A lot of the money can and should be spent on dual-use stuff.

For example, the biggest hurdle that prevents the deployment of the armies of Europe to the Eastern flank is the state of the railway network.

On the one hand, I don’t see the point of raising the defence budget just to hand all that money we are actually taking out as loans over to the US. A major point of the whole shebang should be to drive EU-domestic investment and jobs.

On the other hand, WTF Denmark? Anyone Danish here can explain Danish politics and how this guy is not secretly getting off on being cucked by Trump?

It has been tried many times in history since the first tanks. I wonder if modern battery tech makes it more feasible than it was 100 years ago.

There are hybrids, even in WWI there were French tanks with hybrid drivetrains, then WWII Germans also had super-heavy stuff with hybrid engines, and the AbramsX is supposed to also be like that.

The tools that would kill enough humans to matter would hurt the biosphere much worse than it hurts humans. Otters and bees don’t have gas masks and nuclear shelters.

No, because after the war we’ll need to start rebuilding stuff we just destroyed, so the people remaining will increase their emissions many times. Also, hypernormalisation after a war might just render public opinion towards climate change indifferent.

So imagine if the problem was deforestation and people heating with chopped wood. War means that we’ll burn all their wooden houses down, and then see them cut down even more trees to rebuild them.

Also, large wars cause baby booms.

Fuck yeah, let’s go! I was sad that it looked like it would die.

Every penis is detachable, the reattachment is what tends to be harder

This completely depends on the organisation of society and has nothing to do with genetics. I don’t even know what you are going on about.

BTW Germans were also invaded by Asian people multiple times. In fact, the most brutal genocide in history scaled to population size was committed by an Asian dude against mostly Europeans. It’s not like some nations were better with this than others. Middle-Eastern people did it just the same as Latins as well as Vikings and North, West and East Asians.

I mean now everyone knows that you have both a Glock and a cock to be stolen

Executives from Miteni and both parent organisations were among those convicted and sentenced to prison terms between two years, eight months and 17 years, six months. The court ordered Mitsubishi, ICIG and the convicted defendants to pay a total of around €57 million (£49 million) in damages, according to media reports.

The fines are a joke as usual, but the prison sentences are reasonable. Good news!

I guess the point would be for everyone involved to say “never again” and if someone quotes Hitler they should not win elections.

My dude, pretty much all countries have been founded by genocidal settlers.

Problem is that some of them can’t get past it and keep being genocidal settlers.

What is your source for that?

I mean, depends on where you live, they seem to own a few governments

Ten years and counting here, fuck if anyone knows at this point. My personal (maybe a bit cynical) take is that it really doesn’t matter as the amount of coding skill you use maxes out in the first few years of your career (for 90% of us anyhow), after that cat herding skills and pragmatic system architecture is what’s important. It becomes more important to know what not to do rather than the opposite.

So it doesn’t really matter how fast you are at leetcode if you can navigate the particular brand of spaghetti your workplace is cooking, plus points if you are able and willing to grok new kinds so you can hop jobs because raises are so last century.

Yeah, unlike an outsourcing outfit an AI company won’t take the fall when given shit requirement and shit pay they deliver shit work.

When you have someone blow the double of the whole healthcare budget on Ukraine fearmongering, who has been supported by a practically unlimited EU budget, it becomes hard to campaign on Ukraine.

Magyar pledged to have a referendum on Ukraine joining, when the question actually comes up. I don’t know what else he can do right now, considering the situation.

Most Hungarians support the unconditional early joining of Ukraine BTW, and a lot more support it if conditions are kept.

Now, do you have any sources of rape statistics by Nazis in Belarus, or by Americans in west-germany?

I guess the Belarusians do. About the Americans, I (and to be honest the whole country of Hungary) has no love lost for them either. Our family lost relatives in American bombings. One could say our country deserved it for going to war, but Hungary wasn’t really a free democratic country back then, it was at best a military dictatorship. You could also say Hungary is exploited by corporations today and has a bad case of neoliberalism, but that’s coming more from the Germans than the US. Fuck Merkel BTW.

My focus is on Russians because the troops raping and robbing throughout the land were ordered and supervised by Moscow. There is literally no difference between a Russian, an Ukrainian a Hungarian or an American with regards to whether they would rape people or rob people. Those people were also kids taken from home and sent against German machineguns to die. Btw I also don’t subscribe to the “human wave” BS if you want to know. The difference on whether an army will rape everything in sight or if they act as a “decent” occupying force is decided when an officer rapes someone, will it get overlooked, or will that person end up being shot. In the Red Army, it was mixed, and depended on their superior. Plenty of Red Army soldiers got executed summarily by their superiors for rape and murder, but the Red Army in general did not care.

The result is a deeply sick society in these “liberated” countries that you can see in Hungary and Poland where people are overcompensating in politics, and we get idiots like Orbán elected. There is a measurable regression in women’s rights as well in Hungary compared to the neighbours, which started when people coped by treating rape as “not a big deal” in the 40s, since the alternative would have been that they have been powerless to protect their loved ones from the unspeakable. Many people committed suicide as I’ve mentioned. And now we have the only EU country that is not a signatory to the Istambul agreement. This has been extensively studied as well, by communists as well.

I’m not even anti-communist BTW. I just think that condoning rape and murder, a cult of personality and a lot of what was coming from Moscow was not good for communism as a whole either. The stupid thing was that communism was actually popular in Hungary after WWII after people witnessed the horrors of fascism first-hand. But that turned sour when the Soviets tried forcing an idiotic economic plan (heavy industry on a country that is basically one big grainfield with no minerals), and when the resulting economic hardships and friction resulted in a local communist-led revolt against the Soviet occupiers, which the Soviets brutally crushed, leading to brutal repression and a perpetual occupation.

How many wars can we as people start this year?
