The maga world is against Ukraine already so its not that far off.
I believe the advantage of the parliament electing the government is that it there aren't situations like in the USA in which the government is almost unable to act because they are held hostage by the senate. So over here the opposition leader more of a sparrings partner for the government. I think this is actually quite an interesting role if you interpret it in a constructive manner and increase pressure on the government where you truly believe something is going wrong. Unfortunately, in practice most minority leaders interpret it in a very opportunistic way in which you criticize everything the government does to position yourself for the next election. As expected, Merz took it to another level by visiting Kyev. Hugely annoying.The UI on the drone says altitude is 150m so a little bit higher but still pretty close to the soldiers, the electrical engines wont make much noise though so I think it would be hard to hear it even at that low altitude. This is assuming the tank has its engine shut down because standing next to a tank with its engine running it would be impossible to hear it.
We haven’t given the 40 billion yet, it’s held up by one senator.
Yep, one of the quirks of our exceptional system.
And we can look at in from another perspective, who did visit from German politicians? Sorted in order of protocollary rank:
It is close, but not there yet. For the record, the Wehrmacht had ages 18 through 45 for service eligibility.
It’s a 5 step process that involves auditing the country’s ability to join, officially changing the NATO treaty, the country’s legislature ratifying the change, etc. but considering how closely Sweden and Finland have been to NATO members for years, it could be done “in a couple of weeks” to “less than 4 months” to “about a year” - it just depends on who you ask.
That would be such welcome new except it’s the New York Post. Aka Fox Newspaper NY
but NATO rules are very clear that if Turkey say no that they can’t just be ignored. It’s really rather specific about it.
Nonetheless they should be convinced by other NATO members. Of course they can't be forced, you are right the rules are very clear.
That’s a good point, but why are Turkey saying no?
Sweden/Finland's opposition to Turkey and their support for Kurds.
I'm ineligible for conscription even during the war time, thankfully (that's as of today, who knows what laws they're going to change next).
Thankfully your version of gestapo is not that efficient compared to the original.
I imagine they're a former soldier eligible for recall. British soldiers used to be open to recall up to 55, which seems terribly old to me.
