"So will your party join The Left or The Greens in the European Parliament?" "Yes." ( sh.itjust.works ) Englisch

So Sumar's (Spanish party) politicians will apparently be distributed across both The Left and the Greens European parties. Presumably an image maneuver, since joining an European party usually doesn't bind your vote, and Spanish green parties usually get integrated in leftist electoral options anyway.

They don't say what happened after that. Intercepted, aaand? Was it grounded, pilots arrested and interrogated? They probably just "escorted" them back to russia.

How is that a deterrent from doing it again?

They should be brought down, arrested and interrogated, plane inspected, surveillance data taken, then demand explanations from russia.

If they don't comply when told to land - shoot them down. That's what Turkey did and they no longer have this issue. russia only understands brute force.

EDIT: Someone just pointed out they didn't breach the airspace this time.

EDIT 2: Lemmy's strike-through formatting isn't working?

EDIT 3: Working now, separate strikes for each line.

Okay, I missed that. That changes everything I wrote in other comments 😅. Thought it was another case of breaching the air space.

Don't think you can break the strikethrough with a line space.

That was it 🤦🏻‍♂️, thanks.

Why does Facebookgram want to release election features in the first place? Fucking posers...

Volkswagen and BMW also tested exhaust fumes on monkeys and people between 2012 and 2015.

In 2015, Volkswagen Group (who makes cars under brands Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Škoda and more) was caught rigging the emission tests by activating emissions controls only during emissions testing.

But what else would you expect from a company founded by the Nazis.

Yes, I did read the article. Did you? Test were conducted by scientist hired by company funded only by Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW and goal of the tests was to challenge WHO's decision to classify diesel exhaust as a carcinogen.

When it was revealed, they made a press release saying they were horrified - well I guess that makes it ok then.

German chancellor backs EU plan to use frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine arms ( www.reuters.com ) Englisch

Around 90% of the revenues generated from Russian frozen assets should be spent on arms purchases for Ukraine, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Monday, supporting an earlier EU proposal to use Russian assets' interest payments to boost Ukraine defence....

Why only 90% and why "from revenues generated from frozen assets" instead of the actual assest?

I mean, it probably depends on supply, because if being ready to spend all the funds right away and supply cannot meet demand - then it makes sense to make puchases gradually. I just suspect that they plan to unfreeze and return those funds to Russia in the future and that's bugging me. Bloody politics.

Also, how do these funds generating revenue if they are "frozen"?

How do you close a city to tourists? Build walls and moat around it?

    Thanks for supplementary article. I don't really know this European Conservative website either (I just got the link) but they do mention that in the example they describe she was a cadet when they started dating. But how do cadets / police students get access to classify information about ongoing investigations?

    Interesting (and kind of creepy?). It all makes much more sense now.

    I wonder how much they were inspired by The Departed movie when planning this whole thing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
