Hungary should have the mangalica, it's a furry pig, and it fits sooo well.

Oh, it's not just gaming

What the actual heck are you talking about?

NATO has no bearing on the European economic situation while admitting in the next breath it has huge implications for energy prices due to trade with Russia.

Energy prices went up since Russia is conducting a military invasion on the country transiting said energy, and as a result of EU/US sanctions that are the result of war crimes, crimes of aggression and genocide. The only thing NATO does currently is ensure that can't spill over to more countries being attacked. NATO didn't do jack shit yet. Individual countries, and the EU, did.

and your countrymen have been calling me blind drunk screaming about how they have no money

Our countrymen should look for their money at Hatvanpuszta or Mészáros & Mészáros. Russian puppet Orbán stole all the money and the future of the country, Russian puppet Orbán made it impossible to have children, get sick, or die, with dignity, he is responsible for producing the highest real estate inflation, the highest food inflation in the EU, and it's all because he'd rather take Russian cock to his throat than have less corruption kickbacks.

A ruszkik meg igazán hazamehetnének végre és foglalkozhatnának a saját országukkal ahelyett hogy mongol módjára fosztogatnak és erőszakolnak nyugatra.

As is tradition.

Isn't that not just an imperialistic trait, not necessarily a fascistic one? Franco's Spain didn't collapse, while it was still very much fascistic.

All the while, this trait is very much applicable to the Roman, Ottoman, Soviet or US empires.

The DMA has no bearing on disinfo, it's about access, like mandating a public API to federate with or banning self-preferencing with other products.

The disinfo thing is regulated by the DSA - Digital Services Act, and it very much applies to Twitter.

I'd say it's more like "we will only fight if we can keep it off our lawn and avoid tracking in the mud". America didn't dare fight 1939 Germany, only 1944 Germany when the war was already decided, and the real pivotal battles have already been won. It didn't dare fight the Soviets when they took over half of Europe, and it didn't dare fight the Soviets directly for the next century, and it "won" the Cold War by default, only to be coopted by Russian intelligence just recently.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it's so weird having grown up in a country that has really known war, and to talk with Americans who think fighting a war is anything glorious.

And "every blade of grass" is reformer bullshit by the way, just to keep with the community theme. Unrestricted war crimes, nukes and chemical warfare, drones and stand-off munitions eviscerating clueless people. That's what war is about.

IDK what your point is. NATO being revitalized is not a "good thing" that makes us live nicer. NATO and rearmament is a fever, Russian imperialism is the sickness.

NATO is not an economic alliance, it's a military one. The sole goal of NATO is keeping Russian soldiers outside NATO members' territories. And as someone whose home country has suffered immensely under Russian occupation, seeing Russia draw troops down from the Finnish border right after they joined the alliance makes me happy that we are NATO members.

Europe wouldn't be doing better outside NATO, it has no bearing on economics. Trade disruption with Russia certainly has to do with it, but ironically that's because during the 00s and the 10s Europe extended a friendly hand to Russia, and got into deep trading entanglements with it, which Russia tried to exploit to force geopolitical concessions.

The attitude toward wars displayed by countries that have never in living memory fought one on their own soil is frankly terrifying in its stupidity, though.

I've perceived that things have never been better for American international order than under Trump/Biden.

The last few cycles have been a weird time for NATO, as the escalating Russian aggression revitalised the alliance, but the unreliability of Trump vastly diminished the status of the US. Europe is now actively trying to get out of the military subordinate role.

So that means that since bacteria and the like outnumber us by orders of magnitude, statistically speaking, multicellular life would be wiped out completely.

Could they get out of kids pants and get to fixing the country?
