Russia violated Poland’s airspace early on Sunday with a cruise missile launched at targets in western Ukraine, Poland’s armed forces said.

Russia launched 57 missiles and drones on Ukraine in the early hours, including attacking Kyiv and the western region of Lviv that is near the Polish border.

    I saw a good video analysis about France spending lately. I’m going to edit that in.

    That video is really long, takes way longer to watch than an article. Further, it has loads of errors. The person really should’ve researched things more. E.g. the bit about the EU.

    Didn’t notice the bit about social programs. But there’s quite a bit of lack of critical thinking. E.g. video mentions that the US doesn’t have universal healthcare because of it’s military spending. Which is not correct, universal healthcare is significantly cheaper.

    Current government is pretty right wing. They love finding reasons to cut social programs. Then when on a longer term this causes problems they’ll blame it on everything other than admitting that social programs can actually be a cheap way to do things.

      Well, it was done by someone who doesn’t live there.

      Plus it was a former military member, as such, tend to be more supportive of military spending.

      I hopefully didn’t suggest that the video is perfect.

      It was more than I had seen regarding western EU nations and their complimentary efforts/spending.

      There will likely never be consensus on a nation’s spending. Best we can hope for is not too ridiculous…😀
