Tbf if Ukraine believed it but wanted to preserve an element of surprise, this is exactly how they would've communicated

Je suis franco-hongrois, j'ai vécu la majeure partie de ma vie en Hongrie, j'ai passé la majeure partie de ma scolarité dans le système français.

Je me reconnais dans la culture, l'histoire, la langue des deux pays, je ne suis pas mi-français mi-hongrois, je suis bien français et hongrois.

Je n'ai pas lu l'article, mais le simple fait de poser la question me semble témoigner d'une grande ignorance.

edit : j'ai parcouru l'article, c'est pire que ce que je pensais... L'auteur soutient que la question n'est pas culturelle, mais légale, devoir se confirmer à deux systèmes judiciaires étant par définition impossible

Que vaudrait alors sa parole de citoyen ? Le service national, l’impôt, le devoir de défense, la loyauté élémentaire due à l’État dont on porte le passeport

C'est une mauvaise approche.

1 : c'est l'état qui a un devoir de défense et de loyauté envers moi, pas le contraire.

2 : Même si je n'avais que la nationalité française, si Marine Le Pen venait à être élue et a déclarer la guerre contre un autre pays, c'est bien en tant que français que je refuserai de faire la guerre pour un gouvernement facho

Like, they can't even handle Ukraine alone currently, what are they going to do in the Baltic States ?

Russia and China also have an interest in it, which stresses out the Americans

Years ago I had found a neat Windows software for this. You could just log in with your Amazon credentials and remove the DRMs on the books in your account. They could then be converted into pdfs with an other program.

I was doing this for my wife, and when she needed an other one of her books in pdf format she would ask me to "pirate" it. It pissed me off "it's yours, it's not piracy, it's file conversion !!" How the industry managed to actually get people to accept the stuff they buy isn't theirs :(

How much does the current system cost ?

It's funny that in Europe, our passports have been biometric for a long time, governments have our fingerprints, but the security at my base doesn't use it, airport workers and Cabin Crews just have their own security gate

(I'm a Cabin Crew based in Vienna, Austria)

Idk, in Hungary no-one uses a VPN, as neither studios nor institutions really care about piracy there
