I know zero about boots, why are they so bad? I mean, they LOOK like they are just all for show, but what specifically about them makes them so shite?

They're a lot bigger than your foot, so you don't truly know where your feet are with them on so its a lot easier to trip over things. And I'm talking about walking about a club or just getting in and out of your house. Imagine running around an active warzone, you'd be constantly face planting.

OK, I have to admit that I've never worn them so I am making some assumptions here. But making a good hiking shoe (or a combat boot) is a science in all its own, and I kind of assume Prada aren't experts in the field.

These boots look extremely uncomfortable and poorly suited for any kind of off road use.



The shape of the sole looks very awkward, those huge loving teeth look like they give you zero traction and the boot in general looks cramped. You want a durable, light weight and flexible sole (this does not look like it) and good ankle support (hard to say?). All those weird extra side bits also look like a nightmare in any kind of rocky or clumpy terrain, because they'll trip you up, turn your ankle or make it harder to find good purchase.

For comparison, this is the M05 service boot the Finnish Defence Force currently use:

I don't know why this is being re-reported, France supplied these some time ago, and the SCALP variant has already been used judging by some of the debris photos knocking around on Telegram.

As for Turkey joining the EU, aside from the Armenian Genocide, recognising Cypriot independence, having an independent central bank, I think the real deal breaker last time was the passing of a load of nutty laws, like the offence of insulting the presidency. There are multiple journalists, political rivals, and civil servants who are serving prison sentences for criticizing Erdogan, and there are other laws that have been passed which are totally incompatible with EU law (even though I think Poland and Hungary now have similar poo poo on the books.) He's been antagonizing Greece (I'm sure it's 2 way to an extent) over territorial claims in the Aegean, illegal drilling for gas, and Greece obviously have to sign off on Turkish accession.

Saying they are going to restart talks is a bit like giving Charles Manson parole hearings. Everyone sits there and listens, and goes through the motions, but they all know he isn't getting out.

re: France sending missiles to Ukraine

Russia was quick to condemn the French move, describing it as "erroneous".

"This will force us to take countermeasures," warned President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

What will you do Peskov? Another disaster attack in Adiivka? Missile a hospital maybe? Kidnap some kids?

I think he realistically knows Turkey isn't getting into the EU anytime soon. There's most certainly another angle, such as hoping a closer relationship will lead to more economic assistance/partnerships, hoping it will lead to more arms sales in both directions, hoping it will lead to extraditions of Turkish dissidents, hoping the expectation of future reform will reassure the shaky Turkish economy and markets, hoping Turkish liberals will be pacified by dangling a (distant) dream of EU membership, etc.

Plus when his domestic political situation looks shaky again at some point in the future? Well then he can once again turn around and beat the drum of nationalist populism, spinning a narrative of treacherous, racist Westerners betraying sweet innocent Turkey, and going back on their ironclad promises to admit them to the EU. As seen in Russia, a central theme throughout Putinist propaganda is that sweet innocent Russia was betrayed by the West after the Soviet Union fell ("NATO gave ironclad written guarantees it would never expand", etc), ethno-nationalist leaders love rewriting history and promulgating narratives that paint their country and people as betrayed victims.
