#Nato: From #ColdWar to #Ukraine, a #History of the World’s Most Powerful #Alliance

In 1998, John Lewis Gaddis bemoaned that the decision to admit #Poland, #Hungary and the #Czech Republic was taken with almost no public debate and that ‘with remarkably few exceptions’ historians saw it as ‘ill-conceived, ill-timed and above all ill-suited to the realities of the post-Cold War world’. Enlargement violated the principle of magnanimity in victory, and risked driving #Russia to forge an anti-hegemonic alliance with #China.
....
#Military spending by European states has increased by more than 60 per cent since 2014. Yet G7 meetings are still surpassingly easy for US diplomats to run. Nato is both stronger than ever and just as unsuited to averting the next world #crisis.

#EU: Stop Killing #Games
Source: https://www.stopkillinggames.com
An increasing number of videogames are sold as goods, but designed to be completely unplayable for everyone as soon as support ends. The legality of this practice is untested worldwide, and many #governments do not have clear laws regarding these actions. It is our goal to have authorities examine this behavior and hopefully end it, as it is an assault on both #consumer #rights and preservation of #media.

There is a petition made by https://www.stopkillinggames.com/
If enough signatures are raised, this will be voted to be passed as a legislation.
The legislation would (require companies to) make online games playable even after the company behind it ends support/shuts down servers.
any in Europe who cares about games please sign it.
