Eh, build up your army cohesion or whatever needs to be done. I am more upset that it seems like neither the museum or MID will respond to the latest shitpost, thus granting the Ru embassy an internet victory

BigRoman posted:Does Russia have the technical ability to transfer water/build enough desalinization plants to make up for the deficit? I guess what I'm asking is, was this not addressed earlier due to a lack of political will, or is it beyond their technical/financial ability to address this issue? Well, Kuwait manages to keep its population of almost double Crimea going with desalinization plants that it got built in the 60s, so it seems like Russia could do it, and it's probably more of a question of how long it would take to build and how much money Russia is willing to spare. Of course, I think Crimea has more agriculture and ecology to look out for, so that would probably increase the cost much more.

Thats hilarious, the russian state accuses Navalny of not reporting to his parole officer while he was in coma, as reported by everyone including Pooty himself?

It's worse than that, 1) Putin boasted that he was the one that "allowed" Navalny be transported to Germany 2) The case that he is on probation for was declared unjust and arbitrary by the European human rights court and Russia paid him and his brother compensations: https://meduza.io/en/news/2018/08/0...ves-rocher-case , when they were "convicted" the brother was jailed and spent 1.5 years in prison. It was widely speculated that this was Kremlin's message that they will go after your family to gently caress you up in addition to make sure Alekei N has a bogus conviction so that he can't run for office after getting about 25% in the Moscow mayoral elections in 2013. And after all this Borrell goes to Moscow to suck off Lavrov and attempt some kind of reset, what the gently caress

Borrell got hosed over hard in Russia, but the EU diplomacy is having none of it. They’ve been making some aggresive statements through Borrell today. I can only assume they’re getting a boost from Joe.

The Moscow protests are no longer a thing. It’s too cold to remain outside for any serious length of time. I hope the poo poo gets real again in spring. The EU and US diplomatic response is truly pathetic. Vlad can do whatever and get away with it. I joined a real life political organisation. It’s called Civil Society (abbreviated GrOb). The bad: it appears to be organised by Eastern European libertarians. The good: it’s progressive? They have an LGBT and a feminist sub-faction. The bad: the feminist faction is run by a man and they post TERF stuff translated from some UK blog. The terrible: the first thing I see when I join the private GrOb chat room was a guy named Ludwig von Mises preaching that people who don’t believe in hating homos don’t believe in anything at all if you think about it.

To be fair, we’re in terra incognita here. Just because the protests haven’t resulted in immediate change, doesn’t mean they’re not achieving something. Heck, if anything, 90% of the time sudden revolutions start of well and then descend into a clusterfuck. Maybe it needs to take time.

Heck, if anything, 90% of the time sudden revolutions start of well and then descend into a clusterfuck. Maybe it needs to take time. That's my takeaway from the Belarusian protests. Chatham House's research shows that even among people who support protests, the majority don't particularly trust opposition political figures. More people trust them than Lukashenko, obviously, but it's clear there is a demand for a clear vision (or a variety to choose from) for Belarus without Lukashenko. It's easy to say that protests accomplished nothing, but Lukashenko wouldn't even be promising a constitutional referendum in 2022 today, if it weren't for them. The Overton window of opinions re stability versus change has moved towards the latter. Despite Lukashenko's denial, literally all his actions right now are affected by the protests in one way or another. It is important not to let that positive potential go to waste, though, and continue to apply pressure no matter what, even if it's going to take another year, even without flashy hundred-thousand strong marches.

I absolutely love reading the comment sections on articles about the FSB poisonings here in Germany. When office hours start in Russia, every single article on that subject gets a massive flood of comments in broken German about "where from you hard verified proofs? The hyprocticia from west as always!" Or "the belling cat pet of MI6. you investigate who pays" but then every single reply is calling them out as russian trolls and tells them to gently caress off and get a real job. I didn't think I would ever be proud of people posting in news comment section but here we are. Strange times.

Protests are for a more democratic system, not the particular people leading it. That would be decided through elections, watched by a free media and judged by independent courts. I would love to see Batka as president with all the normal checks and balances in place and media and prosecutors on his heels.

Because only in this country government can be preparing terrorist acts on their own people to shut them up. https://tass.ru/proisshestviya/10677377 Some gently caress-knows what terrorist org is preparing to bomb a few mass gatherings this summer in russia. Only "mass gatherings this summer in russia" I can think of are the already announced protests. And oh yes how good and kind of them to tell ministry of defence that they will be blowing these up. I was tempted to joke around this as usual, BUT loving GOD PUTIN gently caress OFF STOP BLOWING PEOPLE UP WHEN YOUR RATING FALLS

Both of our societies are engaged in internal struggles to achieve freedom, equality, peace, and tolerance. We have had and continue to have leaders who do evil things, but their evil doesn't taint you, personally, as long as you aren't embracing the fascism. There are things I can genuinely be proud of, as an American. I think there are things that you can genuinely be proud of as a Russian as well.

The summit of Belarusians that was happening last 2 days, which was meant to re-legitimize Lukashenko and show popular support actually cheered me up. It showed that we struck true. He was raging and raving, when his regimented time was 1.5 hrs, he spoke for 3+. Second day was especially good when he didn't just read pre-written speeches but speak on his own, a lot of it was barely comprehensible gibberish. It was kind of like a theater of one actor, there was a lot of emotion, hate, hurt, whatever you call it when a person feels betrayed, mutually exclusive statements. Praises to Russia and swears of eternal devotion interspersed with oaths to defend sovereignty to the last drop of blood. It is pretty funny to read RU news pieces about it because they try to process what he sad and deliver in readable form but just more or less baffled. BY independent news know better and just deliver best quotes. Honestly I would be more demoralized if the proceedings were calm, measured, everyone would deliver their part of dealing with the revolutionary menace. Instead ot was kind of like a concert when the lead throws a tantrum instead of singing best hits.

Apart from the hilarity, this time Lukashenko actually promised something concrete about constitutional reforms. He can deny it all he wants, but he would have never done it without the protests. Of course, he's prone to breaking his own promises, but it's clear that he's under a lot of pressure.

Talking about aforementioned particular austrian painter-turned-fuhrer. Soloviev (one of the smarter and very evil putin's mouthpieces) practically pardoned adolf, praising Hitler! for courage!! and not evading military service (this is how he loving ended up in germany, lmao) and other 'good things' (missing quite a few historic points) while comparing him to Navalny, calling Alexei a "codpiece fuhrer" (poisoned panties reference). Funny poo poo, the whole tirade fits putin as the codpiece fuhrer much better. But ofc no one will ever question Soloviev, meanwhile a small time blogger is in prison for a post about how bad Nazis are. Because it had a picture of parade with swastika flag. The flag was burned or torn, i don't recall now but it was obvious that it was a historically accurate post. Nevertheless... All this while Navalny is being trialed for defamation of a WW2 veteran, who starred for a second in some propaganda video that Navalny criticized heavily. The whole trial is such a circus that it's impossible to follow it without facepalming every moment the prosecutor speaks. At least Alexei is having as much fun as he can in this situation, debacling every point of charges even without legal base, just by logic. They are trying so hard, god it's all such a shitshow.

Want to see perversion? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx7WlM6bVuQ Here is metallica playing a song by Viktor Tsoy. And there are russians recording it on thier iphones, the entire stadium is more or less privileged people enjoying a rebellion song. I once spoke to a Siberian girl who explained to me that she had to gift her car to her boss because she "screwed up" and boss also happens to be a local governor. This was utter bullshit that she somehow accumulated a "debt" to him WHILE loving WORKING FOR HIM. She thought it was normal. There is Kremlin who does all sort of poo poo and there is local government who does all they want with center's permission.

Well, looks like he's getting there (if these polls can be believed): This is from the Estonian special services report on the geopolitical situation in 2021 so they give some weight to it: https://valisluureamet.ee/pdf/raport/2021-ENG.pdf There's a good chance that grandpa will go for another "small, victorious war" to boost his ratings, since for some reason using the huge currency reserves to help people hit by the covid epidemic or addressing the increasing poverty is not something the state is willing to consider. But they have to do something for the coming parliamentary elections, so more repressions at the least. quote:What's happening with the Russian protests now? Have they just died out? Or suppressed effectively? They didn't want to tire people out by gathering them into big marches every weekend to their city centers especially during the cold, so on Valentine's day they asked people to gather into their neighborhoods with flashlights to show support to Navalny. Apparently this is something they've copied from the Belarus protests, which is an interesting approach to build personal networks among like-minded people By the way, is there anyone from Montenegro here? I'd like to know how the decision to drop the attempted coup case was explained and received by the nation Somaen fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Feb 20, 2021 |
