Kerensky type event
this has been running over and over in my head for the past 2 years
"The whole of Europe, which is more divided than ever..." is it really? I pretty sure we've been more divided than this.
Poorly worded but I believe they were meaning each European nations domestic politics are more divided than ever. Would like to see data to back that up though.
“People in the comments being more nit-picky than ever…”
Lol yeah, it is a hyperbolic figure of speech, but it does feel especially meaningless in this case. Now saying it is the most divided Europe has been since the turn of the millennia? Might be, but definitely not any further back
It is actually left and right are way too far from each other specially on immigration policies.
Yeah, s bit of hyperbole there.
*More polarized than ever since WW2

As a Slovak person I must say that the pronounciation of the slovak names was (almost) exceptional
Slovakia trying to split into Slov and Akia now?
Underrated
this seems to be the natural progression of any European state east of Germany, to split in many other balkanized micro states until being swept away by a bigger empire, until this empire crumbles and the process starts over again
I laughed harder than I should of lol
@myxomat00sis Somehow Blessed Karl has returned...
@@myxomat00sisthat's never been a trend in eastern Europe. Only in the Balkans.
On fact, eastern Europe had more united larger countries for a significantly larger portion of history than western Europe.
Eg. Poland was always united and not split into smaller countries. It was conquered non the less.
Eastern Slavs were never split into small states, they were under one another's rule but never split into small states as far back as a milénium ago.
Central Europe always had Great Moravia which was conquered and subsequently split in two parts.
One under HRE, the other under Hungary. They later combined.
Today they are more split than since 1200AD.
The most divided parts of Europe were historically: Spain, HRE (Germany), modern Italy and even Britain
We're hitting Total War TM levels of politics.
Question is, is it Rome II or Attila levels of chaos
@@Randomstuffs261well we have the migratory hords against corrupted and decadent states so I guess we all know it ain't Rome 2

@@Randomstuffs261 It kind of lefts me split. I wanna have crisis in real life as in Rome 2 which is basically eden garden and always sunny there. But on the other hand I really enjoyed playing Attila and especially WRE on Legendary with attempt to hold my borders. Decisions decisions.

Telling your voters the election is going to be rigged is a great way to get people to vote lmao
From his perspective, it covers both bases. He both encourages his supporters to go and vote and scrutinize the process, and establishes an excuse for any loss. He did it before both 2016 and 2020 extensively.
@@westrim one time it worked, one time it didn't...
It of course matters of where he encourages it more, since Trump didn't win the Popular Vote in either election, yet it was because of the Electoral College that he won the former
Yeah just not for the guy you are thinking. The old fossil the democrats have betted their whole existence is barely alive. Meanwhile trump has destroyed the poll both against other republics and democrats, minority voters are turning around as well.

If he truly believed in "country first party second" then electoral reform would be on that list to move to a proportional voting system.
I havent watched fully yet but i think Nadja you have a really nice accent and it feels comforting to me to this kind of news
Let's learn from Slovakia. Divisiveness can win elections, but it destroys your society.
How can you pronounce Fico correctly and then call him Fiko 10 seconds later?
Aspoň to už nie je "Fajko" :D
That happens. She may have just forgetten the correct pronunciation as she continued to explain the news.
Feetso may be correct but Faiko still sounds cooler
The intro is recorded last.
Everybody says "Fiko", I can't blame her, I only have that pronunciation in my head too.
6:53 thats comeing from a man who cant accept his defeat in the election
I like how "the host (what's your name?)" pronauces slovak terms.. its not that bad as I expected.
Nadja
she have slav surname maybe she´s from the region
@@brancaleone8895 Nadja Lovadinov, Serbian descent
Nicely done, your Slovak pronunciation very nice
Props on her for getting pronunciations right 👏
Finally someone, who doesnt tell him FiKo, but FiCo.
She calls him both
YEAAAAAH WOOOO LETS GOOOO THATS MY PRESENTER WOOOOOOOO
Nadja top
?
Why would a government trying to crack down on the free press try to get rid of the government-run broadcaster? It almost seems like they're trying to have less control over the media.
The broadcaster in our country had multiple owners to make sure it's independence, fico said they spread liberal propaganda so he has taken complete control...
Goverment broadcasters are innifecient, expensiv and mist of the time not eutral
they are trying to take control over it like it was in "communistic era / there were rules what kind of programs were allowed ; what people on TV/radio could say .... " ...
Great content as always! The new presenters (although I guess they have been around for quite a bit now) are really fantastic.
Don't get between people and their freedom
TH-cam put this video on 18+ for a while there
Well that sucks

strange to see a jump cut every few seconds

Is that a pool of blood in the thumbnail? Lmao that’s crazy if so

Me. Sorry. Times are rough, £20 is £20.
😭😭😭 TIMES ARE SO HARD 😭😭😭
That a weird resume of the situation,i hope the full video will be better framed.
Najda could read a 2 hr month's worth of tldr asmr. I dont mind sleeping to the news and crashing state of geopolitics
"The whole of Europe, which is more divided than ever"
Ummmmm.....
Where is the presenter from? She read all the slavic names suprisingly well
UK, she filled in for one of the guy's who was on a break and has stuck around since due to mass subscriber support and people liking her for her more accurate name, location and political lingo pronunciation especially when compared to the guy's, she definitely seems that she has some training in the presenting/media field compared to the guys who come across as a bunch of bros who got an idea to start an media company and ran with it.
I didn't know there was so much data underpinning old people skydiving. I better sign up for that shit....
It won’t take much time to five out why they did it
2:35 Really!? And who the hell says that? Who says that Europe/EU is "more divided than ever"??
hey TLDR daily. where is there nothing new that Denmark donates 5.6 billion kroner for air defense, artillery, grenades and anti-tank mines to Ukraine
Is that news?
Sorry, American here. I don’t have a good scale of how much/how important Ukraine receiving weapons from Denmark. Billions of kroner or no.
Before clicking on the video I said "It was probably the CIA". Still checks out.
according to i think Russian hoax he was paid 5 mil. euro (from usa) to do that 1 year prior XD ....
You reap what you sow!
Hiding that cardboard bodge job with a laptop I see... xD
1. hot dogs 2. cakes 3. sachima 4. red bean congee and 5. yuanxiao
Great pronunciations
2:37 calling Europe more divided than ever is crazy
Woahhhhh

Somebody tried to start WW3

WORLD WAR 2 MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Probably some Serbs. They had a reputation for that
It gotta have something to do with austria
Because of Fico? Nah.
Wait I'm confused why are foreigners allowed to vote in the USA?
Still quite a dry delivery but she’s getting better 😊
Thank goodness they pronounced his surname right. I can't stand the one who kept saying FAY-KOH
For Labour, we need more doctors and nurses before we need more teachers. And his plan to stop the boats is to catch the gangs like he did with the drugs, which, if it worked, there would be no more gangs when instead as one is taken down another pops up. Rwanda is working and he has already ruled it out. Vote for your local MP based on his voting record and ignore the parties.
I guess we finally got the “Everything East of Berlin” DLC for Europe Expansion for Hoi4.
I know we got that sneak peak with the free Crimea DLC but I gotta hand it to paradox they really have out done themselves
Tragic news about it. Appreciate your work. Support Defend Czech Republic Dennis Dillon Czech he excellent friend Thomas. Britain England London rejoin EU again like Italy Republic 🇮🇹🇮🇹. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
Something similar may happen in Georgia too. Both nations stand in intensive internal struggle between an EU approach or bounding to Russia. Nevertheless for an EU nation, this kind of violence in Slowakia was not expected and not style of modern european states. In Hungary and Serbia the Pro Asian sentiment is much stronger than the Pro Western EU sentiment. So Orban and Viccu may not be in danger from internal radicals.
I don't have a problem with young British people pronouncing "aitch" as "haitch" in general, I know that languages are always changing and that, anyway, it's their language as much as mine, I'm not saying it's wrong; but I've got to say that I find the pronunciation "En Haitch Es" quite startling. I know lots of people who pronounce "aitch" as "haitch", but I'd never heard it used in "NHS" before. I can see that the new pronunciation of the letter name "h" is spreading and is likely going to become the standard one before too long (unless exposure to American English on social media reverses the trend for Gen Z); but I hope the pronunciation of NHS will remain the same, as a kind of linguistic fossil.
And it only took an assassination attempt on Fico for TLDR to get the pronunciation of his name right...
I'm sorry, did she just say "Europe, which is more divided than ever" ?! Lol, we've never been so common in our directions. Be it european integration, foreign policy, and stopping Russia's 1900-style military campaigns (save for the opportunist Orban. More polarised internally, maybe, due to lack of education and authority by arguments, but...we are more united and unidirectional than ever.
Wonder if the Slovak governing party will apologise, as it turns out the gunman is more like them than the liberals they're railing against
This Slovak governing party will never apologize . They are starting to blame everyone else (Eštok and others ) ....

Unfortunate for Slovakia
you can decide what i meant.
France: *colonised islands
The french: "why don't islanders like us?"
so the islanders start a race war in response?
Not really the problem...They are destroying shops, factories, blocking ambulances, hospital and they don't really fight against France's States. It's moronic.
They voted no three times for independence
Caledonians refused independence in like 3 separate referendums lmao
@@nikolai7218 who? The natives or French colonists?
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: a candidate for presidency, doesn't matter the party, the politics, the ideology or whatnot, who calls an election rigged before it even happens, should be barred from participating in such an election, period.
It's just a matter of coherence, this doesn't even has to do with politics. It has to do with core principles of democracy. It's not exactly the same, but the analogy serves. Sportsmanship also prevents this, because it's parallel in fair appliance of rules. A team does not get to play if it's calling out the judge, referee, umpire, technical team or whatever for some supposed corruption scheme before the game even happens. The team either presents proof and stops the election before it happens and then corrects it so that a fair game happens, or it doesn't get to participate in the match.
You don't trust the process, and you won't present proof of crime, you can get your sh*t and go home. More than that, you should be punished for the crime of seditious libel. I don't know why these provisions aren't being used to defend the US political system and government in general, but it should.
These concepts are basic for a functioning democracy. The only thing I don't understand, among several others that have already been violated, is how these basic notions can escape a nation that calls itself the greatest democracy in the world, when it's not doing even the basics to protect itself.
The foundations and pillars of a democratic system have been constantly attacked, if not already destroyed, by a group of people who calls themselves a party, but they are actually traitors, saboteurs and criminals violently attacking the established political system in the US.
Ignoring all this and still leaving the doors open for this group is not a normal democratic process, it's giving power to traitors that have already proven and given away all their intentions to topple democracy.
And it's just horrifyingly amazing how this is happening in the supposed richest and most powerful nation in the world. We're just watching how a democracy gets toppled over with zero defensive action in slow motion.
A liberal extremist.
The shooter was pro-Russian.
7:33 Worst segue ever.
A Slovak here. I must say your coverage on the matter was really good. Fico is really the most hate-spreading politician we've ever had. Something as tragic as this to finally happen was just a matter of time. I hope that other people in power with autocratic tendencies will learn from this. You just cannot be killing democracy in your country and polarizing the whole society (among MANY others also giggling while your right-hand man is ranting during a pro-russian protest about the most beloved politician, ms. president Zuzana Čaputová, that she's an "american wh*re) without consequences.
its unfortunate that the attempted assassination usually bolsters political support for the target. Ronald Reagan's popularity wasn't good until someone attempted to kill him. i predict that Fico will get a surge in popularity, and i suspect without evidence that the shooter who has ties to far right groups was a false flag operation.
How is ending state run media Autocratic?
Ironically, your comment sounds very similar to how a “autocratic politician” would say if you just change a few words from your comment. I knew that horseshoe theory is real.
Lying leftist found
@@nox5555 Properly controlled and balanced publicly funded media saves us from the likes of Fox News, CNN, etc., who are polarising the US. They have to be the most shocking, most dramatised in order to gain viewers, not the most factual, because they are mainly expected to make money, not to provide information.
Putin
I'll be shocked if the assassination attempt is not blamed on Hamas or Russia!
tf is with the video editing ... not normal quailty thats for sure bad edits and also why after almost ever sentace does she act like "ok i can move now" tbh just a poor video overall
The reason the prime minister didnt go to a hospital in bratislava is because the train isnt ready.. Theyre building it now
"Gunman who shot Slovakian PM is 71-year-old poet with 'links to pro-Russian paramilitary'" - That should be the primary thing you go with, not saying he did not like the politics of FICO and then mentioning the crackdown on the media. Yeah, you had a 2 sec coverage of him being on the far-right later, but people will latch onto the first thing they hear. Way to help Russia.
Other way around, the linking to the far-right thing is them trying to save face and help Ukraine. The guy was at dozens of pro-Ukraine rallies, the far-right group they talked about ceased to exist years ago and the guy had one meeting with them over a decade ago. They were also a far-right group yes but an anti-Putin far-right group.
@@giantWario Huh, that might be true, we'd need to wait for more info to come out. Either way Russia will spin the motivation as "Pro-Ukrainian terrorist". I asked a person from Slovakia and they said it was more of anti government protests he attended than Pro-UA ones, and that the guy was maybe some anarcist.
Whatever the case is, it causes more problems for the Slovak people which is a shame.
Fico got what he started with being deeply divisive with identity politics.
What a disgusting and simply untrue thing to say. Do you really think the guy who shot him was a 'lone wolf' and came up with shooting Fico on his own? theirs much more to it call me a conspiracy theorist but we have been proven right many times even when its not recognised.
Not allowing foreigners to vote in a country's election is common sense
Living in a place for 10 years and being a citizen does not make you a foreigner...
But are you there legally?
it is very rare for non-citizens to vote and when they do their votes are immediately discounted. laws like this only make it harder for citizens to vote thus decreasing voter turnout and helping Republicans.
Oh, I thought you were talking about New Caledonia. Well it is not common sense to legislate against something that is not happening.
@@lux2094
Nope the law will prevent voter fraud and protect the democracy
Are you happy with it yes tragic news 71 year old he the target 🎯 politically yes. England London did before in 1941 Czechoslovakia. Better off Czech Republic Thomas. Being Italian had bad security. He extreme conservative yes. Czech Republic wealthy third position it better system Slovakia Republic poor conservative Peime minister yes. Owen Jones he against it Politically he told you truth Thomas Slovakia Republic. Better off if stay as Czechoslovakia it velvet divorce in 1989. Dennis Dillon Czech he knows it inside out politically Thomas. He a friend.
Its good that the French crack down so hard on these antiimmigrant riots.
I find the whole assassination attempt baffling , the security service is so inept that a 71 years old can walk to point blank range and pump Fico with atleast 3 bullets and yet the guy still manages to live.
There's a video of the assassination attempt you know that right? He was shaking hands with a crowd. The 71 years old didn't walk up to him, Fico walked up to the 71 years old. And if you've seen the video, security service actually acted quite fast, it's just that the guy was even faster despite his age. He fired three shots in less than two seconds, he obviously was trained.
Seems like someone hasn't seen the video
He was behind the railings together with other people who wanted to greet him... how could that be avoided?
@@soundscape26 really good security (not friends and lackeys , but real professionals / few Slovak professional security chefs talked about that the guys there were not good ... ) ...

Fico wanted to create a regime like pootinstan, so he had to count on all these advantages and features that it has. Fortunately, he survived and will have time to think about it.
Again the lying leftist

You can only undermine democracy for so long before people start looking for undemocratic solutions. The attack on Fico of course doesn't have any place in civilized world, but he is one of the people making Slovakian politics uncivilized. Harvest what you sow and all that jazz.
You have to do something with your hairs, fee hair are forcing you to constantly tick and touch face and head.
