Yeah the first thing is a problem, but do we support Scottish independence?

A new thing was him talking about the entire left bank of the Dneiper being historically Russian, this includes Poltava, Chernihiv, Sumy and Kiev in the north. Recently before this he was talking about creating a buffer zone to prevent Ukrainian attacks on Russian cities.

Oh alr nice, I see how it fits in the broader context of your post.

As to the OP mentioning, “I like how Putin clarified that Soviet Ukrainianization and indigenization of other areas of the USSR was not a bad policy in principle” I think this is best read as reactionary nationalist stuff. Basically that people of a culture should stick together, that there’s a duty to blood there, to preserving culture, to a commonality. You hear the same stuff from many reactionary thinkers.

How is it reactionary and nationalist to have a shared Belarussian, Ukrainian and Russian space where each national identity flourishes but is also interconnected? If Putin wants to live in harmony with Belarus or pre-maidan and to some extent post-maidan Ukraine instead of devouring them, where's the issue?

In the interview he also admitted the superiority of China and it's economy to Russia. He said that Russia is not much of a threat to US hegemony but China is. Having a population of 1.4B to Russia's 140m and growing at 5%, having the largest economy.

He said that it was a good idea in principle to promote the indigenous languages and culture of the Soviet Republics (Ukrainianization) around 18:55. Im not saying he's a leftist, just that he's abandoned the vocal anti-communism.

KPRF critiqued his speech of February 2022 saying that it was Lenin who united the territories of the empire which were divided by local nationalists. What he said is similar and clarifies whether he believes Lenin made a mistake in shaping Ukraine vs just how things played out in the long run.

He said this time that the Soviet Union lived as a unified state with harmony between Russians and Ukrainians and the fault lied to the governments of Yeltsin, Gorbachev and himself for tearing off Ukraine from this shared space.

I believe he's a right-wing conservative, what in particular makes you say he's a fascist?

Current polling of those intending to vote

https://kprf.ru/activity/elections/223825.html

Putin: 63-65% (low for him, 80% would be typical), most of the remaining should go to KPRF

Slutsky (nationalist/LDPR): 3-4% (usually compared to KPRF, only managed to get support from 1/3rd of his base)

Kharitonov (communist): "confidently ahead of Slutsky" and from the above post the sentiment is the same as in 1996 where Zyuganov won 32.49% in the first round . The percentage left when you subtract the other candidates from 100 is ~26%. So I would assume close to 20%.

Boris Nadezhdin (pro-west): 6-7%

Davankov: less than 1%

He tried once to give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship. Obama too. Non-citizens can increasingly vote in local elections. And the more of them that come, the easier to pass this. Yes ik that Biden has deported more than Trump, that's what I meant when I said that they haven't been nice to migrants in the last few years. They are also definitely be exploited for cheap labour.

I think the Democrats are unpopular so they've relaxed on migrants (as migrants are more democratic) which is good for migrants but also pretty opportunistic.

Even most democratic voters call the situation at the border "an invasion", which I don't agree with but the fact is Democrats are choosing to change course when it is unpopular in their own camp. Secondly, we all know it's not cause of empathy with migrants, they clearly lack that.

Democrats are trying to maintain power even at the cost of destabilization, Republicans don't want Texas, with it's 38 electoral seats to turn blue. Biden only lost in 2020 by 5%.

"Moses" an experienced drone operator killed 500 Ukrainians himself before being struck by a drone.

There were 200 fired on Friday, but on Saturday the DPRK tricked the south into thinking they fired 60.

kcna.kp isn't working for me for some reason

1,801,101 in 1941 just before Pearl Harbour, it increased during the war and now it has decreased to levels before the start of US participation in WW2.

We laughed at Zelensky but fell in the same fascist hole :(

In the heart of the EU, wow.

unless it's someone like Kim Yo Jong, usually they just say spokesperson or commentator without naming

I linked the articles at the top of the post. KCNA is the main state news agency for the DPRK. They always end with a threat when talking about the south, Japan or US.

Korean Central News Agency

1st article

In the period from January to October this year alone, the puppet group of traitors committed more than 3 200 loudspeaker broadcasting provocations in the forefront area, more than 1 100 warships of the puppet army invaded the territorial waters of the DPRK for 1 270-odd times and reconnaissance planes intruded into the territorial air of the DPRK side over 150 times.

2nd

The U.S. nuclear carrier strike groups led by Nimitz, Ronald Reagan, etc., which carry the forces huge enough to carry out a full-scale war, made their appearances in the waters off the Korean peninsula three times.

The number of large-scale joint military drills, including Freedom Shield joint military exercises, Ssangyong joint landing drill and “combined joint fire annihilation drill”, staged by the U.S. in and around the Korean peninsula with Japan and the south Korean puppet forces in a bilateral and multilateral way as of now since the outset of this year, runs to over 60.

At present, U.S. nuclear strategic assets are deployed once every ten days and one warring side’s nuclear war drills precisely targeting the other side are staged once every five days in the area of the Korean peninsula. There is no such place on this planet.
