  • Not sure what you’re fighting me about - I can tell you for a fact that we had local cronies ( in Cluj or Constanta for example ) get away scot-free after taking people’s advance payments on new apartment complexes, never building anything and just delaying proceedings until the trial closed. Or politicians’ sons that got away with vehicular manslaughter and DUIs simply because of influence. Now I don’t know how much influence the tates have, but at the very least they could’ve hired competent local attorneys that know how to game the system. And the justice system here is laughably corrupt.






  • He said Sunday he expects criticism from the West of his conversation with Putin, but stated that “Serbia is a sovereign country which makes its own decisions.”

    He also thanked Russia “for providing sufficient quantities of gas for Serbia at favorable prices.”

    Ironic lol. Well placed paragraphs AP. And congratulations Serbia, you’re on the path to achieve that greatest honor of overtaking belarus in becoming russia’s top bitch.

    Still, I get why vucic is playing at both ends, Serbia is a hard country to run, and so far they’ve been ok-ish despite not having advantages like being in the EU, Schengen or the EEA.

    Belgrade’s nationalist authorities marked the liberation date with a display of the pro-Russian sentiment, with thousands marching through Belgrade waving Russian flags and chanting slogans.

    This I don’t get though. For a nationalist government supported by nationalist serbs you’d think they noticed by now how russia treats their neighbors and vassals. If the russian border was on the Danube, you’d bet your sweet nationalist asses they would invade Serbia, because that’s what russia has always done. They just take shit.




  • What are you going to do with billionaires CEOs that are basically chinese/russian puppets? What about security elements that are “american software” but have leaked to the highest chinese bidder?

    How the hell are you going to enforce that no “chinese and russian software and hardware” make it into the cars? Its hilariously difficult to enforce it because its vague, and its vague because its not about national security but trade.

    We do need laws to prevent the inevitable abuse that comes with chinese cars but this particular ban reeks of bullshit.
