Kinda fits with gambling industry as a whole :(

Just make teachers pay for it, the same way they pay for other classrooms supplies /s

They do, Russification and destruction of other cultures is mainstay for centuries.

You just figured out why so many people look at free market and capitalism and see them as insane idea.

Congratulations comrade.

I live in UK and I agree, that the country is in decline. However moving to presidential system in which parliamentary elections are boycotted by almost 90% of population don't show almost any hope for democracy.

Don't get me wrong I really really hope that Tunisia, the whole region and for selfish reason UK, will turn it around, but it looks grim for next generation or two :(

1.4 billion dollars is nothing in budget for developing modern airplane. The amazingly well designed Turkish weapon systems are relatively cheap.

Sadly it does seem like the end, Tunisia was the only success story, they may yet recover but that would be quite hail Mary :(.

In terms of never, I disagree, but in foreseeable future you are probably right. The mix of history of distrusting external central authority which only legitimacy was strength, culture of tribalism and loyalty to in-groups instead of state identity as well as political Islam that makes compromise impossible as you can't really compromise with God.

All of those exist in other places as well, but all those exist there for now. I still hope for people of the region to buck those trends.

The Peru current president is legal one but unable to hold legitimacy. Elections are the only way to restore legitimacy.

You do have a good point there...

Russia is running out of ammunition was a logistic issue due to overextension and lack of preparation in push model of Russian army. News reporters run with the first part without understanding.

I can imagine Russia severely depleting their missile and drones, but it would be insane to run out of shells.

Yep, Ukraine was scrambling at beginning of invasion and surprisingly militias were massive MVP, by punching above it's weight giving chance for army to organise. Ukrainian Navy on the other hand, failed badly.

This would require some kind of simplified citizenship acquiring procedure for them.

I don't think it is, but congres was trying to remove president multiple times. In the end it is more about legitimacy than law itself. Congress and vice president seized power without proving democratic mandate (doesn't mean that they don't actually have it).

If we use USA as example, congress can legally ignore results of presidential election and choose president themselves. It would be legal but not legitimate.

Again I don't think that is the case, but I'm not in any way certain that this isn't a case.

The argument is that it is actually vice-presidential and congress coup with president only taking actions to stop it and failing. This narrative is not completely absurd.

In the end it should go to elections, but that is risky for all sides and might end up in gridlock again :(

I'm sorry, do you want me not to blame the Nazis? The Nazis are exactly the moment in history when we agreed that just following orders is not going to cut it.

I literally could not disagree with you more. People did speak against Nazis and slavery and people died fighting against it.

It's a very similar idea, but it was in non-fiction :)

I will have to finish the TV series though

But most Americans either didn't oppose him or supported him.

The system is shit I agree and deliberately encouraging apathy, but it is an explanation not an excuse.

I read somewhere and I don't remember where, that culture is useless to predict action of individual, however it is useful to predict behaviour of a group, approaching almost certainly if that group numbers in millions.

I think we are mostly in agreement, but i think we should be calling out cultures for being toxic more.

I slightly disagree with your attitude, you should not blame individual Hungarians for actions of their government and Orban.

However Hungarians as a whole are to blame for keeping him in power. So are British for Brexit and Americans for Trump. I strongly disagree with attitude that will of the people is just excused. Russians at least have an excuse that no one really counts their votes.

I will reiterate that this not mean, meeting a random Hungarian and accusing them off being responsible for Orban.

It used to be called "teenagers are moody" and "it's just a phase".

It very well might just be, but maybe now we will be able to help them to grow in better functioning adults.

Smart, bored young people, forced to stay with their parents while locked down are famous for being quiet!

I agree with the principle I'm not sure if I agree with what I expect results to be :(

You can get greater Romania shirt to counter :P

Turkey is there to keep black sea fleet in check. Ukraine almost removed this reason :P (along with Turkey, because their closing the straight prevents reinforcements)

What fleet? :P
