Quote from: Sheilbh on June 28, 2022, 06:27:47 PMYeah and before Scholz slightly upended things I would see that Danish model pop up a lot in articles about "what to do about the fall of social democracy/centre left in Europe". I can't remember any of the details but I think it was normally the Danish model (which might only apply in other Northern European countries) of trying to take the radical right's ideas to bolster/secure your traditional vote;or the Iberian model which I've forgotten :blush:

Understandable, our government has forgotten too.  <_<

Russia has withdrawn from Snake Island.

According to their MOD this is a goodwill gesture to show they're not trying to block corridors transporting food from Ukraine.

According to Russian military telegrams (and I think Ukrainian statements), they withdrew because staying in the island under fire from Caesars was a suicide mission.

Feels significant in working out how to get foot shipments out of Ukraine.
Let's bomb Russia!

Not easy for Ukraine to re-occupy it. Anything they put there can be shot at more or less at will by Russian air and naval assets. It will probably be a no-mans land for a while.

Can we ask the MOD to ban Russia?

Yeah like they said the withdrawal from Kænugarður and all of Northern Ukraine was a goodwill gesture and in any case just a feint...

Yep. It's so rare and nice for a change to see an aggressive invading power make quite so many goodwill gestures.

Sweden sent another $50 million worth of equipment to Ukraine. We're soon up to Charles XII level aid for Ukraine.

What doe these numbers mean?  Exports?  Imports?  Manufactured? 
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
