They sure could if they want to.

I don’t believe the government intended to create a business from the migrant crisis though, it just happens to be where their choices brought them.

This is how it should be in a just world, but we do not live in one

I agree, but if we as people do whatever the fuck we want the politicians won’t have a good example of how they’re supposed to treat people.

and the only reason we even have basic human rights at all is because they were violently protested for, and 99% of the violence came from the state.

We the people do have allies within the state, although there are plenty of places were those allies are kicked out as soon as they do some good, not all states are an enemy of the people. Again, i too believe we should uphold politicians to high standards and we should praise them without good reason, but the least we can do is treat them as decently as we’d like to be treated ourselves. But i guess if i was living in a place where national politics was a mess like the UK or US, i’d be less willing to defend the basterds that are breaking ‘my’ democracy too. Not judging anyone in that regard.

Though i’m against criminalizing protesters, i do think people who do bad things on their job also deserve a private life. If they break the law they should be brought to court obviously, but if they act within the bounds of the rule of law protest should be against the movement or the system that allows this bad individual that does the bad thing. I’ll get some downvotes for saying this, but i believe we should not only be decent to people who do things we like, but to literally everyone.

You can be a foreigner, no problem. You can be super-rich, that’s fine. But both? Unacceptable.

Would make it more livable too, without Moscow’s oppression.

They sure are, and they didnt went there as football hooligans. Point is there was an organised effort to instigated violence by a group that is different fromt the group that organised a peaceful protest - even though both groups have similar political views.

Dutchie here - the violence wasn’t instigated by the right-wing protesters but by football hooligans who tend to have similar views on migration. I think it is important to make the distinction especially since English language reporting on this is much more alarmist imo.

Edit because i wrote my comment in the wrong place, but i totally agree with this.

Great, do Russian spy drones next

Guess it’s gonna either be Eurovision without Israel or Israelvision with Germany

What a nice puddle to present a car in

Sanctions on ‘extremist ministers and violent settlers’ will also be put forward,

They have said so many stuff on record that a judge would undoubtly rule as crimes against humanity, there is no way you could doubt their intentions. They should have been sanctioned long ago.

Go to an art museum and somebody will say ‘my 6 year old can make this too’, in my view this is a similar fallacy.

Maria Martin-Prat, deputy director-general at the Commission’s directorate-general for trade, reiterated the EU executive’s plan to finalise trade deals with India and Indonesia by the end of 2025.

She also noted that Brussels is “engaged very actively” to boost ties with a number of Southeast Asian countries, including the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand

China and Russia are aligned, if they pull India to their side the west might feel serious consequences. Especially now the EU and the US are no longer allies. I’m glad EU is picking up the pace to make sure we will not become anybodies enemy. I feel we have enough of those.

I agree with this, we dont need to like the US but we can’t afford to be their enemy. At the same time, covert influence operations are usually done by hostile states. If US doesn’t behave as a friend, we shouldn’t treat them as such.

So first the promises made by brexiteers turned out to be unrealistic, then the warnings made by remain turned out to be right. Can’t say I’m surprised. Hang in there Brits <3
