Good, hope he lives up to this.

Oh sorry.

Disdain for Russia and maligning their influence is completely reasonable in these circumstances.

Oh is Hungary leaving Europe? That’d be pretty great.

Do they have a backup river? Or can they just go up stream past where the poo is discharged?

phdepressed ,

They don't have a backup.

Europe should muster whatever strength she has to wage an earnest hybrid war against russia.

VelvetStorm ,

Just start the war in the springtime.

federalreverse Mod ,

As I understand the two of you: "hybrid" has a "conventional " component, and "springtime" supposedly refers to the fact that seizing Russia in winter is hard.

If my reading of this is correct, please stop your trains of thought. You guys sound way too trigger-happy. It helps absolutely no one to turn the Russia-Ukraine war into an EU-Russia war. War just kills a ton of people, and for what, in that case?

Sensibly enough, everyone in the EU is trying to avoid getting involved in the "conventional warfare" bit and containing things to Ukraine. I am also fairly sure that right now, nobody whosoever is dumb enough to try to seize Russia.

VelvetStorm ,

Didn't think I needed to add an /s to comments like this, but I guess I will just start doing that from now on.

federalreverse Mod ,

Sorry for misinterpreting you. But then, you responded to a comment that was apparently serious. ¯\(ツ)

VelvetStorm ,
  1. Sorry for the snippy response. I have a lot going on right now, and I attributed malice where there was none.

  2. I didn't think that other guy was serious 🤦‍♂️

zloubida , in Far-right National Rally strengthening in final polls ahead of vote
@zloubida@lemmy.world avatar

Analysts say the far-right party has benefited from public anger at Macron, whose pro-business reforms have spurred the economy but…

French growth was only 0.9% in 2023, inflation is finally starting to slow down but was violent until recently and therefore purchasing power has collapsed, and unemployment has fallen mainly thanks to write-offs.

What a “spurred” economy!

Hugh_Jeggs , in EU holds its breath as Hungary’s Orban vows to ‘Make Europe Great Again’

Eh, Vik? Europe is already great. It's your shitehole that isn't ya fuckin knobend

Jumi ,

He can't see further than the board in front of his head.

(There's a German saying which translates to having a board in front of their head that and means that someone's slow on the uptake)

federalreverse Mod ,

Could you cut pleasantries like "shitehole"/"knobend"/... on this community, please? I know Orban is not the most likable person, but there is no point in random incivility — it only kills the mood here.

(I respond to you but I mean the 4? other people doing the same in this thread as well.)

Hugh_Jeggs ,

No.

Let's have a contaminated river for years and just clean it for the event. What could wo grong? /s

The enemies of Europe do not like the new leaders of Europe, I suppose we have not chosen so badly in the elections the other day

DarkThoughts ,

She seemed to be a pretty reasonable politician to me. I think she'll do fine.
If Russia wants to improve their relations with the EU, then they might want to stop acting like an adversary.

Well, I don't have exactly the same opinion, another day we can discuss things like Pfizergate or why a Ukrainian is worth more to this commission than a Palestinian. But it is clear that it is much better that whatever the Kremlin considers acceptable, there is no debate on that

DarkThoughts ,

No idea what Kaja Kallas has to do with Pfizergate to be completely honest...

And Palestine & Israel are outside of Europe and both sides are a fucking mess that no one wants to deal with. I also find this whole Palestine argument idiotic and hypocritical when there's been war in the middle East for decades but suddenly everyone claims to care, now that Israel is involved.

Foni ,
@Foni@lemm.ee avatar

I am not worried about the war in the Middle East, I am worried about the genocide in the Middle East, and I have been for decades, but if ethnic cleansing accelerates and yet my rulers applaud the genocidaires, they increase my protests, call me a hypocrite if you want, but it seems logical to me, if not it seems like a silly argument, a bit Nazi to me. Killing children indiscriminately has those things

DarkThoughts ,

Yeah, no. Calling me Nazi was the last straw, especially since you people are the ones who are teaming up with them, along with all the other hamas apologists. Have a good one.

Foni ,
@Foni@lemm.ee avatar

Or yes, of course, my argument is stupid but saying that yours is a Nazi is the limit, that is, being against the mass murder of children is being an apolygist for Hamas. You seem eager to use logic.

Have a good day and don't be too Nazi

DarkThoughts ,

Sorry I don't talk to Nazi trolls.

@Badeendje@lemmy.world avatar

Do you truly not see a difference between people arguing on the internet and an ideology that led to the wholesale slaughter of over 6 million civilians in extermination camps and another 9 to 14 million in Europe?

Calling someone a Nazi like that just dilutes the meaning of the term and shows how little you actually understand of the world.

Foni ,
@Foni@lemm.ee avatar

He is telling me that being against the extermination of a people completely is being in favor of a terrorist group. If you think that does not fall within what it means to be a Nazi, you should review your history books

It sounds interesting but unfortunately I can't read it because of the paywall.

No paywall for me. If there's an authwall, you can pass that by entering an invalid email address, like no@thankyou.com.

Isn't Vienna a spy hub since '45?

ramble81 , in EU sees rise in deportation rates for non-EU migrants

Curious how much of this is expats from the UK not realizing they can’t live in the EU anymore.

RichieRich , in Kremlin labels new EU chief diplomat “rabidly Russophobic” and expects nothing good from new EU leadership
@RichieRich@lemmy.world avatar

What do they expect? There is no trust in Russian politics anymore. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Etterra ,

I'm irritated that there was ever any trust in Russian politics. You are way too optimistic after the USSR ended.

@Badeendje@lemmy.world avatar

If anything everyone is now undeniably aware that any agreement with Russia is not even worth the paper it is written on.

Ankkuli , in Withholding Apple Intelligence from EU a 'stunning declaration'
@Ankkuli@lemdro.id avatar

anticompetitive behavior

How? They are making their own products worse by not including all the features they could. It’s a self-inflicted handicap which makes competing products, those that are willing to include AI powered features in the EU, just this much more appealing.

Up to this point EU has been on a mission to force Apple in a weakened position compared to the rest of the market. Now the added competition is a problem for EU?

LwL ,

If I'm interpreting the quote correctly, it's because if they have to exclude the EU because of competition laws, that implies they know it's anticompetitive in some eay, yet roll it out elsewhere anyway.

Which shouldn't be surprising though, if companies refrained from anticompetitive behaviour because they think it's wrong, we wouldn't need these laws.

best_username_ever , in How France Adopts An Open Source-Based Education Strategy – Free of Big Tech

I’ll believe those lies when I see it. France has been licking the boots of Microsoft since forever.
