I edited my previous response, there is no reason to believe Russians won’t grab the opportunity when they learn the truth and it arises.
Both things will happen. Because with an economy that doesn’t work, where the government can’t pay, you can’t police properly either.

Don’t you mean underestimate? Maybe, I can’t say I’m familiar with how Russians states feel regarding their “Russian Nationality”. But we know for a fact that the populations of many regions wanted out of the Soviet Union. Like Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia and more.
The Russian federation is becoming very unattractive, with an economy in ruins, and a military that cannot ensure safety for the outer regions.
The Russian federation consist of several people, that could quickly develop a desire for independence, like happened when the Soviet Union collapsed.

Edit: Oh sorry, I thought you meant it as nationality, but apparently you mean it as merely people, why not just write that then?
A bit confusing that you use a Russian term.

No I’m not underestimating the Russian people, they rebelled against communism as soon as a windows of opportunity showed itself.
And as stated above, many left the union too, when that opportunity arose.
The same will happen again, because Russia is still a fractured nation.

You misunderstand the situation IMO. The Russian federation collapse is because they can’t keep enduring the war. Their economy is collapsing, and when reality dawns on the Russians, Respect for Putin will vanish. And with it, the respect for the Russian federation. And that’s what will make the federation collapse.

Many estimate that Russia will only be able to endure until summer maybe a year. This is for different reasons, but IMO the economic downturn or collapse is what will end the ability for Russia to fight on.
The Russian population is only now beginning to feel the consequences of the war, because Putin has flooded the country with money, but the economy cannot satisfy demand, and now steep inflation eats the gains people have received. It’s like a law of physics, you repair a broken economy by pouring money into it, it will only increase inflation, and make it worse.

Kudos to romania for tackling the issue head-on.

Exactly, accepting Russian propaganda needs to stop. Russian propaganda must be as illegal as Nazism is in most countries.

Unless there is specific evidence of the voting process itself being rigged, this sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I disagree, if Russia has made massive manipulative propaganda based on lies, that needs to be addressed. An election should not be based on lies. Especially not outside propaganda.

By that standard, the 2016 presidential election in USA was also based on much Russian propaganda, but the Americans didn’t have the balls to call it out directly.
And now they have elected a fraudulent criminal for president. In my country, the parliament would without a doubt deem Trump unfit to serve.
In this situation it is USA that is a dysfunctional democracy, and not Romania.

production seems to be falling

Absolutely, I just read that Russia has reduced the target production of jet engines by a third for next 2 years, due to “difficulties”.
I’m guessing those difficulties will only get worse, so even the reduced targets won’t be met.

I just saw in the news here in Denmark, that November is the month with the highest Russian casualties yet, and it’s been climbing for 4 moths in a row now.

Seems like Putin is hell bent on winning this war, no matter the cost. The cost probably being the collapse of the Russian federation!

Hey Russian election interference is perfectly fine and perfectly legal.

Having polled in single digits before the first presidential election round on Nov. 24, Calin Georgescu - who wants to end Romanian support for Ukraine against Russia’s invasion - surged to a victory that raised questions over how such a surprise had been possible

Romania’s top security council on Wednesday said the country was a target of “aggressive hybrid Russian attacks” during the election period.

The electoral process to elect Romania’s president will be fully re-run,

It’s a gutsy move, but I think it’s a good call.

It started in the 60’s. But flower power peaked in the 70’s.

Lot’s of things were going on in the 70’s. The peace movement, people living together in collective housing, higher sexual freedom and more flexible sexual identity, generally rebelling against authorities, cannabis becoming popular. All this was also expressed in art, music, paintings and movies.

In UK this may have been further emphasized by a very backwards school system, with many attending boarding schools and wearing uniforms.
Something I remember when attending public school in Denmark in the 70’s as extremely backwards compared to conditions here.

I think older generations hated the 70’s, and they are probably still remembered as being a bit silly. But they are also remembered for being a time of optimism, where ideals and hopes for a better future were high.

Everything in the bible is superstition and magic thinking. This is no different, and counts as much as everything else.

Wow, so a biblical description to specifically cause an abortion in case of adultery, is not an argument for pro choice among Christians?
Just wow???

Officiating a marriage is a “performance”.

What kind of bullshit argument is this? Taking the job is agreeing to make those “performances”, as they are part of the job.

Would it be right to commission a Muslim painter to paint Mohammed, then sue them when they refuse on religious grounds?

What nonsense is this? Obviously he shouldn’t have taken that commission!! If he does, it’s perfectly reasonable to sue him for not doing the job he accepted and was paid for.

If it was simply signing another document on a stack with a dozen others, that would be different.

Nope, same thing. Part of the job.

Part of American democracy is that religion and governance is kept separate. What she is doing is undermining the democracy she works for. To favor her religious beliefs instead.
Unfortunately that is all to common for Christians, and they feel entitled to shit on everybody else.
But would you also find it OK if she issued death penalties for working on a Saturday? Should we just accept that?
Religion has no place in public service, and it’s particularly despicable that a judge doesn’t respect that. Her job is literally to uphold the law.

I’m not sure what you mean “on a technicality” instead of merely “It is true”.

That’s OK, if Intel can reasonably compete on energy efficiency, speed and yields, it’s all good.
TSMC has very steep profits on these bleeding edge processes, so even if Intel has to sell it slightly cheaper to gain customers, they can still make a healthy profit.

Best of luck to Intel on this.

Yes absolutely, that’s the most crazy part. A method of abortion where the woman is at high risk of dying!
But that only “proves” she was guilty of adultery!

Christians are insane IMO.

Absolutely.
Is she doing it because she is Christian, because then she should also know the Bible endorses slavery.
It’s insane that people still hold any value to that old piece of shit book. Also remember to stone your neighbors if they are gathering wood on a Saturday.

Well to bad for him, Elron Musk is not a legal American.

Exactly, so they need to always have cash on hand to cover the insured.
IDK how this is run, and I find the existence of private health insurance despicable.
But for a capitalist system, where health insurance is run like a business, 6% profit on revenue is not a lot.
It’s not the 6% that is the problem. Because an insurance company needs to have profits and a healthy cash flow, to be able to cover the insured.

But allegedly the company used AI to make decisions on coverage, if that’s true, that may have been a way bigger problem.

Revenue is not profits. The profits are $28 billion, that’s only 6% which is actually low.
