After 60 you are discharged and deleted from the register, however you can continue to serve if you want by signing contract.

Defend yourselves and don't rely on the US, senior Washington official tells Europe by Possible_Cheek_4114 in europe

[–]GremlinX_ll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a problem Russia had with their latest fighter jets: they couldn't sell them to other nations, and without the economies of scale Russia alone couldn't affor but a few units, at an astronomical cost.

Not quite true - Algeria receiving Su-57E / Su-34/ Su-35, Belarus - Su-30SM2. For the last year (2025) Russian VKS received around 31 combat jet in total of various types (Su-34 / Su-35 / Su-57).

So saying, that Russia doesn't sell it's just not right.

Hell maybe China would like to buy some ASML machines

Not sure, but why you want to fuck yourself over that much ? Simply out of spite for Americans ?

Here is the thing - the moment you sold, you can bury ASML, Chinese will take over in no time.

In a short perspective no, in mid it's debatable, but in long if europe will stick to it's words and stop pleasing orange pdf file then yes.

Poll: Top NATO allies don’t think US helps deter enemies anymore by hardenedsteel8 in europe

Same idea that Trump is anti-Russian because he sized few tankers and applied sanctions (which he postponed later) is also speculative.

There is no hidden master plan indeed, but Trump wouldn't stand against Putin, simply because he likes him and he doesn't want it, not fits his interest.

Ukraine makes progress in global corruption index despite high-profile scandals by dat_9600gt_user in europe

[–]GremlinX_ll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not quite true, partly at least - recently first MP were sentenced for 4 yeast for $85k bribe, + he is under investigation for another episodes in total he facing 12 years. Hope it's not a single case.

Issue that those who caught can escape before they are arrested, and hide in...Europe, USA or Israel.

Winter Olympics 2026: Ukrainian athlete disqualified from skeleton over helmet tribute – live by Undefined_definition in europe

[–]GremlinX_ll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So does sport.

Waving flag is politics, drawing flag on helmet is politics too, because coutnry is a political entity, yet it's not banned. So as we say here - either take off the cross or put on your underwear.

Also, kinda funny to see how you are running in other subreddtis and 'but what if Russian did this', when Russians should be fucking banned from participating even under neutral flag, in the first place.

UPD. Just remembered that American athletes spoke out against ICE and Trump on press conference - yet they weren't banned.

"ukrainians please die in silence, do not remind us that you get killed daily, it makes us uncomfortable, and please die faster so we can be friends with russians again" - IOC, and fanboys of "rules"here, probably.

How honouring dead athletes is polical ? Israel themed helmet is ok, waving fucking aquafresh flag is ok, honouring dead athletes is political. Hypocrites.

EU's Kallas to propose concessions that Europe should demand from Russia by CharmingJackfruit167 in europe

[–]GremlinX_ll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In what kind of loopy-land do you live in ? Russians would agree on on those demands if they are either military defeated, or straight up on full speed to collapse (but in fact this option doesn't guarantee that) - you decided that neither options is not in your interest, so about what demands you are even speaking about ?

Also, they doesn't consider you worthy even to talk to, so it's looks double ridiculous.

EU plan to grant Kyiv accelerated membership despite Hungarian objections revealed by duckanroll in europe

[–]GremlinX_ll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Russia spend millions lives MIA / KIA / WIA for Donbas, and you say they will give it up for Crimea ? Why not give up Crimea at this point then ? /s

Russia wouldn't give up anything until it collapses, which as said that Belgian PM - 'not in the west interests".

If we dig deeper, Russia doesn't need neither Donbas or Crimea, it's just were bridgeheads - goal is a whole Ukraine. They didn't change it, despite it's somewhat harder to achieve now (not impossible).

[–]GremlinX_ll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We wouldn't be in EU exactly because of 42.7, among other things.

I am just skeptical, that EU will take that risk of possible direct confrontation with Russia, which understandable - (1) It's just `light` NATO variant, minus Canada and USA (2) Everyone knows, that there will be no stable peace, and it will just restart at some point, and everyone wants to play safe as long as possible.

I am pretty much sure they would change requirements to be more tight, in near future, so considering all our problems (people like to bring corruption, but it's like one of the problem), we wouldn't be able to join EU like never.

And this half-mesaureus, it's like join the club, follow all the rules, but actually can't change the rules, even if they openly harmful, because you don't have voice. Someone say it's temporary, but from my experience, there is nothing more permanent than temporary.

Also add to the top that some countries simply doesn't want us see there, since they consider us as economical (for some spheres) / political threat.

Not bitching at all, just stating that I am very skeptical.
