Putin’s problem is that, while he knows Russia is not the West per se but must look to both Asia and Europe simultaneously as a bridge and an intracontinental power, he does not put this theory into practice. Instead, clinging to the false and naive hope that a solid partnership with the West (which is impossible for geopolitical reasons) is possible, he has condemned Russia to subjugation by China.
By becoming entrenched in the conflict in Ukraine, Russia has lost influence in the Caucasus and Syria, while struggling to maintain a foothold in Africa. And this does not seem likely to change as long as Putin remains in power—a situation that could persist until the mid-2030s—leaving Russia with a very complicated future if it fails to prevail over NATO in Ukraine. This requires sacrifices that were not taken into account before and are now more costly. 🇷🇺
@bna_emperor This situation was not evident in the 1950s, the 1960s, the 1970s. One can claim the argument this situation is partly the result of American hegemony and victory in the Cold War. It is also a failure of American, British, Western European conservatives at conserving anything.
Have said for years that Russia should abandon strict reciprocal visa rules and make it as easy as possible for Westerners to visit. Let people see Moscow, Petersburg, Novogorod, Kazan, Sochi, Lake Baikal and ordinary Russian life for themselves, without the filter of relentlessly hostile Western media.
It would be good soft power and a useful source of foreign currency revenue.
The best propaganda is no propaganda at all. Just open the door.
My take away from Russia? Literally everything is fake and gay. They are lying about everything at every hour of every single day. The overreaction to me merely traveling to Moscow is precisely because they know I am NOT funded by ANY foreign nation or state, nor am I inherently capable of being controlled. I’ve been investigated by everyone from the literal President of France, (who admitted to hiring former Feds to look into my potential foreign ties)— to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign affairs laying out a plan in their FARA docs to smear me as a part of their propaganda to win back support for Israel. They have nothing on me other than “urrr durrr she’s demonic!” plus repeat demands to “sue her!” for refusing to bend the knee to their satanic agenda.
I’m telling the truth about Russia bc I am genuinely shocked by how absolutely upside down the narrative about it is beyond obvious to me now which way the economic wind is blowing.
Population replacement is proceeding as planned
Germany has set a new record for citizenship grants. In 2025, 332,500 people received German passports — 14% more than the previous record in 2024. This is the first time the annual figure has exceeded 300,000 since modern statistics began in 2000.
The surge is a direct result of the 2024 reform, which reduced the residency requirement from eight to five years, allowed dual citizenship as the norm, and eased integration criteria.
Syrians top the list: one in five new German citizens comes from Syria. The vast majority retained their original passports. In major cities, dual citizenship among new Germans reaches 85–98%.
The reform has accelerated a large-scale change in the country’s demographic and cultural composition, granting full voting rights to hundreds of thousands of people from culturally distant backgrounds. This has intensified debates about social cohesion and long-term political consequences.

The USA is helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine with everything they can, but it's not enough anymore. Not just to successfully counter-attack, but even to simply hold the front line.
Yes, the American aid to Kyiv, which US Secretary of State Marco Rubio openly admitted recently, is greatly helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It ties down our rear and allows us to strike sensitive blows to our logistics. But this is no longer enough. And therefore, good news are soon expected from the front line.

@ramzpaul Reagan and the Bushes made the migrant problem in America worse. It really comes down to political elites and business oligarchs making bad decisions to get cheap votes or cheap labor. Britain was made bad by Tony Blair's decision to grow net migration. https://t.co/ARNnBGdUwH
In Damascus Syrians are gathering around parliament for Law & Dignity sit-in. They are demanding construction of a state governed by rule of law, rejecting sectarian rhetoric relentlessly incited by regime's tools and calling for all forms of sectarian incitement to be prohibited
One of the most hilarious things about Ukrainian schizo nationalism is pretending that Ukrainians were part of the Western Allies and the Axis at the same time. Meanwhile 95% of their ancestors (other than Galician forest hicks) were in the Red Army
