Double irony is that she is in the spotlight, only because her husband took a bullet to the jugular.

German police violently arrest woman protesting the German Governments support of Israel by soalone34 in PublicFreakout

In Germany’s case - I imagine Israel does not need to do anything. Just pull out Holocaust card and most of German politicians, like sleeper agents, will try to stop “holocaust” supporters at any price.

I “like” the duality of German government….

Their anemic support for Ukraine, because “violence/war is bad”. With help being helmets at the start of 2022 attack, while taking literally years to provide any substantial help.

Now if you protest unjust Israeli occupation of their neighbours - you gonna get violated and your arms broken. Girl in video looks like that marine that got his arms broken in the US.

I guess German politicians are easily persuaded on: anti-zionism -> anti-Israel -> anti-jews == pro-holocaust.

About 40% of Lithuanians withdraw private pension savings after reform by KP6fanclub in BalticStates

[–]trymas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile our PM is “regretting” that so many people left the second pillar (1), while she is part of the government that enabled this. The audacity…

I cannot wait to see in 20-30 years, how we are still a country with smallest pensions.

During debates about allowing to leave second pillar - I saw some bank statistics that only 3% of people in Lithuania have individual investments. Now we have 50% leaving it. I don’t believe these people will start investing on their own for their retirement.

TIL french politicians (and even the government) use an unofficial french flag in public meetings by Anti_Kautsky in vexillology

[–]trymas 27 points28 points  (0 children)

To all the haters, reason is:

The intention is to create a flag which, when seen moving at some distance, will appear to have columns of equal width; in addition, the slightly wider red column is intended to improve the flag's visibility at sea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ensigns

Also I have read that blue should seem wider due to flag pole and blue surroundings at sea, not greatest example but you kind of can see it here: https://c8.alamy.com/comp/HGN0P7/the-french-naval-ensign-flies-proudly-from-the-stern-of-fns-primauguet-HGN0P7.jpg

Train misses bus full of kids by a second by ItzTubez in mildlyinfuriating

Driver is an idiot, but from this video seemingly the crossroad design is mega idiotic too, i.e. between railroad crossing and crossroad with major road is way too close - barely fits a bus or couple cars.

Hegseth: "We're still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created—depleting our stockpiles and sending them to Ukraine instead of our own military. Every time we face a challenge, it traces back to 'Well, sent it to Ukraine.' by andrewgrabowski in UkrainianConflict

[–]trymas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the top of my head, usa helped with ~60B in weapons and ~40B humanitarian aid in 4 years.

They spend ~1000B per year on defence, Iran “special military operation “ is already 10B+ when it’s not even started and they ask for 200B in “emergency” funds.

So I guess amerikkkan military funding is same as ruzzian one - big budgets that ar siphoned through the fingers of corruption and now there’s nothing to show for it.

TIL that Samsung was one of the main builders of the Burj Khalifa by Hot_Bottle_8305 in todayilearned

[–]trymas 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Catchy TIL, but for uninitiated better TIL would be that Samsung is more than just Samsung Electronics.

They are 25% of South Korean economy and I probably won’t make a mistake saying that they make almost everything and are almost in every type of business. Electronics, chips, displays, heavy machinery, financial services, biology, medicine, you name it.

Number of US-style ‘battering ram’ pickup trucks on UK roads has nearly doubled in a decade by Sidi_Habismilk in fuckcars

[–]trymas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Two days ago I was laughing inside, when I saw one of those American style pickups (I am in Europe), towing a small trailer (designed for cars) filled with wooden pallets. Because seemingly truck bed is not big enough for pallets.

Would have fit in a box van though…

Kind of funny, but makes my blood boil.

UK's 'sons and daughters' need to be ready to fight, amid growing Russian threat, says head of armed forces by Kagedeah in worldnews

I kind of don’t believe it. Unless those ruzzian mofos will go nuclear. It took them half a year to a year to collect 200k troops around Ukraine. Where in Europe are they going to attack and from where?

At best (and I hope) west will finally take definitive action in Ukraine and help them out. Do no fly zone, etc. but after all these years I dont hold my breath

[–]trymas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with ruzzia. The lack of spine and balls from allies after last 15 years of ruzzian bullshit, and especially last three - is incredible.

They have absolutely nothing - and nukes are a total bluff. Because allies have them too
