Ukraine peace has been toast since summer 2022. There will be peace in Ukraine when the Russia loses the war. Everything else is just theater necessary in one hand because Germany (and France) wants it, in one hand because, well, Trump.

He has no plan. He’s just saying these words, hoping that somehow that might gain him votes.

He has no other choice.

Putin has made it clear to him that the photos they have of Orbán having an intercourse with an underage girl will be made public unless Orbán obeys.

LNG, absolutely. We have seen all those photos of blocks of flats getting half obliterated by gas explosions. I am more surprised that there is this much left of the ship! There was a gas explosion, and a gas explosion is no joke.

It helps achieve the political goals of IOC. Putin has given them a lot money, so IOC wants to support Putin. This is not a stupid way to achieve that.

Tää on muuten nerokas tapa kasvattaa omaa rauhanomaisuuttaan. Mitä enemmän sotia saa lopetettua, sitä rauhanomaisempi. Miksi niitä ei generoisi itse? Muuten loppuu lopetettava kesken!

That’s why they say “full-scale invasion”. Precisely because the war did begin 12 years ago, but the full-scale invasion began in 2022.

Героям слава!

Onko joku syy, miksi käytettäisiin juuri yhdysvaltalaisyritysten suomalaisia konesaleja?

They are just hoping that they can prolong the war by a week or two.

Maybe, just maaaaybe they will be lucky and something happens that makes the west force Ukraine to cede all of the currently occupied territory to the Orc-Roaches. The only thing the Russia can do is to try to prolong the war and hope for an act of gods.

Bring this headline to year 2019 and see how people there react.

The country is not refusing the return of its own citizens. It is refusing bringing its citizen from one country to another against their own will in a situation where there is no unavoidable and pressing need to do so.

Why is it not a legitimate move? A country is supposed to protect its citizens from harm.

Most deportations are unjust, and if the only efficient way to stop unfair deportations by us is to block them wholesale, then a country has the responsibility towards its citizens to do so.

Anything else would be madness.

Sudan genocide is very largely supported by the Russian Federation.

Pterodactyls were long gone at that point, though!

(Something related to triceratops was probably still around, but not the kind depicted here.)

Except not that much in Ukraine. Hungarians in Hungary took it personally, and a fraction of Hungarians in Ukraine. But most Hungarians in Ukraine were on the same page as Kyiv on what the point of that law is.

But also: Yeah, the law was thoughtlessly formulated. It should not have hurt the minorities like that.

Yes.

But, it’s also a country that has been trying to gain territories from Ukraine and Romania for several decades already. In the end of World War I, Hungary had to let many of its old areas gain independence, and pockets of Hungarians ended up living in Romania. Then, during World War II, Soviet Union took parts of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania. Poland was given parts of Germany as compensation, but Romania and Hungary got nothing to compensate – largely because they had been allied with Germany.

Hungary wants to undo the part of the peace agreement ending WWII that changed the ownership of the Zakarpattja area to Ukraine, and that has kept Hungary hostile to Ukraine.

Basically Hungary sees that it was unfair that its side lost the war in 1945 and wants that reversed. When the Russia attacked Ukraine, Orbán saw this as a way to “fixing” the “unfairness”.

And then there’s all the stuff that Orbán did with “women” sent to him by the Russians, using a network led by a certain J.E.
There are apparently videos or photos of him with his victims, and those are so damning that Orbán will anyways do anything to stop them from surfacing.

To mention an edge case not directly related to the case @sibbo@sopuli.xyz here…

If in some other situation a car is parked on the rescue vehicles’ driveway (pelastustie) on the yard of some house, not on public land, then if the house – basically its isännöitsijä – does not react quickly to your request to free the driveway, the house is in breach of pelastuslaki, point 8 of 106 §.

It’s also fun that if the driver exhausts all of their 90 days out of 180 while working, that means they are not allowed to travel within EU for a while!

And if they make a tourist trip, they are not allowed to work so much. But yeah, employing truck drivers with EU passports is a simple and good solution to the problem, so it’s not a huge thing. Also, if the British truck drivers lose their job because of not having an EU passport, they can move to an EU country and work for a truck company there. That way they get a stay permit, allowing them to spend 365 days out of 365 in EU if they so wish!

Doesn’t the Forumverse already do this by default?

Lemm.ee was closed a long time ago, but all of its communities still kind of exist, because every instance that had federated with its communities, have full copies of those communities. For example:

• https://piefed.social/c/cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee
• https://lemmy.world/c/cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee
• https://slrpnk.net/c/cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee

Those three are the same community, but also not. Now that lemm.ee is not around to do the federation for that community, no data gets transmitted between the three versions of that community I linked above. Just look at the number of upvotes: They are different behind each link, because there’s nothing telling lemmy.world that someone on slrpnk.net had upvoted something there. You could even add new posts in any lemm.ee communities that are not locked! Those posts would only be visible for people on your own instance, though.

In the case of a permanently dead instance this is something of a problem, actually, because people might not understand that they are posting in a community that will never again federate.
But, for example in the case of the downtime of slrpnk.net, people were still able to use the communities. They were able to upvote and downvote, they were able to write comments, and they were able to make new posts.

All that content was stuck in each individual instance, so if I from nord.pub wrote a comment there, a user on lemmy.world would not see it. But, when slrpnk came back up, all instances sent all of the updates to it, and it then federated then onwards to other instances, joining all the added comments into one.

The whole Forumverse functions through mirroring. Each instance has a full copy of any community its users have subscribed to. If the home instance of the community goes down, the copy will continue to function.

So, to write all this in the nutshell: While slrpnk.net was down, people using other instances were still able to use its communities without even noticing the server was down! Therefore, I would argue that what you are asking for, is already taking place. It does not work very well if slrpnk.net ever goes down for good, but as long as it eventually climbs back up after disappearing for a while, this solution works very well.

And also: If lemm.ee somehow ever comes back online, all the upvotes behind those three links will be federated to all other instances, and then any of those three links will show the same amount of upvotes.
