To be precise, picture is showing Americas

Good points. However I want to point out that those technologies were not given free, yes some old soviet stuff left but investments have to been made. Also I’m not sure about ownership, repots I found says that 94% of farmland is not owned but land-leased. Ukraine farms have less fragmentation for sure. People especially elderly owning piece of bigger farmland hire enterprises to grow crops for a cut on their land. Maybe EU need to focus on investments which benefit industry not individuals. I see a lot of reports about direct support but close to nothing about tech, logistics, cooperatives and defragmentation. Romania is one example but I never saw Romanian farmers being as loud as French. France’s territory is 27% arable land (170000 km2). Sounds big enough to improve at scale.

I’m not saying others can be as competitive as Ukraine but it’s shortsighted to say “they have more X than us so we won’t let them in”. I’d think one would want to get X to benefit themselves.

The entire point of EU is to erase visible and invisible borders. We should not care about industries within countries, but within the EU. If there is area with better farmland in France, does French farmer from across the country protest or move to better place? German farmer thinks Ukraine farming more competitive - accept Ukraine into EU, move to Ukraine - profit. That’s what people in other industries do.

If it’s fear of exit and loosing agricultural capacity within EU - sign additional clause with Ukraine to give special residency and farming guarantees for some 50 years.

People need to stop being nationalists. Better be smart in cooperation and negotiations.

How come EU farmers need tax breaks, subsidies and be closed caste and still produce with barely competitive prices when one of the poorest countries in Europe produces cheaper? Okay I understand food standard maybe not same but same standard will apply if UA joins. Somehow I doubt prices will jump drastically

What do you mean guess? Drones are not random weather effect. Ukraine knows its targets and ship full of their own grain is not on the list for sure. Let’s think who else sends drone all day everyday in that part of the world, oh it’s Russia, innit?

I mean okay, maybe it was not nice. From what I got it was misunderstanding. But does it justify escalating it? Like what exactly SK looses here? I’m sure NK spy’s knew it already if that’s the concern.

Yeah, I’m not sure what is the point. Just gives small man more propaganda material

Since when it’s acceptable for politicians, not just some politicians but presidents use such language

Annual oil imports of EU is around 520 million tons per year. US exports 15% of EU oil. 520/2*0.15 = 39 mega tons of import through out 180 days. I think we will be much better off releasing these 19 mT domestically through out 90 days to dampen prices spike caused by US export ban. Meanwhile urgently sign additional deals with adults like Norwegians and say Azerbaijan to increase imports. Price will still go up but at least we won’t loose 15% of supply in one day and have time to work it through.

Let orange pedo deal with domestic aftermath himself. Maybe he should ask Putin to buy him more mansions so that he stops crying.

All religions are extremists organizations and mafia groups. Good start, now ban crosses and underaged from preaches.

Did everyone forgot we already have idea and movement of EF https://federalists.eu/

All US president can do is order pew pew in Middle East. Most powerful people in the world are CEO of BlackRock and Mossad Director. Politicians are mostly puppets

This is kremlin propaganda. Ukrainians didn’t want to join NATO until Russia poked its nose. Maidan of 2013 was about getting closer to EU, not NATO. Btw, that’s why it’s called Euromaidan, not Natomaidan. At that moment only 33% Ukrainians wanted to join NATO. NATO became relevant after Russia annexed Crimea in the Spring of 2014, only after that, in November 2014 over 50% wanted to join NATO. Which is kinda “what did you expected moment” when one of your supposed security guarantor waving finger at another supposed guarantor in response of sovereignty and territorial integrity violation.

Neither UA nor EU needs their garbage mindset to dilute ours. Let’s not fall same imperialistic path. Put them in place, isolate, let few of their generations pass. They will either rot down completely to the point they fall apart or wake up

Let’s build some useless statue in the middle of nowhere. What did I expect from millionaire pope anyway, useful infrastructure?

The moment I see GPD as measure I close the article. Means nothing for average Kowalski

31% of webn is tech. It’s a good ride so far but too sketchy to me. There is stoxx 600 which is still gives good ROI, European and has only 8% of tech.

That’s what makes me mad about EU. Seems like they opted for low fine in hope to not trigger tariffs circus, but clown just can’t get over it. They should’ve slapped max fine which would be 40 times bigger
