I'm happy Starmer limited the use for defensive purposes, but maybe even that was too much.

Yes that is the problem, Trump is 100% transactional, he stands for nothing but what benefits him. He has absolutely zero morals.

Nato intervened when Serbian forces committed genocide against the Bosnians.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_War

the July 1995 Srebrenica massacre later became iconic of the conflict. The massacre of over 8,000 Bosniak males by Serb forces

That's when NATO decided to intervene.

That was a humanitarian intervention to STOP a genocide.
I bet most were happy that the Serbians were reigned in. Even many Serbians.

NATO has intervened in situations where they had a UN mandate.

As Trump said about Starmer:

I guess our relationship isn't what it used to be.

You are goddam right it isn't you malignant sociopath. And it's all 100% your fault, and the Americans that voted for you twice!

Fighting Israel's war

But they (USA) can't help Ukraine, a democracy that has been absolutely non hostile, gave up their nukes on a promise of help if invaded, and was attacked by Russia that is clearly an enemy to USA, the west and democracy. And now USA won't help Ukraine anyway?!

But they can help Israel against a country that was willing to negotiate?!

USA is a despicable country, that has abandoned all values and their peaceful allies. To support a regime that has been extremely hostile towards their neighbors for more than half a century, and is committing genocide in Gaza. That's the one USA chooses to help!

I wonder how many times Israel has said thank you?

That's a possibility too.

The Citroen C3 electric and the BYD Dolphin are the cheapest electric I could find here in Denmark. But unfortunately we don't have good charts for that for some reason, so there may exist cheaper options.
But the Fiat 500 is nolonger available, the same with Dacia that also made a cheap EV, and Seat made the MII I think it was called, which is also nolonger available.

The Opel you refer to is also Stelantis, the exact same concept as both Ami and Toppolino. The difference may be that Opel is traditionally a German made brand.
Kind of like Vauxhall are cheaper in UK than the same car under the Opel Brand.

If these were availbale here for 8400€ it would be a completely different story, and there is little reason why they should be more expensive here, AFAIK there is no tax apart from sales tax on these small "microcars" or even a small normal car when it's an EV.

Starmer had issued his strongest rebuke yet of Trump’s action in Iran, saying the UK did not believe in “regime change from the skies”

Fuck yes. I had a bad feeling when USA was allowed to use UK bases in the region for "defense".
But it turns out he was actually serious. Hurray for that, let USA fix their own mess for once.

We all remember the mistakes of Iraq, and we have learned those lessons. Any UK actions must always have a lawful basis,

Absolutely fucking YES! to this too. We don't need to repeat of the illegal invasion of Iraq based on false US intelligence.
Apart from that Trump didn't even try to make a case for plausible deniability.

I'm not from UK, when I say we, I mean Europe and NATO. The British can be proud of their PM today. 👍 😀

No the cheapest electric are not available PT for some reason?
The cheapest currently is the Citroen C3 electric at 140.000,- DKK.
But then you get 3 times the range, a proper 4 seater, proper engine of 113 HP. and with 135 km/h the capability to actually drive the allowed speed on out highest speed roads. And it can charge at 11 kWh on a homecharger or 100 kWh on a fast charger.
And it actually has proper doors! And proper heater, and way way better safety.
The BYD Dolphin Surf is the same price, and has a top speed of 150 km/h.

There is simply no comparison between the real cars and the Fiat Topolino or Ami 1 they are nothing more than a moped that requires a drivers license here. I think the only difference from one that doesn't require a license is that they are very slightly wider. I must admit I'm surprised these can even be legally registered as cars? They lack several safety features that are mandatory for cars.

At half the price they would be cool, they are probably fun to drive, if the weather isn't bad.

There is probably zero chance Switzerland will join EU anytime soon. But cooperation between us is still good.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago

It's absolutely a bargain, they are joining a system the member states pay for, so it's fair that they have to pay something.
And for Switzerland this is peanuts for having access to the single market.

I'm not complaining, I think it's absolutely great that Switzerland and EU are working together. Just like er do with Norway, and UK/EU relations are also improving fast currently. Thumb up all around.

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.

Anna Danylchuk:

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.

 

1: 12.992 electric cars sold, the most electric cars sold in one month.
2: 91% market share with private buyers.

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.
