Come on, dude, think a bit. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/serbia-hungary-austria-agree-bolster-fight-against-illegal-migrations-2022-11-16/

e:
tl;dr: We're starting to have joint police patrols on Macedonia's border, and are ending our visa free travel arrangements with a bunch of countries, up to and including India. Cuba is mentioned by name a lot. In "exchange", we allow Austria and Hungary to do what they needed a world war to try to achieve last time, having a sizeable police force in Serbia's teritorry enforcing the international politics of their super-national entity and they pay us a tiny bit of pocket money and we hasten the exile of a bunch of refugees stuck here.

Why am I supposed to give a crap about China's half-dozen tourist herders here again? Horrors of having a foreign police force acting here? Huh...

e2:
for the 'serbia strong' minded: the countries that we are ending our visa free travel with happen to mostly be countries that never recognized Kosovo's independence

There was a 2010 survey by a woman about domestic violence, so I'm guessing that's what he's talking about.

idk what a survey has to do with a referendum about DV laws tho. our DV laws are fine (enforcement is obviously a completely different issue), there have been no refs about it lol. the lady he's talking about is probably the PM that was in office in 13-14 during his 2nd term

the narrative over here is that her govt got obama/dems to give us monies and then they just fed him some bullshit story about how it was spent lmfao

Not only is Danish rail infrastructure dependent on an app, the public login solution that's used for literally everything—medical records, banking, insurance, legal correspondence, prescriptions, online credit card purchases, everything—had a major breakdown recently that affected 30% of the userbase for several days. Turns out the company that runs it, which was coincidentally sold to an American private equity firm some years ago, is a total clown show. They hadn't tested recovery procedures for years and hadn't implemented critical redundancies, and that's just from the parts of the report that weren't confidential.

don't worry guys, when the americans control the key points of infrastructure that make your state run it's called freedom and democracy, actually, and the free market would never pull the rug out from under us so why do you worry about uneconomical and authoritarian problems like 'making our state run on its own terms'

When the Social Democrats sold control of the national energy grid to Goldman Sachs, the latter made thinly veiled threats about how the grid might "become unreliable" if they weren't allowed to raise prices.

Speaking of, the Unity List were thrown out of negotiations and are now warning us that a government with the Liberals will be "worse than Corydon", the Finance Minister responsible for aforementioned sale who went on to consult for McKinsey, and they're probably right. Unfortunately they repeatedly refused to topple either of the Social Democrat governments, because then the Liberals would win, you see.
