Applebaum: Putin has presented a fake image of Russia to the world. He talks about leading a traditional society
In reality, divorce is very high, abortion is common, very few Russians go to church and less than 5% have ever read a Bible. It's not a traditional culture at all 1/
@vesstnik Москвичи могут поблагодарить Путина за задымленный воздух и горящие танки.
Помните, вместо сотен тысяч жертв и военных издержек, можно было бы иметь лучшее здравоохранение, инфраструктуру и множество других благ, которые сейчас растрачиваются впустую.
@CidySean@WW3finalboss China is ultimately not as strong as it makes out to be. It has huge debt problems and completed buildings are falling into disrepair. The labeling of its citizens as disloyal undermines confidence in the CCP's ability to govern the country and creates unrest among the people.
@CidySean@WW3finalboss It is difficult for Russians to understand or admit to themselves that their time as a global superpower has come to an end because of Putin. Both the US and China want nothing more than minerals and oil. Europe wants nothing more to do with Russia.
WATCH: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has declared that "supporting Ukraine is not only a moral duty but also a strategic necessity, because at stake is not only the dignity, freedom, and independence of Kyiv but also the security of Europe."
Oggi l’Italia ha ottenuto un grande successo: il Parlamento europeo ha approvato il nuovo Regolamento europeo sui rimpatri. Un provvedimento storico che consente di rimpatriare velocemente chi non ha titolo a stare nell’Unione europea.
@CidySean@WW3finalboss China does not want a militarily strong Russia on its borders. It wants to keep it weak so that it can use its natural resources. Possibly China also wants Russia to return the territories it has conquered from China in Manchuria, Amur and Ussuri.
@KKalaoja Ehkä kaikki kansanedustajat ja ministerit voisivat tehdä etätöitä kesämökillään tai vaikka Thaimaassa ja olla valmiudessa palaamaan työpaikalleen, jos puolue tai Suomi tarvitsee.
@Verkkouutiset Putinin ja Xi suhde on kuin vanhan toisistaan erkaantuneen parin avioliitto, jota pitää koossa vain se, että kumpikin pelkää jäävänsä yksin.
