quote:

Any EU sanctions on Russia should not hit energy: Italian PM

Any eventual sanctions imposed on Russia by the European Union should not include energy imports, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi has said.

Draghi told reporters that the EU was studying various sanctions options if Russia pushes ahead with a feared invasion of Ukraine.

Although Draghi said it was important to avoid sanctions on the energy sector, he added that the government was looking into other possible gas supplies should imports from Russia be hit due to any conflict.

Italy is a no on sanctioning Russian energy exports.

With air nations like Russia you always have to be vigilant once they've researched cloud trapeze. Ukraine should be trying to patrol out thug infiltrators.

the EE thread has all time bad moderation. China thread has mostly reverted to normal bad. us ce thread has complete agro psychos running the place as usual and if you disagree with them even mildly the mods give you a mod challenge.

the big story here is that there is something structural with dnd that turns even ordinary outsiders into terrible dnd mods that reinforce the badness in a matter of weeks

bringing in new mods (ie. koos) temporarily disrupts this negative feedback cycle, but again you’re throwing one good apple into a barrel of rotting apples. it all turns back to poo poo very quickly.

you can’t fix a rotting foundation piecemeal. retire the entire current mod team at the same time, give them a gold star and a pat on the head, and start fresh. change the forum name too, just to make clear it’s a fresh start for everyone. call it a hugbox or call it a forum for open debate, and stick with it. it can’t be both.

oh I agree it's just the EU consistently gives the impression none of the states bother to talk to each other and they're all pulling a million different ways. Kinda makes the whole thing seem unstable which is bad when there's a hundred different cryptofash organisations that very much want the whole thing to collapse.

Has the EU come out strongly against Russian "aggression"? I thought Germany doesn't give a gently caress.

Germany has come out and said that they support freezing to death if russia invades Ukraine but at the same time are probably behind the scenes with the french taking up their side in disputes regarding Minsk agreements.

But who knows what happens when all the chips are down what will actually happen.

RT already reported on the later article because it looks like an obvious win for Russia.

Edit:

This author is cited as one of the sources? So kind of old news I guess https://direct.mit.edu/isec/article/40/4/7/12126/Deal-or-No-Deal-The-End-of-the-Cold-War-and-the-U

Here's the take on today's events by a guy who was a RWN guest. So you know he's not a blob journalist. Seems plausible, though hard to imagine there's anything that would get Zelensky to implement Minsk.

They can't delay things forever, it's very costly to commit that many troops and materiel, and if Putin already committed to war he's not going to embarrass himself internally by cancelling the whole thing just because he got called out on it

his best bet is to do what invaders have always done in modern times, paper the invasion over with propaganda and hope credulous people eat it

Why is it the dumbest posters think they're sneaking anything by through acting coy & ironic, then the minute they think things are going their way it's all mask off?

Profound lack of trigger discipline, IMO. I'd never trust you on the battlefield.
