*** There is a deal between Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Netherlands  (plus Centeno) ***

Now all the 27 must agree on the compromise draft

(dipl. source)

 

 

(God bless the UE :p)

 

 

are you kidding me???

 

Italy has been sold with no dignity...basically they gave up to all what the Northern europeans greedy raiders wanted...

 

hope the government is gonna go down immediately so to avoid any chance for Gualtieri to sign an official document...

 

I never felt so sad and ashamed of being Italian like today (yesterday)...I thought that we couldn't reach a lower level after the Monti/Fornero dynamic duo, but now we're finally at the point of no return...

Because people see this as 'country A doesn't want to help country B', which is nonsense. Thing is, with the kind of deal people have been talking about, all countries would also have to sort of agree to pay/help with the debts (non-coronavirus related) of countries like Italy, of whom everyone knows they will get into more and more debts again and again. It is understandable it's not a simple 'yes, ok' they get as answer, even though I of course do think there should be a way to help each other.

 

If only it was so simple as people think it is.

 

no, Italian requests have never been about that...

 

we never asked anybody to pay for our previous, present and future debts not related to this health emergency...

 

Italy only asked to put on the market a common European financial coverage (through dedicated products, call them as you want, if you don't like the word "Corona Bond") for the damages brought by this health emergency, in order to avoid the usual speculation over the weaker National only emitted certificates...

 

but Germany (who are so coward to send on the front line one of their politically "satellite Countries" like the Netherlands and not taking over the discussion by themselves) only wanted Italy and Spain to agree on that fraud named MES, in order to become the true owner of those Countries, who obviously after a shock like this will never be able to cover the obligations included in the MES (and don't say me this agreement has no conditions, because the EU Constitutional Agreement has all those fuckin' obligations and if someone use the MES funds...and they will always be subject to fill that contract -or, better, true extortion- sooner or later)...

 

so, all in all, once again it's true when we say "Country A doesn't want to help Country B"...MES is only intended to act as "Country A wants to raid over Country B as soon as possible"...that's its nature...that's what it was built for...that's what it really means...

Yeah...I'm sorry, but I'm going to keep searching for some articles with a little more neutrality (which is of course lacking in this case, judging by the language used, because no, nobody here is trying to 'be the true owner' of generally financially unstable countries like Italy or Spain) that probably look a bit better at the pros and cons of the whole thing.

Yeah I meant horse plus rider :p 

 

They are definitely real, as in, they exist. But no way this picture is a real photo of them in that place :d

Now that we are the owner of Italy, do we get the copyright for pizza and ice ream?

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Berdy's leg is somewhat off, or is it just me?

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
