This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 71%. (I'm a bot)
> French President Emmanuel Macron shunned parliament and opted to push through a highly unpopular bill that would raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 by triggering a special constitutional power on Thursday.
> The decision was made just a few minutes before the vote was scheduled, because the government had no guarantee that the bill would command a majority at the National Assembly, France's lower house of parliament.
> As lawmakers gathered in the National Assembly Thursday to vote on the bill, the leftist members of parliament broke into the Marseillaise, the French national anthem, preventing Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne from speaking and prompting the speaker to suspend the session.

I wonder what the penalty is for a shipping company found to be dumping pure gasoline/fuel into the Black Sea is?

I think russia just wanted to scare them away... ...but they forgot their own incompetence and accidently downed an enemy drone in the process. I believe this incident created more trouble for russia than it did good, so I doubt It was intentional. It solidifies USAs stance, which is pretty bad for them in comparison to the intel that was prevented. Only a dumb leader could make a decision like this... ...but on the other hand, here we are. Ah man, I dont know.

It's more overt than that. Russia is openly justifying this aggression by saying that NATO "isn't allowed" to expand beyond prior countries.
It's breaking up with someone and saying that they're not allowed to date other people, and you'll beat them if they do.

I mean you can't deny that it's far more prevalent in western media than it is in the real world.

It's my impression that the governments in the Baltic states would be better equipped to handle attempts at meddling in their internal affairs, is that the case though?

Reply to comment by Yelmel in Russians tighten noose on Ukraine's Bakhmut, Putin warns of Western espionage by redcccp
Bakhmut is in a dire situation and no amount of propaganda bullshit will change that. Stop pretending like it's a walk in the park for Ukrainian forces in the city, not least because it's an absolute insult to the men and women fighting there right now.
As for a war of attrition, you better hope that isn't Ukraine's goal because right now casualties are approximately 1:1 and Ukraine doesn't have much in the way of potential operational reserves so long as they're facing a three front war.
This isn't being "pro-Russian" or "pro-Putin", it's being realistic: Long term, the situation does not favour Ukraine. Which is why we need to step up arms deliveries by the end of the spring, so they can try and reduce the total frontage exposed to Russian forces.

If he had just used his special power to build a fence at a southern boarder, then people would be creating a golden idol of him and actually bowing to it at conventions.
