A Russian court has ordered that Deutsche Bank's and Commerzbank's assets, accounts, property and shares be seized in Russia as part of a lawsuit involving the German banks, court documents showed.
Well there is something to be said for the rule of law, no?
I would suggest that the EU gets their ass in Gear and outlines a law that (narrowly) defines if and when frozen assets can be seized. For all I care they make a law specifying this time as a limited exception (but I could imagine several high level crimes like warcrimes could be added). Get it done.
I'd suggest adding a provision that if you want the frozen assets back you have to be personally present for a court hearing.
Well if in a conflict with the US someone throws up a gps jammer they will just obliterate it. The sheer width of their capabilities and strike ranges means that a device somewhere broadcasting gps signal to overpower actual gps will be a beacon for any number of long range weapons.
Combined with low visibility aircraft that can get closer.
This is not that that US.. but more to emphasize how much of the capabilities the Ukranians lack on that front.

On Tuesday at Google I/O 2024, Google announced Veo, a new AI video-synthesis model that can create HD videos from text, image, or video prompts, similar to OpenAI's Sora. It can generate 1080p videos lasting over a minute and edit videos from written instructions, but it has not yet been released for broad use.
You are spreading Kremlin talking points. Spreading influence for a regime illegally trying to annex it's neighbor, razing cities, murdering civilians and kidnapping children.
Essentially that's mandated. Companies don't do it... But that is the law. And they can store a cookie with that info without requiring permission as it is essential to performing that action.
Sshhh.. never interrupt an adversary when they are making a mistake.
Further alienating disgruntled potential voters by making fun of them.. it's a bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off.
In the meanwhile, all the pro-palestine protesters now heard that even that miniscule tap on the brakes (which is a big signal in geopolitics) lead to a major flip out by the GOP.. so they might not like that Biden is not doing enough.. the GOP is now showing that if they are in power.. Israel will have a no limits friend.. who will not even speak out on bombing condensed civic centers.
"We have not encouraged or enabled strikes outside of Ukraine, but ultimately Ukraine has to make decisions for itself about how it's going to conduct this war," said Blinken, opening up the possibility of Western military materiel being used against Russian units located beyond Ukraine's borders.
This is actually pretty big. Kiev driving 2 himars to the north one with gmlrs and one atacms variant and the Belgorod region is pretty much f-ed
One possible explanation: He was not pro Russian enough, so the Kremlin martyred him giving the fire of his party extra fuel to grow and install an even more hardline putinist in his place.
Who would have guessed that saying the tribes are effective extensions of the cartels means they think you should not be welcome on their souvereign lands.

Yeah I read it this morning. I was surprised that not a lot of the things I feared where in there. But at least all the stuff they don't like from previous governments will be scrapped without offering alternatives. And they will be handing out truckloads of cash to incentivise farmers to stop (breaking the law and overusing our natural resources).
But a collapse in 6 months, I doubt it. If anything Rutte has proven you can "govern" 16 years without actually achieving anything meaningful. They only got rid of stuff.. except for harsher punishments all around.. especially for citizens when making a mistake on forms.
I am glad Ukraine will be supported as pvv was against this. Also the nuclear powerplants are a good solution for baseload imho.. so that also seems good. I just hope they put them out at sea on new island(s).
The Ukraine is the Russian way of referring to the country. That is why this has mostly disappeared in western media. In German many countries get an article so the translation is indeed tricky as it puts back something in English that refers to something the Ukranians requested to be removed.
But in German it is indeed the normal way of referring to countries. You also provided an eloquent response.. keep being awesome!
Pretty funny come to think of this... I can imagine stuff like this can really blow out of proportion in official talks.
Oh pipe down. Biden has been tasked with trying to undo the continuous damage the GOP guided by Trump are doing to the international stability.
Under Trumps influence the world has dramatically destabilized and everyone is rearming. Old conflicts are brewing, the political right is on the rise.
And everyone is seeing on display that the so called greatest country on earth is inept in holding a former president accountable for an insurrection he manufactured.
During trump's presidency the world has seen the blatant lies or alternative facts and how much they pay off.. every accusation they make is an admission.
Narcissists and psychopaths are having a field day being out and open, since their emperor has shown that if you are brazen enough, noone can touch you.
If there are tests on public roads, there should be independent government oversight financed by a fee on the company testing. Not to mention there should be special insurance by the company.
The government should mandate telemetry, reporting and safety precaution standards that have to be followed. This will allow the government to also learn as these systems become more commonplace.
Nah, these organizations have been gutted over the years in the name of small government. To the point that they do not have the Manpower to actually properly regulate or oversee.
I'm talking about a dedicated team of specialists that oversee these kind of processes. These specialists don't come cheap.
The fee is paid to the federal government and should be sufficient for the government to finance the oversight of innovation like this.
