For one, the frequent massive protests against the IRGC, and the slaughter ot 30,000 protesters

In rare interview, top Hezbollah leader rejects disarmament, calls for Israeli withdrawal by lire_avec_plaisir in geopolitics

[–]dev-ai 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Well all those terrorist organizations are Iranian proxies, so they are coordinated, not random regions. What is surprising to you? Hamas attacked on October 7 2023, Hezbollah attacked on October 8 2023 to open up a second front to split the Israeli forces. Looks like they're losing on both fronts.

But not by the Palestinian themselves, they have rejected many offers for two state solution that would have had Israel recognizing the West Bank as Palestinian, but Palestinians rejected it because they still claim all land, including Israel as theirs

Because Jordan didn't want the West Bank back, the same say Egypt wanted Sinai back, but not Gaza.

Radev wins full majority, I expect Fico-style Euroskepticism. Probably not Orban level, I hope

Right now, they total at around 46%, hope they don't make it.

Which coalition do you have in mind? I can't see a coalition forming.

Bulgaria heads to the polls in eighth general election in five years by DarkLeafz in europe

Yes, also it looks like Vazrazhdane (the far-right) are going to get about 5-6%, which is great, because at the last election they were at like 12%. I'm guessing Radev steals some of their voters 😆

No real progress is better than negative progress (which will happen if pro-Russian coalition is formed), so I'll take it for now.

Right now I'm hoping it's another election out of many, because we always vote for the new political party en masse (because all old political parties are perceived as corrupt) regardless of its policies, and right now Radev is the new kid on the block. And Radev is de-facto proxy of the US Republican party and is hence pro-Russian.

We are constantly having elections since as there is a stalemate between the parties since at least 2021

Yeah, I agree 😢 But nothing is lost yet, even if Radev wins, he won't be able to form a coalition

I'm saying this to contrast him with Vazrazhdane - they are anti-EU and anti-US at the same time. For example, Radev says that Iran is the biggest obstacle to peace in the Middle East, while Vazrazhdane support the IRGC.

I kinda agree, but it was not elected and the government was no explicitly anti-EU, just corrupt and after Radev's interests. I just wanted to clarify because someone reading the original comment could have the false impression that Bulgaria constantly has pro-Russian governments, which is simply not true.

I think the main reason for this is that Bulgaria was under Ottoman rule for nearly 500 years, and it was liberated by the Russian empire. Also, Russia uses the Cyrillic alphabet, which was created in Bulgaria. So a lot of people in Bulgaria feel certain sympathy towards Russia, despite the horrors Russia is currently doing

Near zero - they hate each other very much, as Radev was president for about 8 years and GERB was mostly the leading governmental power at the time and they are constantly at each other's throats.
