First time war?
It has always been like that and it’s a reason a war should be avoided when you don’t have the power to maintain your military and economic force…
And it’s exactly why main leaders of the worlds warned russia months before the invasion until the first day of the invasion: “Are you sure? You should not move so many troops near ukraine border for your ’exercice’ Because you have more too loose as a super-power country”
He didn’t listen so now pay back!
The frozen assets will be given back AFTER the war reparations costs have been assessed and paid in full by Russia… So they won’t see them before a long time…
agree… let’s say “the skyrim we remember all, with all the beautiful mods fixing the outrageous real state of the game.”
Remove that. It’s too US centric. I don’t want that here.
I don’t think it’s the right place for this kind of message (or you just open a pandora box of totally not related world news from everybody for everything). .
But good luck for your recovery! You should have watched Die Hard and learnt from John McClane than going barefoot around glass and metal is not a good idea…
I have no issue giving money to people defending themself from an agressor.
Do you?
Yes but not in term of sanction… Do you think the head of boeing will pay himself the fine?
When accountability is not enforced to the real responsible(s), well… you see what happens…
It’s even worse…
At no moment, you are in financial or personal trouble because (despite this situation being 100% your decision) it’s your old company!
You already left with a big bonus and don’t care if this decision will impact people life… You fly in private jet…
Yep, really good system…
The election goal of today (2nd turn) and last week (1st turn) was to elect members of the parlement. You have people with local needs, views, representating people from all around the country. We vote for someone that will represent us in front of the governement.
They are the source of any new laws, voted in this parlement then validated in the senate (another set of people, usually older… Sound familiar for our US readers? Normal, USA copied our way of working when creating the country… with some variations and interruption of course…). They also create and vote the budget (including the army budget btw).The prime minister give the direction of the parlement laws.
Usually the majority of the parlement and the prime minister are aligned because they represent the party big lines. Today we had a big shift of direction (party) so the whole governement (PM + Ministers except the president) need to be reworked as they are no more aligned with the parlement just elected. Staying will bring nothing but eternal obstruction and lack of legitimacy.
And usually the president, elected directly by us in another election, make sure his parlement is aligned with him. Macron tried that with the dissolution but got the complete opposite result at the end.
Frenchs don’t like when a president try a “technicality” (the dissolution) to gain more power and bring nazi in power as a side effect
It was a huge risk, playing with our institution, and it was also obvious - when he announced it - that he will loose even more.
He probably tried to get us vote for his party to block the nazi like the last time… But as he didn’t followed his own vow since the last election…
For additional context: The nigth of the previous election, when we were doing another barrage against the nazi and elected him as a consequence, he told us “i own you my victory and won’t forget it”. He even did worst, shitting on the face of the people who did the barrage instead of being moderate.
well, he lost his bet
But i won’t be surprised if he continue to even be more silly before the end of his term. I expect another dissolution in one year or him leaving the position…
Ps: Thanks to the candidate of Macron party (arrived 3rd last week in my town) who didn’t put her name on the 2nd turn to make sure the nazi (arrived 1st in my town -_-) couldn’t win. Having only one candidate against the nazi make us win our local election.
At least, some people know where to draw a line between republic and politics
except if you compare it with windows 11.
My Win11 was so bad (compared to Win10) than I’ve switched to ArchLinux. I’ve won around 10~20fps without doing anything particular (and also gain some better loading time as the nvme sequential access performance was much much better under linux).
When the first stage of the invasion started, Macron was the president of Europe. So he had to play his role and present the view of the european leaders, even if it was not aligned with our internal views.
I don’t like him, didn’t vote for him the first time (2nd time i did vote for him to avoid marine le pen election, founded by russian banks btw…) but you can’t use his behavior (amenable), trying to avoid escalation, as “yeah i’m your buddy putin, go ahead” or "i totally trust you’.
Our head of intelligence was fired because HE didn’t present the invasion as realistic (based on normal logic it really silly)… but the whole intel community was fully aware of putin desires. President included. He knew Putin was playing with him. Everybody knew.
But he had to play his role, as EU leader at this time.
Well US bases and operations (fligths etc) are not welcome here since general DeGaulle so they would be intercepted when entering our countrie borders.
Exactly what i did. Help also to not mix work and private life by having 2 distinct VM: one with ArchLinux for Gaming/Private apps, one with win10 for work
I’ve spent some time reading this page and the associated exchanges between these people/devs. Amazing work and professional behavior. I’m impressed.
Bravo, very good explanation! As fun fact, i still have at work several DEC ALPHA and OpenVMS servers (some are now VM but we still have physical servers from this era managing our data) and Ctrl+C works well!
Totally useless “article”. You learn nothing, you have to navigate between poor writing with high usage of explectives. It’s like reading a 11 years-old rebel child blog.
tdrl: he use Arch linux, boomers…
Nop. In your head only.
