Frognukes all the way.

De Gaulle was right

At any airport you have probably been to, there is. But a lot of things are on the honor system, which works for pilots because if they catch you lying, they basically reset your career.

The common adage on the other side of the fence was that you should take your helmet off so that it doesnt melt down into your neck.

Ukraine has started applying for NATO membership since around 2009?

2002, then abandoned it around 2008 to appease Russia. They did not pick it back up until after the invasion.

Russia slightly but moreso in Africa.

Syria had Russian troops deployed, in the Middle East.

China does not so far.

They own 78 ports in Africa over 32 African ports.

Ukraine is a poor example as Ukraine tried to join NATO against the promises NATO made with Russia.

Ukraine asked for NATO after the Russian invasion, not before. All they wanted was EU trade agreements.

Russia will not attack the EU as the EU has nukes.

Russia is currently conducting a blatant and overt misinformation campaign aimed at toppling democrating governments all over the EU.

Thanks, I was on my phone and I am awful at typing stuff out so I tend towards brevity without noticing.

That is great, you can try to run as a communist in any of those countries, see where that gets you. It’s allowed, Hungary even has a communist party on the ballot.

There was an article about staffing agencies spamming LLM generated CVs to companies to saturate the market and convince companies that hiring is impossibly hard

you can’t just take off from a runway without being registered and security cleared etc. Right?

Under European rules, if you are flying domestically under VFR, you don’t necessarily need to even file a flight plan. Even if they did, nobody checks who flies the plane if it’s not an international big airport. I mean I sure would file either way, especially since that area is dangerous and I want authorities to know where I am if I disappear in the mountains.

For a small grass strip in the middle of Slovenia, you might not even need a radio, but local regulations might beg to differ.

It’s possible it’s literally as tight and controlled as getting into and driving a car is.

To be honest, crashing a small plane in that area is not that out of the ordinary, I happen to know some people who died there in a plane crash. The more open airspaces there have a low ceiling, and there is a lot of bad visiblility and high mountains. If the weather is not good, you simply shouldn’t fly, or go higher and file IFR, otherwise it’s very dangerous for CFIT incidents.

So does Russia and China. Yeah, it would be a nicer world if we all wouldn’t start wars and stuff, but as you can see in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, that is not the case. Europe is currently militarily threatened by the US and Russia, so we either capitulate or do something about it.

By your logic though, Russia should disarm, and the only countries that could be trusted with weapons in the region are Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics, as IIRC they never had significant colonies, right? Zelensky had a proposal for Ukrainian peacekeepers across Europe, would you support that together with a demilitarized Russia?

Playing the opposite gender would knock me out of immersion much less than installing that many anime-ish mods.

The same toxic dweebs might also go weird towards you sometimes, it’s definitely an experience getting to know why a lot of women carry pepper spray in public.

That is not even correct Latin.

Most people in Eastern Europe think about the Soviet occupation as one of the greatest tragedies of modern history. I don’t know which world you live in where they weren’t an oppressive power.

They came raping and pillaging, they took people away in trains never to be seen again, and they ravaged our countries in more ways than one.

And to be honest, Russia is currently doing more than its share of power projection and destabilization in Africa and the Middle East.

The thought actually comes from Plato, the Latin is incidental because most people who could write in Europe in the past few millennia did so in Latin so most old adages survived in Latin.

That said, do you have an argument against the substance of what I said other than the language?

Why? Everyone else is doing it, and as they say, si vis pacem para bellum.

There is a place near me that’s a three floor complex of arcade machines and it’s a single entry fee to play them all.
