In Germany, it was the unions who made the 5 day work week. So we can still tell God to fuck off and thank our unions like OP intended

The people who politicize everything cry about too much politics. They even politicized fucking pronouns.

They are addicted to politics, they just can't handle seeing different opinions.

Also, the Russians will feed information that hurts the us as a whole and Democrats specifically, but will spare trump

Not on this scale, not with such hostile governments, not with such sensitive information, not in this kind of secrecy and not in such an unprofessional manner.

Probably also because several high ranking security officials were and are still loyal to Trump and are trying to keep much of this stuff under wraps

But in his case, there was proof that and what information he shared, right? Because right now, I don't think there's (public) information on what Trump's government gave the russians

I do find it beliveable that the star of david was unintentional

I don't. Kicking or stepping on someone creates clear, directional injuries, not carefully placed marks with no sign of movement to some side or distortion. Especially of that person is resisting.

This injury looks to be inflicted on someone who is completely unable to move and by someone who has time and space to carefully place their branding and apply pressure for a while.

Yeah, even Putin knows this. But now it's about making Ukraine bleed as much as possible for the insolence of resisting russia. The cruelty is the point.

Careful: VAT is calculated additionally to the price of the goods bought. So when the government buys goods for 84€, an additional +19% VAT is slapped on top of it, which comes out to 16€, for a final payment of 100€. So only when the government ultimately pays 119€ on something, it gets 19€ back.

Because this tax goes straight back to the government. It buys weapons systems for a certain price, pays 19% VAT on top of it - back to itself.

So this means that the money which the ministry of defense was granted by the ministry of finance is just 84 billion plus an additional 16 billion (19% VAT) which will go straight back to the ministry of finance and can not be used to procure anything. A "true" 100 billion budget would have meant either a suspension of VAT on all payments or 119 billion provided by the ministry of finance, of which 100 billion can be used to buy systems and 19 billion would go back to the government as VAT.
