Yeah, you often hear stuff like “back then, we stuck together and helped each other!” Yeah because otherwise you wouldn’t have had anything. Also a lot of people were super wary of anyone else because of the StaSi and their IMs (think spies recruited from the general population, literally means unofficial employee) so the “we’re in this together” was often on a more superficial level

You know what’s also super woke? Phones that Russia can’t track. At least for migrants

No mention of bpfilter unfortunately, would have been helpful to get a rough overview

Not sure where exactly this was supposed to happen, but a country has the right to down any unauthorized aircraft in its airspace. When Turkey downed a Russian jet nothing happened because this is just how things work. A military aircraft in another country’s airspace can’t expect to not be shot. It’s rarely done but always possible.

Interesting enough, the ruble is actually quite strong, which does create problems for Russia’s exports, while they are capped on imports by the sanctions so they can’t really make use of that

They got a very nice beer brewery in return so it’s all fair

Germany did opium business with China? When?

the cost of basic necessities like housing and food are about 3x cheaper.

Depends. Newly built apartments will set you back $200k after conversion there, some years ago it could easily reach $500k.

Why would Europe negotiate with Iran? The conflict is between Iran and the US. What kind of perspective should Europe offer?

If they weren’t, the headline probably wouldn’t have used the comparative

What you’re implying makes no sense.

The ships passing are not “NATO owned”. They’re most likely not even ships owned by the armed forces of NATO countries apart from the US. And even if they were attacked, this is outside of the territory of the NATO member state, which is a condition for triggering article 5.

That swiping keyboard typo happens way more often to me than it doesn’t

I totally know how NATO works (am former soldier from a NATO country), I know Mario is a defensive treaty and even if you’re a member it doesn’t mean other member nations have to cooperate with you outside of NATO related activities. So yes no NATO members need to join, and no NATO member has to support the US (even if just by allowing to use the air space) outside of NATO missions it exercises.

If Putin knows NATO is a paper tiger, why is he complaining about countries joining it? Why does he complain about NATO member countries on Russia’s borders? Surely a paper tiger isn’t detrimental to his interests? Why did they claim Russia is fighting NATO in Ukraine?

Total disconnect from reality

He’s just preparing for an out, in a week or two he can tell on TV that Iran agreed to all demands and as such, the US gets out. Won’t work most likely, but maybe he’ll try.

That or he seriously believes this has happened because someone told him. Who knows! Or he might just contradict himself.

Debian systems have optionally collected this kind of data way before systemd existed via adduser.

As I said, he’s just flinging shit, it is dumb. But you have the same ideology on both sides, they’re very different cuts from the same cloth, so I don’t mind. There’s no real effect on common affairs, the connection between Japan declining to help and this isn’t there, no country is committing to any action in the strait.

The joke was almost more controversial than the fact that Japan who committed the possibly most heinous crimes against humanity in WWII never apologized or admitted to any wrongdoing.

yup he was flinging dumb shit but it hit the right target. Let the conservative nationalists fight each other. I can’t be outraged by this one
