Russia is provoked by weakness and deterred by strength

This appears to be a disturbingly common idea in the west. And I would argue it translates a little bit different. It translates into a notion that we are barbarians. Think about it, what comes to mind when you hear "They only respect strength"? Some type of Hollywood-esque brain-dead loudmouth barbarian, who only knows violence, bullies the weak and only backs down against superior might (usually that of the designated protagonist). That is the perception they have.

And of course it is largely projection.

Not sure I even heard of the book before, but frankly not surprised. Reminds me of this:

"A true Aryan must be: blonde like Hitler, lean like Goering, handsome like Goebbels"

Apologies, I should have specified yankee media - since that is what dominates the world media. But also on the topic of flinging crap at the socialist times - we get that as well in Russia. Not just in media, as you mentioned - the term "Sovok" is used as a derogatory for things people dislike and (usually erroneously) associate with USSR. Ya know, such obviously socialist concepts as bureaucracy, employers monitoring every move a worker makes and punishing them for time off, unpaid overtime, etc

It's been raining since Saturday. The city is drowning, and it's not really a hyperbole. We've gotten almost twice the monthly norm of rain in three days. Several routes of public transport have been suspended. Cars are breaking down mid-road, because water gets under the hood.

What improper infrastructure does to mfers.

You're hardly British until you get an irresistible urge to plunder

Well it's the ruling class that writes history. It's not just ancient past, very recent past as well - just think of all the nostalgia cropping up for 1950's or 1980's!

Danke schön

What are the odds he'll be replaced with someone even more ghoulish?

liberal fantasy

In what sense?

It doesn't even look that cool, it's just a bunch of over the top rusted crap

Would they? Would they really? The propaganda is decades in the making. At this point you might as well ask Koreans to make peace

There’s no point causing war for profit if you can’t make the profit

Allow me to disagree a bit. There remains a point to prevent the others from industrialization and general rise. It won't make profit by itself, but it remains a big reason for war

No word on the route? Cuba isn't exactly close, and most of the space in between lies over "unfriendlies"

Is he growing fatter?

Meh, you know it'll just get blamed on "invaders from the jungle"

They aren't, they're just being contrarían. Make no mistake, they'll turn around the moment they take power. Just look at Meloni in Italy.

There's a video circulating around the net, featuring a man with both hands cut off. Allegedly it was done by rioters in France and the man was "trying to protect his car". Anyone hear anything about that?

What's a land reclamation project?

Why are China, YankeeLand and PrisonColony participating in a European math Olympiad? Pretty sure none of them are in Europe

Not really. We'll see how hard we'll get ratfucked for these things. Thanks though
