Sad because they are not being killed by former cocitizens.
“Thanks to you we can sleep in peace and prepare for Christmas. We can get used to.”
Below is a video of Ukrainian conscripts going to the front. They will have to endure the bloodiest conflict in our time. They will have to stand in flooded trenches, freezing, bathing in their own excrement.
Meanwhile, warmongering shitheads miles away from the front want Moscow to burn. Check out the most watched video on my video dump on YouTube.
And get a taste of cheering banderovite shitheads in the comments.
A pretty gruesome mass shooting has occurred on the grounds of the Philosophical Faculty of the Charles University in Prague several days ago. A student of history shot and killed 15 people. There is a widespread sadness.
The black flag is next to the Ukrainian flag. This is an ominous sight.
I would not say I know much about China-Taiwan relations but I know the case of Ukraine very well. I think it was in 2015 that I listened to either Putin or Sergei Glazev saying, in reaction to Victoria Nuland’s 5 billion for the democratization of Ukraine quote, that the Russians pumped into Ukraine 200 billion green papers over the years. And he added that they did not target the right things.
While Russia was pumping billions into industry and trade, the Americans were sponsoring activists, journalists and other opinion makers. In the end Russia is forced to fight a bloody war. Now, this soft power has its limits. While the regimes such as the one in Taiwan or Ukraine welcome American NGOs, they are hostile to any such efforts coming from Russia, or China for that matter. Russia tried this economic punishment with Georgian wine, or Borjomi water, and it did not make the Georgian elite more pro Russian.
Obviously, giving trade privileges to regimes that spread propaganda against you is stupid but I believe the key is in buying influence. Wealthy Taiwanese that do business in the mainland might also sponsor the media or NGOs, as they normally do. I believe that the targeting of business should be contingent on cooperation. Simply put, you will not do business in China unless you are pro-Chinese.
Somehow in the Russia-Ukraine case, this was never really implemented. Or rather, the separatist governments in East Ukraine did expropriate possessions of Ukrainian oligarchs but the latter were able to do business in Russia proper even though their TV channels spread vile Russophobia.
I have recently written about Georgia’s prospects of joining the EU…
I have found a video of Georgians burning the EU flags. This came in a response for an activist being arrested burning an EU flag…
The Georgians have a lot of reasons to resist membership in the EU, and if you ask me, unless the EU breaks with its principles, they will have a lot of time for it.
After Robert Fico, dorks are protesting Vučič in Serbia…
96.68% of the voting ballots have been counted. President’s Party of Progress received 45.71% of the vote and Serbia Against Violence got 23.58%. The supporters of the latter went out to protest in the streets.
I found the name of the second party familiar because I heard it somewhere else. And there was this party in late eighties and early nineties in Slovakia, which was called the People (or the Public rather) against Violence. Funny how the East European globohomo cocksuckers always copy from Czechoslovak Velvet Revolution or Polish Solidarity.
