They can try to take over any remaining private EU firm assets there which I fully welcome. To reduce the chances that any greedy Western corporation decides that investing #NaziRussia is a good idea.

Wouldn’t the logic be that with nowhere to use newly produced missiles Russian stockpile would grow even faster? Hard to see this as an argument. Missile stockpile threat is a separate issue that “peace” will not resolve, but scaling up missile production in Ukraine and EU actually might.

I agree, German Greens were the coolest greens in Europe. Not being well versed in German politics, I was baffled by pre-election bashing and demonizing they got from CDU. From outside, they seem to be more logical partners than SPD.

When I tried to understand x transparency policies, it was soon clear that there is zero transparency. Even the view numbers can be made up and nobody independent will be able to verify them. X apparently does not even allow audits by advertisers into their figures.

I wonder how much of X activity is actually genuine. When I used to be there, by the end it seemed that most of activity in accounts and posts I was interested in was generated artificially.

Why is it typically assumed that it can get worse for Ukraine, but not for Russia? Doesn’t it depend on the level of support Ukraine gets from allies?

Why is Bulgarian warehouse at basically the same location is punished with 20% tax while Turkish warehouse can ship the same brush to a customer in Spain (EU) with 0% tax? No convenience advantage for Bulgarians here.

Another example then. There are two identical mail order warehouses next to each other selling identical plastic Chinese toilet brush. The only difference - one is in Bulgaria (EU), another is 20 meters away across the border line in Turkey (not EU).
