  • Yes indeed, you don’t even need to go to the Nordics, winter tires and gravel for low temperatures are a common knowledge in the Central Europe too. I guess this knowledge also exists locally in the most of European countries otherwise considered warm: Greece, Italy or Spain all have high mountains where this certainly applies. And even the UK has Scotland. About the only countries which might learn anything from this are Malta, Ireland and maybe Cyprus, but they probably don’t need to know anyway.

    This article sounds like Euronews needed some fluff piece and happened to have some clueless journalist in Canada.














  • That’s incredibly stupid stance. You should know that Slovaks are, just like almost any other developed nation, split. The previous Slovak government was first to deliver jet fighters to Ukraine. By that alone they probably helped Ukraine more than many wealthier western nations.

    If you kick them out now you almost guarantee that side of Slovakia will never win again. The same goes for Hungary, Orbán is projected to lose. If you kick them out the sane voters will leave and Fico and Orbán will stay in power.

    And what if AfD wins in Germany, are you gonna kick them out too?







  • Most pro-Ukraine is probably the Danish government but they’re also most pro-ChatControl. There’s always some trade-off.

    Babiš probably won’t be a Meloni type, he campaigned on reducing Ukraine support and stopping the Munition initiative. Although he’s the type of guy who would happily break these campaign promises if it was convenient for him…

    That said he can’t go full Orbán/Fico because of at least 3 things:

    1. He doesn’t control the Constitutional court and he doesn’t have a constitutional majority.
    2. He doesn’t control the Senate.
    3. He doesn’t control the President.
