  1. I am pretty sure that Ukraine will not able to join as long as Hungary is member Two big misunderstandings about of European green parties are that they are left wing and that they support green energy. As members of Greens are mostly urban capitalists, and their membership has higher percentage of private entrepreneurs than your typical economic conservative right wing parties. They also usually don't oppose fossil fuels even though they say that prefer renewable energy, but they are anti nuclear energy in their core, as protesting against nuclear energy was the thing that created 'green' movement . As urban citizen they understandably are more interested of mass transits than private motoring. Liberal societal views and refugee issues have made green parties become closer with modern left wing parties, even though their views of economy don't match, because their traditional right wing allies have started to take much more conservative stances.
  2. USA has those hundreds of billions of Russian money they froze to give Ukraine
  3. Technically all Russian soldiers in Ukraine are terrorists/murderers/other form criminals who aren't protected by any laws governing soldiers in war. EDIT: But because most of world considers it as war they would be treated like they are soldiers in international courts and get protection from most acts that are done because they were commanded to do what they have done
  4. Twitter is so easy way to spread propaganda with only very few ever to check facts
  5. If you are foreign mercenary you are most likely treated better as Russia will more likely use you in their propaganda
  6. They use two phase election, in first phase there can be any number of candidates and if no one gets over 50% of vote then there will be second election where people vote between top 2 from first vote.
  7. Sadly they aren't jokes. Carbon credits were meant to be capitalistic way to steer companies to greener tech, but ability to buy credits from less developed countries is lead to situation where they just increase total emissions, because companies get credits so cheap that they don't have any incentive the switch greener techs and seller country uses money to support industry that uses fossil energy
  8. It is quite regular, which is why Finland rises Baltic Air space safety issue every time they have meeting with Russia, USA or NATO. It is just not seen as issue by anyone else, except when they use it in their propaganda.
  9. They do it for Finland's Estonia's, Latvia's Germany's, passenger planes every month.
  10. Isn't that normal in Baltic sea area, both Russian and Nato military planes are constantly flying close by of civilian planes and violating air spaces of countries where they don't have authorization of flying. And they also often fly their transponders turned off so that civilian planes have hard time to detect them. Such has been norm in that area over 20 years now.
  11. SS units were part of deal to get arms from Germany
  12. Finland almost added 50% to territory in beginning of Continuation War. But mainly Finnish forces stopped to Finnish borders before 1939. One of main reason why Finland didn't continue to Leningrad and didn't destroy railways that supplied sieged Leningrad was that UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand declared war to Finland and USA started to supply USSR and threatened to declare war to Finland if Finland doesn't stop it attack against USSR. Which lead to Finland to move defend its territory.
  13. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/04/world/europe/bucha-ukraine-bodies.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes It seems that Russians for some reason let Ukraine/US framing/decor teams to set up scenes of civilian massacre weeks beforehand as it is seen in satellite images that shows the prop bodies on Bucha's streets for weeks (appeared in images between 9th to 11th of March)
  14. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/02/ukrainian-children-used-as-human-shields-near-kyiv-say-witness-reports Ukraine accuses Russian using very terrorist like tactics
  15. Scheme is that buyers pay to Gazprombank , which then exchanges euros/dollars to rubles and puts them for buyer's ruble account where the payment is forwarder to seller (so usually Gazprom). Idea is that because contract prices are in euros/dollars, then if rubles value crashes during payment process which can take over week, buyers need to pay more. EDIT: which is probably unacceptable for Germany and France at least, so there is quite big possibility that they stop buying gas from Russia tomorrow.
  16. Although they actually demand that buyers pay with euros and dollars to Gazprombank which then uses that money to buy rubles.
  17. At least Kh-15, Kh-55 and Kh-59 are lighter Soviet/Russian air to surface missiles that have tactical nuclear warhead version
  18. You should read how it was quite different level on Soviet army
  19. Russian are reportedly using Soviet era strategy against civilian women https://www.itv.com/news/2022-03-29/itv-news-hears-allegations-of-russian-troops-filming-rape-of-15-year-old-girl https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/27/russian-soldiers-raping-and-sexually-assaulting-women-says-ukraine-mp It is designed to carry nuclear weapons during war time https://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.php?aircraft_id=194
  20. I would say that in that case 5 years from first case seem bit harsh
  21. Do you know what were sentences in this case? https://www.news24.com/fin24/Companies/Financial-Services/hawks-nab-ex-sars-auditors-for-tax-fraud-worth-over-r320-million-20210511
  22. https://meduza.io/en/feature/2022/03/30/refusing-to-kill-people-isn-t-a-crime Although I am not sure if even Russian own laws matter in this case
  23. Russian central bank support ruble with heavy buy outs and Russian companies are forced to changes their foreign money to rubles. And trading of ruble is restricted. So ruble is currently full of air
  24. These both can be true Russian soldiers in front line may have running out of arms and supplies where they have plenty missiles and artillery shells
