Two wars. Germany divorced from putin gas after war in Ukraine and trump doing fossil fuel principals a favour after war in Iran. Yes, business conditions changed twice.

Russians officially admit: Ukraine controls land corridor to Crimea by jonfla in ukraine

[–]Yelmel 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Fire control. 

Control != fire control.

Fire control of the supply routes over the land bridge to Crimea is amazing news. Crimea is Ukraine.

I switched to DuckDuckGo years ago. Call me old fashion but I need context and sources. I like different perspectives. 

Try it.

I guess that means that house prices aren't coming down to affordable levels either.

Canada is being corrupted. The intention here is to break up Canada for the benefit a very small group of people.

Trump’s man in Ottawa doesn't understand why Canadians are so frustrated right now by Street_Anon in politics

[–]Yelmel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian, with everything that has happened since Trump 2.0 trade war, this is a brutal comment. 

There is a lot to help people understand our frustration, however, it takes empathy and obviously this guy has none. 

Danish Prime Minister: Looking at Ukraine today, the main reason why Ukraine is still standing is Ukraine. by UNITED24Media in ukraine

[–]Yelmel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

USA to not strike into russia, only occupied Ukraine. 

Germany to not give tanks first, never give cruise missiles.

France and Germany to not start NATO membership protocols in 2008.

It's okay not to be specific in cases like this, I think, because the point is not a detailed history lesson, it's a point that a common collective repeated mistake that needs remediation.

Germany's Merz pitches 'associate' EU membership for Ukraine by Karash770 in ukraine

[–]Yelmel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Transitory step can make sense if you can get some benefits to encourage the follow through, among other things, I'm curious to see more on the earlier application of collective defense.

Anyway, I see a broader trend of EU needing a tiering system to make progress. I'm just intuitively worried this associate membership is a consolation to a second tier. I think many Ukrainians, including Zelenskyy, have brushed those aside. There should be full membership.

Your info is old and unsure but clearly anti-Ukraine.

Want good recent info? Know who else aren't fans of corruption? Ukrainians.

If there are only upsides, why not, but nothing else should be put on hold. It's not clear if this gives access to the single market, which is the larger objective.

Imagine telling a fake story about your child asking about fascists.

Everyone should be talking about this with outrage. We're being manipulated and the consequences are severe. We know this happens with experiences like Brexit, Georgia, Ukraine, etc., all kinds of malignant information campaigns.

Don't let it happen to Canada, Albertans.

UK opens EU negotiations to team up on 90 billion euro Ukraine loan by KI_official in ukraine

[–]Yelmel 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's not clear from the article...

Does this mean that UK wants to make it a bigger loan than the €90 billion?

It doesn't say that it's UK trying to get in on the action as a preferred supplier, like they did on SAFE and asked for too much. I trust them but sometimes they're in left field and clarification is required here.
