JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:what's goin on in ukraine Friend's mom just went back there even though she begged her to either stay here with her or in Poland with her brother. But she's a doctor and says she can't just abandon her patients. For my friend's sake I wish she'd stayed, but I get it.

Yeah I think he's just putting on weight in general. He got fat in the mid-00s and then slimmed down and now he's ballooning out again. Relatable!

supersnowman posted:The people who think Putin's death will mean a collapse for Russia are setting themselves up for a rude awakening if a hardliner actually take power after Putin. People are continually bombarded with propaganda headlines about "Putin's Russia" and "Putin's war": you can forgive them for assuming that if Putin just goes, everything would basically be good again. The war can't be discussed in western media in terms of competing power blocs: instead, it's highly individualised as all being down to one man's baffling insane criminality.

Btw, if Putin dies, Mishustin will take power not Medvedev, Mishustin is also relatively popular and generally seen as competent. In all honesty, it would be an improvement even if Mishustin is also very much a liberal.

Majorian posted:And without the context of decades of leadup to this point, at that. That or public opinion still has influence and people have made their own choices. In all honesty, the anti-war protests in Russia were pretty small and the people most opposed to it largely left with mobilization. If you got rid of Putin, the apparatus would produce someone very much like him (a right-wing liberal). Navalny and the pro-West liberals have always had a silver of support (3-5%) and simply don't have enough to make any headway especially now. The KPRF has talked about is a hodgepodge party that isn't really unified enough to do much and besides its core of pensioners it's voting bloc seems easily capturable by either side.

Popular support doesn't really mean anything when there's no tradition of democracy, that kind of support is more easily built after taking power than as part of a process to gain public consent beforehand

In the West it has always been about giving a limited set of choices with minimal differences in policy and Russia is no different. In Russia, the choice comes down to if Moscow or Washington will be directing the affairs of the country, and while people often gripe, they still prefer Moscow. People in the US would prefer eliminating student debt and more social support, but it is never going to happen. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 21:30 on Dec 9, 2022 |

According to Peter Zeihan, Russia will cease to exist by 2030 and Chinur by 2040. Gordon Chang taught him well.

Gosh, I wonder why they haven't proposed a Ukrainian composer we should listen to instead?  Since they failed to recommend anything else, this is now required listening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuHQgmoSKGs

Transliteration of Cyrillic is always fun. There's a pretty famous (well in math) Russian math guy who you can find his name written in like 6 or 7 different ways. quote:Chebysheff, Chebyshov, Tschebyscheff, Tschebycheff, Tchebycheff
