In Russia men are men and women are men and some of the animals are also men.

Admittedly, I think the entire construction boom of the 2010s in Turkey was pretty much one giant scam.

he wasn't nice to the EU basically. Like he wasn't even that aggressive or anything but he just didn't let NATO treat Russia as a vassal state and that had to be nipped in the bud

Yeah, that makes sense. I would still like to read something more in depth on how the relationship soured.

I do wonder what would be changed between the EU/US and Russia if, for example, a perfect liberal democracy were to spring up. It would be more or less the same I imagine lol. The geopolitical question of allowing Ukraine as a staging ground, for example, transcends systems of government

If you want to dive deep into this, I'd recommend "Creating Russophobia" by Guy Mettan

The short version is that the antagonism towards Russia is always going to be there just because of its place astride the Eurasian continent. Neither the US nor Western Europe can stand an independently-minded Russia because it's too large to act that way

seconding this rec, that book is a fantastic deep dive into why Russia specifically enrages western warmongers so much and yea it does boil down to basically very old nationalism/bigotry being continuously repackaged and updated, the script has been the same for ages but people keep falling for it because it focuses on basic western fears.

Putin actually hosed up a lot of the Western bankers who had been looting Russia for 8 years at that point.

The thing is he replaced them with Russians, though. But that's why the neolib ghouls hate him.

but if you must know my opinion is

quote:

Six Chinese police liaison officers will equip and train the Solomon Islands police force, a statement from the Solomon Islands government said on Thursday.

The Chinese equipment includes shields, helmets, batons and “other non-lethal gears that will further enhance Solomon Islands police ability in confronting future threats”, the statement said.

if anyone has knowledge on Chinese feminism or women’s emancipation in the prc I’d be interested in hearing it. looking at it in the SFR Yugoslavia and CSR shows it’s been a very complicated issue in socialist societies
