Funny, I just read some piece of news that one of the leaders in the romanian far-right party wants to regain the north-bucovina territories ( which have been a contentious issue for a long while now ) from Ukraine at any cost, even if it would mean Romania leaving NATO. Birds of a feather share the same russian propaganda I suppose.

People keep giving the swiss as an example but it’s not the same context. Mainly because in Switzerland all men go through mandatory military service and that builds some discipline when handling a gun. Also they still have to get ( strict ) permits for those weapons, even with the accompanying training.

It is my impression ( and I apologize for the generalizations ) that in the US they’re essentially handing out assault rifles to any rando with some cash on him.

There’s no way these are not bot accounts. I heard there’s a lot of instances with no sign-up validation that are just being flooded by requests.
