Could be, but i believe corporate espionage is gets you a lower sentence. But also happens often when they catch a spy they just throw them out without a court case and sentence or if it's a hostile nation they do sentence them but then try to make a deal or a swap or something so that spy still doesn't get punished.

Just 2 days ago there were two articles posted in this community. One called Russian propaganda group Storm-1516 is using identities of real journalists to target Moldova, Armenia, and France and the other by AP news titled Intelligence officials worry a sabotage campaign blamed on Russia is growing more dangerous which was about a fire at a warehouse in east London storing equipment for Ukraine, plotted by Russian linked to the secret service. They wrote the following: "The fire is one of more than 70 incidents linked to Russia that The Associated Press has documented since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022". I earlier wrote comments on posts some of those 'incidents', this is what I commented below the two posted articles i linked above:

3 days ago someone posted a link to an article by The Insider titled Polish researchers trace Baltic GPS disruptions to Russian military sites in Kaliningrad about finding the source of navigational system failures (by either spoofing or jamming coordinates) on thousands of aircraft and ships in the baltic sea and the airspace of the surrounding countries. This is what I commented on that post:

Yesterday someone posted a link to an article by france24 titled The church by the airport: Inside Russia’s suspected spy activities in Sweden on how Russia is suspected to use the Moscow Patriarchate church as a platform for espionage. Recently I commented on a few posts about Kremlin-related activities in Europe. Below is a copy of what I commented the last time:

Yesterday someone posted a link to an article on news.err.ee titled Arson attack on Ukrainian restaurant in Estonia ordered by Russian intelligence, I decided it would make sense to copy my comment on that article here.

5 days ago someone posted link to an article by united24media titled Russian Saboteurs Reportedly Torch German Military Trucks in Erfurt in Brazen Attack on NATO Soil. I thought it'd be nice to copy my comment on that post.

Yesterday someone posted a link to an article in The Sun, it's headline was Britain’s migrant crisis being fuelled by Putin’s Russia and other hostile states in secret plot to destabilise UK; I feel I might just as well copy and paste my comment to that post:

The amount of shit Russia pulls without getting any kind repercussion truly astonishes me.

Totally agree, didn't mean to apply i'm against it but it just felt random. Thought maybe they were inspired by the donalds merchandise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You'll pay tarrifs for foreign parts but you can easily offset those because of the increasing demand

We already fixed a similar problem, about going east: half-way to the far-east is the middle-east

You first past the mid west, followed by the midder west until you finally reach the middest west.

Or, and it'd put my money on this one: we from now on call the US west coast is the westest west, because in that case you can say the mid west is actually the near east, before you have the quarter east, the middle east and the far east, until you get to Japan and you're in the eastest east. Only problem would be New Zealand and Hawaii, but sure we can find a name for them too :))

Don't get me wrong, I don't ~~Mexico to sell~~ mind Mexico selling chocolate but why are they thinking this is part of their job as government??

There are modded bikes that don't need pedal input to move forward, making them more like scooters and if they then go faster than the people on bikes I can imagine that feeling. But people don't always realise if they are not in the bike lane, they are either between the pedestrians or between the cars. Their speed might be annoying but that doesn't mean that the bike lane isn't the safest place for them too.

In the Netherlands we only have Aldi Nord (didn't know about Sud before I went to germany), and have visited them less and less over the years. Lidl has been expanding a lot the last 10-15 years and I am becoming more and more a loyalist. Aldi (Nord) to me is really losing the game in my eyes.

I don't know about manufacturing in Belgium either, but I believe Antwerp is Europe's biggest roro port (meaning importing and exporting vehicles), might not be a coincidence.

I don't like buying electronic stuff from the US anymore, although that wasn't made there anyway, but they are world class. US clothing brands are generally overpriced and not made there either, but it still would give me an illusion of quality. American cars also aren't made there, but I don't feel unsafe sitting in one. I don't disagree with you but US goods still hold perception of high quality for me and many others. But it has decreased over time and my perception of the quality from China is increasing, so maybe I'll say the same in the (near) future.

Although ironically enough, the bigger it says it's from China the less likely it will be decent quality.

Yes but I have to disagree with you as well, they are failing very very badly but the failure isn't in the literal sense completely as there are some places it is providing an answer to these anti-democratic forces. I think the EU response to PiS helped getting them out of office (for a bit) and also Orbán is losing political weight because EU doesn't let them.

Their effort clearly isn't bringing enough results, I get your sentiment though but dismissing their succes isn't helpful either.
