I have no English sources on hand, but there have been multiple parcels found across Europe that contained firebombs. In one case, the bomb didn’t go off mid-flight because the flight was delayed.

The heads of German intelligence agencies had their annual public hearing recently, making it very clear that Russia considers Germany an enemy. As far as I can tell, the response by our senior political figures has been deafening silence and inaction.

So Putin is not stupid at all. He is just counting on the continued indecisiveness of most western leaders.

During university I gave additional lessons for lower semesters and at times had to juggle three languages: Java, Typescript and plain JavaScript for that one professor who thought TS sucks.

Coding on the spot got really messy at times.

Smoking accidents can happen everywhere! Only YOU can prevent forest fires!

Which alternatives do you recommend?

inb4 Russian state media headline “Ukraine running out of troops. Hiring mercenaries! In other news: Don’t bother about the weirdly speaking comrades from Vladivostok!”

NATO maintains that it is a defensive alliance. If NATO starts adding countries Russia is currently at war with, it becomes an offensive alliance.

I don’t think so. Ukraine is in a defensive war. Actively joining their side doesn’t turn it into an offensive one. The difference between offensive and defensive conflicts is the goal: In an offensive, you want to gain something. In a defence, it is about keeping what you have. Just because NATO would come to their aid, Ukraine wouldn’t want to conquer Russia.

That being said, why wasn’t Ukraine added earlier?

Multiple reasons probably:

• Ukraine was and to some extent still is a post-soviet state: Oligarchs, corruption and all that comes with it.
• There was the Budapest Memorandum in place which guaranteed a sovereign Ukrainian state affectively as buffer between Russia and other NATO countries. Which was subsequently broken by Russia in 2014.
• “Don’t anger the Russians”. See where this got us?

Well, that’d be the point of Ukraine joining NATO currently.

Yes, exactly that.

The EU had no credibility when it comes to migration to begin with. Frontex has been complicit in all sorts of controversies.

TBF, there are some farmers being charged. But yes, it’s definitely not to the same extent as climate protesters.

highly controversial figure in Germany

Understatement of the year. Courts have repeatedly ruled that calling him fascist and Nazi is a factual statement. He has been sentenced multiple times for using Nazi rhetoric and symbols.

His local chapter of the AFD party has been labeled “assuredly right-wing extremist” by the Verfassungsschutz which again was upheld by court decision as well.

I guess I might as well argue with a stone instead of an American about universal moral values but here goes nothing:

Wait, did I just judge a person by their membership of a group they got randomly assigned at birth which says nothing about their character?

Anyways…

The suffering of one person is not justification to inflict the same on others. Secondly why are you refusing to help people through hardship in the first place.

Let me ask you in return: Why are neither deserving of your help?

Hell no, and I don’t care if that person is black, white, blue, has an American, French or Iraqi passport.

But you are trying to build a strawman here, because babysitting is not the same as granting people shelter from hardships.

And to loop back to your previous statements regarding the number of crimes committed by immigrants: Am I statistically more likely to get murdered by an immigrant or by a fellow country man? You might have to reconsider your approach towards high/low threat environments in your everyday life.

So you want to assign every immigrant a babysitter till they have been evaluated to be no risk?

While we are at it, might just as well give EVERYONE a government sponsored supervisor to be sure, because I’ve heard even some of those people already here rape, murder or commit other crimes. All in the name of the security of our state. I guess we should form some sort of ministry to supervise this effort. I guess Ministry for State Security might be fitting.

Do you even realize how contemptuous your idea is? I don’t know anything about you, but I guess to be sure you won’t kill me should you ever visit my city/county/state/planet, I will put you in a cage and point a camera at you.

I hope you keep your idea in mind should you plan to take your next vacation anywhere but your own apartment.

Neither does your response answer my question.

I asked why Zelenskyy SHOULD talk to Trump, not for reasons against it.

I am not sure what you are trying to tell with these numbers except to stir some hatred.

To make any sort of sense from these numbers, you have a) to define what an immigrant is (hint, the BKA definition is very loose) and b) compare them to the overall cases of the listed offenses.

This doesn’t answer my question.

In the current situation, Trump has no influence on decision-making in regard to Ukraine. Until he is possibly elected president, he is just an unnecessary security risk.

Why should he talk with Trump? He is an ordinary civilian.

A couple of years back, a graph made its way around the internet showing how much capital cities contributed to the GDP of their respective country. Berlin was the only capital with a negative impact.

AFAIK this has changed since then, but still …

The issue I see with Telegram is that they retain a certain control over the content on their platform, as they have blocked channels in the past. That’s unlike for example Signal, which only acts as a carrier for the encrypted data.

If they have control over what people are able to share via their platform, the relevant laws should apply, imho.
