Of course. Those are just basic 4x4 MRAPs and they were picked because they were the cheapest offer. Of course they are better than completely unprotected civilian 4x4's, but not by much. It's officially STANAG 1 or 2 protection level depending on variant, and in Ukraine that's acceptable for...

For one it had an index of banned books long before that conflict and unrelated to it. https://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/fsdg/744/ https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt9qdcgn They used what tools they did have access to, like book and even theater censorship.

Again, if you don't like people being controlled, Imperial Germany of all things is not something to simp for. Back then some tools for control didn't exist, but now they do, and if they did then, you could bet they would be used.

Of all things to complain about, bureaucracy is something Imperial Germany had a lot of.

Yes, it is. And it's a case of you yet again trying to appear smart by quoting economy 101, when you know damn well that these things are most applicable to plain private entities without particular connections, and it gets iffier when there are national governments involved the case, especially...

No, you thinking you are smart and that by quoting common wiki articles you are "educating" someone is just you being a self-absorbed asshole, not whataboutism. I was referring about the whole earlier governments negotiating buying energy companies from other governments thing, but i see that...

Your whole argument here is a big chunk of whataboutism by the way.

Can you go argue with yourself in a more private place?

Yes, and if they don't, you can sue the government. You might even win. Might. Good luck with that. The lawyers will win for sure no matter what though. Declaring that my argument is "straw grasping, null and void" doesn't make it so outside of your delusional mind.

That's a lot of "cans" with certain caveats, especially applying to private ownership, not a lot of "actually applies to this case for sure", when both of the parties here are more or less influential governments with more or less political pull in all these organizations, and power to go as...

I'm guessing if you knew you would have told us instead of being evasive like that. A clown who thinks that he is being clever by insulting people in a language most people on the forum don't know. Also this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bashi-bazouk >stealing Lol. I don't think "negotiating"...

Which makes it even less of a difference whether the government deciding said regulations just outright owns them or not. Might aswell make the de facto control official. How about the not so hypothetical scenario where most of Europe now wants to buy energy resources from European suppliers...

And some of these have loyalties to a foreign government, as opposed to personal economic interest. Which may cause them to make decisions that make no sense except from the perspective of that foreign government's political interests. Doing dumb shit is no reason to stick to doing dumb shit in...

I care about citizen's property rights. Not foreign government's property rights. It's not like i'll ever turn into a foreign government. Don't worry so much, i have good news for you, you certainly won't wake up one day as a foreign government. Trust me. Yup, you and whatever weirdo political...

Government property is not private property, even, bah, especially if its a foreign government. It's subject to control of foreign policy and national interests that foreign policy should be guided by, not covered by citizen's rights, except by technicality that should be eliminated at first...

You mean other government's property.

If you look at who owned these so far it's nowhere near as significant change as it sounds... Let's just say it's not a takeover of perfectly normal private businesses.

Funny enough, it has become a discussion topic with shift to online classes due to lockdowns, and the worst offenders have volunteered to complain that this is indeed something they worry about. https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14554

1 is an interesting proposition but also a bit of self-contradiction. It looks as a libertarian and socialist solution rolled into one. Improvement of standards of living through general prosperity, less regulation and bureaucracy, making chilraising less costly at least, that could have some...
