  • Germany’s Merz sits powerless as Trump attacks European allies in Oval Office

  • You don’t even get what the issue is here FFS.

    I get it. I just don't agree with you.

    You’re not offering a solution, you’re deflecting the criticism.

    Suggesting that you provide alternative sources if you don't like the ones provided isn't a solution?

    We had the discussion about Politico’s issues before. I know you know because you commented on the thread. I even linked somewhere else in this very thread. I’m not going to repeat everything.

    Yeah, you don't like Axel Springer media. So therefore nobody should be allowed to read Politico because... reasons; even though there's nothing obviously wrong with Politico according to bias and fact checking sites.

    What I don't understand is your crusade, but I'm sure you have your reasons.

  • Sweden Tells Citizens to Hold Cash in Case of War or Crisis

  • Very true. There's a law coming this summer that will force companies to accept cash as a payment method. Uncertain if it'll be voted through though.

    2 racing drivers who killed young french woman will not be jailed, court rules. They hit her at 110km/hour. The two men feel relieved, but the family of the victim is disappointed.

  • No, I won't sit around reading sickening (literally!) news...

    Then... don't? You have no obligation to read what I post.

    Criticism cannot be answered by "Make it better yourself"...

    What's wrong with offering a solution to your perceived problem?

    Unproven claim. (Ground News and FCMB don't count, they have scewed perspectives themselves).

    I've checked a number of them, they all pretty much agree. Where's the proof that the bias and fact checks are false?

  • ‘Blood rain’ and fiery skies threaten Europe thanks to massive Saharan dust storm

  • You'd have to take that up with the editor of the site, however it does mention that people with respiratory conditions should limit their time outdoors due to inhaling the dust isn't very healthy.

  • Be the change you want to see in the world. Give alternative sources, share articles, make the community vibrant with activity and informed discussions about the topic at hand.

    The usefulness of this community depends on news being shared, with no activity there's no reason to visit.

    And like it or not, politico covers a lot of European politics and its being reported as factual and center left by bias and fact checking sites, so as a source it's good enough, even if the owner is an ass.

  • I mean it both is and isn't. It does help small countries from being steamrolled by the bigger ones, so it was easier to get countries to join knowing that they would not be overruled by Germany, France and Britain. The assumption was that you would have rational actors in place that wanted to do good for their people. It's been working well, mostly.

    But also yeah, it's frustrating to see one or two bad actors mess things up.

    Individual countries can still act though, it just won't be an EU coordinated thing.

    Edit: Damn autocorrect.
