I hope this is not one of those “you can use them, but only for…” situations again.

You can still buy and transport knives, they just have to be in a “locked” container. Basically just not easily accessible.

Not really. The police can search you without cause, it’s the whole reason “Waffenverbotszonen” exist.

Unconstitutional in regards to which constitution?

Lmao what? There won’t be a push for Kyiv anytime soon. And not from Kursk on the other side of the country. Even the worst scenarios don’t include Kyiv getting captured at this point.

Doesn’t really matter all that much since Europe is able to buy shells from non-European countries. South Korea manufactured more 155mm artillery shells than all of Europe combined in 2023 - and that is in addition to the ones that are produced in the EU.

Europe used to be Russia’s largest trading partner before the sanctions. The US won’t be able to bail them out.

This dude looks so much like the Austrian neo-nazi Martin Sellner that it’s actually uncanny. I genuinely thought this was him. Maybe they are long lost brothers?

That is only the number that has been independently verified from online obituaries and funeral announcements. It should be mentioned that it is much lower than even the most conservative estimates. The actual number of deaths is most likely closer to 200.000, though exact estimates are basically impossible.

And about 4-5% of their male population eligible for military service.

Here’s your answer, at least in theory:

These guys have been thrown into the middle of a conflict of similar looking people wearing similar camo and using similar weapons while speaking almost indistinguishable languages. This is probably not the only time this will happen.

I’ve tried a number of fitgirl ones and had only around a 50% success rate with them.

A lot of repack installers won’t work in Linux, not even with proton. Use the original scene release instead if you can.

Or maybe even Královec.

The latest info on the 18 North Korean deserters is that they were stationed in a forest without any command or supplies for 4 days and left their post because the alternative was starvation. They were picked up by the Russians soon after.

The Ukrainians that I’ve talked to have a very different opinion on this.

Of course, The Guardian - the famous tabloid without any actual news lol

Honestly, Moldova is too divided in this regard. Not to mention the Transnistria issue. If they were to join the EU in their current state, there’s a chance we’d just end up with another Hungary/Slovakia situation. They need much more time IMO.
