Thanks to all for the replies. I figured it was mostly media bluster, but I hadn't been paying attention and when it's all you hear about the subject it's hard to get some understanding.

quote:

The government in Kiev has already announced that they will replace the traditional avatar of wartime remembrance in Russia, the orange-and-black Saint George’s Ribbon, with a red-and-black poppy, like those associated with Remembrance Day in Western Europe. Sergei Shoigu, the Russian Defense Minister, seized the opportunity, announcing the details of the annual military parade on Red Square, to declare “The most important political significance” of the holiday. “We must again demonstrate to the world Russia’s categorical rejection of Fascism,” he said.

Holy poo poo, ok. Putin should annex all of Ukraine to contain the spread of the poppy plague.

The ribbon in Russia is literally just a direct copy of the poppy that was popularised in 2005. Before that nobody wore them in that manner, and they were only on posters and postcards as part of the Victory medal. Or on actual medals, I guess.

Also note that on that mural he has the Russian imperial flag in the background along with the logos of Serbian League and SNP 1389 (far right nationalists). It's a real full monty.

Documentary series by a Hong Kong TV outlet about China poverty alleviation stuff. There's like 8 20 something minute episodes with English dub and subtitles. It's pretty good.

The cliff village in episode 1/2 is loving wild. I don't understand how that's real.

been really enjoying this, thanks

Wow, it's going to be a whole heap of trouble when Putin invades Ukraine. He shouldn't do it, imo.

genius PR move to incredibly hype up a thing that isn't going to happen, threaten horrendous consequences if it does happen, and then take credit for it not happening when it doesn't happen

clearly putin was just on the verge of invading Ukraine, his troops were right ready to go, but then he saw how Tough Guy Biden threatened to take action and backed down
