Lostconfused posted:Not Ukrainian enough. While some nationalists do love nazis, the streets get named after distinctly Ukrainian losers like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olena_Teliha and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleh_Olzhych who managed to piss off the other OUN factions and actual nazis enough that they got executed before even the soviets showed up. They're hipster nazis who are fans of the more obscure characters

Danann posted:(from t.me/TrackAMerc/1674, via tgsa) This exchange had Snake island PoWs, as well as national guard troops who were captured guarding Chernobyl. In both cases they were captured at the very beginning of the war. Looking at other prisoner swaps it's similar. https://mil.in.ua/en/news/52-ukrainians-released-from-russian-captivity/ quote:“We held another exchange of prisoners. We managed to release 52 of our people – officers, medics, sergeants and soldiers.” Yermak said. Some from Mariupol, some from Chernobyl and at least one from Snake island. It looks like the general program is first in first out. The DPR building cages and saying that they were going to start trying and executing Azov probably did bump them up the list a bit though. Even then the big release of Azov was for Medvedchuk, not so much for Russian soldiers (though 55 were kicked in, vs 215 Azov and Ukrainian marines released).

Jel Shaker posted:the high value stuff is still being produced by the USA, but china is increasingly reaching parity The Americans thought they figured it out by only keeping the high value portion of the service such as Apple is keeping the software portion high profile and moved everything manufacturing out of the country. Except China is getting so good at manufacturing now they completely copied the know-how in 2 years and outselling the US branded stuff overseas, see the EV industry. However telecom equipment sanction is not about fighting over the profitable portion in the supply chain, it's 100% about NSA losting the back doors.

I saw a propaganda video that mentioned a few times the suppression of the Ukrainian language, I tried finding some of the government decrees it claimed but so far no luck. I did find this paper (?) from a Japanese scholar hosted on the university website. There is a summary in English at the bottom. Numbers 1 through 8 in the lower half link to different sections of the same page with data tables that seem to machine translate nicely. https://src-h.slav.hokudai.ac.jp/publictn/46/shiokawa/shiokawa.html I have not yet read the long form pages, but the summary seems pretty good. first paragraph of English summary posted:Hitherto, Soviet language policy was often interpreted to be aimed at"Russification."Although this viewpoint is not entirely groundless, it is often exaggerated and tends to lead to a one-sided picture. It is true that many non-Russian nationalities in the Soviet Union have been, more or less, linguistically russified. But it cannot be denied that some nationalities, especially those with Union republics, have retained their national languages to a fairly high degree. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the language situation more fully on the basis of empirical data.

The Huawei stuff is just another manifestation of the US not actually believing in any of the capitalist ideology it extols*, because what they're doing is realizing that Huawei has a better product, and instead of trying to compete on fair terms, they'll just use their geopolitical power to force their vassals to stop using the competitor's products at gunpoint, under the guise of raising bogus concerns about security and spying. It's similar to how the California agriculture industry lobbies the US government to maintain sanctions on Iran, because it prevents Iran from getting to compete in pistachios. When two sub-national business firms get into this kind of fight, you get things like starting a rumor that your competitor's cookies are poisoned, or you pay off the local chief of police to hassle your competitor's factory, or you actually do send someone to poison the cookies. When imperial forces get into this kind of fight, you get the First World War. ___ * EDIT: in parallel, there's also that old video of an American political analyst outright saying that even if China adopted the US Constitution whole cloth and became a liberal democracy (somehow), that the US would still fight and suppress them because the development of a peer power is not acceptable, and is not an issue of anything else that country is or does besides being a peer power. And this ties back to Russia because the collapse of communism there didn't actually stop America from poking the bear. gradenko_2000 has issued a correction as of 12:01 on Nov 27, 2022 |

quote:In addition, since the ratio of Russians is generally higher in urban areas than in rural areas, it overlaps with the problems of urban and rural areas that I mentioned earlier. In Ukraine, the contrast between the West and the East, South, and Crimea will become a problem, and in Kazakhstan, the contrast between the North and the South, as well as the contrast between cities and rural areas, will occupy a large position.

To be fair, Huawei phones absolutely have backdoors in them. Both Chinese and US backdoors. The US intelligence industry has so badly compromised tech that even Chinese built phones have US backdoors in them. It's not really surprising that they don't want any competition in that market though.
