I imagine that you saying it was more figurative, probably. You were refering to the actual Politics and not the Administration perse. I think I took your remark too literal, and therefore chose examples of countries of not having a working Gvement.

this tarrif bullshit is going

Yes, and I believe we should also keep that tech card for ever. This tech thing should be the hill we chose to die on.

Because in so far we still have some semblance of privacy, I wouldn’t want to give that bit up too. We should also develop more our own platforms and tech ofc.

I guess Moldova having a “Re-integration Plan for the Transnistria Region” is good. I’m curious how they’re going to do it.

They say something about energy dependency, new elections , paying salaries and redeveloping the region. But I thought the region wasn’t under Moldovan control, and iirc correctly, there was/is a plan to unify Moldova with Romania?

Then, good👍🏼

My point is political, that regimes can and will change. Essentializing entire peoples closes off that possibility.

Alright. And I agree to that. Also I have acknowledged that possibility ( as in A Russian & Belarusian Spring). Heck, one of the most important universal laws is change.

My argument was more that these changes won’t be easy and will require lots effort and time, especially because of the scars of autocratic regimes. That’s an important step to acknowledge.

No sorry dude, you’re not longer discussing this in good faith. To each his own, but stop trying to “culture” me.

There will be no free democratic Russia without sweeping and painful changes.

Unfortunately, I don’t think some people# understand this point. They keep comparing European culture to Russian FFS.

They don’t get that the foundations of what is Russia is part Bulgaria (Cyrillic and Orthodox Church) and that its Slavic cultural foundations lie in Ukrainia (Kyevites) . And that the RF is run by Moskovites and Fascist Z people.

They are not the same.

And to our Canadians friends, imagine we start saying that Canada and America are alike in 2025. That’s how it’s for us, but maybe worse.

#edit subject into: some people (was Americans and Canadians , but europeans too)

Yes, always good to have more artistic leeway as in how to demean Fascist murderers.

If I was a Russian handler,

Very important and valid point.

Thinking about the implications is mind-blowing. Start imagining what we don’t know or will ever know. There is probably rot everywhere.

Like for example the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the Trump 2016 and Brexit campaigns, are only a little tip of the (MeduZZa) iceberg. I really liked your medusa reference.

did I forget any?

Probably, like Wagner in parts of African continent.

So fuck them double to be sure.

if you are still spelling russia with a capital R

This is the second comment I’ve seen today about using russia instead of Russia. Never heard of this before.

Afaik most people use the Z as in Ruzzians or RuZZ to mark Putin loyalists, if that compares to your usage.

It’s is a reference to the Z symbol as in the " Z" army forces which launched the 2022 U.A. invasion. This symbol is now regarded as the Ruzzian (or ruZZ) Swastika ( pro-Putin pro-war & genocide people).

no working government.

Careful what you wish for. No Government usually leads to utter chaos, and I’m not so optimistic about human nature. And none of the problems you care for would be resolved. Check for extreme examples Haiti, South-Africa, Myanmar etc.

I have been chewing on this event for a bit now. Needed to sink in, I wonder whether people realize what’s happened and what’s its geopolitical implications are. I believe EU and UK ( USA, but they have a puppet), should really react strongly now. Russia is a terrorist state.

Add: Just watched this France24 clip interview with Jeffrey Sachs. What a disgrace. He’s a Russian mouthpiece according to the hill

Any major European colonial power has a history of tension between tyranny and liberty.

Big difference between European history and current Ruzz reality.

Their culture has never learned any Human Rights lesson, which is exactly the problem. For centuries their Gvment have been one or another form of Tsarism (autocracy) basically. There might have been a couple of years of reprieve, before Putin went fullmetal.

So though I believe a “Russian & Belarusian Spring” is definitely possible, the country needs to go full Fascist deprogramming first. #syntax

(…) then the whole world would be my enemy. That would not be reasonable.

I appreciate your positive approach, though a couple of these assumptions need closer examination imo:

1. not the" whole world" is fooled by propaganda, though many are.

2. you presume “they” are not your enemy, but you could be wrong. Specifically, history and recent events paint examples of how appeasement and naivety causes a situation to become worse.

3. what is “reasonable” depends on your life expectency and perceived threat to your mental, psychological and physical integrity.

It’s not always beneficial to project your assessment of your life and situation to others, when your goal is to understand them or make a critical analysis. I mean, everybody has different situations and realities.

honestly feel like we should have been sending missiles and drones towards Moscow and Leningrad for years already

Technically, recent escalations and especially the more recent ones like on the EU reps building and the one on the US factory in U.A, just after the Alaskan negotiations, should be enough political ammo to step our involvement more, if the will is there.

Oh please no, I was being polite, since your account is 1 month old.

“The anger comes amid strict austerity measures implemented by president Prabowo, including cuts to education, health and public works.”

They do have an alleged warcriminal for president, who won the elections via a tik-tok campaign. Keep up the good work with the protest Indonesia

What kind of source is this? Completely unverifiable for me.

Yes you are correct. The mods are not perfect and neither are the posters.
