They must be lining up to grab some extra profits there.

A proudly independent European nation confronted with a stark political choice: keep EU single market access but only by making financial payments, taking migrants and giving up judicial power.

This time the question is not one for Brexit Britain — but Switzerland.

After more than a decade of grinding talks with Brussels, the Alpine country has reached a deal to keep and improve its access to the EU’s single market.

you’re accusing me of defending genocide?

Not all forms of genocide, this particular one. I also said i don’t think you’re doing it intentional. I appreciate you’re trying to bring nuance, i think it’s important we keep seeing good things in between the bad things. But the danger of only writing on the not so bad parts, we make it easier for the people who are defending the bad things (Russian trolls in this case) to drop their narrative. My post was meant more as a warning than as an accusation. Also because it can be hard to see in what ways something can be interpreted while you yourself know exactly what you mean by it. But i’ll say again, despite i think your comment (not you as a person) defended genocide or could be seen as such, i really think it is a good thing your not putting everyone is the same box.

There are many people caught in the middle suffering - do not let them suffer just because they are part of a system that is failing them.

If we loose sight of that, we will stop caring for their fates and that likely will only increase their suffering.

To be honest I had never heard of Bob Vylan before, so the people screaming they should be banned (so they dont become known?) reached the opposite effect, at least for me personally.

You seem to forget a lot of these children are not helpless orphans who’s parents died in the war and now need a new future. Sure there might be some person somewhere genuinely trying to help these children, but they’re still being brainwashed into believing their old society was bad and their new society is good. This is a form of ethnical cleansing, similar to how colonizers in North-America tried to ‘educate’ the children of the natives.

Also you talk about misplacement as if these children accidentally were on the wrong side of the front, but many of them were intentionally seperated from their parents.

I don’t think you mean to defend this form of genocide, but by omitting the war crimes that Russia comitted, you kind of are.

How would you summerize it then?

Tldr; China is looking for new friends after US ditched them, eu not interested.

I didn’t know this was an issue, but it sounds quite serious. At same time, if the politiciansthere have to follow Belgian laws i also wonder if it’s really the Belgium authoraties that are in the wrong.

“The Parliament, at several levels, is keen to convey the message to Belgian authorities that they need to act up and be more professional,” said a high-ranking Parliament official, granted anonymity to speak about sensitive matters. “Their mistakes and carelessness can extremely damage the reputation of members and EU institutions.”

That the headline i mention was from an article in the sun, what else could i mean?

I guess this would work, but why not make a specific law? Copyright is meant for creative acts. Humans are created, in an act, but, never mind.

This is already a few years old and it’s been a cat and mouse game for years already. This was done in Hong Kong for a while and it turned out difficult for them because you can’t easily remove it, you are still recognizable as someone who went there. I believe the next step was using more subtle make-up to give their face a different look because facial recognition makes a pattern, changing where your cheekbones seem end and start or how point your chin looks breaks the system. But then the police started tweaking their system so they could better see faces with filters and infra-red camera’s so I believe now they use small devices that blur of block the camera’s view of the face. Might be that also doesn’t work anymore but haven’t heard much about Hong kong lately tbh.

This might work if your always in a big group and want to prevent being found later, because if you make it home unseen they might not be able to track you there. But still, although your real face isn’t recognizable by regular camera’s, you as an individual are still easily tracked since you stand out.

An article in The Sun?

Jesus, people fall for the dumbest shit.

And you’re mentioning it, like you’re proud of it.

Not saying i find The Sun a credible source, they can still report on true events. I am not the one posted the article. I’m mentioning it, because I care for sharing the source.

European Union leaders were presented with a report by Kaja Kallas, the bloc’s foreign policy chief, showing that children make up 44 percent of the casualties in Gaza, according to the president.

[…] and nearly two dozen other offences, Norwegian police said on June 27, handing the case to prosecutors to decide whether to press charges.

Oslo police on Friday announced charges against Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest son of Norway’s crown princess, on counts including rape, sexual assault and bodily harm after a months-long investigation of a case that involved a “double-digit” number of alleged victims.

Guy watched Game of Thrones and based his whole personality off it.

They weren’t purposefully breaking stuff meant for Ukraine though, they were purposefully breaking stuff owned by a Israeli defense company that happened to be meant for Ukraine.

At least you can download the entire DeepSeek model.

That doesn’t say anything about the input being stored/processed. Germany being more trustworthy of US companies compared to a Chinese one isn’t very strange. Not saying US companies should be trusted.

Ikr, it’s unbelievable. I wish at least there was like this one story of a leaked spy thing we did to Russia, but there seems to be nothing except support Ukraine (at least there is that).

Italy, Spain and three other southern EU countries have criticised a proposed Franco-British migration deal, arguing it could leave them having to take back people returned from the UK to the continent.

The five nations, which also include Greece, Malta and Cyprus, have sent a letter to the European Commission, seen by the Financial Times, objecting to France negotiating an arrangement to swap asylum seekers with Britain in a bid to deter migrants from crossing the Channel in boats.
