Nothing is going to improve till the ABH gets its shit together. It’s been a year since I applied and I’m still waiting for my PR (8.5 years as a legal immigrant in Germany) :/

Kazakhstan has really found their independence from Russia over the last year, you just love to see it.

lol, later returement is better for young people

>including digital surveillance tools

Great, now they can kill schoolgirls easier

Every democracy has faults , countries like USA operated and still does operate Guantanamo bay and CIA helped in coup of many governments in Latin America and still interfere in many places as well but nobody won't consider Usa undemocratic. Its democracy with flaws. Ranked as a flawed democracy by EIU as well.

One could make comparisons with Russia as well to bring into light of USA's latest faults in judiciary parts as well but that comparison would be illogical as well.

Full fledged democratic countries like Finland has less humans rights problems and freedom of press is really good so Finnish people will see these problems as major downward trends or make comparisons with Russia even though Russia has glint for a few years after being communist and a monarchy for like a few hundred years. That's not an apt comparison and closer to slippery slope fallacy.

Small threats in grand of scheme , these aren't gonna do anything major. I concede on using the word small threats I should have just threats but you should too concede on comparisons with Russia. That would be fair.

So you’re saying you would steal but you still think the highest moral ground in this situation is someone just accepting they can’t get food at the moment and starving?

IMO someone stealing isn’t great but it’s way better than someone dying, especially if it’s from starvation, a problem we could solve pretty easily if we wanted.

The bigger issue here is that someone needs to steal to not die. We should be condemning the cause of these issues much harsher than the symptoms.

Italy's judicial system is that of a failed state. The country sent geologists to jail for failing to predict an earthquake, among other failures.

There we are agreement I am really struggling to understand why human rights and freedom of press etc. are "small threats" instead of the foundation for democracy. To me when they are abused democracy is under threat and I cannot fathom why anyone would think otherwise. What is a democracy where freedom of press is non-existent and violations of human rights are abundant ?

He's pivoting to Pause til he can have a police force capable of crushing the protests.

Okay so you don’t have any reference for the first claim, so you just make a second one, the statistic of 80% is a vast exaggeration it’s close to 50% (I’m sure you’re just ignorant though and wouldn’t need to actually lie to support your point).

Btw this article is still about migrants, even if you desperately want to talk about refugee issues, it has very little to do with this law.

Needs to be withdrawn. The delay is just for them to get a better handle on the security challenges now that they know this will be massively unpopular and cause huge protests and strikes

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 78%. (I'm a bot)

> Russia is supplying Iran with cyber weapons, including digital surveillance tools, in order to get the relatively cheap and effective drones it uses to strike Ukrainian infrastructure facilities.

> According to The Wall Street Journal, the key supplier of cyber services to Iran is the Russian company PROTEI, which has contracts with the Russian Defence Ministry.

> Since the summer of 2022, Russia has been using Iranian-made Shahed drones in Ukraine, which it claims are Russian drones called Geran.

Oh, 1000% but that also goes for a lot of groups, you know? I wouldn’t call the cops for basically any reason unless I was fully comfortable with people dying, myself very much included. Unfortunately, that’s in issue in blue states as well.

Oh yeah. She's phenomenal. I highly recommend "A man's place" as a short and quick intro to her work and "The happenning" for a very personal story (note: all her books are personal) on abortion. "The years" is supposed to be her magnum opus, but I haven't read it yet.

I am not ignoring anything I just said replied with my perspective of what constitutes as big threat and small threat. Crisis makes threats big.

Glint of democracy in 90s Russia is different from 70+ years of democracy. Russia is not a good cautionary tale but let's agree to disagree.

I agree , EIU ties India and Poland at 46th which is pretty bad. You're not getting what I am saying , I am saying that there is not much of trend , if you say there is threats that I agree with but threats which is gonna make drastic changes or moves that I disagree. Hope that clears it up.

He needs to step down!

Literally the opposite. Pensions are a transfer of wealth directly from the youth to the elderly. This change benefits young people by reforming an unsustainable system and is actually good policy. Unfortunately benefit reform is politically toxic in a democracy and most people don’t care to understand the nuances of it.

About 80% of the "refugees" flooding across the German border in 2015/2016 and ever since claim they "have lost their papers, documents and ID" but strangely none of them have lost their cellphone. Anybody with an IQ above room temperature can see how we are being played for weak, gullible fools.

We don't ship criminals to Rwanda, so that's not really a good comparison either. We need a coherent policy, not Tory wank or Labour wank.

It fits the legal definition of genocide. Has since March 2022.

So we are going to just ignore the "small threats" part ? Nice.

Who is saying that India is going to collapse rapidly, not me for sure. Russia is authoritarian but there was glint of democracy sometime late 90s, took them 20+ years to descend to what it is now. India by no means is there yet, but Russia is a cautionary tale what can happen when the democratic values are ignored. The war in Ukraine did not make Russia authoritarian rather the exact opposite, because of it Putin was able to start the invasion.

Again you cannot have stable democracy with the human rights and freedom of press violated, that is also part of the reason why EIU lists India also as flawed democracy.

That would be nice

What about them? Is this a statistical meaningful share?
