Things were different in the periphral nations, than in the center. Those who read your comments with heritage from the peripheral will understand you, and the others will not.
I understood your statement, but the underlying connotation was “elections are bad”. Elections can be fair. Unfair elections can be restored, but not easily.
It wasn’t even a final peace state, so it could easily have been pushed sideways in the future, and clearly the Americans wanted the win so badly that they would have let anything happen at the finish line.
Eliminating elections would not harm dictators. Elections, like all democratic institutions need to be maintained and supported to maintain a democracy.
Russia is still ramping up military production on a wartime economy, to be used after the Ukrainians stop fighting back. Also their production focuses on their modern options for land and air. I don’t know what their naval production is doing.
Your English was on point, and any outdoorsie types understood you. This is just one of those things that is called different names in different regions.
Upvoted… But I am stuck at 36/miryoku and can’t go less.
They want the Baltics, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, all to be like Hungary, or preferably like Belarus - slave/puppet authoritarian regimes. Finland too, really, but I think that the Finns scare them.
Sinophobia and russophobia are terms that refer to ethnic racism, heavy leveraged by tankies to position political disagreement as racist. In these cases I don’t think that the fear was a ethnic based, but rather capitalist or nationalist.
The fear is still unjustified. It’s like thinking that you can trust Amazon more than Ali, or Google more than Xiaomi.
There is plenty of racism against Chinese/Asian people, which is a different level of vile.
Does Nordstream connect Russia to the US?
Which one? The one where Russia is a threat to Europe?
I hate that this is accurate
The problem is that the quality of “just look it up” is seriously degraded these days (except Wikipedia)
All of the people there are now classified as Indigenous
You are right
It is still a democracy, but that democracy is in crisis. You will know over the next 2/years if it will survive, although the next federal election will be the real test.
Democracies can recover if they keep their representation.
It is capitalist perspective, but not propaganda.
If there is meant to be capitalist competition then the competitors should not be massively funded by the government. China massively funds their electric car industry, principally because they own them.
That said, US carmakers get Government bailouts all the time.
If I can copy and paste with thought having to install the offline plugin, then I’m in.
Check the article 5 requirement. I don’t see any “unless another NATO country” exceptions.
Probably moot as all the US has to do is increase presence and wait for an “or else” moment, so that they can rely with “or else what?”
