World News@lemmy.world•Europeans ponying up to fund US weapons shipments to Ukraine - EuractivEnglish
5·7 months agoWell, since we were not able to get our production up sufficiently in the 3 years(or the 8 before that) we have to pay now. The question is whether our governments have a plan how to replace these shipments with our production. Even if the war in Ukraine ends it might be soon needed in Caucasus, Moldova or elsewhere.

World News@lemmy.world•Lifting Sanctions on Syria Exposes Their Cruel IntentEnglish
61·8 months agoWhat is truthdig.com? They make a major revelation out of something that is obvious to anybody who spent just 5 minutes thinking about it. Ever since the Roman panem et circenses it is known that even the most authoritarian of dictators has to maintain some level of approval by the people he rules and can’t do everything he wishes.
Hitler had his KdF and still had to scale down his eradication of “undesirables” before the start of the war, putin has been bribing russians for more than 20 years with scraps from oil money and yet he can’t use conscripts in Ukraine.
It shouldn’t be therefore surprising that economic sanctions are enacted also against the population in hope that they will undermine the support for the government in question.

World News@lemmy.world•Orbán: “Ukraine is not NATO member and I intend to keep it that way”English
14·9 months agoAustria isn’t as blatant as Hungary but their policy is also pretty russia-friendly.
And there is a reason A-H collapsed and it wasn’t just because of WW1 and Bosnian Serbs. Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Romanians or basically anybody who wasn’t German or Hungarian hated the monarchy in the end(With the possible exception of the Croats, who reached some kind of agreement with Hungarians right before the collapse).

8·9 months agoAs long as they control the government, military, police and other stuff putin and his regime are russia. If russians don’t like that they can make their own Maidan.

sve a say? Doesn’t Polish stance on Ukraine’s entry depend on the government & parliament rather than the president?

No he wasn’t. It’s just because of his pride and idiocy that he thinks he was.

I was obviously referring to the second part of your post, are you dense?
Boycott is a perfectly fine, non-violent form of protest, what’s your problem?

71·10 months agoWhether he is a legitimate military target is disputable, because the whole war russia started is illegitimate. Although granted, at least he isn’t a medic or a child.

World News@lemmy.world•Germany threatens to remove Russian ambassador in row over WWII commemorationsEnglish
1·11 months agoYour comment would be true if it wasn’t for the secret part of the protocol and the joint attack on Poland that resulted from that.
All he had to do was to not force Czechoslovakia to surrender and he didn’t need military presence in Czechoslovakia, deploying troops to France might have been enough. Czechoslovakia had mobilized 1 million man strong army, which would have been able to hold Germans for a considerable time. Not to mention he might have been able to get Poland to join.
Also I am not sure about which Churchill’s plan to protect Poland you are talking as by the time Churchill became a PM, Poland was conquered and Germany was just starting attack on France.

I am afraid such a war unfortunately can’t change Trump’s regime.
