A party headed by a pro-Kremlin figure came out top after securing more votes than expected in an election in Slovakia, preliminary results show, in what could pose a challenge to NATO and EU unity on Ukraine.
According to preliminary results released by Slovakia’s Statistical Office at 9 a.m. local time, Robert Fico’s populist SMER party won 22.9% of the vote.
Progressive Slovakia (PS), a liberal and pro-Ukrainian party won 17.9%.
Fico, a two-time former prime minister, now has a chance to regain the job but must first seek coalition partners as his party did not secure a big enough share of the vote to govern on its own.
The absurd thing about Iraq (and Syria) is that the countries complaining most about immigration from the middle-east - Poland, Hungary, the UK, Italy, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, … - happily joined Bush’s war and arguably helped cause much of the last two decades of migration.
It would have been far fairer that only countries that were part of the ‘coalition of the willing’ were forced to accept refugees from Iraq or Syria.
Meanwhile countries like Germany, which warned against invading, got much of the blame of the inevitable wave of migration caused by an invasion they tried to prevent.
Same thing with climate change. The bastards who prevented doing anything about it, are now complaining about all the migration it’s causing.
Voters in some countries, seem to think only the guy who’s pissing on their leg, has the solution to ensuring their feet stay dry.
