The rich usually ensure that there are enough gigantic exceptions. And these exceptions often aren’t reported upon.

And maybe he believes the trickle down economy bs.

Your statement screams

…something that’s not similar/equivalent.

Up to now he has been able to get really rich by being this way.

Obviously, the EU hasn’t the spine to eject Hungary

There’s no way to remove a member. The EU could remove their voting rights, but Hungary used to be helped by Poland.

I wonder how many extra thousands of EU troops

There’s no EU army. There’s NATO, the EU countries have armies, but there aren’t any EU troops.

Too bad this is a podcast instead of an article.

EU had gas pipelines before. Focussing on LNG is suspicious. LNG was tiny in comparison with what was delivered way more cheaply through those pipelines.

But then you’d not be truthful.

You wouldn’t believe the level of hate and name-calling I received for pointing this out and saying they should negotiate.

This has been going on since 2014. Since last year Russia stepped up with genocide. I think it’s not so nice you’re pretending you were downvoted for two things, while ignoring that negotiation is pretty stupid. Look in the past, Russia often though messed up their initial attack only then to finally become wiser after regrouping.

Russia should stop the war and it would stop. But that’s not what you advocated.

They take up way less space than what’s allocated for cars. But because it appears different you’ll not notice that the car parking takes away so much space that could be allocated to e.g. a wider sidewalk, dedicated bike lines, more green, or parking for more space efficient methods of transport such as rental scooters.

I know Reuters is state-affiliated media

Jeez, even the first thing you say can easily be checked. Please check if what you think is true is actually true.

Reuters partly does their own research/reporting, partly it just redistributes reports from other media.

That’s completely different than your first claim.

barbarism and cultural fetishizing of brutal mass murder

This doesn’t make any sense. Are you from Russia? How does anything in your comment make sense? It feels like random words and sentences.
