BBC News says it was said using a megaphone when talking to a large crowd:

Petro shared a video on social media of him addressing a large crowd through a megaphone in Spanish on Friday.

He called for the formation of a “world salvation army, whose first task is to liberate Palestine”.

“That is why, from here in New York, I ask all soldiers in the United States Army not to point their rifles at humanity,” he said. “Disobey Trump’s order! Obey the order of humanity!”

You forgot to read the end of my comment.

We are almost completely in agreement.

(Of course Trump’s rhyme and reason are irrelevant here. The president of Colombia is not known as a moron and there is a demand for him to act like a diplomat even when visiting a moron. But, Trump, Mussolini and similar make an exception: the charter of Human Rights is the most important piece of rules there is, and it basically requires everybody to behave that way. Therefore: unusual but acceptable.)

“Disobey Trump’s orders” is what he said. Disobey horrible orders whether legal or illegal.

A ballsy thing for a president to go to a demonstration in another country and tell its military to disobey their own president. If the president of Portugal did the same in Denmark, I would absolutely expect him to be expelled from the Danish territory.

Personally, if any country’s president was to do the same in Finland, I would see that as an actual act of war by his country.

This all having been said: whatever is done against Trump is done for USA. The president of Colombia did an awesome thing and I’m happy he did it!

the people who hold the other keys are the ones most likely to lead a coup against putin.

They are also ones that will absolutely, unavoidably, get informed if Putin wants to launch nuclear weapons. It’s unlikely they will agree, so if Putin ever is to ask them to use their “keys”, he will show himself as an utmost danger to their lives, and they will therefore organize Putin to die within the next 15 minutes or so. And if he manages to hide in a bunker, he will be completely isolated there and will de facto no longer be the POTRF.
Someone else will then take over.

I was a bit lost on what you are referring to… Is it these three lines as one of the mentioned historical echoes that aren’t mentioned in the rest of the article?

Historical Echoes

(…)

Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre (1973):
A president gutted DOJ to protect himself. Substitute “DoD” for “DOJ,” and the rhyme is chilling.

(…)

If something else, it would be interesting knowing what.

Here’s a good article on what this might well be about: https://www.jackhopkinsnow.com/p/how-to-read-hegseths-mass-recall

Vance and Hegseth arent, though…

Na gut, das stimmt :)

Habe tatsächlich übersehen, dass es noch ein Kommentarniveau weiter nach oben geht!

I had to google the Dead Sea Effect: it means that when a workplace has a bad culture, the most skilled and ambitious workers are first to leave and those who have a habit to do the minimum will remain.

Anyway, I’d say this effect is weaker in this situation, because many workers are there truly to serve their country, not merely as “generic workers”. They might feel that they have something important to contribute to the society, which means there’s an actual chance for even some of the best to return.

And, while this is a bit off-topic, I also want to add an anecdote from around year 1998 or so. Back when they decided the name for our currency, Euro, the European Central Bank also decided that when speaking or writing in Finnish, it should be forbidden to say “For the Euro”, “From the Euro”, “Along the Euro”, “Behind the Euro”, “Without the Euro” or any sentence that includes both the word for “no” in connection with the word “Euro”.

Of course it didn’t mean to make such an absurd rule.

But in Finnish those words such as “from”, “for”, etc. come after the word and without a space in between, so they technically count as parts of the same word. And the ECB declared that “Euro” is a word that cannot be declinated in any manner in any language. There is no way of saying “from” in Finnish without adding an ending to a word, so this was something of a very shitty ruling. Obviously it was simply ignored. But it does showcase a situation where Finland had something that was completely unique in EU and got completely overlooked. Back then Finland was the only Finno-Ugric speaking country in the EU, and in Indo-European languages the decision made sense, but in the one country with a language from a different language family, it didn’t. The Finnish language got completely overlooked because Finland was so small, peripheral and insignificant. Maybe not a problem for the EU, but definitely a problem for us people living over here in our insignificant and unimportant corner of the Union.

I would prefer the veto rights being reduced strongly.

At the same time, being from a small country, it also worries me that small countries such as Finland can get trampled by the bigger ones. Finland has very close to 1 % of EU’s citizens. There is already a system where smaller countries get more places per capita in the European Parliament than bigger ones, but in the end it changes little. In the EP, Finland has 15 places out of 720, meaning we have about 2% of all the places. And therefore, about 2% of the political power. Assuming the MEPs who are from very different parties could even unite as one front in the first place.

It is a bit scary if Finland only has a 2% weight in any decisions made in the EU. There are already things where we are getting accidentally trampled: There are EU rules about having to add an additive to diesel fuel, to make it less polluting. However, that additive freezes in temperatures that are commonplace in winters in Lapland, at least in nighttime. This means, it is de facto illegal parking a diesel vehicle outdoors during a January night in Lapland. I do not think this was ever the intention of the lawmakers, but that’s the law they ended up writing.

But still: I think it might make sense that there would be some way of getting around a veto, but it should be made in some manner unappealing to use unless really needed. And also, the power should, in general, be moved from commission to EP, thus reducing the number of cases where the veto right exists.

I wonder if some kind of “emergency brake” could be deviced for situations where the parliament is about to make a decision that will disproportionately damage a member state. Maybe this could be organized as a law, so that a court could decide if something of exceptional national importance is being overlooked by the EP?

Doesn’t the pipe go through Poland? Why doesn’t Poland just stop delivering the oil?

So, they shot because they were fearing for their safety?

And they shot from behind the car, through the back window, while the car was driving away from both of them.
Okay.

What was the threat they were trying to stay from?

Dies ist das erste Mal, das ich von jemandem mit solchen Pläne gehört habe. Und nicht einmal du bist ernst mit der Verwirkligung deines Plans.

Nö. Das Szenario ist, dass Russland zu den gültigen Grenzen, wie die z.B. im Jahr 2010 waren, vorgedrungen wird.

Putin droht dass er in einem solchen Fall Atomwaffen verwenden wird, was ich extrem bezweifele.

Eine militärische Niederlage wie im 1945 ist hier nicht notwendig und wird nicht stattfinden.

They worked as predefined by the priorities given by Disney.

Disney chose to give instructions that lead to this kind of occurrences, among other stuff.

“Some Europeans fear”?!

Some Europeans fear that water is wet.

100 000 $ per year is 8333 $ per month. That is a proportionally very high extra cost, even if the salary is high.

And this thing done by UK is just a publicity stunt. “You are welcome here. Come here!”

Ever heard of this thing called Torrent? It was created, among other reasons, for situations precisely like this one ❤️

Most likely not.

However, a lot of people here and there have been reporting that they’ve cancelled their Disney subscriptions. They saw that the trend is not showing signs of ending and had to make it end. Get Kimmel back and customers will stop leaking away.

The Russia started actively supporting neo-nazistic organizations in ex-USSR countries around year 2005. That was documented back and there were news articles about that. For example in Ukraine that caused the prevalence of a nazi problem to increase steadily year after all the way until 2014 when that development got cut and the prevalence started decreasing.

Back then, 20 years ago, when there was more media attention about it, it was done only in ex-USSR countries, but it would be weird if the same concept hadn’t been extended to EU countries as well. Why wouldn’t it have been? It has worked extremely well for Putin in the original area, and there’s no reason to assume it wouldn’t work for him the same way within EU countries as well.
