Euronews is still owned by a Portuguese fascist with ties to Orban. Their reporters have done a good job at keeping it fair, but that makes the editorial director much more dangerous for the current standards.

Yes, there’s a trolley problem and it seems pretty clear you picked the lane that ends up killing every single Palestinian.

Like they did in North Korea?

He doesn’t want Democrats grilling his candidates.

The only thing that surprises me in geopolitics right now is that Iran is not mass producing nukes yet.

He’s just asking the European right to not make excuses.

The easiest way is to co-opt NATO by ignoring and replacing the US as much as possible. Recreating all the NATO structures and deals with the UK and Canada is something that could be done in a fair weather environment, with a war on our doorstep that’s not realistic.

AfD is far behind the CDU at a national level, and if the center left vote was united they would also be comfortably behind that hypothetical coalition. The problem is that with current opinion polls the government would probably need to be an equally unstable coalition between CDU, SPD, and Greens.

I don’t know if replacing Orban with someone that supported him until early this year is going to change much. Remember that even Lukashenko successfully pretended to be an anti-corruption champion while in the opposition before making Belarus is personal fief.

People that don’t bother to vote are as bad as Trump supporters. The true foundation of every autocratic regime is not fear, it’s not their real supporters, it’s people that don’t care what happens as long as it’s not happening to them (yet).

Tell you have no idea how civil protection and emergency response works in Spain without telling me you have no idea how civil protection and emergency response works in Spain.

Emergency response is the responsibility of the autonomous communities not of the national government which only makes resources available to the regional governments. Valencians were abandoned by their own politicians.

“Czechoslovakia is not my problem” vibes. How did that end up?

So having western troops in Ukraine should also be fine if they stop at the russian border right?

When you consider the average of all the opinion polls Trump is still more likely to win Iowa though he’s hemorrhaging support there. What this means is that Harris has a real chance to win if people go out and vote.

The EU and several individual countries had offered help. Spain is basically accepting it after accessing the situation on the ground.

More like democracy good, but justice is not a popularity contest.

In a well run country that requires a supermajority of some kind of council picked by different groups like some representatives for the judges, others picked by the legislature, etc. which avoids any group having full control of the courts.

The effects of the disaster were compounded by those cars in several ways, from climate change to almost every single surface in sight being paved with a material that can’t absorb water.

I don’t know. Personally I’m a fan of Piyu style reeducation (or at least a more modern and humane version of it).
