SaltyJesus posted:Heh, nice username Pajser. Yes I know, that's why most of the bosnians and kosovars didn't stay long. Other than those that we're already living here. "Izbrisani" was and still is, a clear case of petty political pissing and revenge for everyone, that voted no on independence. The fact that it still hasn't been sufficiently resolved shows that we are and always will be just another balkan shithole.

Tesseraction posted:Russia's got its hands in Egypt? Russia has been conducting a bunch of arms sales with the Egyptians and also signed a trade treaty I think alongside helping build them a reactor. This is alongside obviously Syria and Iran and a proposed gas pipeline with Turkey. If anything the Middle East has become Russia's "silent" playground.

Ahhh, I see. This is revenge for the Soviet-Afghan War I'm telling you. I bet Putin goes into his inner chamber and puts on his old KGB uniform before making geopolitical decisions.

Cugel the Clever posted:Sooooo what's the likelihood Egypt will turn around and sell them to Russia? Two seems excessive but at the same time it looks like Egypt is conducting something of a naval modernization. They've purchased a new frigate from France and several new fast attack boats from the US. This is different from the more general model of pick up retiring/refurbished ships from larger navies.

Does a helicopter/amphibious landing craft have any use for Egypt's navy? That's a bit more heavy duty and specialized than protecting coastal waters.

They've also ordered four Gowind-class corvettes, with two more in option, and were interested in increasing that number further.

SaltyJesus posted:Slovenia doesn't have the greatest track record with integrating other ethnicities what with the izbrisani. Fun fact: My mother was born in Slovenia, since her father was stationed there at the time. She used to be actually fluent in Slovenian since she learned it from playing with other kids and stuff like that. The family moved out while she was still a child, though, and she hasn't spoken a word of it since. Once Yugoslavia got broken up, getting her birth certificate was a bit of an issue.

Probably increased presence in the Arabian sea in Anti-piracy, maybe some international anti-refugee boat work in the med. Potentially support for a variety of anti terrorist activities among Arab petro states. Most importantly a keystone for military modernization and international support for the post-Mubarak military government.

People have commented about this video clip of Putin with Netanyahu to discuss Israel's concerns about Russia fighting in Syria. Either Putin is wearing new shoes and they're pinching his feet, or he's really uncomfortable talking to Benny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVyc6Wep7BI And Russia putting an air base in Belarus seems to be alerting the west that Russia's "clipping" Belarus's wings. I thought Russia and Belarus had been talking about the Russians setting up a base in Belarus for years. http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/09/23/putin-clips-lukashenkos-wings-with-air-base-in-belarus/ quote:Aleksandr Lukashenko, Belarus’s autocratic president, has earned a reputation over his 20 years in power for playing Moscow and Brussels off each other for financial assistance and political cover. But with Russia finally set to build an air base there, Lukashenko’s days of weaving between Russia and the West, and extracting benefits from both, may be over.

Either Putin is wearing new shoes and they're pinching his feet, or he's really uncomfortable talking to Benny. You know how all the European leaders are nervous around Putin, with all his bravado about nuking America if they got the chance and they better not do anything or they'll cut off the gas and invade Poland? That's how Putin feels around Netanyahu, because he knows if Russia, through Syria or Iran, landed an type of offensive weapon anywhere in Israel, the Israelis would probably nuke Moscow along with Damascus and Tehran in retaliation. Basically, Netanyahu is Putin's Putin.

sparatuvs posted:Serbia just banned trucks from Croatia entering the country. Yes. Croatia banned trucks coming in from Serbia from entering Croatia (more-less embargoing us) the same time it closed off the border to the refugees, causing severe economic damage in addition to the humanitarian one. After attempted negotiations failed, with frankly insane stuff coming from the Croatian government as an explanation, up to and including their PM accusing Serbia of being in a conspiracy with Hungary(lol) and the HDZ(wtf) to dump the refugees in Croatia, and blaming us for the truck driver strike on the border (gee, I wonder what could have possibly pissed off blocked off truck drivers), our government blocked truck transit the other way, too. Frankly, I don't think it's a good move, but it's a tit-for-tat. This article/video is related to it: my dad posted:For those who speak Serbo-Croatian, there was an interesting discussion between the Serbian minister of trade Rasim Ljajić of and the Croatian minister of internal affairs Rajko Ostojić on N1 TV.

I'll see if I can find the time to do a quick translation of the article my dad posted later today. Re winter: This is just local news (and in Serbian) http://www.niskevesti.info/grade-se-4-nova-prihvatna-centra-za-migrante-i-u-nisu-jedno-prihvatiliste/ but essentially our gov't announced that they are aiming to build at least three more temporary reception centers for refugees by the start of this winter, one in Preševo, one in Miratovci (the border crossing with Macedonia) and one in Belgrade. After that they'll consider building a second center in Niš. The capacity of each of the centers will be 1000 people.

Just to prove how undeserving we Estonians are of our own country, the prosecutor in charge of the case of corrupt mayor accidentally sent some personal case notes to the lawyers of the mayor who was detained. They immediately revealed it to the newspapers. I bet even if he was convicted he would still walk (not literally, seeing as he has one leg), still be elected and still be the mayor or what the gently caress ever. Is there even a paragraph to prevent a convicted person from holding a state job ever again, I wonder. I don't dare hope for any actual prison term, more like parole just as always, seeing as he has just one leg. Bullshit. We have such strong democracy that opposition members could do what ever they please and get away with it, lest we be seen as being authoritarian. Well here's hoping that he will be removed from office today. Meanwhile our president and the prime minister have expressed regret that our reputation in the world has suffered a blow. Yeah, otherwise we could still pretend that things are fine.

Neither does Croatia, from what I can gather, but hey, what's the point of diplomacy when embargos are so much more fun? Everyone would have been saved a lot of effort if we all sat down together and set a bunch money on fire. The financial effect would have been the same, but without the international tensions.
