Russia has been doing that on eastern and northern europe countries several times per year, even against “friendly” countries like pre-NATO Finland. And before that, they did it as Soviet Union.
But of course the current US administration holds those scumbags as role models.


They’re not fining Musk. They’re fining X/Twitter.


That doesn’t fill me with amazing confidence.


Damn, and here I thought I didn’t already have great reasons to be fiercely pro-EU.
Thanks, Elon!
Also note that Dimitry Medvedev, the great Russian clown / mouth of Sauron, replied “Exactly” to this.

Also Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, replied with similar sentiments.


This sounds like an entirely good thing! Good job EU!


I watched that part. Putin visibly flinches when he realizes what he said and then for the following few sentences tries to lighten the message down. It’s kinda fun to see him that weak in front a microphone.
He’s so not ready for a war with Europe that he cannot even lie about it.
But headline creators don’t give a fuck about that of course.

She’s right. I’m sure Lemmy users will be happy to learn this and will in the future look at online content with a more critical and discerning eye.

Meanwhile USA is fully prepared to comfort Russia.


I don’t think it actually does claim that.


That is true, Taiwan is the real China. But I don’t think we were arguing about names of countries here.


Yeah, and also that one (at least the latest escalation) happened after Russia normalized it. Also a possibility that Russia made it happen to make people get distracted from Ukraine.


So you mean it’s exactly like China and Taiwan?


Perhaps go with the original.
Russia illegally annexes Crimea.


Well, this is the new world order now. This is what Russia drove the world into: it’s now ok for larger countries to just annex (parts of) smaller countries.
If other nations don’t like it, just hang on to it until enough people forget that you didn’t own it in the first place.


I’m somewhat interested in what’s coming up from Kärcher. Being a company based in Germany, EU, I’m stupidly hoping that EU data protection laws prevent them from doing the shittiest things.
Like many, I thought for a microsecond that they actually brought out a new phone model that will fit in a pocket.
But no, of course they didn’t. Because why the fuck would anyone want that.
That’s better than what he did in Ukraine though.
