@Antikeburg Its neutral imo, its just how it is my uncle on the other side is just hyper dutch.
Success of integration often is decided in the second generation, and since my aunt is frisian my cousin now even looks like the average dutch countryside zoomer
@Antikeburg@NAFOIsBack But the again will anything under a Vox/PP government I doubt that, I mean it probably will revoke all Sanchez tomfoolery regarding Israel but in regards to Ukraine I would doubt that
@Antikeburg@NAFOIsBack But you actually do by supporting EU integration. Morals dont mean shit if confronted by national interest.
The net gain for Germany is my framework, I like the Ukrainians but dont pretend we support them because profit immensely from that
@maaaaaaaagd@Antikeburg@NAFOIsBack Yeah and I simply dont care about that, I prefer the economic benefits for Germany getting access to Israeli technology and the information that allows to stop arab terror attacks.
@maaaaaaaagd@Antikeburg@NAFOIsBack I dont care about this retarded framework, its a worthless definition to me.
I do dislike all muslim majority states since their either rent seeking retards or incompetent shitholes
@Antikeburg@NAFOIsBack Na either point is consistent depending on your morale framework.
I like Israel and Israelis since I know quiet a lot through my dad, but I do dislike Bibi and Smotrich.
The Reach Surplus
By late September, RIA's map claimed roughly 6,000 km² more territory than DeepState's. A gap that size can't be explained by reporting lag or a few disputed villages, so everyone now brings their own theory. Mine will follow the framework defined in sponge defense, fracking assault, control decay and expandable ivanZ nature.
@Antikeburg Meister gehe einfach zu nem örtlichen Corps und guck ob es für dich passt.
Dann hast du so viel zu tun, dass du gar nicht groß Trübsal haben kannst.
In Mannheim kann ich Rheno-Nicaria empfehlen, die waren zu meiner Zeit ganz witzig
Sanctions were meant to be a common instrument. As of today, they are a bargaining chip.
EU ambassadors extended sanctions on nearly 3000 listed individuals and entities for 36 months instead of the usual six. That part was long awaited. The price was the delisting of Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman, demanded first by Slovakia, then France, then Luxembourg. There were "reasons" - national interest, arbitration claims. None of them have anything to do with Ukraine or European security.
The worst of it is that there was no case for delisting. Both men challenged their listings in court and both lost. The evidence held. The procedure worked. And now they come off the list anyway, because one or two capitals had national interests to service. There is no better gift to Moscow's core argument: that EU sanctions are arbitrary punishment requiring no justification, applied and lifted at political convenience. We spent years proving the opposite. We disproved ourselves this afternoon.
Latvia held the line longest and apparently we held it alone. In the end we abstained, after Paris offered closer air defence cooperation and potential access to its nuclear umbrella. Read that again. An objection on sanctions policy was settled with a bilateral security offer. However good the offer, this is not how a common foreign and defence policy works.
Nobody wrote prisoner release into the decision. Everybody knows that is what it buys. Authoritarian regimes now have a tested method: detain European citizens, pressure the relevant capital, and the EU's Russia policy becomes negotiable. Kremlin drew the conclusion within hours, backing Paris and Luxembourg and demanding relief for all Russian businessmen and all Russian citizens.
Pandora's box, once opened, does not close on request.
The three-year cycle is the one sound element here. Six-month renewals invited blackmail, hostage to shifting political moods and election results.
Nothing prevents the rest from acting. Latvia will impose national sanctions on Usmanov and Fridman. The other 23 can do the same tomorrow. The question is whether they will.
