They can, and they might (it was in the air the previous EU summit but didn't happen) but they would rather avoid doing it because it kind of defeats the purpose of the whole EU.

If the EU is good at some stuff, but being lovely at things like telling Orban to go gently caress himself, perhaps defeating the purpose now and again is a good thing.

The purpose of the whole EU is to have its interests defeated by a lovely east European strongman and it's very successful at it.

Hungary can only stall and piss everyone off, they get some concessions but get hosed in the long term.

France will deliver 40 storm shadows to Ukraine.
I wish it was a fuckload instead, but it's better than none, and it seems Ukrainians inflict just maximum combo damage when using those.

Speaking of the toad Orban, he seems to have run into some trouble.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is a warning to Orban to get back in line.

Similarly, the German CDU/Green coalition intends to bring the issue of Taurus deliveries to a vote tomorrow, so maybe those will finally get sent soon.

In russia, a colonel was jailed for six years "for the poor protection of the Kerch Bridge from UAVs ," — russian media.

Sergey Volkov was also banned from holding public office for two years. The convict was found guilty of exceeding his authority, which caused serious consequences. Volkov did not admit his guilt.

just form a new international body called totally not the EU, every EU member except Hungary quits and redirects all their EU contributions to totally not the EU, but they also add a clause saying a 2/3 majority is enough to put a misbehaving member on ignore

I guess they have to rent some event venue to conduct business as long as Hungary squats in the existing EU buildings out of spite

There is no such thing as a CDU/Green coalition at the federal level. The Christian Democrats are in the opposition, while the Greens form the governing coalition together with the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Liberal FDP. While there is indeed a vote set for today, and some members of the governing coalition might even vote for delivering Taurus, it would not be binding for the government.

After reviewing a lot of satellite footage I can say that Russia's artillery depot's are at 10-20% stock remaining.some of the depots are slowly being retaken by nature if that says anything about how much they expect to refill the depots.

aw, I completely missed that it would be nonbinding. Thanks for the clarification, I don't know enough about German politics so I just ran with what I read, I should try to get more informed about that.

We currently have a rainbow coalition of

-Greens who wanted to force every German property owner to rip out oil&gas heating within the decade, and lost badly. As consolation price, those stupid plastic tethers on plastic bottle caps are now a federal mandate.
They can't figure out why they've been getting slaughtered in every recent election.

-Reds, mostly known for their gormless, potato-faced leaders who get exposed for faked and copypasted masters' dissertations.

-yellow: some old guys talking about free markets, but really they're paid shills for whatever lobby needs something.
It's unlikely to survive the year imho.
