Good! Obviously, Ukraine cannot became a member before the war is finished, then it has dealt with its corruption and stabilized economy. But it's good that they are given green signal.

This will be a big change in policy. I suspect that it is related to current war in Ukraine. Could be that finally Germany has seen the true face of Putin? I speculate but in relation to other big announcements today by the EU (providing fi

I think that Putin has crossed the line and the EU will not give up sanctions easily. The EU just announced that will provide financing for fighter jets that will be given to Ukraine. The EU president also said that will accept Ukraine in t

Definitely we should avoid saying that we hate Russians. They are also victims of this war started by deranged leaders. In Russia it was not easy to be in opposition and even if many people supported Putin before, they didn't believe t

This is most likely war propaganda. Do not allow it here.

It is not about NATO membership. It is about Ukraine as an independent nation or not. And it doesn't seem likely that Russia will win on that front. There will be terrible loss of human lives and it will all be Putin's fault.

No, a peace agreement won't do anything you describe. It will only cause the same amount of deaths but from insurgency. There is no rational reason for Ukraine to agree to peace agreement now.

Ukrainians are not going to stay neutral. They will never submit. Sorry, but that is only Putin's fantasy and ultimately his downfall.

The war is already happening and Russia is going to win and Ukraine will lose. Stopping the war now by negotiations or promises is not going to change the outcome.

They already have that. The war is not about that. Russia winning this war will not mean peace and stability, free of foreign control to Ukrainians.

NATO is a red herring. Of course, Ukrainians want protection from Russia but NATO is just the means, not the goal by itself. It makes all sense for Ukraine to join NATO just like the Baltic countries did. There would be no war if Ukraine wa

What does it mean to win a war? Russia can conquer a Ukrainian army but people simply won't accept a Russian government that easily. A genocide-like repressions, similar to golodamor, will be required. It can be averted or the world ca

No, it will not work because too many Ukrainians will continue fighting against Russians regardless what Zelensky says right now. He might be even killed by Russians any moment now.

For many it would mean losing heating and electricity. And while many say they are ready for such hardships, what if one has children or elderly parents they need to take care of? Loss of electricity would also mean public transportation or

I guess Draghi just want eternal meetings which at the end don't provide any help. I can easily understand his frustration.

To me it didn't sound disrespectful. He reports about people dying which is a tragedy. And then he tries to express annoyance with someone who wanted him to participate in the meeting at very specific time, apparently not considering t

This view is wrong and that is the primary cause of problems with antivax. The studies show that giving better information helps to undecided. Whereas vaccine mandates do not help much for staunch antivax. The real world example (for exampl

Mandates had nothing to do with that. Proper education and information helped the UK to achieve good vaccination update especially among elderly while many countries with strict mandates lagged behind. Vaccine mandates however can caused co

1) The reference is the UK health ministry report why they revoked the vaccine mandates for healthcare professionals. 2) With the global perspective the differences are not significant. Most important what are vaccination rates among elderl

I am really surprised that you are asking about this as if this is something that still needs to be proved. Read the UN materials on this issue. They are very informative. Basically this is something you have to research yourself because th

1) It matter but not that much. There are 92000 physicians in Canada. Of course, most of them are involved in many other healthcare activities. In general, hospitals have 1 physician for 10 patients which means that only 200 more physicians

1) That's true and it shows that the difference between vaccinated and non-vaccinated is not dramatic. If everybody was vaccinated the decrease of hospitalization would be 50% which is not that significant compared to what we have gone

Two remarks about this: 1) About half of those people in hospitals were vaccinated. 2) Vaccine mandates do not considerably improve vaccination update, especially among elderly who benefit the most from vaccination. As for the US rules, bot

Work is work, wherever you do it. I find it strange to call work from home a remote work when it is exactly the opposite, the work done locally at home. Especially when this type of work even in office is often done by connecting to servers

I think the narrative that the UK people don't trust the government and in Sweden people do is not really true. Lockdowns is one thing but when time came for vaccination, the UK didn't have vaccine mandates and yet managed to have

Easy, by diplomacy not by force. Talk to truckers at first. Listen what they want. Get rid of useless vaccine mandates and the truckers will leave on their own accord.

Trudeau doesn't make any sense. He announced a war with protestors who demand the things (removal of covid restrictions/vaccine mandates) that many countries including certain provinces of Canada itself already have and/or wi
