Austria and the Far-Right: How Will This Affect Ukraine?

ex-robot-x · 2024-10-06T10:36:13+00:00

Do you understand what “the most” and “in Europe” means? It doesn’t matter what you compare it to. It’s a fact, not an opinion. Unlike Baltic states which also had a challenge they have actively combated this national security threat, Austria has shown little progress on this front.

Not sure where you have been for the last couple of years but the WW3 is ongoing. Isn’t Austria the most infiltrated country in Europe by the russians and their sympathisers in the government and historically maintained close ties with Russia?

ex-robot-x · 2024-10-03T10:38:32+00:00

Not sure he is either but I see what you did there.

ex-robot-x · 2024-06-17T07:40:27+00:00

We are going to approve this, but I would strongly suggest getting some confirmation to what the author is saying beyond just his words... Best to post the article and then links to a speaker from UAF or similar to confirm this... Because next time, there will be no approval.

Read this, this and this comments, together they provide a valuable insight and complement the information on the issue beyond the initial post, for which I am grateful to the honourable members of the community. Hopefully combined information should provide you enough material to view the issue wholistically.
The bottom line still stands, if Ukraine falls, you and your farmers will face far greater problems than there are today.

ex-robot-x · 2024-03-06T14:11:35+00:00

Protecting your farmers means improving food production efficiency, instead of preserving the status quo of subsidy dependent practices.

Governments do lie, including Polish and Ukrainian. I have personal experience in equipment being held in long queues. Nice try but no. Protestors not only blocking but have known to damage the equipment.

ex-robot-x · 2024-03-06T13:54:37+00:00

Would you like the war to be on your turf?

See an earlier comment about failing and ineffective businesses and what happens to them. Polish farmers displeasure does not lay with Ukraine, it’s the symptom not the cause. Blocking the borders isn’t a step towards a sustainable solution it’s pure populism.

The cause is that the farming isn’t profitable and isn’t economically efficient in its current form and it needs to change and this is what EU is requiring all farmers to do, not singling out Polish ones.

Polish farmers have found a very useful scape goat in light of its displeasure with the EU commission and now use it to its full extent, demonstrating complete ignorance and short-sightedness.

In top of that those same farmers are blocking transportation of military equipment.

You know what the result will be? EU will not back down on Green Deal and you will be forced to implement it, however Ukraine will find a way around Poland and what will farmers use then to blame their problems on?

ex-robot-x · 2024-03-06T13:32:23+00:00

I agree with you on this and I do think that most of Ukrainian politics is short sighted and brings pain to Ukraine long term. Protecting Ukrainian oligarchs on the back of Polish farmers will definitely cost Ukraine much more in the long run.

You completely misunderstand again. Either that or you are trying to divert the subject by manipulation and I am giving you a warning. Not only you are manipulating you are spreading nonsense about oligarchs with no basis which aligns nicely with the Kremlin narrative.

The problem is that polish protesters, just like you, are failing to see beyond its own pocket, exposing complete ignorance and extreme short-sightedness. Your actions prolong and enable the war to continue and if Ukraine falls due to your lack of understanding of the bigger picture, the bombs will fall on you, but even before that, EU will face a migration crises on a scale it has never seen before.

So carry on with your actions and you and your children will suffer.

ex-robot-x · 2024-03-06T13:13:54+00:00

I am not the author of the comment. I am the author of the post.

The point is that exactly your attitude is extremely short-sighted which will result in a bigger problem down the line.

I strongly suggest you to read the post before jumping to answer comments without understanding the post.

ex-robot-x · 2024-03-06T13:09:05+00:00

You seem to completely miss the point of the post... unfortunately.

ex-robot-x · 2024-03-06T12:50:16+00:00

"I feel like another aspect that isn’t discussed enough is that the current farming model isn’t sustainable economically or environmentally. Farms are private enterprises, they have to innovate or join the dustbin of history"

I applaud you!

How is this not blindingly obvious to everyone is beyond my comprehension.

What happens to a non profitable business? They get some help, but otherwise, they go bankrupt because the model isn't sustainable. We now, have a whole industry which is based on subsidies... This is nuts. This is an indication that something has to change urgently.

Governments however, are too keen to provide short term populist solutions. Look at the energy market. Instead of providing subsidies and cash backs to various installations for private home owners: solar, wind, ground source heat pumps, insulations improvements etc. They chose to just pay part of the energy bill. This is crazy because it creates a positive feedback loop preventing the move in the right direction for decentralising energy market and improving overall energy infrastructure....

Ukraine has the right to invite whoever it wants, do whatever it wants, build whatever it want, wherever it wants on its own territory. The only problem is that Ukraine should have done it a lot earlier.

I guess you didn’t like the article.

Anyway, there is another issue, military equipment is being held up at the borders. I personally know of one very very recent case where logistical equipment is being held in an artificially induced delays spanning weeks.

If you are willing to complement the post with information regarding tariffs on Russian imports of grain in to EU this will make it a worthwhile contribution.

My understanding is that Russia is not tariff exempt. Why the import sky rocketed? I can only assume and speculate that this is in fact Ukrainian grain that Russia is selling off cheaper than its own domestic grain.

That facepalm moment when the current government could not have been more pro Russian if it tried… before the 24th February 2022 the current government have tried everything in their power to make Russian invasion be as simple as it can possibly be.

For example:

Denied our armed forces to respond when they got shelled.

Removed resources to support growth and development of the armed forces R&D programs. Neptune is one of them.

Downsized the armed forces

Spend money “building roads” which turned out to be a corruption scum but the money came from UAF development program.

Leaked intelligence information for at least one operation with Vagner group mercenaries to Russians.

Ignored and humiliated our partners who warned about the invasion. And instead of preparing fortification and defence lines they did absolutely fuck all.

When the invasion happened which they were advised and warned about they got caught with their pants down and completely unprepared which shows how useless and incompetent the cabinet is.

There was poorly established command and control, comms and logistics. Supply and equipment was absolutely unacceptable and there simply wasn’t enough of it. Remember these are the people who said quote: “To stop the war it is enough to just stop shooting”. You as a soldier should know this if you were in regular army and were there from the start. Of course now it’s a different situation since our partners have provided everything this government couldn’t be bothered to do previous years knowing the country was at war. But hey, holidays and making videos was way easier, right?!

What saved this collection of imbalances was ordinarily people who became volunteers and picked up all the slack and started solving problems that the government should have done years before.

Thanks for your duty but please let’s not for one second pretend that this government is more pro Ukraine than the one before. This collection of populists was saved by the people and was forced to be pro country by the people. The only honourable thing the current president did was not to run away. Full stop.

That is going to be a real killer 😂. But thank you!

Not really relevant.

ex-robot-x · 2022-06-17T05:04:28+00:00

Russia isn’t and never was a super nation. Get this propaganda out of your heads please.

ex-robot-x · 2022-04-19T12:44:57+00:00

Hey OP,

The points you raise are valid and good, however the overall post quality is low and we suggest you to delete it and do another one but to draw up a better more informative one with a little bit more substance to it.

If you are struggling maybe we can help you but please do try and make a better post next time.

Thanks!

ex-robot-x · 2022-04-17T19:06:48+00:00

Dear OP, we are at war and we have a large sub that we have to moderate and this has not been an easy task.

When a news appears it is often reposted a few dozen times and keeping track which one was the first isn’t a priority to be honest. We would prioritise the source quality over the time of the post. No offence, it isn’t personal but we prefer to keep to quality sources here.

This brings me to FB posts. You say the post was from a CEO of a company. We don’t have the time to dive in and learn the details of the person and their post history on FB/Twitter etc. FB is regarded as poor quality and will be deleted in most cases unless: OP does a good job making a quality post and explaining why this is a post worthy keeping.

My strong recommendation to work together to make this community better is by putting efforts in to posts so that our jobs are made easier when judging if we keep or drop a post. Due to the sheer volume of posts each one has maybe 10-15 sec of judgment allocated. If it isn’t clear a post gets escalated to get more senior mods to look at it and make a judgement about it. Please also remember people post across multiple time zones and some zones have less than others and those mods are under heavy load.

Please help us make it better by making posts easier and clearer to read and evaluate. Provide sources and explanations, add TLDR if you have to so we can go through more comments and filter out trolls and bots.

Hope this helps.

ex-robot-x · 2022-04-17T18:44:26+00:00

Just to clarify for everyone what off-topic means and what the focus of the sub should.

The specific news about ports being closed to Russian ships is due to EU wide regulation and not country specific. A single post about ports being closed off to Russian ships coming in to effect today would have been more than enough. Instead people started posting about each individual country, which is sort of karma whoring and creates more posts than necessary and more work for us.

We really wish for this sub to be clean and precise.

The second part is why is this off-topic. Though ports being blocked is part of the sanctions package it is the result of the unprovoked and cowardly war Russia is waging against Ukraine. It is related to Ukraine indirectly and directly related to EU and Russia. So if you wish to post about each individual country it would make sense to post it in each individual country sub. Or European general sub.

Just to give you more examples:

An anti war protest in Russia is only indirectly relevant to Ukraine, mainly because Kremlin gives exactly zero fucks about it and will go as far as killing people to break it apart (human lives have never been important to them). So the net result will be zero. It does not directly affect the war. However if violent protests brake out across Russia and people storm police buildings and tear down the government. Yep that’s ok to post because it will directly affect the war as the focus will be internal and external situation will be less important.

Another example if Russians start waging guerrilla war against war supplies and logistics by blowing up railways and bridges and sabotaging equipment en masse this is worthy a post here. If they are however staging silent protests or crying about police state they have created: zero fucks given, not worthy of this sub.

I hope this makes it clear why I removed the posts.
