The UK just... won't ratify it because we don't want to add in its required laws against domestic abuse

In July 2020, Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro declared he will begin preparing the formal process to withdraw from the treaty. He said that the treaty is harmful because it requires that schools teach children about gender in an "ideological way" and de-emphasizes biological sex.[34] In 2012, when in opposition, Ziobro had referred to the treaty as "an invention, a feminist creation aimed at justifying gay ideology".[35] The Polish government also criticized the treaty for stating that "culture, custom, religion, tradition or so-called 'honour' shall not be regarded as justification" for acts of violence against women.

The Bible doesn't say "don't be trans"
tbh I don't understand either
If I didn't know better I'd think transphobia is a somewhat purely secular phenomenon, because religions just never had the topics at the time of their scriptures' writings to make 'laws' or 'rules' on it
queen valley
It might be because some religious people assume that it's impossible to trans because God's perfect and doesn't make mistakes so you must be wrong and bad if your claiming God isn't perfect
unreal galleon
that's just projecting rather than any actual beliefs derived from religion

does the miami police even have the legal ability to send weapons to a foreign nation? as far as i know, local governments canāt engage in international trade, only the state government does, though itās been a while since i took civics so maybe iām wrong
split aurora
But U.S. and foreign export license requirements have complicated these initiatives
It is unclear how the Miami Police Department plans to get the weapons there.
Under a set of federal rules called theĀ International Traffic in Arms Regulations, anyone seeking to export guns, ammunition and other defense-related items from the United States must get a license from the U.S. State Department.
Miami police did not respond to requests for comment Monday about the plan and whether the department has an export license. The State Department referred questions to the city of Miami and the Commerce Department, which also did not respond to a request for comment early Monday. CommerceĀ was reportedly seeking to speed up the processing of requests from AmericansĀ to send firearms and ammunition in the early weeks of the war.```Police collected 68 weapons, Morales said, adding that only āa few of themā are likely to be āfit to send over to our friends over in Ukraine.ā

Foreign policy is another issue, but main idea behind this is that the German armed forces suffer from a severe lack of operational equipment
Note that while reservists are a thing here, the reserve doesnāt have any equipment, but even in the standing army there are a lot of brigades that arenāt fully ready for any sort of operations because they lack the equipment for that
And itās not just a quantity issue, a lot of tanks and helicopters are currently unusable because they lack the necessary spare parts
So the investment is very much needed
buoyant sundial
To be fair, some countries might be a little reluctant to give Germany access to military resources. Wasnāt there a law about that at one point?
leaden grove
Correct
Itās a budget and procurement issue
There are no restrictions on arms deliveries to Germany, not to mention that most vehicles used by the German military are manufactured by German companies like Rheinmetall

only in east germany isn't there
Germany also reaffirmed its renunciation of the manufacture, possession of, and control over nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, and in particular, that the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty would continue to apply in full to the unified Germany (the Federal Republic of Germany). No foreign armed forces, nuclear weapons, or the carriers for nuclear weapons would be stationed or deployed in six states (the area of Berlin and the former East Germany), making them a permanent Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone
They can't make or control any of their own, but in the west they can have foreign owned ones stationed

He told the journalist most of the foreign soldiers are all a bit loony and āadventurousā. He also said he met this one ukrainian officer who turned out to be a massive nazi with a black sun tattoo (apparently a sign of neonazism).

Holy shit
Russia has 600,000 workers in the car industry
a mass unemployment would fucking destroy the nations stability
Russia's automotive industry is a significant economic sector. It directly employs 600,000 people and supports around 2ā3Ā million people in related industries.[50]Ā It is politically a very important part of the country's economy: firstly, due to the large number of employed people and secondly, because many citizens depend on the social services provided by automotive companies. For example, the well-being of the giantĀ AvtoVAZĀ factory inĀ TolyattiĀ is massively important to the city or to the region ofĀ Samara Oblast.[75]Ā Tolyatti is a typicalĀ monotown, a city whose economy is dependent on a single company. The factory employed around 100,000 people of the city's population of 700,000 in 2009.

something i've been noticing lately is how there's been an increasing number of russian t-80bv losses while we haven't seen nearly as many t-80u or t-80bvm losses as we did earlier in the war. seems to me that maybe the russian forces have stopped using them, either because they've run out of the more modern variants or they're saving the few they have left for when things get really desperate

A division wont pull equipment from other divisions, the divisions that invaded Ukraine are pulling tanks from reserve until new ones can be manufactured and sent to them, Russia still has a sizable amount of modern tanks but they have none in reserve

btw Johnson' government is on the brink of collapse following Sunak and Javid's resignations.
This will likely have knock on effects when it comes to British support for Ukraine amongst other things.
The main factor to track is if Ben Wallace maintains his position as defence secretary in the Tory party's backstabbing fallout.

still needs to go through legislatures but
That might take a while
Some estimates are around 6-8 months
Though it really depends on how quickly the national parliaments deal with this, the Estonian parliament will host an extraordinary session tomorrow to discuss the issue and Germanyās parliament wants to ratify it before the summer holidays as well

Almost 60 uk govt members resigned
