Why does Putin/Russia think, they can control the shit afterward, they are stirring up before? I mean, everything can get it's on dynamic till the point, where no prediction is possible. So there is a lot of gambling inside and no guarantee, that things get better from Putins/Russias ...maybe Putin/Russia thinks, that a worse situation can't get worse for them. And so 'stirring shit up' can only keep it equal or improve the situation. But that's a miscalculation, it can get its own dynamic (less control for Russia either) or worsen Russia's Position.

@mironwg1 yes and it should be explained why. Also it should mention that the countries invaded by US were not conquered nor was it their intention nor was it the initial reason to invade them. And it should mention how many countries the USSR and later Russia invaded - and why they invaded them. Also it should show in how many countries a part of or the whole country were conquered/annexed by USSR/Russia. It should also elaborate on why these countries were attacked and where USSR/Russia and these countries are located. Finally it should end with a comparison of the status of these countries nowadays (annexed/free/form of government etc). It’s worth looking at that yourself.

The rest of us are actually kinda fine since we don't have only two parties, the governments are often formed via coalitions, inequality has never become a serious issue..precisely because we care about solidarity and public good, the people generally trust the institutions and care about their local communities. And as for the eastern Europeans, their previous experiences with Russia have inoculated them against its propaganda. The only exceptions in the east are Hungary and Serbia - two poor, inconsequential countries.

I’m from the Netherlands and I think we can improve some things based on these ideas. We are a very individualistic society, but people, especially the elderly, really miss a sense of community. Inequality is also still a big problem that is constantly being ignored by those that are not affected. We should however focus on equality of opportunity, not necessarily equality of outcome. Also bringing politics closer to people is a really good idea that’s actually working (if done correctly). I’m a member of the Green Left party and they actually ring the doorbells and have a chat with people, asking if the local government can do something for the people and to listen to what people want or expect. It’s more labour intensive than a social media campaign, but it’s really working. We are now the largest political party in Gouda, a city of 74.000 people.

It’s all fine in the context of discussions when both parties are really trying to get somewhere, to find some optimal solution to the existing problem. And it is completely fails when one party’s goal is to destroy you and break your will and ability to understand and act

This is perhaps your most important work so far. In my adopted country, Austria, there's a great deal of support for Putin, not only from the far right, but also from some of the "woke" left. I wish this could be shown in schools here. I hope you're doing well. Keep up the good work. Lunch is on me if you're ever in town. All the best from warm Vienna, Scott

Ye Gods, HOW does anyone on the "woke" left support putin?!? Like, "woke" is a meaningless word, but as a leftie who gets called "woke", surely the evil russian empire goes against every value of the so-called "woke" crowd?! Like, how are the "alphabet mafia" going to support a country where everything LGBT+ is outlawed? Make it make sense!

The conservatives in the UK, became internally divided by brexit. Did Russia come in to support post truth politics where lies anout the cost of the eu and the ignoring of the costs of brexit. Trade with the eu is more difficult and yet as the biggest trading block that the UK had, is moving on without feeling the loss. Now accountability is coming

Whilst the extent of Russian interference in the Brexit referendum is still highly debated (Boris Johnson having done his best to suppress any serious enquiry into it), what it indisputable is that the Leave campaign was a perfect example of Russian-style propaganda, given that its central message was “ignore the evidence, trust your feelings”.

Thank you so much for your unwavering devotion to help us and others. You were a extraordinary help to me this past years in part due to recognizing myself in you. (I was also born in USSR but later, so I was younger when we left. I was raised thus more in West Europe were I still live like you. I even have similar love for philosophy, music, politics etc.) You helpt me mentally deal with that heritage and especially the nightmare since 2022. How you deal with your condition inspire me immensly in dealing with my mental conditions. So I hope you understand the additional gravitas when I say thanks from the bottom of my heart, much love and best whishes to you. ❤
