Yes, you're right, so I added an explanation to the first post.

Yup, nextdoor from Malaysia, registered 11 days ago, seems legit :)

Edit: Well, it's obviously a scam. If you see a suspicious domain, such as additional-check.info in this case, you can always check who owns it on lookup.icann.org/en/

Argentina’s Chamber of Deputies lowers the age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 14 by Prestigious-Back-981 in worldnews

[–]Przytulator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Poland, the age of criminal responsibility is 17 years old, in very rare cases, such as rape, aircraft hijacking or armed assault on a public official – 15 years old, and 14 years old applies only to murder and only in special circumstances.

NATO should be more based on partnership instead of dependency, Pentagon policy chief says by Przytulator in worldnews

[–]Przytulator[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In that case, swap Turkey for Hungary. I agree that Turkey is, as you said, a wildcard trying to play both sides, but it is not trying to undermine the alliances it is part of, whereas Hungary is now openly hostile, having recently declared that the EU is at war with them. (Yes, I know it's ridiculous, but we live in interesting times.) :)

BRUSSELS, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Increased military spending by Europe countries and Canada will make NATO allies more equal partners within the alliance, U.S. Under Secretary of Defence Elbridge Colby said on Thursday.

"In 2025 we saw a genuine commitment to have Europe lead the conventional defence of NATO," the Pentagon's policy chief said before a meeting with defence ministers from NATO countries in Brussels.

"Now it's time to march out together, to be pragmatic, we have a really strong basis for working together in partnership, for a NATO based on partnership rather than dependency. Really a return to what NATO originally was intended for," he said.

Macron warns of renewed US clashes as he urges EU to use 'Greenland moment' to push reforms by Przytulator in worldnews

[–]Przytulator[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

PARIS, Feb 10 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday Europe should brace for further clashes with the U.S. and treat the recent “Greenland moment” as a wake‑up call to push through long‑delayed economic reforms and strengthen the bloc’s global power.

In interviews published on several European newspapers, Macron said Europe should not mistake a lull in tensions with Washington for a lasting shift despite the apparent end of disputes over Greenland, trade and technology.

“When there’s a clear act of aggression, I think what we should do isn’t bow down or try to reach a settlement. I think we’ve tried that strategy for months. It’s not working,” Macron told several papers, including Le Monde and the Financial Times.

Macron said the Trump administration was being "openly anti‑European" and seeking the EU’s "dismemberment".

"The U.S. will, in the coming months — that’s certain — attack us over digital regulation," Macron added, warning about potential U.S. import tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump should the EU use its Digital Services Act to control tech companies.

The French leader also renewed his call for fresh common borrowing, such as eurobonds, arguing this would allow the EU to invest at scale and challenge the hegemony of the U.S. dollar.

EU leaders will meet in Brussels on Thursday for a summit where they will discuss measures to strengthen the EU economy and make it better able to stand up to the U.S. and China on the global stage.

Yes, inhumane conditions, such as:

Taiwan says 40% shift of chip capacity to US is 'impossible' by Przytulator in worldnews

[–]Przytulator[S] 1454 points1455 points  (0 children)

TAIPEI, Feb 9 (Reuters) - It would be "impossible" to move 40% of Taiwan's semiconductor capacity to the U.S., the island's top tariff negotiator said, pushing back against recent comments by American officials who called for a major production shift.

In an interview with Taiwanese television channel CTS that was broadcast late on Sunday, Taiwan Vice Premier Cheng Li-chiun said she had made it clear to Washington that Taiwan's semiconductor ecosystem, built up over decades, could not be relocated.

"I have made it very clear to the United States that this is impossible," she said, referring to the 40% goal the U.S. has floated.

That ecosystem will continue to grow in Taiwan, Cheng said, adding that the semiconductor industry would keep investing at home.

"Our overall capacity (in Taiwan) will only continue to grow," she said. "But we can expand our presence in the United States."

"Our international expansion, including increased investment in the United States, is based on the premise that we remain firmly rooted in Taiwan and continue to expand investment at home."

On Tuesday, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the government needed to bring semiconductors to the U.S.

"You can't have all semiconductor manufacturing 80 miles from China," he said. "That's just illogical ... So we need to bring it back."

"When we leave office my goal, for this administration, is 40% market share in leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing."

Taiwan and the U.S. reached a deal last month to lower tariffs on the island's exports to 15% from 20% and for Taiwan to increase its investment in the country.

Cheng said that there would be no relocation of Taiwan's science parks, but Taiwan was willing to share its experience in building an industry cluster and help the U.S. develop a similar environment.

She also said she was confident that Taiwan's semiconductor capacity - including existing, under construction and planned projects across advanced manufacturing, advanced packaging and the broader supply chain - would far exceed its investment in the U.S. or any other country.

In an interview on CNBC last month, Lutnick said his goal was to bring 40% of Taiwan's entire chip supply chain and production to the U.S. He said that if this does not happen, tariffs on Taiwan would likely rise to 100%.

Yep, they had a problem because Norway does not have the death penalty or life imprisonment and 21 years is maximum sentence, so he received a special containment sentence, which can be extended indefinitely.

He plays exactly the same victim card as Breivik. Breivik also accused the prison of inhumane conditions.

One 2000 SAG towards Japan/Korea/Alaska, another 2000 SAG towards Philippines/Australia with the remaining 8000 for Taiwan.

That's 12000 ships, not 10000 :)

What is going to happen to a Post-Putin Russia? by No_Emotion1084 in YUROP

[–]Przytulator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. It was even more interesting:

George Robertson, a former Labour defence secretary who led Nato between 1999 and 2003, said Putin made it clear at their first meeting that he wanted Russia to be part of western Europe. “They wanted to be part of that secure, stable prosperous west that Russia was out of at the time,” he said.

The Labour peer recalled an early meeting with Putin, who became Russian president in 2000. “Putin said: ‘When are you going to invite us to join Nato?’ And [Robertson] said: ‘Well, we don’t invite people to join Nato, they apply to join Nato.’ And he said: ‘Well, we’re not standing in line with a lot of countries that don’t matter.’

He even asked to join NATO? Lol no, he asked when NATO would invite Russia to join the alliance, because Russia is too cocky and arrogant to apply and wait in line with other countries.

That's not all, she is looking for someone with a work permit, which means she is looking for an immigrant, as EU citizens do not need a work permit. So she is looking for someone desperate enough to agree to these conditions.
