4·14 days agoSpain is going to wait for FCAS which it is part of but I don’t know if the navy can wait that long
It looks fucking weak and pathetic and the UE should have stood its ground, but apparently it’s the same as with the Japan deal. The investments are just smoke, no money allocated, no dates, etc. Just an empty gesture to appease MAGAts Still, pathetic and VdL should be sacked.
102·26 days agoAs I said, they’re not in power here, but you’ve got a pedophile fascist there. What are you doing exactly about it?
The far right is a minority in the European Parliament. Von der Leyen could be better but she’s not Trump. We voted and are struggling but at least we’re holding the line. How is it going for you?
Ah alright. Got you
Yes, more than 25% are not Jewish
It says Israeli, no religion was mentioned.
The hypocrisy of the Netherlands talking about fiscal resposability while having siphoned off the taxes from most of the continent is something else

He said linux, not gnu/linux
I can’t wait for the bubble to pop.
Read the agreement. It wasn’t mandatory
Income tax is one thing, social security is another and the taxes your employer pays as business are another. You’re just conflating them all. Some countries have lower social security contributions but have no universal health insurance or you just have to pay out of pocket or it’s tied to your work, etc. It’s not apples to apples
Taxes I agree. They are proportionately larger than in most of the EU, and services worse.
They are actually below average
Services, I guess that’s more a matter of opinion, but having lived in Germany, UK and the US, I think they’re OK
Nobody knows, the new agreement hasn’t been published yet (or at least I can’t find it on the NATO website). What’s on the NATO website is the previous one and the wording is intentionally very vague, as usual in these kinds of treaties so that everyone can keep doing their thing:
Allies whose current proportion of GDP spent on defence is below this level will:
- aim to move towards the 2% guideline within a decade with a view to meeting their NATO Capability Targets and filling NATO’s capability shortfalls. (emphasis mine)
mandatory to spend 2%,
It wasn’t mandatory
What will Ratte call him now to appease him? Will master do the trick?
English just needs a new orthography. Languages change in many ways, and phonetic drift is natural, it’s just that there hasn’t been a spelling reform to accommodate them, and at this point it’s gotten out of hand.
