CAVOK@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Officers shoot rubber bullet at reporter for "9 News Austraila" reporting in downtown LA12·5 days agoSo that’s reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and incompetence instead.
The shooter should still be prosecuted.

That cop should be prosecuted.

CAVOK@lemmy.worldOPto Europe@feddit.org•Nordic parents have it great—but birth rates are still fallingEnglish122·8 days agoI’d say yes and no. The strain on the planet would lessen for sure. But then we have the dependency ratio, meaning the amount of people in work related to those out of work, like children, the elderly, disabled etc.
This are getting worse in every European country. More babies won’t fix it, at least not in the short term but it’ll lessen the impact in about 20 years.
To fix the dependency ratio you either drasticly reduce the welfare state, increase the retirement age, raise taxes, or accept a lot of immigrants. Any of those options appealing to the general public you think?
Which is why there’s an archive link as well.

Basically it’s about promoting an extreme version of Islam, mostly funded by countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
CAVOK@lemmy.worldto Europe@feddit.org•I may be new here, but why is c/Europe all about IsraelEnglish91·23 days agoNot sure. English isn’t my first language. I interpret it as shots in the general direction of the diplomats, not specifically aimed at. I could be wrong.
CAVOK@lemmy.worldto Europe@feddit.org•I may be new here, but why is c/Europe all about IsraelEnglish591·23 days agoI usually don’t post stuff about Israel or the Gaza war because I don’t know enough about it to have an informed opinion, but when EU diplomats gets shot at, that’s news that’s related to Europe imho.
And no, just because I don’t have an informed opinion doesn’t mean I support either side in the conflict. I do however would like the killing of civilians to stop.
Fuck the piss shitting motherfucking, cocksucking cunt that uses the word ‘unalive’. Tits!

CAVOK@lemmy.worldOPto Europe@feddit.org•Turkey's crackdown on dissent disrupts EU-Turkey relations: Europe in difficult balancing actEnglish3·28 days ago“Business as usual with Turkey cannot continue.” That was the message MEPs sent when they voted on a report about Turkey’s EU accession process on May 7 in Strasbourg. Amid a crackdown on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s political rivals as well as on protesters, MEPs said that EU membership talks with Turkey cannot be restarted in the current circumstances. At the same time, the European Union does not want to shut the door on Turkey completely, as Ankara remains a significant partner within NATO and its interests overlap with the EU’s in Ukraine.
So how should the EU stand up for human rights while still pursuing some form of realpolitik? We debate that question with our panel of MEPs in Strasbourg.
