No I meant the way people interact with each other. People in Budapest are the same, you actively have to ignore others to go about your way, too many scammers and weird people around. And also people fighting public transit vehicles.

But then a Serbian motorcyclist broke down a few weeks ago in the city and a bunch of locals made it their mission to get him the parts needed to continue his journey. Another occasion, a bus broke down, the passengers got off, and helped push it off the road to avoid a traffic jam.

I assume that’s just like every bigger city, right?

Ten years and counting here, fuck if anyone knows at this point. My personal (maybe a bit cynical) take is that it really doesn’t matter as the amount of coding skill you use maxes out in the first few years of your career (for 90% of us anyhow), after that cat herding skills and pragmatic system architecture is what’s important. It becomes more important to know what not to do rather than the opposite.

So it doesn’t really matter how fast you are at leetcode if you can navigate the particular brand of spaghetti your workplace is cooking, plus points if you are able and willing to grok new kinds so you can hop jobs because raises are so last century.

Yeah, unlike an outsourcing outfit an AI company won’t take the fall when given shit requirement and shit pay they deliver shit work.

You just described most European cities I lived in. What are other US cities like then?

Far be it from me to protect this idiot, but wasn’t the whole ruse he was trying to do aimed at getting the wind out of Israel’s sails by claiming he destroyed Iran’s nuclear capabilities?

And I really don’t know who leaked the BDA pics, but it would benefit Israel and the regime change band for his lie to fall apart, right?

It would be illegal for the govt to do so I guess. Why would it be legal for the org to do it if it’s specifically prohibited for individual officers?

The law should bind everyone, including the government.

When you have someone blow the double of the whole healthcare budget on Ukraine fearmongering, who has been supported by a practically unlimited EU budget, it becomes hard to campaign on Ukraine.

Magyar pledged to have a referendum on Ukraine joining, when the question actually comes up. I don’t know what else he can do right now, considering the situation.

Most Hungarians support the unconditional early joining of Ukraine BTW, and a lot more support it if conditions are kept.

They just approved funding to rearm Europe in the sense the EU military budget will surpass the US military budget, and all of it can only be spent domestically in the EU.

Now, do you have any sources of rape statistics by Nazis in Belarus, or by Americans in west-germany?

I guess the Belarusians do. About the Americans, I (and to be honest the whole country of Hungary) has no love lost for them either. Our family lost relatives in American bombings. One could say our country deserved it for going to war, but Hungary wasn’t really a free democratic country back then, it was at best a military dictatorship. You could also say Hungary is exploited by corporations today and has a bad case of neoliberalism, but that’s coming more from the Germans than the US. Fuck Merkel BTW.

My focus is on Russians because the troops raping and robbing throughout the land were ordered and supervised by Moscow. There is literally no difference between a Russian, an Ukrainian a Hungarian or an American with regards to whether they would rape people or rob people. Those people were also kids taken from home and sent against German machineguns to die. Btw I also don’t subscribe to the “human wave” BS if you want to know. The difference on whether an army will rape everything in sight or if they act as a “decent” occupying force is decided when an officer rapes someone, will it get overlooked, or will that person end up being shot. In the Red Army, it was mixed, and depended on their superior. Plenty of Red Army soldiers got executed summarily by their superiors for rape and murder, but the Red Army in general did not care.

The result is a deeply sick society in these “liberated” countries that you can see in Hungary and Poland where people are overcompensating in politics, and we get idiots like Orbán elected. There is a measurable regression in women’s rights as well in Hungary compared to the neighbours, which started when people coped by treating rape as “not a big deal” in the 40s, since the alternative would have been that they have been powerless to protect their loved ones from the unspeakable. Many people committed suicide as I’ve mentioned. And now we have the only EU country that is not a signatory to the Istambul agreement. This has been extensively studied as well, by communists as well.

I’m not even anti-communist BTW. I just think that condoning rape and murder, a cult of personality and a lot of what was coming from Moscow was not good for communism as a whole either. The stupid thing was that communism was actually popular in Hungary after WWII after people witnessed the horrors of fascism first-hand. But that turned sour when the Soviets tried forcing an idiotic economic plan (heavy industry on a country that is basically one big grainfield with no minerals), and when the resulting economic hardships and friction resulted in a local communist-led revolt against the Soviet occupiers, which the Soviets brutally crushed, leading to brutal repression and a perpetual occupation.

Will your domestic production keep selling at the price point you are at now once global prices skyrocket? Will Trump institute a “commie” price cap? Or will we just have another wave of “unprecendented inflation” and price gouging on all levels of the supply chain, with a side of even more layoffs?

And I didn’t say “obsolete”, I said “vulnerable”. As in it’s not a panacea, those weapons can be misused hard enough that the US Navy lost two jets against Houthi rebels without a navy just by being stupid.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not “rooting for Iran” here. I’m saying we’re going to get fucked up again because Israel can’t stop starting wars and genociding people.

Has the US, seeing that it is at war with Iran, found and sunk these subs? Because they sure as hell closed the straits off and tankers are diverting already

How many wars can we as people start this year?

So has that happened yet? The blockade is already on

1945-46, not 1941. There were no Russian troops in Hungary in 41, nor were there any in Germany for that matter. These missives were sent by and to the Communist Party officials in Hungary, same people who executed Szálasi Ferenc.

So this is a pro Russian government collecting the data, and the study is literally just collating the data and it doesn’t even make conclusions, it’s just a collection of data so you don’t have to fish for it in the Archives.

Iran has at least 25 diesel subs in the specific area, as it is a state secret how many of their midget subs specifically designed for duty in the straits have been commissioned. 20 are verified.

The US has ~80 destroyers around the world.

But the subs are most likely laying mines right now, none of them have been sunk or even found as far as we know. Of course, demining is possible, but it’s long and expensive.

Add to that that US brass was saying they would lose a sea battle against Iran in the straits 20 years ago. Iran has been commissioning 2-4 subs per year since.

And Iran does not want to fight US battle group, they want to prevent cargo traffic. The US just lost the same battle off Yemen a few months ago, against a country with no navy.

There is a serious study published just a few years ago, titled “Törvényes” Megszállás, by the Hungarian National Archives. It is basically a compilation of the official letters sent around by the administration in that era.

Here is a link so you can purchase the book if you are actually interested, it’s in Hungarian though, full of archaic 1945-contemporary phrases:

Widespread rapes happening is not and never was a disputed fact, not even by the occupiers. In fact, the Stalinist leader of the Hungarian Communist Party was petitioning Stalin to rein in his soldiers, as the atrocities committed by the Red Army were weakening his election chances. The Budapest Council after its establishment at the start of the occupation had its first order of business to make abortion legal and free, temporarily.

There is indeed a discussion on how many rapes happened, but the low number admitted by the authorities back then is 50 thousand victims, with many of them being raped multiple times, just in the capital. The reconstructed number from official descriptions that were never collated during the occupation is 200 thousand, meaning more than a third of all women living there. Other missives from doctors in Budapest complain about that it’s not just that they were overwhelmed by the wave of female patients who were seriously injured from the violence inflicted upon them, but that there was a wave of fungal infections following the rape wave, which was then followed by a wave of syphilis patients, as symptoms became apparent. Syphilis medicine was in short supply, as the Red Army confiscated most of it to treat their own men.

This wasn’t confined to Budapest either, on Nagyszékely, the local doctor reported that 60% of the female population had an STD, aged from 16 to 78. On Kecskemét, the (Soviet-installed) mayor reports 193 civilians were murdered by Red Army soldiers in half a year, and people were unwilling to do any overtime since they wouldn’t leave their families alone after dark. The mayor also complains of a notable uptick in suicides specifically among men unable to cope with their daughters or wives being raped and murdered.

There was also widespread robbery. The train on which the attendees of the Congress of Civil Engineers were travelling back home was robbed, to the point that they even took their clothes away from around 50 people. The Pest county Union Secretary has been robbed of his bike by Russians three times in a row. Red Army troops were going around the countryside, confiscating carts and horses from peasants working their fields.

And then there was the Malenkij Robot, which had, similarly to when the German occupation rounded up Jews and took them away to death camps, this time it was the Soviet occupation rounding up Germans to take them away to death camps. There are widespread reports of them not being selective, in Vencsellő, the Russian lieutenant ordered everyone between 16 and 45 rounded up, threatening the local council secretary with summary execution if they missed even one person.

All in all, 300 thousand people died in forced labour camps.

So, fuck Russia.

US carrier groups have proven vulnerable to diesel-electric subs every time they come up to the nordics for an exercise. You can’t hit a sub with CIWS, only torpedoes and that’s if you know where they are.

Nordic navies have scored consistent simulated hits against US carrier groups from subs.

Their main defence against this is to stay the fuck away and use jets from afar. Which, if what is said above is true, they are not doing.

You can ask, but you will still keep getting side-eyes. Source: am Hungarian.

So how did they get from 1918 to 1968?
