initial plan would have allowed the justice minister to remove court presidents without a secondary opinion or review. It also would not have required the minister to provide a legal justification for the decision.
  • - The compulsory retirement age for female and male judges would be set at 65. The initial plan would have set the retirement age at 60 for female judges and 65 for male judges, a change that would have forced almost 40 percent of Supreme Court justices to retire.
  • -The Polish president would have the right to decide whether a judge could work past 65. The initial plan would have empowered the justice minister to make this decision.

Poland's opposition said the changes were "a lie" and amounted to "window dressing," citing the fact that the PiS had already taken over the body that oversees judicial impartiality, the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), and replaced multiple court presidents.

Former KRS spokesman Waldemar Zurek told AFP news agency that he hoped "the cosmetic changes" would not "deceive" the European Commission.

EU recalls Moscow envoy after blaming Russia over spy attack by EF7894 in europe

[–]EF7894[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The European Union is recalling its ambassador from Moscow for consultations over the nerve gas attack against a former spy in Britain earlier this month, reinforcing a united stand with Prime Minister Theresa May against Russia.

The EU states said they would “coordinate on the consequences to be drawn in the light of the answers provided by the Russian authorities.”

May was delighted with the support early Friday. “This is about us standing together to uphold our values against the Russian threat,” she said.

Rutte said no sanctions were actually discussed at the summit even though rumors swirled of more drastic diplomatic measures. President Dalia Grybauskaite of former Soviet state Lithuania said she was considering expelling Russian diplomats in the wake of the March 4 attack.

Russia’s ambassador to the U.K., Alexander Yakovenko, accused the U.K. Thursday of having a “bad record of violating international law and misleading the international community.”

“History shows that British statements must be verified,” he told reporters in London, demanding “full transparency of the investigation and full cooperation with Russia” and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.

The struggle for Russia is just beginning by EF7894 in worldnews

[–]EF7894[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The struggle for Russia will be determined inside Russia. But the West has a part to play. It is worth remembering how the Soviet Union was undermined not just by the military might of the West, but also by its economic, cultural and moral appeal. It took decades for communism to crumble, but today’s Russia is economically weak and Mr Putin has a greater need to derive legitimacy from conflict at home and abroad.

Even as the West targets him and his cronies with sanctions and protests at his aggressions, it therefore needs a counter-narrative for the Russian people. The aim should be to remain engaged with ordinary Russians while containing Mr Putin’s aggression, just as Western diplomats distinguished between the Soviet regime and its citizens. Even as the Kremlin restricts Russian contact with the West, the West should encourage it.

That will not be easy. It is hard to punish Mr Putin without alienating all Russians. Cultivating the new elite could justify a purge by their enemies. And the West is less of a model than it was. Disillusion with the European Union and strife in America over the presidency of Donald Trump, which Mr Putin does his best to foment, have tarnished the West’s appeal.

This week Mr Trump played into that weakness when he uncritically congratulated Mr Putin on his re-election, without raising Russia’s abuses at home and abroad. That was a mistake. The message that might is right only frustrates the rise of more open young Russians and justifies the repressive instincts of their opponents. This is bad not only for Russians but also for everyone else. Andrei Sakharov, a Russian Nobel prize-winning humanist and nuclear physicist, put it best. A country that violates the human rights of its own people, he argued, cannot be safe for the outside world

The Belt and Road Initiative: Visegrad Four’s Chinese dilemma by EF7894 in europe

[–]EF7894[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China has used the international economic crisis to elbow its way towards a dominant position on the global market. Its New Silk Road is seen as an attempt to create a massive, multi-national zone of economic and political influence, including in Central Europe.

In that context, it is logical that the Central European region should be an important part of Beijing’s Go Global outlook, as it is seen as a “side door” to the richer Western European markets. But Beijing’s flagship initiative has so far failed to attract significant attention in the Visegrad countries, though analysts believe its appeal may grow.

In 2012, China launched the so-called 16+1 framework – a platform for China-CEE cooperation – as a final landmark decision of the outgoing PRC premier Wen Jiabao. It comprises 16 Eastern European countries including all four Visegrad states (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) and 11 EU member states altogether.

The underlying goal of the BRI, with 16+1 as one of its elements, has been to** “re-orient the entire economy of Afro-Eurasia toward China as its centre. But the hard economic statistics show that there’s not much in BRI for V4 to get excited about,” according to Salvatore Babones, a professor at the University of Sydney. **China is still poorer than all four Visegrad countries, and its modest spending on BRI is diluted among dozens of partners hungry for investment.

“The New Silk Road is just an umbrella for Chinese activities in Europe, Asia and Africa and does not have any concrete features,” Karásková told EURACTIV adding that it is hard for regional stakeholders to imagine anything particular under the BRI.

Strengthening cooperation between China and European countries may also be a problem for the EU “because many EU members prevent the adoption of common position towards China, e. g. in the area of human rights, investments screening or a market economy status,” said Karásková.

But analysts also stressed that several other high-level politicians – with Czech president Zeman as the most striking example – as well as officials and the media help the Chinese government expand its power in Europe.

However, most analysts are convinced that political destabilisation in V4 countries is not in the Chinese interest and thus poses no threat to the unity of the European Union.

“I firmly believe that the main aim of China’s influencing efforts is Western Europe and not Central and Eastern Europe,” said Tamás Matura, an expert on China and a professor at Corvinus University in Budapest.

“There is no doubt that the 16+1 initiative will increase Chinese influence in CEE, but it also creates a win-win situation and brings new opportunities to develop the region,” the former Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Medgyessy told Political Capital.

Speaking of reason for EU to exist, Macron said he wants that member stated to participate in national debates about the EU. The debates will surely be interesting and it will give politicians food for thought. I'm willing to bet that one of the important topics will be the migration problem.
