There are big money donors, which are not billionaires. The most common one are unions.
Not at all. The judges appointed by the opposition party, protect the laws made by the opposition party, when they were in government. This way the government can not just ignore those laws. So most countries have very long term limits for judges to deal with that. Hence a single government can not just stack the courts. Term limits are used, so no single government just happens to be able to appoint a lot more judges then usual. However even with the term limit being death, a court like the US supreme court has judges appointed by five different presidents for example.
Exactly you can use the railing to hang on the outside. Greater speed and much more fun.
Because in Europe you are pretty much always on or near somebodies property.
The Bin Laden group is currently working on building the tallest building in the world in Saudi Arabia right now.
This is key. The narrative: "The right wing takes away your workers rights and blaims migrants on it" actually works to convince other people, since it is in fact true.
The Brazilian Gripens were $86million per plane. Sweden just gave Ukraine a $400million military aid package. They are also an EU member and that allows them to use EU military funds for EU made weapons. So you probably could get 10planes or so going to Ukraine.
Obviously weapons matter as well, but those are not Swedish made, but German and American. No reason the US can not finance some Sidewinders for Ukraine for example.
Gripen is designed to be easy to maintain and use roads as runways, which makes it better for Ukraine then F16. However the production line is not as strong and most users will not send theirs to Ukraine. The only NATO users are Sweden, Czechia and Hungary. Hungary is not going to send any and Czechia has 14 leased ones. So only Sweden might actually be able to spare some.
And this is actually a problem in Italy, where a lot of villages have very narrow streets, which make it impossible to fit through it with a wide car.
2months ago CovertCabal did a video counting the tanks Russia has left in storage. He came to 700 good conditioned tanks. Obviously Russia still has a lot more in service. However Oryx has Russian tank losses at 3368 tanks and the offical Ukranian estimates are at 8639 so even higher. The truth is probably somewhere between those two numbers.
However whatever it is, it shows that Russia just can not sustain those kinds of losses and they have to be more careful. Good news for Ukraine.
