What motivates the National Guard for their refusal to participate in the “special operation”?
It’s very simple. People don’t want to kill and get killed. When they got a job, the contract said different things. In addition, OMON has a different mission. They don’t know how to use ground-to-air systems, they don’t drive tanks. How should they fight against a regular army? And with what—with a baton and a shield? Their job is to disperse the Navalny supporters and they did an excellent job at that. But this is something else.
The part I do understand: The European Union works by unanimous consent.
Depends on the area of interest. For some things it’s unanimous consent, for others it’s qualified majority (55% of the countries, 65% of the population).
The part I do not understand: Why everyone else can’t agree to do it anyway.
EU has a single internal market. Allowing imports to one country means allowing imports to all of them.
These were riot police. From the interview:
