Unfortunately Orban can … and he was just paid off (10 billion euros) to leave the room when they voted to start accession talks with ukraine

This is a defect within the EU because the creators of the EU actually thought that all their countries would stay democratic …

That’s a well known kbin bug - sometimes random images are selected (even porn)

Correct with the caveat that the Polish truckers have to comply with the EU regulations (laws designed to make sure drivers aren’t forced to drive 12 hours straight and their trucks are not falling apart) while the Ukrainian ones don’t.

That is simply not true. If you drive through a country you have to adhere to that countries standards, no matter where you or your truck are from.

This means that every member state effectively has a veto it can use to block core EU policy, like sending billions of euros to a war-torn country or letting a country into the club.

Yeah, it is not like a single Senator like Manchin could influence the policies of the whole Biden administration. The US is immune to renegade politicians.

It is a label that is applied to a small group of democrats only, as far as I understand.

Ich war relativ schnell davon überzeugt dass „AfD“ eben NICHT die Abkürzung für „Alternative für Deutschland“ steht…

Dort wird geschrieben, dass der Beschluss gefasst wurde als Orban nicht im Raum war… Haben sie also einen Trick angewendet während Orban pinkeln war?

Yes, it is visible to me - I am on kbin though

I guess having so many years Orban in power does leave its mark.

You think that Orban ruled in Poland?

Wow.

I would avoid Aljazeera as a source since it hasn’t the best credibility. There are enough other news outlets talking about this.

Yeah, that is true. In Germany for example the far right AFD and the, soon to be, far right (Geert Wilders Style) BSW / Bündnis Sarah Wagenknecht, have solid 30%+ of the votes in Germany, if the polls hold true.

The only positive thing I see going for Europe is, that we are not yet (!) as fucked as the US, because most of the time the politicians still actually discuss and are willing to work towards a solution. That behavior is deteriorating in my opinion though.
