Skulle er nok nøgleordet i den sætning.
Begge partier virker næsten komisk traditionelle.

The major problem is, that they invested so much in this that they can't back down.
We are seeing the sunk cost fallacy come true at a scale never seen before.
I have a colleague that upon any critique of Trump - even the slightest calls put TDS.

Honestly it is cringe and sad at the same time.

Australia has zero excuse for this behaviour as shipping from Russia is even more difficult than shipping from other oil producers.
What a shameful discovery for them - hope they get it corrected fast.

The last sentence highlights a severe problem.
Would USA risk WWIII for any NATO country then ?

Russias borders are all smaller countries. Would USAs reaction be any different for them ?

If every one of the 152.000 provides 1000€ during their visit (a high number), it is only a €152 million Euro turn over.
The profit is likely under 10% - so less than €15 million.
This is not big business.

Det stiver vel moralen af på Told og Skat.

Appeasement wont work with Russia.... Despite handing off Hungary to Russia is tempting.
But cutting Hungary out of EU and NATO would be the correct next step.
Why are they even part of both ? they share no common value with either NATO nor EU.

The reality is, there is no future for countries like Hungary, Slovakia and Czechia.
Especially the populations in Slovakia and Czechia knew well what voting for an Orban Putinist would cause if destruction or relation to EU - we will demand they pay the price for their betrayal.

Yep - thats what I have said for almost 2 weeks now.
And believe me, this narrative is highly convey-able to Trump and Witkoff.
It doesn't matter that it would only be an isolated tactical victory for Russia...this has nothing to do with military reality but with political reality.

All set up for blind dates in Russia when methanol spiking becomes good business again.

3/ The 🇩🇪 gas infatuation better stop.
The NordStream is dead and will never revive.
The amount of 🇪🇺 that would be against it therefore a fraction willing to destroy it makes it a high risk investment that would not be founded in economics but ideology only.
🇩🇪 Should stop its aggression against 🇪🇺.

2/ Either these individuals can sell their extremely unique expertise to any navy or deep sea company in the world or this is a fabrication by FSB willingly colported by 🇩🇪 gas lobbyist and their press hang around.

1/ This is a made case by 🇩🇪 wanting their gas back.
A decade ago the Danish Navy vessels couldn't support such deep dives.
A sail yacht like Andromeda cannot support the equipment needed for such deep dives let alone keep position while hoisting down heavy explosives with a hoist that didn't exist.

You do know that the 'deal' forced upon Novo (Novo's CEO bending over to help) will transfer money from 🇩🇰 to 🇺🇲 and thereby reduce the aid to 🇺🇦.
It simply reduces the tax paid by Novo due to significantly reduced profit on Wegovy/Ozempic in 🇺🇲.
Yes fat 🇺🇲 going slim helped fund 🇺🇦 weapons.

I guess Budanov in person and GUR rarely go to the front to support a mere tactical position.

Could well be considerations beyond the tactical are at stake here.

And I agree.
Withdrawing from Pokrovsk could in principle lose Donbass.

Do you think Budanov and GUR is in Pokrovsk just to support a tactical position ?

You have zero basis for your claim of a pyrrhic victory.
In fact all previous major victories have created severe political leverage for 🇷🇺 causing deep doubts in the west.
This time Putin has set it up even harder.
This will go directly to Trump and Donbass could be lost

Don't be naive.

You could not be more wrong.

Withdrawal from Pokrovsk now could well equal losing entire Donbas as a political result.

The chances are above 50%.

Losing Donbas equals huge European war later.

You suggestion is very ill advise.

We don't want a single cent to go from EU to Slovakia.

Russian puppet states should be expelled from EU.

Goodbye to Hungary, Slovakia and Czechia..... enjoy your russkiy mir.

This will basically hit everything around what they are aiming at......

Why should my tax-euro be used on these 3 morally deprived countries ?
If I was a citizen in any of these 3 countries I would seriously ask myself why the northern European countries would help them in an shape or form when they are standing us in the back.

Makes a lot of sense for the North Atlantic.

Bad choice politically - can have very severe effects.
I would advice strongly against it.

200 is a light infantry front - not infiltration.....

I am sorry to say if the number is 200 - it is not infiltrating.

But hopefully you can push this light front back again.

It can be read in a couple of ways.
But most likely Trump seems to understand that Putin has made a fool out of him.
Coupled with sanctions response to the Russian claim it wouldn't have effect, Trump answered lets see in 6 months, it indicates Trump wants to distance himself.

Leaving out the prospects of the US makes the message more sharp.
I am not the only one seeing our European leaders reading every little 'sign' into an excuse to wait and hope things return to status quo.
This non leadership will lose their democracies from within.
A crash in super slowmotion.

Agree - the more they postpone taking responsibility the closer they are to handing their own democracies over to Putin mentality - even without a fight.
It is like watching a car crash in super slowmotion.

Der står militær-faglig så mange gange at man tænker der nok stikker noget under.
Og så er det i øvrigt første gang et udbud ender ud i at man drypvis udmelder hvem der ikke får ordren.

What news worth does this interview serve ?
Did he expect Russia to admit their crimes ?
Should we also interview Hitlers spokes persons.....
I simply don't get it.
There is nothing to 'talk' with Russia about - talking with Russia is a fools erran and only serves Russian interest.
