And, of course, if you want your children to have a peak male physique.

Germany has the Wahl-o-mat, a website that does a good job of giving people a quick overview over the parties anx their positions. Is there something similar for other countries as well?

Shows that there are enough people so desparate to be lead, that they’ll follow anyone, as long as they are confident and unapologetic. And then there are the grifters that’ll do anything for clout and money. Trump supporters have shown themselves to be naive and easily manipilated, so those grifters flock to pander to them.

It waw McGregor. And while the explosion was spectacular, it happened on the test stand, so not much damage was done actually.

Mbin. Compatible with both Lemmy and Mastodon. Con: Mbin is even more beta software than Lemmy is. Lots of missing QoL.

What avenues of escalation are left to Putin? 80% of his army is tied up in Ukraine, the rest is needed for border patrol. All russian men that would join the army voluntarily have already joined, so a big mobilization would see the support for the war plummet. And after that, all that is left is the big N word. And there are plenty of reasons why Putin doesn’t want to use those.

On the other hand, letting Ukraine lose will lead to much more instability in the future.

Edit: above comment accused ‘lefties’ of wanting WW3.

And here I am, emailing password protected zip files to people when the documents are not to be scanned by my mail provider.

Noone relied on the EU for protection, because the EU was largely unaffected by wars in the past. However with the war in Ukraine, the EU is directly affected. And a war over Taiwan would affect the EU in a similar gravity. A war over Albania less so, but a NATO member and a (former) candidate to join the EU, Turkey, is likely to be directly involved in such a war. If the EU shows that it is unwilling to push back against aggression, even if the EU is directly affected, then the EU will lose a lot ofinfluence with other regional powers.

Armenia was in CSTO, they are no longer. And if Taiwan is attacked, the US and Europe will be affected above all others, as both economies are highly industrialized and thus highly dependent on the microchips coming out of Taiwan and South Korea.

It’s the credibility as an ally. If the EU fails to supply Ukraine, even though the EU shares a land border with Ukraine, Taiwan, Armenia and other nations currently threatened will not rely on the EU’s support, but rather just surrender to aggressors. Especially with Taiwan, any conflict there would blow up world-wide trade, as everyone and everything is dependent on taiwanese microchips. It would also mean that many Ukrainians feeling betrayed by the West would flood into the EU (or are already here), which would lead to a lot of strife. Lastly, every dictator will feel emboldened, as precedent shows that you only have to keep your offensive going until the public loses interest. When the current world order is upset, many conflicts will form and grow. Any power vacuum left by a retreating power will be fought over and filled.

Yeah, sadly I see Macron’s statement about french troops in Ukraine as nothing more than hot air. The last I heard, France was blocking buying artillery shells from non-EU sources, even though those shells could be shipped right now.

Gonna wait for a stable male.

Or there could be a delay of one minute before posts get federated, giving the user the option to quickly delete a comment or post.

I read that rural voters often feel like the government isn’t for them, they feel disempowered. And in response, they seek to undermine and break the system that disempowers them. They do not look to improve or change the system, they want to destroy it. So when people yell at them for threatening democracy by voting for a lunatic with dictator fantasies, they feel empowered.

That is one thing Lemmy is not good at: Protecting its users legally. No admin can be expected to hire a lawyer to fight off those companies.

If anything, it makes the iPhone safer. If only one website renderer is used, you only need to find a zero-day in that one renderer to potentially infect all iPhones. Now that other web engines are going to be permitted, attackers will have to contend with multiple web engines. And you as user can choose to use a smaller web engine like Gecko in order to decrease the likelihood of being successfully attacked.

Challenging Republican won’t solve them bowing to Trump, but it’s good to make them try to weasel out of explaining their obvious lack of consistency.

Are doctors ever considered collaborateurs? If they rat out soldiers, sure, but I haven’t heard Ukraine trying doctors for doing their job. If anything, they are lauded for continuing their job, like the operators at Chernobyl were, when they worked under Russian occupation.

As per the other articles, you know collaborators are picked just because.

Then they will have an excelent defense in court. There they can argue for their innocence. Russias treatment of suspected traitors has been quite different. You can try to make your case, but you can’t really argue with gravity while falling out of a window, now can you?

And you think from the hundreds of thousand of collaborators they will punish them mildly and selectivity?

Yes. Because Ukraine is striving to be a democracy and already is moreso than Russia ever was, because the eyes of the Western world in combination with the pressure that comes with being dependent on Western aid will keep Ukraine in line and because Ukrainians understand that their fellow countrymen were subjected to intense pressures by the Russian occupation.

Yea but also per Ukrainian law you are not allowed to hold two citizensships. Hence you either dont have one or are a Russian for the Ukrainian goverment.

And you think Ukraine wouldn’t allow its citizens to simply throw their forced Russian passport in the trash?

Mass civial graves where fake. German TV stations showed clearly military graves and claimed it was civilian. I saw the bodies.

The UN, as useless as it is, has released a report on the warcrimes committed by Russia.
Wer der BILD glaubt, hat von Anfang an verloren.

Deported children. What would you do with children in a warzone? Shitty but better then dying due to shellings.

The ICC has taken on a lawsuit against Russia for child trafficking. Fun fact, the admission from the Russian side makes this easiest case to proceed, as per the lead ICC prosecutor:

JL: You’ve described Ukraine as a crime scene. The crimes are widespread and extensive. You don’t have infinite resources. So how do you focus the ICC efforts in Ukraine?

KK: You make decisions, which must be informed by many factors: the gravity, the availability of evidence and the need to work at the speed of relevance. This is exactly what we’ve done in relation to Ukraine, in relation to the public warrants, because of the admissions effectively made by individuals in the Russian Federation, particularly President Putin and Children’s Rights Commissioner Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova. We investigated crimes against children and we move forward. And that’s the basic approach anywhere else: we look at the most serious crimes. When there’s more than one serious crime, we also look at the types of evidence available and start moving. And then we can go deeper, if and when necessary and if and when justified by the evidence.

Torture chambers? Yes just as anyone does.

Here is the sourced Wikiledia article for Russian torture chambers. There is no article describing Ukrainian torture chambers. I wonder why that is? /s

Mass rapes where fake due to the Ukraine’s generals attorney not being able to find any evidence of them.

The allegation that Russia uses rape systematically couldn’t be substantiated. That is something entirely different than claiming that rapes aren’t happening.

Here is just one article of many, interviewing victims.

Violence was and constantly is done to civilians on the Ukraine’s side. Just look at draft videos in Ukriane.

Do we want to compare draft videos now? Ok, here is my entry:
