Rutte is an artist at that, but to be fair that is his job. “The Germans down and Americans in” I believe was the expression.

Depends on the number of potatoes I’m sure.

Public costs and private profits eh?

I think even a general strike would fall short as an action.

Where I come from we don’t have addresses on IDs - you’d have to replace them any time you move.

Then I got in (mild) trouble with German police because i didn’t. I had honestly never seen one that had it.

The big question on security guarantees is how to enforce them. Ukraine already has security guarantees from US, UK and Russia, but look what happened. Nobody cares.

The promising part about this proposal is, that it proposes a tripwire force, but is that sufficient?

What is this show?

Less than 200k to have a presidential aide spy for you sounds cheap.

Conflict.

Turkey did it and look what happened to them!

Their airspace was not violated again.

I would have driven my car into an incinerator. Only way to be sure.

Hey, I had been searching for a reasonably priced NC hosting for a while. I even considered a VPS from Hetzner but somehow didn’t find this. Thanks for pointing it out.

In Finland there is a party whose social feed was full of line items from the national budget they thought worth eliminating.

It’s really the only time when I’ve seen someone really take a look at the budget and try to figure out how to save from the non-essentials instead of arguing about how much to spend on eg. Hospitals vs defence.

20k is not a lot for betraying your country.

I may have heard.

What’s with the title?! Here’s my alternative: China’s EV boom makes a dent in fossil fuel consumption.

They did not breach national airspace.

I can’t bring myself to rewatch the damn thing, how can I expose my children to it?!

I mean, killing someone isn’t going to bring their money back. Putin has his boyars thrown out of windows to send a message, that’s why it’s obvious.

I mean, I am fine with my hobby website being taken down if it starts to consume an unreasonable amount of bandwidth.

They don’t need to give a free tier and I am not entitled to getting anything out of them. Since they have decided to offer one, I do expect to be consulted before sending a bill worth a ferrari.

I just checked I have no payment method on file. Should protect me.
