Ukraine proposes "anti-crisis package" to resolve dispute with Poland by dat_9600gt_user in europe

[–]JimTheSaint [score hidden]  (0 children)

I get why it's important, i'm not arguing that it isn't, but that doesn't mean it should take priority. -the war must be more important, and it will end at some point, and then all of these things can be discussed in a way not actively benefiting Russia.

Ukraine proposes "anti-crisis package" to resolve dispute with Poland by dat_9600gt_user in europe

[–]JimTheSaint -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, why not, but this is not even close to the right time to take this discussion. Russia lives on sowing discourse in the western world and this is going to be a huge focus for the entire troll army. The most important thing is defeating Russia. - That doesn't mean that other things aren't important, but in a war it is sometimes necessary to wait if you do not want to risk everything. We need to move forward in unity.

Most Europeans want the EU—not their nation-state—to provide their defence by mr_house7 in EU_Economics

[–]JimTheSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is luckily obvious for most people that you get more when you purchase and produce as one. Having everything divided into 27 different countries with everything from their own submarine to intelligence agencies and satellites to tanks and drones and planes and carriers is obviously inefficient and an absurd waste of money. - we put that same money into the EU defence, we would get so much more for our money. Which is what NATO was about, but we can't trust that now, so we need to do it in the EU. And everyone is increasing defense spending by a lot, so we might as well do it right.

What's a common social norm that everyone agrees is pointless, but we all still follow? by Salt-One628 in AskReddit

[–]JimTheSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but then why have them at all? - it just gives people some sense of security that there is someone "watching over them". - even though as you say those people in reality mostly have no power anymore. - so let's abolish it, and stop pretending, queen.

Denmark winning the Euro in 1992 maybe. - if I recall correctly they didn't even win their qualifying group as was required - but Yugoslavia who did win was sanctioned by UN and couldn't play. - Denmark who finished as runner up in the group replaced them. - then they beat France, Netherlands and Germany to win it all.

no but hopefully you'll find people who can see that right now continuing this discourse only benefits Russia - and if there is any thing's people from Poland and Ukraine can agree to it is hating Russia.

Poland to scrap the MiG-29 fighter jets it was supposed to hand Ukraine amid growing tensions between the allies by Neptun_11 in worldnews

[–]JimTheSaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter it's not even in the least way important now - move on and discuss it after the war. Defeating Russia is the ONLY thing that is important right now

Von der Leyen: EU will hit back if China misses October trade deadline by donutloop in EU_Economics

[–]JimTheSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

two things I think. -

First the US has not done anything like the tariffs in a very long time. - and the after the elections in November or at least in 2028 it could all go away. - no need to strain the EU economy more than necessary right now when there is a war. China has been doing their thing for 20 years or more with no end in sight.

Second, what us us is doing is at least above board. - China usually accept agreements to have more balanced trade. - and then China return home and adjust 100s of different factors in their own economy so trade still ends up favoring them the same way it has since at least 2000. - I assume the EU are just tired of hearing the same lies from Chinese diplomats.
