I agree, that's why in my first comment I said that if that were the scenario it would be a good scenario for Ukraine. The title of this news is what it suggests, how realistic it is, this is another story
After the rise of fascism in Europe, many wondered how such collective madness was possible. Each country had its own motivations, but they all shared the lack of opportunities to prosper materially (that lack of opportunities could be real or perceived, it doesn't matter), that led to desperation and made it easier to buy into the discourse of "someone else is to blame for your ills, attack him and prosperity will return." That's why things like public healthcare were established throughout Europe after the war.
When fascism rises, blaming the people solves nothing, blaming a system that doesn't care enough for them usually gives better results
I don't know, it could be, my experience in military strategy is summarized in having lost many times in the Europa Universalis. What I do understand a little more about is politics and international relations and I know that if Russia presented itself to negotiate with a deal that said "if you give me Crimea I won't ask for anything else" Ukraine should accept without hesitation.
It may be, but in the case of Spain the party has not moved, it has always had those positions, both economically and socially, not so much perhaps against immigration, as on abortion or religious issues, they have always been the version most radical of the European PP
The current system DOES allow it, it's not a system like the American one, what does not allow it's the will of the voters, those on the left would be cool with the idea, but they are not going to vote for it because they are not on the left and those on the right do not like a center party. It's not the system, it's the people.
The problem is that considering the Spanish PP as a center is a basic error, it is not fascist in the style of the German ultra-right, but it is more similar to Le Pen or Meloni than to Merkel, it is dominated by the most extreme wing since its foundation.
I completely agree, I wanted to say if they ONLY give up Crimea and absolutely nothing else. Neither territory nor other things like NATO. Unfortunately, seeing the feedback from my previous comment, many see other better options as realistic, maybe they know more than me.
Maybe Eisenhower was still a good president, but I think FDR should be considered one of the greatest leaders of all time, not only in America. Any other will not be up to par
A private company wants to make money, that's not possible. Mastodon is funded by donations. It's good as a user to know how everything works and choose accordingly.
