Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Macron: Russia has once again demonstrated it doesn’t actually share desire for peace
18·2 years agoNever had, never will be.
The only way for Russians to get a country with working waterlines, a functioning society and a developed infrastructure, is to stop now, and work on it for the next 10-20 years… or invade another country. They will only choose the war over reflecting about their own inhumane rubble of a society - or even actually developing it.

3·2 years agoContext: Roman–Gallic wars
Over the course of nearly four centuries, the Roman Republic fought a series of wars against various Celtic tribes, whom they collectively described as Galli, or Gauls. Among the principal Gallic peoples described as antagonists by Greek and Roman writers were the Senones, Insubres, Boii, and Gaesatae.
The Romans first came into conflict with Gauls who entered Italy from the north. Some of these settled in the lands immediately south of the Alps, which became known as Cisalpine Gaul: “Gaul this side of the Alps”. Gaulish armies, some perhaps fighting as mercenaries in the service of the cities of Magna Graecia, plundered territory in Etruria and Latium during the fourth century, famously sacking Rome circa 390 BC.

Interesting Maps. In OP’s PDF Link is also a map of the middle east (it is as you expected it). The weird one I found was South Korea. It is a Democracy and pretty modern, but still pretty low values.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Captured North Korean soldier reveals how he ended up serving in Russia – video
13·2 years agoI once watched a 5h long video about movies from NK and all the movies made it pretty clear, that mountains have a very important stance in the story-telling of Korea and the wider Manchuria. Especially Mount Paektu plays an important part in the myth to the point that Kim Jong Il said he was born there (he was not). People get really impressed when people come from a mountains regardless on the culture it seems (e.g. Moses).
So this soldier telling this fact, is most likely trying to paint SK as inferior. SK didnt had access to Mount Paektu since the 50s and didn’t keep retelling that story and this soldier ate that Paektu propaganda in the north with a spoons and thinks that makes him/his nation better (it doesn’t).

Russia@sopuli.xyz•Russian lady tells everything like there's no tomorrow
1·3 years agoIt will be interesting to see if a young female protest can get traction or what kind of tricks putin gonna use in that case. He is already paying some widows to silence them. He set up a woman moderation (Olga Skabeyeva) next to an ultranationilst male voice on state TV (seen in the video as well) and let them act out the family constellation in a modern russian family in putins ruski mir: He is spewing the most heinous allegations and is always on an angry edge as he is living through the sucess off his past, and now imitating a warrior in the ruins of his biography. She is his back. Tuned into his view to not further anger him like in a Scheherazade. She obeys and mimics the modern wife that stands firm by the patriarchs side even he is aggressive. “Like every good russian woman should do. “
It runs in weekly episodes like a telenovela but in a political theater piece, served at primetime without any alternative, as all the channels are controlled by the Russian state media.
It has too been seen if russian woman can escape this TV play when it get molded and expected from every female friend you have as a woman in the last 15 years.
Mostly older woman, like the babushka in the video, were the voice that ended afghanistan. These woman are mostly dead now. The one we expect it now from, were casted into a socialitarian role that is much harder to break than that mold of 1989, within a soviet state already on a death bed.
Feminism and woman rights were cut back and crippled in the last 15 Years. Putin knew that he has to put homosexuality equal to feminism in his hateful doctrine to crush the grassroots for any organized woman protest. Pussy Riot was just the bear putin lead through the ring, to make it clear for everyone, how woman protest will be handled.
Better become like Olga frim the TV: Obey, voice down, tune in. Receive minimal repercussions. It is expected of you.

Tulsi Gabbard is a russian asset. There are backchannels that groomed her for a decade.
