Far from Russia Ukraine?Baronjutter posted:Yeah because Russia doesn't have any neo-nazis' and putin doesn't personally have a bunch of "nationalists" at his beck and call. It's funny because the average Russian can't see this. To them the most defining thing of a nazi is hating russians and wanting to kill russians. You can't be a fascist if you don't want to wipe out all russians. I honestly can't tell what's propaganda, what's lack of education and what's plain old stupidity. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Dec 22, 2015 |

The Russians still got Crimea and that seems to have been the real prize so there's no reason reason not to leave the separatists to hang out to dry if they turn out nonprofitable. One thing the whole Syria mess does really well is divert attention from that.

Plus the Balts aren't Slavs obviously and they're EE, and the Czechs are so polluted by filthy Hapsburg blood they may as well not be Slavs either. Finland can be EE too if it wants. I'd like to think EE is a little alarm siren that pops up whenever someone mentions Russia. To be fair, Finland's headed that way the moment Putin decides he wants a slice. It seems to come to him whenever there are Olympics.

Weed is very much criminal here, it's just that no one gives a gently caress. Although I do feel for you in that regard, the new government over there seems to be headed straight back to Middle Ages. edit: Well, technically it's not criminal since you can get away with having less than 5 plants and most cops can't count that high. It's still a forbidden substance so having a small amount counts as an offence, so the only legal way is to have up to five plants for decoration or something. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Jan 13, 2016 |

Shes Not Impressed posted:Louis Theroux's brother did a docu about the dwindling Russian population and the high infection rates of HIV/AIDS. Some towns are 90%+ infected. One reason given for the spread of the virus was that it is considered a non-white disease. Only those dirty Africans get it and if you're loving one, well then you deserve it. Those attitudes combined with little funding for HIV health centers etc. has meant an increasing epidemic.

That's a Good Article and I'm saying that as a Czech. She hits the nail on the head of a lot of the problems - if you had to describe the Vietnamese community here in one phrase, it'd be "inobtrusively omnipresent". They originally did their drat best not to alert anyone - and I honestly can't blame them, the whole roma issue and more recently the immigration clusterfuck prove that if anything, the Czech majority is racist as hell. The Vietnamese if anything managed to dodge a bullet there by being sterotypized as hard-working and comical as opposed to being outright despised which is what happens to, well, just about everyone else. I had a couple Vietnamese schoolmates at the college and we talked about this, apparently there's a young generation that actually wants to stay and expand behind the niches they're forced into, but they're finding resistance both from Czechs and the older Vietnamese that seem to regard the country as means to an end. I'd love to say there's a chance for this generation to actually grow some roots here - but I'm not too hopeful. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 11:37 on Feb 11, 2016 |

It's a shame; I recently ate at a Vietnamese market and the food there was delicious.

It's really a matter of setting up the "significant Russian population" there. I honestly think he's pretty much saber-rattling in there to divert attention from Ukraine. The more escalated the situation in that region, the less willing will the West be to do something about the actual invasion.
