And we should all elect fake nationalist and populist leaders that are leading us closer to WW3. I’m not for open borders, but I’m vehemently opposed to closed borders and turning our backs on are fellow friends from other parts of the world.

A country doesn't have to take everybody in (A vote to a right-wing anti-immigration party means that the regular people are getting tired of it) & How exactly politicians like the ones in Hungary will cause WW3? I'm curious.

With all due respect, Hungary is a mostly conservative nation with some of the worst politicians in the world. Journalism there is seriously flawed as well, with very questionable news sources and decidedly anti-immigration sentiment fueled by yellow journalism. It's surprising that immigrants even consider going to a place like this. I imagine how desperate these people need to be in order to even consider living there. I would never. I've been going through more than enough shit in Brazil already, thank you.

The ones trying to enter Hungary mostly likely use it as a.... country you go through to reach another country. At least in my opinion. I never said anything about journalism, so i won't say a thing about it in Hungary lol

MASS migration has to stop in Europe.

Well, once y’all stop shipping bombs, guns, and planes over there I’ll think about this comment seriously.

Orban is not a conservative or a nationalist. He is leader, like Putin, that only aims to give himself power and attack all others.

I just wrote what i think, you don't have to think about that comment seriously, if you don't care/like or simply disagree with it.

I’m sorry I offended you, but I did scale down what I wanted to say, so it would be so hurtful.

What makes you think i got offended? Your reply was odd, that's all. Write what you have to say. Or were you going to write a novel about why mass migration is Europe's own fault?

Sometimes I wonder if they really don´t have anyone who explain them the traditions and habits of the country they attend ? if you arrive in a Slavic country like :SVK it´s common that you´ll be welcomed with bread and salt, you should (have to) try it, at least one slice. Emmanuel ! It´s really impolite to not eat the whole slice :(:d

I suppose you mean 'we all'? You know, what with the American president basically literally stating the American arms deal with a shady regime is more important than free press? :p

    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
