🗓️ Exactly one week ago to the hour, #Iran fell into digital darkness as authorities imposed a national internet blackout.

Through the following days Iranians continued to protest and demand liberty despite a draconian crackdown.

At 168 hours, data show the shutdown is ongoing.

You really can't compare and isolated incident (however despicable), to gunning down crowds with 50 cal

No doubt the regime is prepared to kill plenty of their countrymen, one has to keep in mind that if the protests fail, as many or more will be quietly murdered as a revenge/punishment

And if the EU continues on the same tracks, they might unfortunately be right

The Cz delegation rejected the participation in covering the gap in Ukr budget (the loudly announced 90bn), so there is some action that is contrary to the previous, favourable policy towards our Easter partners

IT is ridiculous that German institutions do not come forward and return these on their own initiative, and instead choose to benefit from Nazi crimes

Close acess by land to Kaliningrad from Bielorrússia...

This isn't really true though, they send the men on motorbikes, buggies etc to filter through the understrength Ukr front and attack from the rear. Russians are cruel, but not stupid. Saying otherwise diminishes the sacrifice many soldiers made to defend the civilized part of Europe

It always felt like an unresolved issue in Poland, memorandum or not. PiS utilized (with malign intent) what was already there

I never heard a person describing what happened in Poland as a gradual process, industries were uprooted, fortunes were made and plenty were forced to emigrate. Regions were reeling from Balcerowicz's reforms for decades

We are the Florida of Europe
