Yes. They are monitoring it and reacting appropriately. If it doesn’t work they will pull back and try again.

But their actions are not being dictated by the situation in Italy or France. Likewise, Montana should not take action based on what is going on in New York.

I think the only important fact is that they wanted to.

Being thwarted, partially, this time, for the moment, in one location, doesn't change anything.

Do you deny the essential assertion that states seek to surveil, and get what they want? Does this speedbump change that?


They should definetly take action and comply asap since it puts delicate but biggest democracy is danger. As if they haven't learned anything from the 4 years.

Why do they need to act any different? Their current tactics are working very well.

The article states that beligum is not taking any measures at all. So the gov is handling the threat by inaction?

Not strong enough, they don't put their moneyed folks and multinational CEOs as the stakeholder in the state. I'm sure they will be more level headed than some jaded Junkers. Pretty sure they would understand that it's a waste of wealth and time to cater some commotion in the Balkan.

Yes, I know. They aren't going to change that position voluntarily. I strongly suspect that state intervention is inevitable.

Their chances of success are much higher next time. An “unrest detector” won’t be deployed to preserve democracies.

If they aren’t, then they can’t claim to be acting in the best interests of the country.

It’s not better to force a default than to accept the status quo and wait until they are voted back into power.


True and I fully support them, unfortunately there seems to be complicit inaction in the government and they want this to fester.

Why? Cause they told the western states correctly to get their shit together, got ignored for month and then people tried to blame it on a single statement which was redacted two days later to make it seem like the WHO told them to do nothing?

Perhaps, they are stalling until political leadership can suggest an angle to take on the events.

They haven't declared an emergency to have powers.. Yet.

They likely were hoping for that, but I think this decision was tactical based on the frontline degrading over the past couple weeks, not reacting to the election.

They've been prepping defenses on the left bank for most of a month.


The government is currently trying to push the boundaries and is waiting to see what happens.

I personally feel that mullvad would just shut down if they felt pressure like that from a state actor. I believe they said as much.

its a holding action...not sustainable...hopefully, they'll pull out of this heavy-handed tailspin they've been in the past year...but...this behavior is mostly driven by fear of problems with the wide economic divides and its going to be a long time before things get better on that front...so no telling where this all leads.

I don't see policy moving in that direction as a result of this incident. The leaders are happy to find alternative sources to buy oil from.

Seems like they've decided what to do but can't agree how to do it. I wish them luck figuring it out. To an outsider this whole thing has seemed like a giant folly from the beginning, but what do I know.

Though it hasn’t happened yet, and there is no real plan and total disarray. It’s not a reassuring situation.
