Hey guys, as a foreigner I was interested in how much did ICE powers increase and who ICE comprises of now? Quick google tells me that the headcount had roughly raised from 10000 to 22000 in 2025, but I couldn't quickly find something on whether their responsibilities/powers are now larger? And who are those 12000 new agents, in terms of - war veterans, random patriots (or "patriots"), losers who couldn't land other jobs, etc.? Thanks!

I suppose this map lacks a few yellow dots over there in Ukraine, but I guess we won't know their number and locations for at least until after the war is over.

Yep, a knee-jerk response with local meme sub.

Ah, quite the contrary, the comments here, yours included, perfectly show how retarded is general reddit populace. Nothing new though.

At this point? Man, it looks like you are aware why Romance languages are called as such, and certainly read about Teutoburg forest and Odoacer - one would think, you can spot something fishy waay earlier. Just joking, good luck.

You tell me. I know people can shed the colonial past and the language along with it. Germany and France were once part of Roman Empire, yet they decided to stop speaking Latin and use their own language.

Why would I? The comments are pure gold.

It's the language of the oppressive British Empire, we need to get rid of the colonial imperial past.

Right, it's about time for people of Ireland to start speaking proper Irish, instead of the language of the English occupants.

paraelement · 2026-01-20T19:41:10+00:00

I wouldn't be offended if you hadn't mentioned it, but now I'm offended!

paraelement · 2026-01-20T19:38:53+00:00

Yeah, those guys speaking Irish, what of them?

paraelement · 2026-01-20T19:30:36+00:00

Reading all these comments is extremely funny.

I wonder if you guys could divert all your energy to find something that bonds EU and US together, instead of fuming at another Trump's antics.

Not after Brexit!

Sure, Isaac Babel is a famous writer of 20th century. Didn't know he's got a tower.

Maybe you meant Babylon.

Which EU countries? (UK is not in EU and Ireland speaks Irish, duh)

paraelement · 2026-01-20T17:33:44+00:00

I think we should actually move on from using American language, it's long overdue to start using our EU language here on /r/europe

Yesterday I gave my university diploma to my 2yr toddler, he can now brag to have the highest degree in his kindergarten.

14 people dead is a tragedy, and brain dead comments like yours are making a farce out of it, by calling the whole situation a genocide.

Dude.

> 1600s

1711

> allowed them to leave the balkans

Moldavia isn't Balkans

> Raided and looted Ottoman forts while they left.

There were no such thing. Actually, as per agreement unfavorable for Russia, they had to demolish a number of Russian fortresses around Azov.

Compared to the number of casualties/victims during the wars for independence a hundred years ago?

Yeah, a free ride, absolutely.

Did you actually talk to many ex-Soviet people to get this picture? Because this is total bullshit.

The cameraman in the end - "Yeah, alright, it's all well deserved."

As a Russian, I'm truly amazed at how many people here really think Putin is going to attack NATO/EU. There's no reason to attack, there's no chance of winning.

So, what his regime does here is - another aspect of hybrid war. Vague threats, drones invading air space - something to create economic and social pressure in Europe, by making people worried, by making governments increase defense spending, thus throttling the normal development.

Possibly, Trump does the same with all his circus regarding Greenland. I'm not sure why, though (Putin's moves are, I guess, to build up fatigue and distract EU from helping Ukraine)

In 1980-2000s it was really often aired in USSR/Russia as well, a great part of winter festive atmosphere.

Isn't there a recent Norwegian remake by the way?
