I think Xi's point was that the actions of the party during those periods made sense in the context of those periods, even if they differed. That was what done under Deng wasn't possible under Mao, and what was necessary under Mao wasn't needed under Deng. Also, to be honest, are they doxx people in this thread for making a little too logical of a case significant damage being done by artillery system? I always found the irony has been that for the most part no one is really saying anything actual radical in this thread beyond "boy...this makes absolutely no sense."

I always found the irony has been that for the most part no one is really saying anything actual radical in this thread beyond "boy...this makes absolutely no sense." the most damning accusations about this thread is that several of the members want to smooch Putin on his lips, but I've never seen Frosted Flake declare his loyalty to Putin in this way. The only people who have a real problem with this thread are those deranged souls who think that having a thread of people who express anti US imperialism sentiments and don't fully buy the Ukrainian propaganda somehow makes the forums "look bad" to outsiders, or if they are even more delusional those that believe in the online battlefield or w/e and how fighting on twitter is just as important as what goes on in Ukraine. You know, the idea if everyone in the world was united in posting Putin monkey memes he would be flung down into the depths of hell that very moment.

Literally designed to blow the rear end out of them within a year

Frosted Flake posted:Isn't the brand built on using the rivets? Yeah, and also the brand still uses rivets. They did remove crotch rivets in the 1940s, so maybe some posters ITT are much older than I thought. Rivets were removed from the back pockets in the 1960s.

mlmp08 posted:From another perspective, Russia is attacking Ukraine in order to engage in resistance against challenges to their sphere of influence. So the Russian leadership is choosing war and death in the name of resisting Ukraine’s realignment to other countries they do not like. Ukraine must capitulate for Russia's defiance of the west's war of aggression to succeed. Everybody has to make sacrifices I suppose.

Bad news for the Belarussian democratic forces coalesced around Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya - Opposition plans to overthrow Moscow-backed dictator are back on hold after his role in halting Wagner mutiny https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/29/belarusian-exiles-hopes-dashed-as-lukashenko-boasts-of-saving-putin Belarusian exiles’ hopes dashed as Lukashenko boasts of saving Putin For a few hours on Saturday, as troops loyal to the renegade warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin marched on Moscow, the Belarusian opposition in exile believed Day X had arrived. That is how the democratic forces coalesced around Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who fled Belarus in 2020 after Alexander Lukashenko rigged a presidential vote and then ruthlessly crushed massive protests, refer to the day they hope to overthrow the Moscow-backed dictator. As the news of Prigozhin’s extraordinary mutiny broke on Saturday morning, Tsikhanouskaya convened a video call of her “transitional cabinet”, half based in Vilnius and half in Warsaw, to begin implementing the plan for Day X. “We were preparing for the storming of the Kremlin by Prigozhin’s troops and [subsequently] instability inside Belarus,” Tsikhanouskaya said in a telephone interview. Her cabinet made contact with a Belarusian regiment fighting as part of the Ukrainian army and readied a plan to activate partisan groups inside Belarus to perform a series of actions aimed at paralysing the regime, Tsikhanouskaya said. “We got a lot of signals from inside Belarus that people were ready and waiting to go to the streets,” said Pavel Latushka, a former Belarusian culture minister who is now a key opposition leader. Then, on Saturday evening, an unexpected announcement put an end to the Day X excitement, just as it was building. Prigozhin turned his troops back after a deal negotiated by the unlikeliest of brokers – Lukashenko himself. The Belarusian leader announced he had spent the day talking to Prigozhin, and claimed he had persuaded the warlord to call off his march on Moscow in exchange for safe passage to exile in Belarus for Prigozhin and his Wagner group fighters. The announcement initially met with widespread scepticism. But the Kremlin confirmed the contours of the deal, the FSB dropped its case against Prigozhin, and on Tuesday Vladimir Putin thanked Lukashenko for his help in resolving the crisis. It all amounted to a remarkable political coup for the Belarusian leader. ... Putin and Lukashenko have long had a fractious personal relationship beneath the public bonhomie, but now more than ever they appear to be stuck with each other, however irritated the Russian president may be by Lukashenko’s boasting. While this means security guarantees for Lukashenko’s regime, there is another side to the coin of their intertwined fates. If Prigozhin’s aborted coup proves to be just the start of a seriously turbulent period for the Kremlin, Lukashenko’s rule will also become harder to sustain. “He wouldn’t last a single day without Putin,” Tsikhanouskaya said.

It turned out the crotch rivet could get very hot if you were sitting in front of a fire and then shifting position could put the hot rivet in contact with your unmentionables.

He was likely drafted into it, the TV show was a bit of a surprise hit and Poroshenko's popularity had taken enough of a hit it made sense for Kolomoisky to make a move (there had been a sharp falling out between the two of them and an investigation into his properties). Kolomoisky himself had flip-flopped over taking a hard/soft approach versus the Kremlin, but would have probably found some type of treaty with Russia acceptable. The "political types" putting pressure on Zelensky back in 2019 were almost certainly at the behest of the US. So there are a bunch of oligarch shenanigans in the background to all of this, but ultimately, Ukraine has always been a US project.

fits my needs posted:has anyone written an article comparing this stuff to confederate statues in the US or something Good news for people seeking articles comparing Soviet-era statues to Confederate statues in the US. https://www.npr.org/2020/07/21/892914684/what-to-do-with-toppled-statues-russia-has-a-fallen-monument-park What To Do With Toppled Statues? Russia Has A Fallen Monument Park July 21, 20205:04 AM ET ... In Muzeon, the context of the Soviet monuments has changed entirely, she says, and the presence of so many other sculptures — mostly apolitical — has deprived them of their symbolic power. Today Muscovites take yoga classes or rollerblade near the "Avenue of Leaders," which features statues of Soviet rulers such as Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin and Leonid Brezhnev. "I consider these sculptures to be part of our history," says Artyom Golbin, a park guide and historian who was born in 1992, the same year Muzeon was founded. "The history of Russia — and any other country — has different periods, some of them bad, some of them good. Still, we have to remember them, and these sculptures are an important reminder of Soviet times." Natasha Zamkovaya, strolling past Brezhnev with a friend, agrees that the monuments are needed to preserve the past. And the same applies to controversial statues in the United States, she says. "I'm against just sweeping away monuments. Those people had some sort of authority, their statues didn't just stand there for nothing," says Zamkovaya, 27. "They're also a part of American history." ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/17/world/europe/european-monuments-statues-communism.html Political Rage Over Statues? Old News in the Old World By Rick Lyman Aug. 17, 2017 Recent episodes of rage and bloodshed over the removal of Confederate statues in the United States have a familiar ring for Europeans, who have been battling over their historical narratives and tearing down statues of noxious former leaders since the Bronze Age — and probably before. “There are some similarities between what is happening in Poland and what is happening in the United States,” said Antoni Dudek, a contemporary historian and board member at Poland’s Institute of National Remembrance, created after the fall of communism to document the totalitarian crimes of the past. “The argument about monuments, which should be resolved mostly between historians and citizens, has become a substitute for everyday political fights,” he said. “The same goes for the States now that President Trump has joined the debate. Suddenly, the argument got much more intense.” Under legislation passed in June, Poland’s right-wing government has given local officials and landowners just one year to remove all public monuments and memorials that “pay tribute to persons, organizations, events or dates symbolizing communism or other totalitarian systems.” About 500 have been identified, almost all from the Communist era as the Soviets had already removed Nazi ones. Slovakia, which broke away after the fall of communism, also reveres Masaryk, but has built its own stable of national heroes, with the biggest disputes over the country’s wartime leader, Jozef Tiso, who was hanged for collaborating with the Nazis. Though monuments to Tiso are still shunned in most of the country, the small village of Cakajovce has erected its own Pantheon of Slovak Historical Figures, with Tiso at the center.
