I've been saying for years that NATO should state that any attacks near its borders are a red line. Any aerial attacks on Lviv should have triggered NATO response and deployment of troops in Ukraine to provide air cover for territories close to NATO borders. This is exactly why. If you let Russia attack Lviv they will eventually attack NATO. Sadly they didn't care enough about the war to do anything. Will see if this changes now.

If those people are able to organize peaceful elections now and the military will not get involved it will be truly amazing achievement and an inspiration for the rest of the world.
Interesting. I did some searching and I found couple of weird kits (like here's an electric motor and a pedal) but no opinions from people that actually used it or news for known websites. For me it looks like DIY electric car kits misleadingly labeled as "conversion kit" but maybe I'm wrong. Have seen someone actually building a hybrid car with such a kit?
So some wise and just leader will take over now and fix everything... right?
Upgrade kits. Where are you doing to fit the battery? It's super heavy, it would move center of gravity if you don't put it very low. To connect electric engine you would have to change shitload of other parts. How would you install regenerative breaks? Even if you somehow figure it out you would only be left with original body and seats. It wouldn't make financial sense.
Yeah, that's not possible.
It is extremely polarized but it's not about elections. Couple examples of what the president is doing now:
- the constitution is clear that the government (so the Prime Minister and his staff) is responsible for foreign policy. When the president goes abroad he should get his instructions from the government and be accompanied by someone from the government. President ignored this before meeting Trump. He's basically trying to run parallel foreign policy which is crazy dangerous and damaging
- new judges have to be swear in before the president. it's just a ceremony but the president decided he will not swear in judges he doesn't like
- same with ambassadors. according to the constitution those are nominated by the gov but the president decided he will only swear in those he approves
He's basically using weak points of the constitution (which admittedly is simply badly written) to derail the government and is trying to rule in parallel where possible even though his post was designed as a purely ceremonial one.
Loads of countries have royal families. I said many times that it's not a stupid model and latest events in Poland only confirm this.
Long story short: Polish president has mostly decorative role but current far-right guy is now illegally usurping powers that are constitutionally not his and conspiring with Trump behind the government's back.
In monarchies the King/Queen have pretty much the same role but their position is so weak that they simply smile and follow the orders. They have a lot to lose and nothing to gain.
- Daddy, what did you do at work today?
- I arrested a granny because she said starving children to death is bad.
Yes but if they stop breaking the rules those profit will not fall to $0.
What about Israel?
