Cool, thanks

German is my second foreign language so I can read it

Yeah, the whole reintegration of east Germany went really… peculiarly. I still can’t believe the SED was (mostly) just rebranded as die Linke.

That, and also the “right-wing” political forces (There may well be an overlap)

Not just that, but fossil fuel in itself.

For example, last year’s (or was it 2023) farmer protests in Germany – the trigger was the plan of the then government to gradually reduce state subsidies for diesel for the farmers.

Ironically, the far-right, who have it in their program that they want to cut all subsidies, successfully hijacked the protests.

If only european farmers could fucking read

Expectable to be honest (as an eastern slav myself)

Yes, but the Kremlin is not a kindergarten, but an imperial symbol, so once we can and don’t need the firepower elsewhere, we would totally maybe collapse a part of it at least, maybe the wall part where moscow rulers do their New Years address. Leave a fat, gaping hole, you know.

Also we are hitting civilian/mixed-use energy infrastructure in russia now, too. So Belgorod (Bilhorod) feels connected to its ancestoral homeland :D (I am sure there is a reason, the 1918 border claim reference, however real it was back then, is a joke)

Oh we would level it alright, don’t think we’re some noble people, we’re human just like everyone else :D

They already have. Rosgvardiya took very heavy losses in the advance on Kyiv in 2022.

The newsworthy bit would have been the fact that some media outlets spread this under the headline “russia will withdraw troops as well”, missing the point that Rosgvardia is militarised “internal army”, mechanised and equipped with artillery etc. Rosgvardia was among the troops marching on Kyiv in 2022. russia definitely wouldn’t agree to ukrainian national guard staying in the area, though …
