That's exactly what you get when you don't punch the bully back. Russia broke the well defined post WW2 rule. It was a pretty simple rule too.... Don't try to rob your neighbour's land.

They should not be rewarded in any way for it. If anything they already have been.

Very first thought was "surely that's treason".

I must look up the legal definition.

“Even if the U.S. continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make economic sense and will become a joke in the history of world economy,” the ministry said in a statement,

Very concisely put. We're at that point. Trade is effectively shut down at this point between the two. My limited understanding is that on the US side this will hit farmers the hardest.

Guess we're going to see a flood of cheap Chinese stuff in every other market in the world too soon.

Is that house arrest?

Thank you.

Could someone tell me how she was able to walk out of the court having been sentenced to prison?

"I take him at his word in this sense"

That's the problem right there. Dope. His word is worth less than the air used to create it. His MO is literally to lull people into a false sense of security then rob or kill them.

Some countries have a grandparents rule if that's any use to you. Ireland is one.

My understanding is that any protections like that only apply to citizens while at the border and not foreigners looking to travel.

It was a reasonable question given you didn't know. The oul down vote pile on was a bit much IMO but here we are.

There was supposed to be an agreement to stop hitting both types of infrastructure but only in the last day or so is my understanding.

This is far more likely to be media bias.

Yeah the story of the German girl it happened to around the same time included her talking about a Spanish lad in the cell with her for the same thing.

Not saying it wasn't reported on in Spain but I didn't see his case anywhere in the news.

It did happen to an Irish girl too last month. Fortunately we've fairly decent relations with the US but unfortunately it didn't sound like her treatment was any better than this tbh.
