Neither is Australia.

The Eurovision is not called that because only European countries can compete, but because it was created by the European Broadcasting Agency to showcase their new network standards that let you broadcast across Europe way back when.

That said, Israel should be excluded if for the genocide, for last year’s harassment of other competitors.

Why?

Standard Newsweek bullshit, Ukrainian military victories are always just justifications for some unspecified “escalation” by Russia.

At least it is in all other Russian propaganda.

And what do you pay that military with? Most of that expenditure is wages.

Having a huge and advanced military and getting your economy off a cliff can go one of two ways. Either Germany 1939 or Russia 1991.

You’re either on the side of freedom or democracy or you’re not. That simple.

The problem is that the EU does this submissive bit because we also support the petrodollar. You’re buying the EU economy and markets with those weapons.

Imagine if we gave all of that back and aligned with China instead. It would instantly reduce the US to a regional power - fighting with runaway inflation - economically speaking. Not that I think that would be good for the EU either.

The status of the US as a superpower is founded on its alliances.

It is, but not this big yet.

This is bigger than Gaza, not like the IDF is not trying to catch up.

At least we pretend to in the EU, and build renewables.

New wind turbines are going up literally every day in some areas, and the worst offenders are actually member states politically aligned with Russia.

If megacorps have their way, you won’t be able to use banking, government, social media, etc. if you aren’t running their proprietary slop.

See Google’s Attestation API attempt. Computers can become like smsrtphones are right now.

Or more likely, desktop OSes will be locked down and will simply not be able to use it, while bank websites and other stuff will only work with locked down OSes.

For your security of course.

They did an oopsie in the 40s and it’s inertia from there.

That said, IIRC there is a German base in the US too.

Her head looks more round and less angled.

She just looks different. It’s a bit of an uncanny valley for me, but I’ll get used to it.

Wikipedia claimed the 29s from sources that are years old. IDK though, not like it really matters, NK is basically a Chinese buffer state, any war one is involved in brings the other in.

Those old MiG-21 derivatives will make for nice NCD memes though.

You can’t get a lock on an American jet because of their stealth features.

I can’t because I don’t even have a look-down/shoot-down radar.

We are not the same.

Nah, they were top of the line fighters in like 1970. They are supersonic and everything. The problem is just that, for example, a lot of their fighters have radars that can’t really see aircraft that are below them with the ground as backdrop.

They apparently have some MiG-29s, which is basically the tech level that is flying around in Ukraine on both sides, except the stuff that is in Ukraine has been modernized like 4 times since the type first flew in 1983, I doubt the NK fighters were.

uniting a fractured parliament to pass an unpopular 2025 cost-cutting budget

And this is why the fascists win.

I was not commenting on her attractiveness, just that the defining character features seem to be different. She doesn’t look “older” or less attractive to me from Wild Hunt, just a different person.

It’s not as bad as when they dropped the voice actor for Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell though.

NK fighters are just super, super old Russian jets tho.

Anyway, at this rate they will be flying biplanes by the next decade.

Italy and Germany, which have previously abstained from similar votes, voted for a ceasefire for the first time

And that’s why the ICC warrants were important. Every bit of pressure helps until it tips over.

Is it just me or is her face a bit weird? Like too much jaw?

I’d love to play the game as Ciri though, hope they make up a good story, it felt the Wild Hunt was her story, IDK what can top that.
