wow, that high kick (in the last video)

You think that’s one of multiple reasons, or the sole reason?

Russia still spouts the “they’re Nazis” nonsense in all kinds of directions. Do you think those are correct too?

In what timeframe?

When I access through Thunderbird via IMAP the emails have been rewritten. It’s not local to the Outlook client software.

I think my webmail is outlook.office.com, dunno if that’s the same as outlook.office365.com. It may be a org/account setting managed by my org. Maybe you also don’t receive emails with unlabeled links, where it’s very obvious that they’re replaced. On linked text, only if you notice the URL you’re opening.

Outlook replaces weblinkes in emails as well, to a “safelinks” redirect URL. Certainly a security feature, but man it’s annoying. Not just the redirect, and the potential tracking, but when a readable URL to my build server build turns into a multiline cryptic unreadable mess and then pollutes my webbrowser history - fuck.

I already thought about a Thunderbird extension where I can replace them back to their original.

(My workplace uses Outlook.)

Next: Chameleon cars. Or maybe not. Russia doesn’t have the money or tech for it.

very cute

Did that go through? Last I heard Putin/Russia did not follow through with that POW exchange. Zelensky followed with it is the responsibility of the USA to make sure it goes through, given that they guaranteed it to Ukraine in the negotiations.

For a little while now I’ve wanted to ask my representatives why there’s no sanctions on Trump yet, and if any are planned. These new tariffs certainly show appeasement or defusion doesn’t work. All while we’re losing much more in terms of international rule of law and the incoming long term impacts.

They’re probably hesitant/refusing sanctions because we’re so connected to the US, economically and politically. But seeing the US government violate international law and no consequences being taken like against Russian war-connected people is frustrating to see.

I wonder if Trump wouldn’t be more willing to leave Iran if Europe put more pressure on him.

Have you seen images of the last hits? The fire is/was crazy.

Russia’s main demand is no Nato.

This is bullshit. ‘No NATO’ is one of Russia’s many lies, a talking point, a pushed narrative, a lie they used at some point. At the same time, Putin has publicly stated intention of getting control of UDSSR land “back”.

NATO was never an enemy of a collaborative or just Russia. It was only opposition to military action.

Giving in to ‘no Nato’ is giving up on autonomy and on being able to defend, with all its consequences.

Today’s USA under Trump is more of an ally to Russia than not. Trump is actively working for Putin and against Europe. It’s just that the political and systematic environment protects us from worse, for now.

Dazu dann nachts um 1 Uhr aufstehen? :(

Which relations specifically do you suggest we rebuild?

The Russia before the recent invasion was a Russia preparing for war. Russia has and had explicit pursued goals of destabilization of Europe and making Europe dependent. and Russia wants its UDSSR land and control back. The US isn’t the problem in that relationship. I certainly don’t want back into that trajectory.

China has its own voiced claims and seekings of foreign territories. They’re fundamentally egoistic and pursuing control and dominance. It was an asymmetric trade, making use of the open European market while having a closed domestic market. They were stealing know-how and then used subsidization to weaken and drive out European competition. I don’t want back onto that relationship and trajectory either.

We need new kinds of relations. And the US doesn’t stand in the way of that. It’s another party we need new kinds of relations with.

What they were saying is in the sentence following the one you quoted.

At least Germany supports the regime change.

Of course, as you point out, they’re making wrong assumptions or deliberately mislead. With that, what they were saying falls apart.

Germany became trustworthy and stable through democratic systems and the rule of law. OP pulling an equivalence to Russia of today is insane.

Wenn ich am Radio rumstelle, verfahre ich mich immer, und dann muss ich länger fahren und verbrauche auch mehr, ist doch logisch!

Noch weniger, wenn man dabei den Motor abschaltet!

Depends on what you understand ‘harmony’ to be, but seeking harmony can be equally risky and damaging. Like seeking cooperation with Putin or Trump to the point of losing your own strengths. No matter what you give, they’ll move the goal post sooner or later anyway. This applies to all kinds of cooperation. In national politics it’s not taking a stance and exclusion against the far right, otherwise they will infest, gain, and ultimately dismantle.

If you’re saying I can go to youtube

Dunno what you mean. It’s a good documentary, an on-location report. If you’re not interested in that, in general or video form, you don’t have to watch it. That’s how it is on a community platform of varying posts and media.

The quote is from their video description. It’s not a transcript.
