Always prepared to influence the world - by arguments.

The people were not receptive, but if even Orban and his party has not learned from a prime election denier as Vance, how to disrespect the democratic process by calling the election for rigged, his whole mission seems to have been a failure. Seen in retrospect Orban had done better without help.

American humiliation of dead foreign troops and their families, who fought alongside American forces in Afghanistan after the US was attacked in 2001, is really emphazicing the path the US is on these years.

The EU should incorporate some kind of automatism, if basic democratic principles are being broken in memberstates. It´ll logically be a plausible scenario in many cases as the EU consists of still more countries, within which political forces might ignore the fundamentals.

People might care, but politicians are numb. There is room for many European countries to show, the outcome of the Ukraine war matters. Denmark has so far, size disregarded, given almost the same as Italy, Spain and France - combined.

Sport doesn´t necessarily unite people. Sport competitions, where some of the contestants have possibly killed some of their opponents, and destroyed others´ training facilities, has less than no value. Judo is one example. news.liga.net/en/sport/new...

Judokas from Russia are allowed to participate in world competitions under the flag of their country

Neutral status revoked for judokas from Russia and Belarus, Moscow calls the decision "historic"

Military means against suspected targets in international waters doesn´t align with the behaviour of normal functioning countries. That is as close to terrorism, we´ll ever get, as it might be whoever on board those vessels, who are being killed without a judicial foundation.

Nato and democratic nations in general need to redefine, what attacks looks like. The hybrid escalation from Russia or other terrorist groups can progress as far as forever, and have devastating consequenses, if it, as seen now, generates no response. Defensive means are not enough.

If the purpose of life can basically be to destroy, what other people have, and to possibly kill them, the Russians are probably the most successfull ethnic group of our era.

No wonder it´s difficult for Ukraine to defend the whole of Europe from a tyrant takeover. Russian support from China and from a number of Western companies, in countries dedicated to take the threat seriously by continuous oil and gas purchaces, make the fight tricky. b4ukraine.org/whats-new/ru...

2/3 of foreign components in Russian drones are made in the US, China is the main supplier

69% of the foreign components retrieved from the drones used by Russia in Ukraine originate from US companies

Farming should never be based on subsidies. The EU should focus its legislation on production methods, quality, ecological impact and animal welfare. Under this legislation consumers should pay the price for the products, and competition should define the lowest possible level.

World leaders should instead of speculations in new sanctions, assist Ukraine with technological knowhow in development of missiles powerfull enough to make an impact on the de-nazifiers. A closure of the Kerch bridge or a permanent destruction of oil refineries would make a real difference.

Ordinary Americans may be satisfied, if only the finances of the rich elite isn´t wrecked. And this elite has gathered around the Trumps, as never seen before - around other presidents.

Russia is an unsustainably run country, which probably will lead insiders to call for a regime change, as the flaws get apparent. People will face lack of maintenance, poor healthcare and educational degradation, that must somehow diminish the inherited inbuild desire for territory.

It might in Russia be told as an immense success, the safeguarding of the Syrian dictator #Assad. But the Syrians, well aware of him draining the states values, out of the country, could turn it into a long time issue for the de-nazifiers, that they chose to protect crime in favor of justice.

The annexation of Crimea, the invation of #Ukraine, the thousands of abducted children, the deliberate targeting of civilians, the blown dam and 10 mio displaced people. The West is still humbled to restrict its use of weapons, and reluctant to provide aid at all. The democracies has got to grow up.

The strategy of letting de-nazifiers go free of consequenses of the war, seems a failure. They are preparing for a permanent war outside of Russia, under threats of nuclear use. Such a long term perspective is not in the interrest of the democracies. The civilian lives should be affected.

A #Palestinian state without partition should be worked for, simultaneously with defeating the #Hamas terrorists. The physical state of Gaza now, should be an incitement to review its position. The Gaza population should be moved to the West bank, and the settlers should be

Minors can never be expected to return, as they might have been deprived of their own identity and recollections. But an archive should be opened for families in #UKR with lost children, to register their DNA profile. So UKR children in Russia with doubts at some point, could match their profiles.
