  • Hegseth halted weapons for Ukraine despite military analysis that the aid wouldn’t jeopardize U.S. readiness

  • The nukes were in Ukraine, but the launch codes and control of them were in Moscow. Also Ukraine were in no position financially to keep them. Getting rid of them were the best option for Ukraine at the time.

    The fact that the Americans voted for a demented felon who appointed Kegsbreath the alcoholic is the real problem.

  • Switzerland stirs Brexit ghosts in push for EU access

    Jump

  • Thank you. I love Switzerland, but they (you) benefit massively from the EU, as does all member states. Pretending otherwise it's just dumb.

    We stand together or we get eaten by the US or China. Simple as.

  • What do you mean with "... let their economy be too dependent on EU labour and interconnected with EU"?

  • A large company with deep pockets, with the ability to influence politics, so yes, I'd say it does matter.

  • Germany iirc. So yes, they know.

  • French pension reform talks fail as projections show deficit to keep growing

  • The living standard is also much higher now. More people expecting more help from the state with more complex problems. Let's for example take a premature baby that would have died 20 years ago can now be saved and can live a long life, but needing 24x7 care by medical staff. Or the fact that our parents and grandparents live longer, but care and medicine cost a lot more.

    I'm not disputing that the top takes too much, but the standard of care, medicine and other things cost too.

  • She did give away a lot of money to charity. About 16% of her wealth when she became a billionaire iirc. Gave to help children in poverty and to fight the disease MS.

    I don't know much about her stance on trans people other than she seems to believe that there is a difference between trans and biological women. Feel free to drop a good link where I can educate myself.

    Anyway, reading comments here make it sound like she's a modern day Hitler that's never done anything good in her life, and that sounds both unfair and untrue.

  • Do they want more migration? Because this is how you get more migration.

  • As much as I hate those silly headlines I don't change them. The editor will have to live with the shame.

  • Officers shoot rubber bullet at reporter for "9 News Austraila" reporting in downtown LA

    Jump

  • So that's reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and incompetence instead.

    The shooter should still be prosecuted.

  • How is this not assault with a deadly weapon? She's there working, clearly not a threat.

    That cop should be prosecuted.

  • I landed a remote job for a European company, and now I'd find it hard to go back to a US-based company — I feel spoiled by the perks

  • Nordic parents have it great—but birth rates are still falling

    Jump

  • I'd say yes and no. The strain on the planet would lessen for sure. But then we have the dependency ratio, meaning the amount of people in work related to those out of work, like children, the elderly, disabled etc.

    This are getting worse in every European country. More babies won't fix it, at least not in the short term but it'll lessen the impact in about 20 years.

    To fix the dependency ratio you either drasticly reduce the welfare state, increase the retirement age, raise taxes, or accept a lot of immigrants. Any of those options appealing to the general public you think?
