Here's a wild idea - replace that utterly retarded cathechesis thing with a civics class and maybe in another 50 years we'll have a semi-decent functional society.

Great deals for the members of parliament of Estonia - get a free car by the end of your term. One free car for your children, another free car for your wife. Lexus, Rolls-Royce, it doesn't matter. If only I were a lawless anarchist right now....

Some more funny news from a small and stupid Slav country! People in Slovenia are pissed about this whole refugee thing. Like, really really pissed. There's people going "We should restart Auschwitz and send these people there... and quick!". So this random person started a tumblr: http://zlovenija.tumblr.com/ It contains some nice facebook photos of people smiling/with their friends/family etc, coupled with their public facebook comments. Following that, as of yet anonymous person started printing these out and posting them around towns:  So now we have pictures of people smiling at you from lamp posts and public poster spaces, along with their  refugees comments. It's wonderful.

Pierogi posted:When I visited Kobarid i especially appreciated the nice state in which you keep the local monumental/brutalist/fascist church&cemetery built to Benito's specs. Ok short story time about an expat from I wanna say some 4-5 years ago. He was back from the US, visiting friends&family, short holiday, that kind of poo poo. He lands at the airport, starts his car trip towards the capital, sees a new path and a conspicuous new thingy some 50m off the road that definitely wasn't there 2-3 years ago during his last visit. Decides to take a look. Stops his car next to what appears to be a monument of some sorts. Looks fairly well built, probably expensive. He gets out, starts reading. The monument says, and I quote, "Dedicated to all those, who fell defending their country, religion, homes against the partisan threat," and then some other religious/patriotic bullshit I'll probably never remember. Now, the only country that ever had to be defended against the partisan threat around here was the 3rd Reich, so I can understand how confused he was! After it was explained that that's the kind of poo poo we do in this country now, thanks to a growing revisionist faction, he was pretty pissed. It really says something about this lovely country when the first thing you stumble upon while driving from the airport to the capital town is a brand spankin new monument to Nazi collaborators. I don't think he's ever coming back again  kalstrams posted:Is Slovenia Zlovenia in Slovenian or may this be a word play around (hopefully similar to Russian "zlo") word "evil"? It's the latter, yeah.

Why would anyone take up arms against such nice people?

Why would anyone take up arms against such nice people? I'm going to be fairly blunt here: The fact that what Tito's Partizans did in Slovenia at the rear end end of WW2 manages to show up as a big blip on your warcrime radar is less of a statement about how brutal the Partizans were, and more of a statement about just how much Slovenians collaborated with the Nazis. Not because of how much Tito did, but because of how little the Nazis did. And I'm saying this as someone who despises Tito.

So after the demise of that young Russian soldier in Syria, I've been reading up on dedovshchina. Couple of questions. First, how reliable is Novaya Gazeta? I know they're a major bug-bear for Putin, but how solid is their journalism? Second, the Wikped article says that after a kid called Ruslan Aiderkhanov died in what's suspected to be a dedovshchina incident, the sole witness willing to testify, one Danil Chalkin, showed up dead, but I've been unable to find any sourcing on this. Does any exist, or is it just Wikipedia spicing the story up?

Moldova's parliament is set to vote on a motion of no confidence over that banking scandal where a billion dollars in deposits just vanished. http://news.yahoo.com/moldova-parliament-seen-backing-no-confidence-vote-against-114926533.html Reuters seems to think it is likely to succeed. Are there any Georgia goons about? I've been trying to read up on the Rustavi-2 fight going on right now but there's not much out there in English, and Google translate is... not great for Georgian. E: Novaya Gazeta is generally quite good

Per him, military were able to extinguish only the first hit. As of now, 2 civilians dead and 2 wounded, evacuation is happening. One of the dead is a shop employee that got killed by blast of a round blasted into the said shop. Emergency services say that they are helpless woth regards to fighting the fire due to danger imposed by explosions. drat we were doing so well The SBU says it was an enemy action as well. ass struggle fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Oct 30, 2015 |

I hope they are doing very well with evacuation. Weirdly enough, ATO chief did say that rescue services are working on site and that there are no victims. Also, it appears that explosions have damaged some phone towers and some railway tracks. Edit: That was speaker, not chief, and that idiot has also said that population was safe.

Elukka posted:I can't offhand identify just what it (early variant T-64 maybe?) is but that looks like some fairly old tank to me, so if it's one Ukraine has used it might well be captured. Russia doesn't much seem to care about plausible deniability here so they just drive around with their newest T-72B3's and whatnot. Russia actually started by driving in some hastily refitted T-64s they had lying around, but then just kinda gave up.

They are also using these as a propaganda piece to scare Ukraine, theres been a few cases of T72s having an extremely aggressive tempo, then T64s actually conducting the battle, before T72s post up again further demoralizing the yukies. Its probably a T64, but DNR engineers frankenesteined it.

Dusty Baker 2 posted:Short for Ukrainian I think, he may have just made it up. I've always seen it spelled 'ukie' (pronounced "You-key"); but it's at least a reasonably common regional shorthand for the word Ukrainian in the Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/Toronto area, where there is a fairly established and interconnected set of Ukrainian communities including multiple chapters from two separate Boy Scouts analogues (Plast and CYM) and related summer camps. The term extends back at least 25 years and probably longer, and has not really been used much outside the community nor used as a pejorative to my knowledge.  Whether it's used much outside those contexts/those regions, I can't really say beyond I don't run across it myself.
