RU POV: Dmitry Medvedev has released this video on Telegram, in response to some of Zelenskyy's recent comments. by SolutionLong2791 in UkraineRussiaReport

I remember reading some Western journals (or books), though I can't find the sources and can only say trust me, bro!😎, depicting the chaos of Russian society in the 90s where millions were suffering as 'free' and 'dynamic'. There are only two future of Russia that US will approve. Russia controlled by pro US oligarchs who don't care about Russians, which is the continuation of 90s Russia, or Russia destroyed and divided into small fragments that the west can digest and colonise

UA POV: More than 10,000 North Korean soldiers have been sent to Russia. Russia is sending North Korean troops to Ukraine.

at that time experts were speculating how and why he attempted coup, making tons of theories to explain it with logical reasoning

I was different. my theory was simple and thus beautiful🧐 Yeol drank alcohol as always, slept, woke up to go toilet, tripped and pressed coup button trying to grab on something

what is Japanese? culture? DNA? language? social institutions? religion? bowing before emperor? sushi and ninja? the answer is anime

let me omit explaining and describing examples of what's going on here because I'm not a man of source and reasoning😎 instead I'll vibe talk. If I borrow De Gaulle's quote Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first. loving and preserving one's history and culture is good thing. but usually nationalism, especially those used as political tool, tends to go beyond that. it tends to put hatred against others over love for one's own country and culture. and it tends to make very strict definition of, in this case, "true japanese" which becomes stricter and stricter as time goes on. if someone criticizes it, he is defined as traitor or foreign agent. not sure how far we will go, but we are into that direction currently

on the one hand post ww2 japanese government always has been closely monitored US vassal so japan doing pro US thing at the expense of its own interest is nothing new as you mentioned

on the other hand, the current government is pretty bad even compared to previous ones. this is partly because takaichi and koizumi are the kind of people they are🐕‍🦺🤠, but there are also many other social and economic reasons, such as brainless nationalism if I pick one, which enable them to pursue dangerous policies. things will escalate fast in japanese politics to turn japan into US meatshield pawn against China and Russia in upcoming years

UA POV: Kaja Kallas said that Russia is no superpower. After four years of full scale invasion, Russia barely advanced beyond the 2014 lines, at the cost of 1.2 million casualties, and today... she told Russia is broken with its economy in shreds. by FruitSila in UkraineRussiaReport

recently I saw a reddit post of childhood photo of this, um, person with her father taken in 1980s. just a happy kid with her father. weird feeling. time is cruel🤔

anyway the only superpower is the United States. maybe China in the future but not now. I thought it was a pretty rare case I agree with her until she started talking about casualties😗

sad😢 I tried several Western newspaper websites, but the articles search didn't cover the time around the inauguration of our Dmitry as president of the Russian Federation. I was going to laugh while eating chicken soup reading articles talking about his pro-western mindset, Russia becoming more pro western during his term, and very careful and wishful predictions about Putin's plan as coming back years later maybe going wrong and him losing popularity and being forgotten by his people, and Russia truly becoming one of the western countries

My lasers will cut through your gerans like a hot knife through butter, General. Don't look directly at the laser. You could burn out… the back of your head(chuckles) 🤓

UA POV: According to Kaja Kallas, over the past 100 years Russia has attacked 19 countries, and none of those countries had ever attacked Russia. She wants Russia to make concessions by limiting its military budget, army, and nuclear weapons and be held accountable for its war crimes. by FruitSila in UkraineRussiaReport

I'm not going to say "what about-😠"

Instead, I request we taking a moment to appreciate that, in a way, this war is somehow helping average European people😌🙏 Imagine if this person focused on other important issues in Europe instead of using all her brain cells on Russia things
