Pieter Vatadem, and he’s actually a comedian

The headline already says “which trump-supporting states”, not “which states”

Just check their posts on phoronix

GPG is just a mess overall, only place I think it makes sense are DNMs

Rogue, rouge is French for red and usually refers to makeup

I don’t like companies framing non-physical as “digital”. It implies physical is somehow not digital. All optical discs that matter nowadays however are. The only non-digital (or analog) optical medium I know of was laserdisc

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
