This would be the right time for those congressmen including Republicans who support Ukraine to remove Trump from office for treason.

Yeah, he is one of the brainier people in the the Trump admin, but unfortunately his one and only principle is his own career

He just yielded a mile on sanctions, as this Financial Times article shows:

It is because of this sanctions issue that his, and France's commitment is being questioned, and that is why he is now making statements like this.
What a phoney.

And what makes it even more enraging is that both Mélenchon's leftist party and the Nazis in France would help Russia, so a reasonable French voter doesn't seem to have a lot of options

Or at least have some concept of strategic industries where this can’t just happen without the government having looked into the implications. Industries like energy, arms and cloud.

I struggle to understand how Republican congressmen can make this decision to override their “leadership” when he wants to aid and abet the enemy, but not decide to get rid of him for aiding and abetting the enemy

One consequence of Russia invading Ukraine is that Finland and Sweden joined Nato. Finland has a 1,340 km border with Russia, so Putin has not created a "bigger buffer" - he has managed to double Russia's border with Nato. Also, the countries you label as unfriendly are peaceful countries who are only 'unfriendly' to Russia because they worry about Russian imperialist expansion, and Russia's aggression habit.

This is just defeatism. Not all politicians are corrupt. And even corrupt ones also have to respond to other kinds of pressures, if those are strong enough. Defeatism is what makes democracy die.

You view this entirely from the perspective of sport? It's not about sport it is about human rights.

I'm not sure how Scaled is determined, but as far as I know, it is made for what you want

Add Tesla, Starlink & Oracle

Yes a tankie propaganda site. You would need to read an evidence based publication to decide if she deserves the prize or not

What a despicable thing to say. The Greens should have elected Hanson-Young.

Edit: Just saw this in the comments of the SMH article: "Sounds like something Trump/Vance would say threateningly to Zelensky"

After reading this, I looked for Henna Virkkunen on Mastadon, and yes - she joined 2 weeks ago: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@HennaVirkkunen. Has 3.6K followers already.

Seriously?
A lot of small communities are small because they are niche or because they are new

Interesting comparison, but how many of the original car companies are still around today? And did those early car companies inflate and manipulate the stock market?- they probably weren’t even publicly traded in the early days.

I think a crash is on its way regardless of how successful AI will be decades into the future

From the amount of power he wields you would think he is some evil genius. But it seems he is more a psychopathic idiot. I say idiot because of the religious thing and also because he works on the destruction of the same liberal democracy that he benefits from.

As time passed, and History got devalued as a subject in favour of technology subjects, I guess it was always inevitable that people would lose awareness of what Fascism is, and why it should not be allowed to return.

It is amazing how the tankies are cuddling up to the fascists in support of Russian imperialism

This is good, but I wish projects like this, and Europe in general would look wider than Europe. There are many in the rest of the world and Americans too, who are aching to be freed from anti-democratic, unregulated oligarchic big tech.

Edit: A WSP (World Search Perspective), started and owned by Europeans, could aim to index everything, and be real competition to Google and Bing. There isn’t any real prospect that every country or region could do this for themselves.

Denmark has every right to protect their kids from becoming the property of US tech companies. And if this means they end up never joining Facebook/ X, etc, then it is a victory against the MAGA & fascist attitudes that those companies spread. People should not be so concerned when a state takes action against companies. When the US broke up Standard Oil it did everyone a whole heap of good. If other countries follow suit with a social media ban for under-15s I think it could be similarly transformative.

Yes, it potentially creates challenges around privacy, but for a law like this to have its intended effect doesn't entirely depend as much on age verification as people think.

The thing with a law is that its transformative effect works over a long period of time. For example, on the day when this takes effect, a heap of kids will still find a way to use these social media sites. But in a couple of years, kids won't want to, because their friends are not on there. This happens, because a few years, and perhaps a few test cases later, society as a whole deems it wrong and illegal for a kid to be on social media.
