I’m from Hungary. I have no love for Orban and did what I could to depose him (for all thr nothing it availed to), but I also welcome all the retribution we get for allowing him in power for so long,even if it hurts me personally as well.

Veterans are overwhelmingly Trump supporters. So they won, they can get over it.

If you ever feel like feeling sorry for them, just remember them cheering for this.

The feeling I get is his opposition/hate of the western world leaves him no room for nuance. Ukraine is helped by the west to defend against Russia = Ukriane has to be wrongand Russia has to be right.

Realising this also makes me question a lot about him, to be honest…

According to Chomsky, Russia is acting with restraint and moderation. He compares Russia’s way of fighting with the US’s during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, arguing that large-scale destruction of infrastructure seen in that conflict “hasn’t happened in Ukraine”.

Seems very unambiguous to me.

He died to me the day he stood with Putin and the invasion against Ukraine.

Supply and demand.

If there’s less supply of workforce, workers are in a better position to demand better conditions or wages. Oversupply of workforce gives employers more power in turn.

More immigrants - or anything that balloons the workforce - helps the side of employers, even without considering the fact that most immigrants are satisfied with worse conditions and/or lower pay than western workers.
