Worldwide, democracy has regressed to its lowest levels since the mid-1970s

I've been saying over and over again here, that it's generally been going backwards since the 70's. This goes for democracy and respect for human rights and minorities.

And many people here simply don't believe it. (I'm guessing younger ones)

All five Nordic countries are in the top six

Also among the least religious in the world! Maybe religion isn't really helping?

In fourth place is Costa Rica

Congratulations to Costa Rica, a surprising mix with a country that is very different than the other countries in the top.

PS:
The reason USA isn't in the top, is probably that they are so goddam tired of winning.

It's also anti democratic. Giving a few people that much power, is 100% against democratic principles.
It is however perfectly in line with an oligarchy dictatorship.

Spain is seriously on a roll lately. 👍 😎

2nd day in a row with very high number of lost personnel, and today there are zero tanks! And very little equipment again.
that's 3230 in 2 days, Russia has around 700.000 personnel in Ukraine, so 0,5% in just 2 days, would mean ALL current Russian forces would be gone in 200 days!
And this is at a time, where Russia is having a hard time recruiting new troops, because they are running out of money.

This tax is stupid IMO, it shouldn't be one time, but 1% every year.
I'll take the 5% though, better than nothing.

If Cuba hadn't been actively sabotaged by USA for more than half a century, I'm sure it would be a way better country to live in.

Happy to see this, I was just saying to my wife that I wondered why no body was sending oil to Cuba as humanitarian aid?
The way USA has treated Cuba for more than half a century is a crime against humanity.
USA is behaving so badly towards Cuba, during the cold war, USA even spend billions manipulating global markets Cuba was depending on for exports, and AFAIK Cuba did never do anything to USA to deserve this insane wrath from USA.
Trump holding the people and children of Cuba hostage to break them is disgusting.

It used to be a flawed democracy, now it's a flawed dictatorship.

Those were not articles, and for that reason can't be posted here.
One source I think was Jake Broe on Youtube a military analyst, and I think the other was an interview with Jiang Xueqin. A professor in game theory, who predicted that Trump would start a war against Iran 2 years ago, and also predicted that USA would lose, which they in many ways are.
One thing is that these are not mainstream outlets, and sometimes such details can only be learned, from sources that go in depth with specific issues.
The story in daily mail is not so much reporting on the news from Dubai, but more reporting on something that happened to British people living abroad. But the story still has value, despite it's a different angle.

If you make a search for it, you will find hundreds of results on the issue, but it hasn't reached major outlets yet, maybe because Trump has threatened media with penalties for reporting anything negative from the war, and calls it treason!?! So it is not without risk reporting this by a major channel in USA. Also Ellison an insane Nazi family controls a lot of American media.

Yes, that should b pretty simple one would think.

Because I've seen the key facts corroborated from 2 other sources already before reading this article. From news sources that specialize in the Iran war.

My comment that I can't see if I am not logged in to Youtube:

@buffalox8492 for 2 timer siden (redigeret) How is that piece of sh*t car street legal in Norway?
The design conflicts with standards that protect soft/vulnerable road users as well as other cars and the driver, The sharp edges are a hazard to soft traffic, and, the extreme rigidity lacking crumbling zones and weight of the car is an insane danger to everybody, even including the driver. And there are numerous safety issues with the technology that you depend on to drive it.and something as simple as the lights on the car are simply designed wrong for safety!
I thought Norway observed EU standards, but apparently not. Shame on them for allowing this car on their roads. Norwegians should demand to have it removed ASAP! For their own safety. Be warned, This is probably the worst most dangerous car to drive in modern times!

This video explains some of the problems that make it illegal in UK:

Across its full range, Tesla sold just 83 vehicles in total in January 2026, marking an 88 percent decline compared to the same period last year.

With little innovation and lacking new models, Tesla has decided to cut prices again, this time the price of the model 3 is cut by 10%.

This may be to regain some of the lost marketshare. But it may also be because they simply have too much stock.
Cutting production is expensive, and obviously producing just to stockpile unsold products is expensive too.

I have no doubt that this price cut is an act of desperation, not a result of being competitive. Tesla is losing money no matter if they cut production or they cut the prices or they stock up on unsold product.

Whichever is the case, I had a good laugh that the Swasticars are so hard to sell Tesla has to cut prices yet again, and that's despite inflation.

Allegedly the profitability on a Tesla car was recently estimated at just 2%, so cutting the price by 10% is going to hurt for them.

Here's a link to a story about it by a major news outlet in Denmark:

Anton Gerashchenko on Bluesky story about a strike at a nuclear plant with documentation:

The post contains video from the situation.

As I've been posting many times before, many workers in Russia are behind on payments. People working in factories being 3 months behind is not uncommon.
Anna from Ukraine explains the situation here. She is a good source IMO, because her English is excellent, and being Ukrainian she understands Russian, and makes frequent news updates about the Ukrainian war from various perspectives.

Inside Russia on youtube was first to report on the Russian population beginning to have had enough to a degree they are actually beginning to complain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoR5_bJywWQ

I've claimed before I don't think Putin will last through the winter, and I see this as the first signs that the Russian people is about to have had enough.
The story reported by Anna and Gerashchenko tells that the workers are at least 2 months behind on wages, they were promised transportation to work, something that is important because of the lack of fuel, and public transport becoming unreliable. But they do not get the promised transportation. They were also promised 1 hot meal per day, but do not receive that either.
Finally in their homes, they are out of water and heat.

This is the economic and infrastructure collapse many have predicted was inevitable, that is now beginning to really show. And it isn't even really winter yet!

PS: The moderators removed my previous post with false accusations, so here it is posted again according to their demands.

FDM warns of errors in several models from Tesla, and FDM has now been successful by the Danish Road Safety Authority. FDM has previously described that there are several cases of significant veil in the rear suspension and in the steering column of the popular Model 3.

The Danish Road Safety Authority has stated that the motorists' interest organization, FDM, rightly did not approve two Tesla Model 3 by sight after the car owners had independently complained about the demand for omsyn.

FDM said in a statement.

In both cases, the sight results were due to "too much veil in bushings in rear-wheel suspension".

However, Tesla found no faults and thought the electric cars should have been approved, which led to complaints and the Traffic Agency's review. Many Teslas have "veil in the bushing"

The agency concludes that the cars had a significant veil and that the vision had been carried out correctly in both cases.

Earlier in the year, the FDM warned that there are many Teslas that have veils in bushings in the rear-wheel suspension and in the steering column. See also FDM comes with call for Tesla owners

Veils in rear suspensions mean that there is a looseness or abnormal movement in the parts that connect the car's rear wheel to the car itself.

This applies to both the Model 3 and Model Y. According to FDM, around 37,000 Model 3 and more than 40,000 Model Y have been registered in Denmark. The error is seen on newer cars

Usually you first see the problem on older cars, which have driven many kilometers, but FDM has seen several models with the error early in the life expectancy of the cars.

It creates doubts about the safety of cars, writes FDM, who has contacted Tesla to get the company to solve the problems. See also Tesla gets fined for flawed marketing

"We expect Tesla to help drivers, as it is not fair that the consumer has an additional cost of repair and possibly overhaul, because the car has a fault it shouldn't have," said Lone Otto, area manager in FDM's technical advice.

At the beginning of the year, FDM said that almost one in four Model 3 from the year 2020, which last year was for inspection, failed - among other things because of veils.

For other electric cars, the dump percentage was nine.
