I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

Communism isn't real and all our citizens are too smart to be spies for some horrible genocidal dictatorship so I'm perfectly sure all those far left and right politicians praising ruski mir and putin have no external influence at all.

quote:

"We’re a lawful state and want all laws to apply equally to everyone" - relatives of Russian convicts used in "meat assaults" are demanding Putin to explain why their family members are not insured despite orders by MoD and government, resulting in tens of thousands of ex-convicts not getting paid any money for injuries or deaths. Official departments tell them - you went there to get clemency, that’s the best you can get if you survive.

Well, that and the fact because of how ethnic minorities are treated in Russia Shoigu is literally the only guy in Putin's cabin who has nothing to gain and everything to lose if Vova kicks it. Only reason he isn't a dirt farmer or coal miner in Siberia is because he got the nod from the guy larping tsar of the Russian empire.

None, it's ignorant and racist to suggest that Russia and China are trying to buy European politicians.

I mean, in the Cold War era, there was at least the idealistic veneer of thinking that socialism was a better way of life for any bought-off politician. These new ones are just contemptible in their self-service.

That long pause just before he says "collapse of the Soviet Union".

:discourse:

It hurts the baldy little piggy-eyed bastard on the inside to remember this, and seeing that quiet bitterness show on his face for those few seconds as the realisation sinks in (yet again) that the USSR is dead and buried (and that there's no loving way he'll see it reform, never mind be the man to make it happen) warms my heart. gently caress him. I hope he falls down some stairs and shits his pants. Again.

Ukrainian milibloggers should scribble minefields all over maps, except in places where (Russian) minefields actually are.

you gotta carefully take into account your enemies feelings in order to stomp on them. mearsheimer has been wrong consistently, but that doesn't mean realism isn't a valid way to look at this, it's just that the balancing entities are russians vs. the entirety of non-russian non-belarussian east europe

I don't think that makes sense. Shoigu has kept his position because he's loyal and placid. He's been in the government since the 90s, Putin inherited him from Yeltsin, he never rocked the boat, never was a threat to his bosses, never showed too much ambition. You don't need weird orientalism to explain his staying power, and neither does it make sense to claim that it's either a cabinet post or abject poverty with nothing in-between for one of the most powerful men in Russia.

Enough nukes to wipe out everything not-Russia and the rockets to do so. They were all new and working at the time, and they had an Iron Curtain up, and the paperwork to keep track of it all. It... may have fallen by the wayside in some ways since the Soviet heyday.



Amazing.
