We all acknowledge that our free speech and open societies are great democratic achievements.

We should be more aware they make us vulnerable too. Hostile state actors takes the time and invest big money in dividing us.

We are starting to fight back in EU - but “fact checking” wont be enough.

Thanks for clarifying👍

There are fools and then there is Trump.

US Senator Mitch McConnell:

"Putin has spent the entire year trying to play President Trump for a fool. If Administration officials are more concerned with appeasing Putin than securing real peace, then the President ought to find new advisors. ...

I do not hope so. But what matters more is that European leaders now support Ukraine in their NO to this absurd plan, which has nothing to do with a peace plan.

Which effect does this have on the statement?

The below considerations should make any European think about the future that awaits.

There can only be one conclusion. Europe needs to support Ukraine in their NO to Trumps absurd peace plan. Russia has to get the fuck out of Ukraine and Ukraines sovereignty needs to be safeguarded.

1\ Why are the Republicans and Russia trying to force Ukraine to surrender now?

There's a chance it's because Russia knows it cannot finance the war much longer.

The Republicans & Russians could be pushing hard to lock in odds of Ukraine's future extermination before Russia's failure is obvious.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

Stupid is what stupid does…

We are not there yet and it will take a while. We don’t know how world looks like by then. Maybe China will push the US and Europe together by then.

We are in NATO and should stay there, while we expand our military capabilities. Ukraine should be part of any alliance that European countries are part of. We will benefit from their military capacities, especially when we are concerned about whether we can rely on the US.

EU was amongst other created to stop wars btw. member states. Russia is not a member state, but a deadly threat to EU member states. See the December Ultimatum from 2021. This threat means we need to take advantage of any organization for as long as possible to counter this threat.

Why would you do that? Europe should continue to be part of NATO while continuing to grow its military capabilities.

Putin has no plan for winning in Ukraine.

His losses are catastrophic – 984k-1.44m casualties, up to 480k dead and all he has achieved is expanding NATO and wiping out a generation of young Russian men, writes The Economist. 1/

The Socialdemokraters grew in Århus, kept more or less the support from the voters in Ålborg and Odense. A contributing factor to this is the firm policy on migration that the Socialdemokraters have had for many years. The loss of Copenhagen is a result of a demographic change in Copenhagen.

Hauptsache es brennt 🔥

1956….and this guy wants Russian oil…the world is a strange place.

Wonder if Ukraine will effectuate the US sanctions on Lukoil to ensure they also encompass Hungary.

With some help!

The articles does numerous times talk about Russians. I do not see any clear distinction between Russians living abroad and Russians living in Russia. The articles even mentions a scheme for Russians living in Russia.

The problem will be solved, once there is peace between Ukraine and Russia.
Zhanna should lobby for peace in Kremlin, if she is so concerned about here and others savings. She is a voter in Russia and they have allegedly free and fair elections, so they can raise their voice in Russia.

As Russian gas shortages get worse, refineries will start mixing alcohol into gasoline.

Expect more car breakdowns, because alcohol corrodes engines, clogs filters, and causes part deterioration.

Medvedev will be even angrier 🤬 when the alcohol prices spike because of this.

I guess this guy isn’t burdened by memory. Invasion of Czechoslovakia by USSR in 1968.

This day is just getting better and better.
