Opinion | By killing schoolchildren en masse, we are giving Iranians the freedom and liberty that Americans have enjoyed in Littleton, Newtown, Parkland, and Uvalde.

Maybe the US thinks they can just bomb the sea from air? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

You keep talking about accession criteria as if there is anything preventing countries to disregard them once their in. Speaking of which, it's France and Germany that opened thst door long before Orban, by ignoring EU fiscal rules in 2004/6, and Denmark when it closed its border in 2015.

russians aside, there;re americans (chekk their national security strategy), tech bros (ireland, looking at you), china (uk latest scandals), uae/qatar (eu parliament). so...it's not about the size of the country or whether they are catholics/protestant (trusted?) or orthodox/muslims (untrusted?)

small countries means less voters and parliamentarians need to be influenced in order to create decision-making blockades; turning a single political party or few members of the parliament in a country of 400k is much easier than in france or germany (and it is working even in those countries). 2/3

sorry to invade your safe western europe space but it's not a matter of geography (iceland good, montenegro bad) but the type of parliamentary system and it's resilience to foreign influence. iceland, just like montenegro, has a system that heavily relies on post-election coalitions to function. 1/3

Stakes are enormous as long as the EU makes most of the key decisions unanimously. BTW. Montenegro, scheduled to join in 2028/9 is also 400k.

Weird how creating conditions where powerful people never have to face real accountability leads to powerful people abusing their power. Who could have predicted that?

Problem is we need a bit of oil for other stuff (petrochemicals, plastics, fertilisers...) . Which makes it even harder to accept the idiocy of blocking Mercosur.

In this current harsh world, let's warm a few hearts remembering the events of 7-8 March 1991, when the 90,000 people of Brindisi woke up to find 25,000 Albanians roaming the streets of their town. For perspective, that's roughly equivalent to 25k people suddenly landing in Hastings [Thread] >> 1

Just as Blair’s relatively β€œeasy” wars in Kosovo and Sierra Leone etc encouraged him to overreach in Iraq, Trump’s relatively easy interventions in Venezuela, Syria, Nigeria etc encouraged him to overreach in Iran.
Unfortunately it’ll probably end the same way: with decades of strife and civil war

So... What Merz said about the French wanting carrier capable nuke carrying plane and Germans wanting multi-roll, air superiority, ground support is not fully correct? Didn't Airbus CEO said they can do it without the French / Dassault?

I have zero confidence in Saudi military proves but I believe they will have better success rate against the army of influencers in Dubai than they are having against battle hardened Houthies.
Of course, if Emirates manage to bring their Sudanese friends, situation changes again 😊

It could end in a few days if the Saudis decide to launch their own special military operation.

and i;m sure they will one day...but not now, hence the problems. and just as the oil crises of the 70s led to more energy efficient, cleaner cars, this one will accelerate our move away from oil

that is a very narrow look at what the crude is for; plastics, synthetics, construction material, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fertilizers....the list goes on and on...and all of it depending on crude oil
