Cliff Racer posted:But how do you first enter Europe through Hungary's borders? Are there really all that many people coming in from Serbia? If anything a rule like that aught to be to Hungary's benefit. Yes, especially Kosovo Albanians but also generally migrants and refugees passing through the Balkans looking to get into the EU/West.

Its also a lot easier for someone from Russia to come to the EU under some sort of other visa, and then remain there. Someone from Southeast/Central Asia is probably not going to have such luck.

Someone from Southeast/Central Asia is probably not going to have such luck. Russian citizen can go to Kaliningrad, and then use border deal with Poland to travel legally up to Gdańsk. Then it's trivially simple to simply hop on a train to Berlin or wherever he wants to go in EU.

In the case of Russia at this point, they don't believe in the current government because they are fearful of it though, but rather it is utilizing lots of pent up frustration from a variety of sources. and there aren't many sources that counter the government narrative. That said, if there were a varied media, I still think the majority probably would still back the government, not because they love Putin but there has been pent up represented building up for decades and Putin knows how to use it expertly. Basically, the moral of the story is that an economic collapse and lovely conditions are the mothers of nationalism and revanchism and it just takes someone (really anybody) to eventually come along to use it for their own purposes. In 1997, Putin was a political no-body, and by 2000, he was president. Ardennes fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Jun 25, 2015 |

It's not a photoshop, is it? From the politoon thread: KoldPT posted:Arend van Dam showed up in Russia Today: http://rt.com/news/269314-anti-russian-propaganda-netherlands/ Russia Today sez: A Sott.net article written by Amari Roos claims that regarding Russia ‘devouring’ Ukraine, “the truth is opposite to what Dutch children are being taught.” So here you go, it's actually Ukraine that is invading Russia!

Today is Statehood Day in Slovenia and Croatia, which is national holiday in both countries. On June 25th 1991, Slovenian and Croatian parliaments ratified the declaration of independence from SFR Yugoslavia. The resolution didn't come into effect until later due to three month moratorium imposed by Brioni Agreement. Two days later, on June 27th, Ten-Day War started in Slovenia, which marked the beginning of Yugoslav wars that lasted all the way into the new millennium. fuck off Batman fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Jun 25, 2015 |

Why write the name in Latin characters? It apparently refers to some anime character whose name was probably written in katakana in the original, so it's not like the Latin form is somehow more "authentic".
