The Threat of Russian Imperialism

This is Czech parliamentarian Jakub Michálek…

Threat number one for our security is the expansionism of the Putin regime. In the area of security there isn’t any room for compromises and choosing between allies and hostile propaganda. I reject statements that are against Ukraine that was attacked.

Parroting Putin’s propaganda is spreading, unfortunately among some EU politicians. We ought to point it out and prevent this kind of rhetoric seeping into Czech democracy, as is now happening in Slovakia. We will oppose this threat with resolve.

The red scare. No matter that Russia is hyper capitalist now, even more capitalist than Czechia. Michálek is clearly aiming at boomers and ignorants with this…

People are rightly asking who exactly is expanding here?

By the way, Michálek’s wife was featured on this blog.

Decolonization of Russia

While some unfortunate Ukrainian men are on the front, some are busy on the Internet. This project for instance pushes for decolonization of Russia, that is breaking Russia up along ethnic lines, and perhaps create other Ukraines out of ethnically Russian territories.

But the idea of breaking Russia up is actually entertained at much higher places than just an obscure website on the internet, below is a debate held on the topic in the European Parliament.

Is this Ahmed Zakayev?

Kinda reminds me of this video about the Siberian language project. I will add that there is a project of independent Ingermania, that is the area around St. Petersburg.

Joint Statement

America called these countries to sign a declaration to condemn Russia for the use of North Korean made rockets to strike at Ukraine. From NATO counties, three did not sign the document, Hungary, Slovakia and Turkey.

The West has supplied Ukraine with all manner of rockets that the latter has shot at targets in Crimea and Russia proper. But Russia shouldn’t use North Korean or Iranian supplied munition or drones.
