  1. When we don't like the results of elections we thrown them out.

  2. Wow, this is a blast from the past.

  3. "Wiretapping" here means hanging out in the hotel lobby connected to the wireless network.

  4. Notice the relatively happy, smiley picture used for Schmertz but the frowning, pointing, seemingly threatening one for Weidl (AfD).

  5. Ukraine won't let military aged men out of the country. There are numerous videos of young Ukrainian men crossing into Moldovia illegally. Multiple videos of groups of 3-6-9. Not two guys interviewed at two different airports.

  6. Wagner was unopposed because Putin and the Russian security services wanted to give him time to come to his senses. He did

  7. "Democratic institutions" which freeze out 20-25 percent of the voters from the normal process of politics is not 'democratic'. Trying to ban parties isn't 'democratic'.

  8. @TalibanAtrocities What does one thing have to do with the other? The 'EU' didn't hire him, individual football clubs...capitalist organizations...hired him because they thought his services were worth the money. There are tons of African and South American footballers playing in 'the West' too, does the EU get to dictate the politics of their countries? Or vice versa, because European football fans enjoy seeing South Americans and Africans play football, is the EU required to admit those countries?

  9. @junelew3744 We aren't the ones banning parties, annulling elections, arresting people for online comments.

  12. What did they actually do?

  13. 'Romania' would be speaking Turkish without Russia.

  14. @StefanTaf Nothing I have seen shows that Russia directly financed any candidate.

  15. ​ @Brendissimo1 The US under Bush II withdrew first from the anti ballistic missile and likewise under Trump we withdrew first from the intermediate range ballistic missile treaty. So it is we, not the Russians, who have a habit of ripping up treaties.

  16.  @WhichDoctor1  The Russian army never occupied those cities...Russian volunteers only helped local forced stop Kievs attacks

  17. ​ @kiranreilly4916 When did Russia invade Libya? Serbia? Iraq?

  18. Tblisi has over a million residents. Being very generous maybe 100,000 are participating in 'protests'. A distinct minority. This is a classic 'color revolution' play.

  19.  @Minerva-fp1zx  Yes, we in the US still consider ourselves a democracy despite doing all of that stuff.

  20. LOL colonial mindset. Of course Russia is beating a country that pretty much has everything from NATO.except front line troops.

  21.  @phillipbenchinho4943  There are 23 languages which have official status in Russia in the regions were they are spoken. Russian philologists and linguists during imperial and Soviet times were instrumental in documenting the lesser known and smaller languages of the territory. And, fun fact, a Russian, Yuri Knorozov, was the primary guy behind the deciphering of Mayan hieroglyphics.

  22. Finland has always had a heavily defended border, bunkers, conscription.

  23. Again, a shining example of the 'EU' and it's respect for democracy!

  24. @lexsportoverflows586 Except the normal thing in German politics is to recognize parties that get substantial votes and at least enter into coalition talks with them. The whole 'firewall' thing is anti-Democratic. JD Vance was and is right.

  25. Ironically they are using Russian designed, likely Russian produced AKs.

  26.  @CZRkg  Russian is the official state language for all the Russian Federation, and is also considered the language of the 'state-forming people'. But there are 23 languages that have official status somewhere in the Federation. Example Tatar is an official language of Tatarstan, with about 4 million speakers IIRC. Likewise Sakha is an official language of the Sakha republic, otherwise called Yakutia. Russia actually traditionally has spent quite a lot of money and effort preserving its minority languages like Udmurt, Nenets etc.

  27. Yes, billions of dollars, tanks, artillery cruise missiles, aircraft, virtually all of NATOs Intel assets in Europe ...NATO hasn't been trying at all.

  28.  @ballenboy  The Russians have been in Narva since before there was an 'Estonia'.

  29. After the fact.

  30. ​ @danieIlondon Studied in snd was subsidized by the United States.

  31. This probably violates the European convention on minority rights...but because these are Russians, Slavs who have been in Narva for generations, it won't be enforced. If Estonia really wanted to help these kids as it claims, it would require instruction in English, basically the lingua franca of the EU, rather than Estonian which has fewer than one million speakers.

  32. Russians have plenty of experience with being invaded...

  33. Well no, it's in the EU and NATO so it's sovereignty is purely symbolic.

  34. Besides the anti Democratic nature of this march, this coverage is wierd. Political parties hold "secret" i.e. not public, meetings all the time. You think the SDP notifies the media when its top leaders meet with industrialists? Due you think that CDU politicians don't meet on the quiet with religious leaders?

  36. Did you even listen to this report?

  37. ​ @Sgarigan No. The people of Transdniestr rose up organically even before the Soviet Union fell.

  38. Plus at least one with what appears to be an Azov patch.

  39. A similar law exists, and has existed, in the US since the 1950s. And indeed associates of the last administration have been tried and convicted of violating that law.

  41. Let's hope. Kharkov and Odessa are, of course, historically Russian cities. There is no such thing as a historically Ukrainian city. Any peoples that could realistically be called 'Ukrainian' (literally Borderlander) were either peasants or semi-nomadic border raiders (Cossacks) , and even the latter became in time mostly Russian-identifying.

  42.  @LarryAlexander-hf3lc  Did Biden 'serve'? Obama? Bill Clinton?

  43. Russia hit a bunch of supply depots in Odessa and elsewhere.

  44. They always forget to mention that Navalny was a 'Yale World Fellow'... i.e trained at a top US university long associated with the CIA (Bush senior's alma mater for example). Imagine a US, UK or German politician who spent six months on a.fully paid fellowship at Moscow State.

  45. BS. These are all excuses to eradicate a population group. I would kinda understand, if 'Estonians' (a country made up in the early 20th century) didn't whine about 'Russification' under the Soviets all the time. In fact in the Soviet Union the Estonian language was promoted.
    3
  46.  @netiturtle  That 'Russification' was simply industrialization. The Russian speakers are concentrated in the East where there have for centuries been large numbers of Slavs, that trend just intensified. There have never been more than a million 'Estonians' .

  47. @rokas_stulga The Russian speakers pay taxes just like the 'Estonians'.

  48. @tamasmarcuis4455 Who immigrates to Latvia? I guess now the people they call 'Ukrainians' who are overwhelmingly Russian speaking.

  49.  @paulvarn4712  No, we were told that 'Russia was running out of missiles'. Full stop.

  50. The Ukrainiam government forcibly seized churches including the one highlighted here, contrary to the wishes of real parishioners...not the ulra-nationalists who haven't been in a church for a decade shown here. And contrary to the wishes of the real Ukrainian orthodox church
