headed by the gal who cleaned up Romania.

While Kövesi did a bunch of good stuff and got some convictions, Romania is far, far from clean as far as corruption goes.

Nope. Ukraine was a lone wolf and Putin thought it’d be easy pickings (though I’m sure he realized pretty soon how much he fucked up), but no way he’s going up against nations that are part of actual defensive pacts.

Except that’s not true, and Russia had precedent already from 2014. Oh and also Ukraine is not in NATO or the EU. So not really that surprising that Russia tried something.

I find it amusing and ironic that the overall sentiment seems to be “just leave your comments around or delete them all manually, which may not work; who really cares?” given the backlash reddit has received and continues to receive around account/comment deletions (and forceful restorations). And especially given the downright clinical paranoia around privacy that seems to permeate many areas of Lemmy.

Correct.

Absolutely not what they’re saying. They are clearly making the point that the non-Hamas people who are having to use the hospital have no real alternatives (such as hunting down Hamas members) and shouldn’t suffer the consequences of Hamas choosing to be there.

They’ve been ahead for years.
