CAN Enhanced (Permanent?) Fwd Presence in Latvia

He kind of did:



So did Musk.



The question that is an open one which I can't answer is whether the far-right AfD constitutes a "Nazi" movement. They are certainly embedded in the nationalist/anti-immigrant furor sweeping Europe and in that respect one has to ask the question at what point is the "Nazi" analogy appropriate.

It would seem their stance has softend since forming. They are anti immigration. A term used by the opposition when someone is against illegal immigration. Who here isn't against illegal immigration..

The ruling parties that oppose them are the ones that are sending SWAT teams to people's houses, breaking down doors and jailing people for internet comments.

You're gay. Jail.
You're . Jail
Comment on illegal immigrants. Jail

Perhaps it's the current government that should be labelled off side and not the party they are afraid of.

"Founded in 2013, AfD has been labelled as ‘far-right’ by mainstream parties and media—a common tactic in Europe and the United States to marginalize and discredit right-wing forces among voters. Although the party faced scandals in its early years, its moderate faction has since worked to distance itself from radical elements as AfD gained more popularity in federal politics. Despite these efforts, a long-standing agreement among establishment parties—the Social Democrats (SPD), the Liberals (FDP), the Greens, and the centre-right Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU)—to exclude AfD from governing coalitions remains in place. This so-called ‘firewall’ extends to the legislative process, with mainstream parties refusing to support or introduce legislation that could pass only with AfD’s backing. However, this might change after February."

Perhaps we'll see a change in the people's perspective on the 23rd.

This guy called a politician an idiot.

Siding against the west? They are the west.

He has spoken a number of times with Zelensky, now he speaks with the Russians.

You don't go into a negotiation or a mediation with everyone at the table. You just don't. You feel out both sides, see what they want, what they'll give up and what they won't accept. Once you have a basis and a general consensus, THEN you bring the two sides together so all they need to do is hammer out the finer points and sign the agreement. Mediation/ negotiation 101 for Dummies.

That's how these things work. Zelensky got his back up because he's a comedian that doesn't know how things work. He's never had to deal with a ceasefire or peace agreement. He's a pseudo dictator without a real government or diplomats to make him understand these things. He has to learn on the fly and he just had his first lesson.

The dealership and your bank met this morning.

You're buying a new car.

Hi guys, me again. Looks like the garbage can overflowed for a second time. I'm pretty sure everyone can keep Ukraine in the Ukraine area and whatever Trump segways in the Trump thread.
