Britain shows up on the EU's doorstep in the rain, holding flowers they've clearly been clenching too tightly.

From their face it's clear they've been hurting, but it was all self inflicted, and they are so sorry, do you take Britain back?

Economic Wish Fulfillment

Hey, you snot encrusted waste product, three times in the last week, THREE TIMES, the Ukrainians attempted a Weapon of Mass Destruction; a radiological bomb. THREE TIMES they attacked a Russian nuclear reactor with drones, trying to create a breach, render a huge swath of land uninhabitable, slowly murdering everyone exposed with cancer deaths from the radiation. THREE TIMES in the last week!

Here's an incredibly biased piece of anti Russian propaganda from a left wing "news" source. The Ukraine really is trying to spark a nuclear war, and Biden really is so incompetent and senile that he's letting them. <link>

Russia has long ago said that they will respond with nuclear weapons. Long ago. Long BEFORE the Ukraine just did this another THREE TIMES in the last week.

And we're paying for this? You think it's a good idea? You think it makes sense for the American people to spend money we don't even have so that election-cancelling fascists can spark a nuclear war with their terrorist attacks?

This is "Good" foreign policy to you?

You LIKE that Biden is doing this?

Trust me here, and I mean this with all my heart but, if the Ukraine isn't stopped, if they continue with the reckless even INSANE terrorism there will be a nuclear war and, after that, assuming you're alive, there will be nothing you wouldn't give up to roll back the clock and stop it from happening. Once the Ukraine gets the nuclear war started, there will be nothing you wouldn't do to get a second chance to stop them.

Once the Ukraine sparks the nuclear war, assuming you live, you're going to wish bigger than any wish you ever had in your life that you can go back in time and stop Biden's madness.

Our idiotic leaders made assurances, you can even call them "Guarantees" of the Ukraine's independence. But you know what they didn't do? As stupid as our so called "Leaders" are you know what they didn't get mixed up in?

We never made a suicide pact with the Ukraine.

We had an agreement, we made assurances but we didn't form a suicide pact, so any and all agreements were broken, rescinded starting with the very first terrorist attack by the Ukraine.

You have no right to risk nuclear war for another people's country, much less fascist who engage in terrorism.

AND WHAT'S WORSE:

You actually think you're superior for supporting this madness. You think this makes you better than me and everyone else who values the existence of civilization.

The Ukrainian war would be long over, if we had decent leaders who stopped paying for the war the moment the Ukrainians resorted to terrorism.

There was a fascist coup that overthrew the elected government of the Ukraine in 2013. Yes, your precious media will tell you that the fascists weren't fascist, or they all moved to Brazil starting the moment they won but, even the so called "Democratic" government in charge right now cancelled elections. And they're persecuting the Orthodox Church as thought criminals. And there was never a time when they weren't attacking the ethnic Russians of the western fringes and Crimea.

End this madness. And the only way to do that is to end the Biden administration. He simply can not and will not see his policies for the insanity that they are.

[Parliament is a step closer to passing a “Russian law “ that will endanger the country’s European Union membership bid.

"Georgia’s opposition recognized the “foreign agent” law could easily become a roadblock to the country’s accession to the European Union and NATO. Last December, Georgia was given candidate status for E.U. membership, but to acquire full membership, Georgia needs to demonstrate a clear commitment to the bloc’s values and reform. The E.U. emphasized that “proper functioning of democratic institutions and reforms related to justice and the rule of law are a priority” for Georgia."

NARRATOR: Doug was shocked when someone explained to him that we do, in fact, have new elections every few years just in case people have changed their minds about things.

The EU elections happened last night, and I'm torn. In Finland (my country) the results were quite good! The far-right party lost seats, the left alliance gained them and the person with the most votes was the leader of the left alliance. She got about double the amount of votes compared to the far-right.

But the rest of the EU...... not good, really not good. Like what the fuck is going on there??? I really don't have the spoons to worry about this rn!

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

HEY GUYS!!

GUYS!!!

FRANCE HAS REACHED THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF SIGNATURES ON THE CITIZEN'S INITIATIVE AGAINST CONVERSION THERAPY IN THE EU!!

ONE COUNTRY DOWN, SIX TO GO!!

We also need still quite a few signatures in order to reach the one million required.

As to date, the six other countries with the most signatures are:

Spain - 38.72%

Finland - 30.31%

Ireland - 24.86%

Netherlands - 24.15%

Germany - 23.54%

Belgium - 23.09%

So yeah, still a long way to go, but we ARE slowly getting closer. Don't stop now! Don't let this stay within the community, either, if you have any friends or family who are open to queer rights, get them to sign, too!

Hey, if you have half a minute and care about the LGTBQIA+ community in the EU, I'd suggest you take a look at this initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU.

1 million people are required to sign, but there's barely 100k. The form takes less than a minute, it only requires your ID, name and surname.

Please, help spread the initiative so that it can reach the goal ASAP! If you're not from the EU and can't sign, at least reblog! Thanks in advance.
