Guess these builders didn’t have any family on MH317. They should be ashamed of themselves

Corporatists don't give a fuck about national loyalty, only profit.

But yeah seeing nationals of countries who been directly impacted by Russian savagery act like this is disgusting.

How the fuck Hungarians got a daddy who sucks Putin's dick after what USSR did to them?

Anyone ever got an explanation how they square that away? My understanding Orbans support base are boomers who must remember the event since they grew up in its aftermath.

I think this article does a decent job of explaining it. Essentially they’re not decisively pro-Russian, they just have a lot of animosity towards Ukraine and Orban likes to play the middle.

An oppressed ethnic minority persecuted by Kyiv nazi junta regime?

Damn, this play never gets old.

MH17, but your point stands.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Thanks, I must have mashed MH17 and 370 together in my head. They had a rough year

As another durch person: good. Fuck em. Yeah, they fully cooperated in the investigation, but I don't really think that shouldn't mean there shouldn't be harsher punishments.

The Honorary Consul of Ukraine in the Netherlands noted that seven Dutch companies participated in the bridge's construction.

I hate that I can't find who.

Most probably they are subcontractors of this one.
