You would lose that bank account. They despise France and the rest of the West for reasons that has nothing to do with Russia. Russia is taking advantage of that hate.
I think there are plenty of areas where the EU says one thing and does another, but in this case they purely object to a death penalty, which is the universal EU stance.
And the western world could learn a thing or two about what punishments for financial crimes should be. Instead of a slap on the wrist and a fine, it will make others stop and think before doing the same again in Vietnam.
I'm firmly against the death penalty and I hope that the appeal court overturns it and makes it life without parole, but when I see proper punishment for those that ruin millions of lives by stealing money, I feel envy.
I'm really wondering if accidents like this happened all the time and the press just started to highlight it more often or if Boeing planes are actually just falling apart after take off...
Both. Small issues always happened that went unreported by corporate media, but the frequency and severity increased exponentially lately. The real catalyst was the 1997 merger. McDonnell Douglas basically bought Boeing with its own money, since all the Boeing engineers that had management positions were fired or demoted and McDonnell Douglas executives moved into executives positions in Boeing. So it went from an engineer focused company to stocks are the only metric that matters company.
The reason for the issues not cropping up immediately is that airlines still used older places, since manufacturing a new plane takes a long time. And then different variants gets built and verified over time. Boeing MAX lineup, is the first real lineup that was built without old engineers and their focus on safety.
Haven't NATO forces been doing something similar recently? At least I've heard of a UK sub failing to launch a missile in a test recently.
I get it that this is saber rattling, but these tests are ideally regular so everyone - both you and your enemies - know your nukes work. I wonder if Russia's nukes work? I wonder if they are wondering that too?
Even if half of Russias nukes don't work they still have enough to destroy the entire planet 10 times over. People like Macron need a reminder why threatening a ground invasion is a bad idea.
To be honest, if France put soldiers into Ukraine, you could make the same argument the other way.
Continuing the war against Ukraine is a very bad idea since France has nukes, and they might do tactical strikes against Russian formations, so it's better to get out of France's way. France has enough nukes to destroy the planet 10 times over, or at least enough to destroy Moscow 100 times over, for sure.
Either way, people should stop killing people, Russian soldiers should stay in Russia.
Spain is a particularly interesting one. They're not normally too keen on recognising any sort of breakaway region so as not to legitimise the Catalan independence movement. Take a look at a map of recognition of Kosovo for an example. Not that I'm complaining by any means; it's a welcome surprise
While I don't agree with illegal immigration, it's good to see that at least the ones that have kept their head down, contributed to society and community, and have essentially made themselves part of us at least have the option to make it official without having to split up their family in the meantime.
