And if that happens (which it hopefully will), then 3D printed guns played a not so insignificant role in the liberation of people from a tyrannical regime. JStark is smiling in heaven probably right now.
@yanisvaroufakis
Would be quite something, if you participated anyways via Zoom and then they tried to extradite you from Greece to Germany to face ‘justice’ for having your own opinions. I’d actually say go for it and take it all the way with legal representation to even the European courts.
@YourFellowArab
Strong Logan Paul vibes there man. You literally took a selfie in one of the holiest places in Hinduism where people are being cremated and you take that same picture to talk about India being dirty.
@Bundeskanzler
Das Problem in Deutschland ist nicht, dass die Menschen zu schlecht bezahlt werden. Das Problem ist, dass wir einen gierigen Staat haben, der die arbeitenden Menschen mit zu hohen Steuern und Sozialabgaben belastet. Es wird Zeit, dass der deutsche Staat auf Diät geht.
@gothgirl_prelaw
No sane person argues that Versailles was responsible for WW2. What in fact most people argue is that Versailles significantly contributed towards creating the conditions in which the Nazis could thrive and ultimately come to power. In an alternative universe it would have
@Hanasaku_Yuri
What if both is true? The UAE is a state that engages in many abhorrent practices, but at the same time, it also provides solid living standards and does not burden its citizens with excessive taxation.

Von Polizeibeamten wird erwartet, dass sie außerhalb der Dienstzeiten eingreifen, wenn ein Verbrechen geschieht. Es ist nicht gerade toll, von Polizeibeamten zu erwarten, dass sie ihr Leben riskieren, ohne sich vor tödlicher Gewalt schützen zu können.
@Babygravy9
Not sure why you so mad about this? It is actually kind of funny and good on her for engaging with the culture of her new home (everyone can become an American after all) And yes, the Union winning was a good thing and should be celebrated. Not idea why people simp for the
@_amroali
I am simply baffled that so many people that over the years said nothing about the highly problematic situation in Germany regarding civil and fundamental rights are now screaming about it.
I know it was funny when the state used its powers against extremists and conspiracy
@disclosetv
Saying this is going to backfire for the EU Commission is putting it mildly. This could literally change the course of the upcoming European election. Absolute and complete blunder. Would love to know who came up with that plan and thought it would be a good idea.
@Indian_Bronson
The majority of HR and People Ops is not just useless, but a complete scam. The only group that I would like to cull more than HR folk is Admin people.
@SeloSlav
I think there is certainly something to be said that one reason why this sort of cringe is so prevalent in some sectors is because there is a gender imbalance in the workforce of those sectors (significantly more women than men). Even in the videos there are barely any dudes
@AyishaMuhamad
As a Muslim, I’d like to say hell nah. No thank you. It’s thanks to Wahhabis and terrible takes such as this that many of us get fondled at airports. Sunnis need to finally wake up and move on from this garbage. Islam is a religion that can perfectly fit into our modern world, if

@LeadingReport
I think in general there should be both age and term limits on politicians in Western democracies. In many countries parliaments are starting to look like retirement homes.
@Krstorevic
Ah ja. Der libertäre Präsident von Argentinien ist jetzt autoritär. Natürlich kann so ein Unsinn nur von einem europäischen Politiker kommen.
@CharlesMichel
In the light of recent events, can we finally start talking about building an effective and credible European nuclear deterrent? Not only would this finally give us some serious strategic autonomy, it would also give us the hard power we need to stop having panic attacks every

Hören Sie einfach auf, alles zu dulden, was Israel tut, und machen Sie deutlich, dass auch wir rote Linien haben und nicht nur die USA. Aber dazu scheint Ihnen der Mut zu fehlen.
@manaf12hassan
Ehrlich gesagt habe ich aufgegeben, Deutschland und alle Deutschen haben es verdient. Im Moment genieße ich es einfach, das Ganze aus sicherer Entfernung im Ausland mit großer Schadenfreude zu beobachten.
@derJamesJackson
Germany doing Germany things. Honestly, people should just begin chanting slogans against North Korea as a substitute for anything that could be seen as ‘anti-semitic’ just for the memes and shit and giggles when Germany’s police finally catches on and begins arresting people
@EHunterChristie
You know what would make all these concerns irrelevant and endless debates redundant? A effective European nuclear deterrent. It could be accomplished at a far greater speed than getting our European militaries up to speed for a potential ‘WW3’ scenario and we would not have to
@drhannahryan
Because there is no such thing as a pro-Palestine lobby with deep pockets that provides campaign contributions in abundance. That’s literally the answer.
It turns out that not only the World Economic Forum, but also the Munich Security Conference (MSC) has decided to discuss and feature disinformation as a 'threat' this year. According to the MSC Report 2024, the perception of the disinformation as a threat has also increased.
@Bundeskanzler
Freiheit des Wortes lol? Das muss ein schlechter Scherz sein, wenn sowas von dem Kanzler des Landes kommt, das die schlechteste Bilanz in Sachen Meinungsfreiheit aufweist.
@disclosetv
The life sentence probably will never be used, but I am certain some people will get a longer sentence for ‘speech crimes’ than committing assault or doing a home invasion.

@BardnanGael
Yeah obviously duh. But, as someone that lived in Egypt for several years and knows better I am very well aware that Cairo is not a gigantic slum. That’s like me saying the entirety of LA is like the area around skid row lol.
@xruiztru
Germany is a very interesting one and for good reasons. I and many others have been saying for years that the whole system there is designed to prevent socio-economic mobility for the middle class. Nobody is really poor, but high taxes and social contributions ensure that there
@surplustakes
Bad take. A lot of people do much better at university than during high school. This is also why in other countries in Europe they do not even have such entry requirements. All you need is to pass high school and then you can enrol, but if you do not acquire in your first year
@Duderichy
Going into management consulting and investment banking without a clear exist strategy (even if you want to try your luck of making VP, managing director or whatever) is insane. Statistically you’ll probably never make it past one or two promotions and if you plan ahead you can
@PaulSkallas
Interesting. I get anxious when I do not feel my phone, wallet, and keys in my front pockets. It’s a way for me to know that I did not forget or lose them.
@berlin_bridge
We should finally discuss an effective nuclear deterrent for Europe. Sure we can and perhaps also should boost conventional defence and spending arms production. However, ultimately in order to truly achieve strategic autonomy and hard power for the EU as a whole we need an
@Mr_Andrew_Fox
The chicken or the egg dilemma. One of the reasons why there are so many anti-Israel actors is because there is still no Palestinian state after so many years. Israel would be far better off in every way if it finally proceeding with the two state solution, but the truth is the
@alexrecouso
I was unable to find any sources online reporting on this. Not a big fan of the Canadian government myself, but this is kinda spreading like wildfire. So, could you either share your source or at least add a disclaimer (if not outright delete this post)?
@fath0039
Nah it's cool. In fact, it has always been cool. But just because it's cool doesn't mean it's a good thing. War has always been glorified throughout history, and seen as awesome by many, especially those who have not experienced its consequences first hand. After all, there is no

The Wish dotcom version of Andrew Tate. At least the real Andrew Tate is able to properly articulate a coherent sentence on camera. 😂
@SarahTheHaider
Not much would have changed. Even for Japan, this might have been the case, as not so long ago some even suggested that it was perhaps not the atomic bomb that forced Japan to surrender, but the prospect of Russian involvement.
@OAlexanderDK
Another interesting twist would indeed be if one of the participants in the call actually recorded it and passed it on to Russian intelligence. There have been a number of cases in recent history of German officials working for and/or passing on confidential information to
@_JakubJanda
Assuming for a moment the United States withdraws from NATO and Russia is actively considering an invasion of the European Union there is one relatively easy way around it all that eveybody ignores. This would be to arm more European states with its own nukes and/or creating a
@MarmotRespecter
Refuse to believe such stories are real, but even if, I think the guy got pretty good grounds for annulment (but if it’s real I doubt he’d be willing to save himself trouble and go through with it).
@Mr_Andrew_Fox
I appreciate the answer, but with all due respect, this is nonsense.
Israel, by preventing the creation of a Palestinian state, has deprived itself of forging close ties with many willing regional partners who would welcome it into the anti-Iran alliance. The truth is that
@PaulSkallas
Not all Egyptian movies are crap, but yeah having lived in Egypt for a long time, I can at least agree that Egyptian culture is quite unique when compared to its neighbours.

Thanks. There are many of us, but many unfortunately choose not to speak out as usually almost immediately the outrage mob comes out when one speaks out of line.
@SwiftOnSecurity
It’s more of an American thing. American society is just more violent. Gun ownership is pretty widespread in many EU and non-EU countries, including countries where you can conceal carry (such as Slovakia, Czech Republic, and the Baltics). It’s a serious issue that debates around
@mualphaxi
She literally has one MA in IR and the rest of her education is in education and teaching (which she acquired after her MA in IR). She is literally a qualified teacher. Don't get me wrong, people can certainly be experts on subjects that they don't have a degree in, but in this
@cyb3rops
@SwiftOnSecurity
No one is armed? Yeah not in Germany, but you clearly haven’t been to Slovakia, Czech Republic, and the Baltics. Private gun ownership for self-defence, including being able to conceal carry is widespread there and pretty accessible. Europe is just not a violent society, unlike
@EylonALevy
My man just take the L. If anything this shows the IDF has failed and Hamas simply cannot be defeated militarily. If you actually cared you'd be posting about the need for a political solution for Gaza so all of this can already end for everyone's sake.
@Bundeskanzler
Der Polizist verdient unseren Respekt, weil er in einer gefährlichen Situation ohne zu zögern sein Leben geopfert hat. Das ist mutig. Aber was Sie hier sagen, ist völliger Unsinn.
Das eigentliche Problem in Deutschland ist, dass wir kein Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung haben.
@Osint613
It’s literally the Egyptian military facilitating this service. Know personally people who paid 30-50k per person to get their family members out and none of them were affiliated with any groups in Gaza. It is basically a VIP ticket out of Gaza for anyone that can put together
@RealDacianDraco
About time. However, I really am not a fan of the lack of reciprocity from the US when it comes to Europeans and visas. Americans can acquire work visas for Europe with relative ease, while yeah good luck to any European trying to get H1 visa. We should make Americans jump
@dieworkwear
‘Nuclear disarmament education’ - LOL. You know people wouldn’t be calling out her ‘expertise,’ if people simply did not refer to her as an ‘expert.’ If others and she herself referred to herself for example as ‘knowledgeable’ or ‘passionate about,’ then sure okay no problem. But

@EHunterChristie
Only France is in the EU and its nuclear capabilities are too limited to serve for the collective security of the whole bloc, and this is assuming France could even be relied upon in a moment of crisis to use them for say Estonia. So, no the EU does not have an effective and
