The only chance for Poland is to go against Russia, as powerful Russia means no Poland and vice versa, to a lesser extent. Better hope that the Russian industry runs itself aground, as while this would cause unrest. Kaliningrad as new Polish Voivodeship when?

Seems like France is about to betray Europe once again.

While I kinda agree on this, I'm more afraid of MLP, and this stance on Russia might be more due to an attempt to draw votes from the far right (which I find extremely dubious) than a real stance. Fillon was PM before (admittedly, PM don't have much diplomatic powers) and he didn't show much support for Russia (apart from the regular right which tends to like Russia more than the left, as opposed as during the URRS).
On the other hand, MLP has been involved in several stories with Russia and russian banks (maybe overblown).
Overall, the year 2016 hasn't shown me much hope in the way of countering MLP, and I'm pretty sure that Fillon would be a better choice in like 99% of the cases. If it's anything like 2002, the candidate that faces MLP in the second turn will be the winner, and it seems that atm, Fillon is going to be that candidate.

what?!

MLP is one of French political parties?
I knew that French people were horrible ever since I learned about WW2, but now it's just ridiculous.

My bad, I should have used the whole name. It's indeed Marine Le Pen and not My Little Pony

I figured you meant Marie LePen given the context anyway.

Yeah I think people are just joking about the French brony uprising bringing the end to western civilization

Would someone be so kind as to tell me why this is not so bad as it seems to me? Because I really don't want to believa that Sweden is completely fucked.

Grenade attacks dont even make the news any more. Besides the fact that not every city has a no-go zone yet, yes, they're fucked. To fix this, they obviously need more immigrants and asylum seekers, and the further from Asia, the more tolerance points.

Sweden may be completely fucked, but at least it's not racist

[martinuzz]

I don't see a problem. They are banned from using race and nationality as a descriptor. It doesn't say anything about skin colour.
It just means they will need to start using "black, dark brown, light brown, yellowish brown, brownish yellow, pinkish brownwhite, and purple speckled green" from now on.

martinuzz, you just failed the racist test

The letter specifies that, for everyday crimes such as burglary, basic information such as ethnicity, nationality, skin colour and height should not be given.

Ur racist
t. Sweden

[PanH]

I feel like no actually read the papers. The police is still going to register height, skin color, ethnicity and so on, of all the suspects. What it's not going to do, for the light crimes concerned, is to communicate it to the public. Now, while it is ridiculous, it is not as ridiculous as you're making it. I'm not even sure our police is communicating anything about that here either.

Also, I totally need to see that video now wheelchair savior

[martinuzz]

This is a police broadcast. The suspect in the recent killing spree in Stockholm is still at large. We ask of the public to be alert, and report any sightings to the police. The suspect looks like a human. So if you see a human, please call the police.

[PanH]

Do you think the public doesn't have a right to know if a disproportionate amount of crimes are being committed by certain groups? Wouldn't such information probably affect public policy on things such as how many refugees the Swedish public want to admit to their country? The recent OSU attack in America (11 hospitalized), for example, was apparently done by a Somali refugee. I'd be very surprised if some people in that area didn't move from a welcoming position to a more security-conscious one as a result of such events.

And here's the video. Wheelchair saviour is at 6 minutes.

Definitely, this letter shouldn't have ever come to pass. However, I'm more concerned about it hindering police's actions for getting witnesses and such than to confirm whatever the people are already thinking.

Thanks for the video, I'm going to watch it now.
