There was a bit from Soviet TV of early eighties. Rough translation of hosts words:
USSR is a big country, we’ll live with these sanctions just fine, but Washington’s allies will be hit from these “cowboy jumps” much harder.
So I’d say it’s always all good and stable for Russia until some certain point.
There were few mentions from Z-bloggers how during Ukrainian attacks people hide in hotels or some civilian infrastructure like that. And that makes them safe. Draws quite a contrast to Russian “responses”.
Countries that recognize Palestine are marked green.
He will have a hard time negotiating with just about anyone, if that’s a problem.
Many people just think, that “it’s happening somewhere else” to soothe their anxiety, that it’s not going to get to them or whatever, or that it’s simply not their problem.
And I’ll be honest - I also was like that, even while our city officials were testing air raid sirens and doing alarm drills, I, while deeply unsettled by these preparations, hoped that it’ll pass and that’s all bluff. Until one morning.
Makes me think how China could’ve eventually reunited with Taiwan if they just played a long game and didn’t destroy Hong Kong’s autonomy. But instead authoritarian habits kicked in.
Took half a year for them to realize Russia ain’t gonna turn on China. If not for China - they’d probably be on verge of default by now.
There is Valetudo project, that spoofs vacuums external cloud connections to your locally hosted server.
Also AFAIK there are vacuums with only Bluetooth connectivity to configure them from a phone, with no Wi-Fi and cloud bullshit.
You’d be better seeing fall of USSR as cautionary tale of letting senile morons run a country to the ground.
I really hope that there will be some serious warnings to our parliament and Zelensky, not just “deep concerns”. They’ve basically destroyed independence of our main anti-corruption agency and put it under control of main prosecutor. And worst of all, some of deputies voting for that are themselves subjects of active corruption investigations.
There is a long history of anti-China movements catering to the west for sympathy
Now what the hell do they expect of people that China wants to kill or “reeducate”? Who they expect these people to ask for help?
Same thing with Ukraine aligning with West. Guilty of being murdered by Russia.
I’d say that if one rounds up a village, drops the people on a ship and sends them off to other continent to have their liberty restricted, possibly also previously killing old and sick ones, who’ve no use for forced labor - that’s definitely a genocide. Specific cultures were absolutely targeted too, because more advanced cultures with somewhat centralized authorities could actually fight back.
I would argue about transatlantic slave trade though. Deaths of millions of people, immense suffering, destruction of societies and cultural erasure. There may have been some cultures that have simply gone extinct then due to people getting hunted for slave trade.
Defending Western civilization against threats from both Progressive Left extremism and global jihad.
Ah yes, the infamous Marxist-Islamist menace.
And in fact, that VFX sequence was completed 10 times faster that it could have been completed with visual traditional VFX tools and workflows.
Yeah, generative AI model that is probably trained on some IP that they probably do not own, will do the job faster. Duh.

Hmm, I wonder where does his funding come from.
That’d be the most pathetic nationalist tankies ever cheered, leagues away from “Hero of the Soviet Union” Gamal Nasser.
Oh, the amount of times tankies called me a “CNN talking mfer”. And ahem, I’ve never read CNN news in my life. And usually that was something about country where I live that is Ukraine.
They’re like hate USA, but are still too America-centric to not assume that maybe someone writing something about Ukraine is actually from here and didn’t get his data from American media that is hardly relevant in here.
Straight from Chinese sources: US attempt to strip China of its developing country status doomed to fail.
Not like it was a secret about China being a “developing nation”, but what they themselves don’t say is how that status is still kept safe thanks to debt slaves.
