Navalny is alright but Putin's regime is doing everything it can to slowly wear him and the public out with show-trials. They are very careful not to make him a martyr, they put his brother in jail and not him, they are playing coy with "convicts can't run for president!". I think they are hoping that people get sick of hearing of him and he can be quietly put in jail, or people keep hearing that he's a criminal on state television and he is allowed to run late in the game, doesn't have time to organize a campaign and the ballots get stuffed, so the government can say that "see? only 8 percent support him". The Russian government is like a crazy abusive gaslighting husband. So the candidates that will get 90% of the vote will be Putin, Zyuganov and Zhirik. The same guys that were there at the top in the 1996 election. Russia is a country frozen in time, ruled by people for whom time stopped in 1983.

It's an interesting overview of the situation, but the answer is basically 1. Be rich 2. Don't have a significant Russian minority I mean, that's not incorrect, but implementing that is 1. Difficult and 2. Frowned upon mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Mar 3, 2017 |

Dwesa posted:Perhaps, solutions mostly unavailable (at least for decades) in rest of EE and implementation of the second would invite little green men. But it's nice to see some country being successful in countering russian propaganda. Finnlandisierung isn't countering Russian propaganda. The Finnish government has been played like a fiddle several times and made to look like the weak link in the EU. The lack of bite is the fault of the Russian side, the result of an endless succession of provocations that would sour any country without a susceptible population base - nothing that the Finnish state has accomplished.

That's pretty standard JKM boilerplate. It wouldn't even make a list of the top 25 craziest and offensive things he's said. My personal favorite is when he insisted that political ideology is transmitted to women through their husband's semen.

Perception is a big thing for Russia and having things they can use for propaganda purposes to show "life is normal and good here thanks to us, PLEASE IGNORE WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS!" is very important when your incompetent kleptocracy creates hellish places like Transnistria.

Well today we find out if PiS has successfully managed to sabotage Donald Tusk's chances for reelection as president of the European council. It's a breathtakingly petty act by a diseased dwarf and his party of sycophantic toadies but it looks like it may work. Tusk has the support of Germany, Italy and France in addition to many smaller countries but PiS is adamantly opposed to his reelection and has been crawling up Theresa May's rear end in hopes she will support someone else. My fantasy is that Tusk isn't reelected, comes back to Poland and retakes the reigns of PO and proceeds to destroy PiS and imprison their leaders for the various constitutional violations they've committed since being elected.

I'm seeing more western press with this story that Belarus is the next Ukraine. The spin in this article is Belarus could be Trump's first test as president. I still find great difficulty putting the word Trump and president in the same sentence. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/international/322841-facing-protests-and-an-antsy-russia-is-belarus-the-next
