Our government is so incredibly weak and inapt that it is actually conceivable they will do this. Not a day goes by on which our government does not embarrass us. I would leave this shithole but I wouldn't know where to go...
A relief if true. Germany still supports and enforces the all out embargo on the citizens of Syria (and Venezuela).

So what happens when they have nukes? The way I see it the mutts better attack now before the team of Chinese scientists in Nasrallahs lab have finished enrichment.
Vladimir #Putin invited Benjamin #Netanyahu to visit Moscow next year to participate in the celebrations on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Issues of the Russian-Israeli interaction in #Syria direction were also considered.

All of this could've been avoided if Stalin just reversed the division of the RSFSR into Soviet Republics and erased their right to leave from the constitution

Now Russia has subject states too.

You should not regard the government as representative of yourself or people, but merely an association of bureaucrats insider trading to fuck over the common man through the vehicle of statecraft.
Isaiah Thompson
largely irrelevant, money has minimal relation to the actual productive forces debt is at its base a redistributive mechanism, from the one who pays interest to the one who receives, but having a lot of debt does not mean your economy is somehow hollow. all the factories are still there. of course the redistributive effects can hamper the circulation of capital, which does have real detrimental effects, and that's why money and credit should be entirely controlled by the state, like in the PRC
don't worry too much about debt, any sufficiently strong government can just decree it abolished
Man modern day American seccession movements are a joke, while the Baltics were a traitor factory for the USSR and a constant headache

>all the factories are still there and are worthless as capital and labor relations fell apart, leading to the manufacturing flight and the service (slave) economy.

Splitting the SU into constituent republics was actually an idea of Lenin. Stalin wanted everything put into a unitary state, where all the constituent parts would be more akin to what the "autonomous" provinces in Russia today, but as usual Lenin reeeed autistically until he got his way. By the time the Stalin constitution was made, everything was already too established to do away with them.
>Russian jews fucks Russia over >Georgian tries to fix it lol
Lincoln Parker
That makes sense, Lenin was leftist and envisioned more of a Trotsky future of communists all over the world, Stalin was a rightist and more determined to save what Lenin had created before it was eliminated by the powers that be.
Do you know who does that for communism today? Chairman Xi. Putin largely inherited Stalin's Russia, a Russia that is rightist, unitary, whose reps are all oligarchs - capitalist rightists.

>tfw we are now stuck with either constant butthurt minorities until the end of time/ the next time Russia collapses or have to turn Russia into a second muttistan

I get this sentiment but it reeks of revisionism. True Stalin tried to build socialism in one country, but the hope of exporting revolution never stopped - foreign intelligence was fomenting revolution wherever possible, mostly in the former parts of the Russian empire simply because that was where all their contacts were. Even while cooperating with Germany to get arms technology in the 20's were they arming would be revolutionaries from the embassy. Though it never really went anywhere, which is why it is largely forgotten. The insistence on rigid "first a bourgeois revolution then a communist one" probably didn't help in that regard, leading to madness like supporting the KMT after they had already purged the CCP. But this painting of Stalin as some kind of rightist figure is not accurate. It's just that it is popularized by two powerful groups: crypto anticommunists like trotskyites, and Russian nationalists who want to reclaim the Georgian (who never did learn to speak without accent) as a great Russian.
Same with the idea that Stalin presided over a stratified bureaucracy staffed by proto-oligarchs. Not the case, the regime ins stead relied on a large mass movement that allowed talent to filter upward, with on the other hand a very powerful disciplinary organ instigating regular purgers (probably too regular and too severe) preventing stratification. All very true to bolshevik revolutionary ethos. Only when Stalin was gone and the purges went away, did we get the ossified bureaucracy.
Xi is more like the real Stalin in this regard, as he has restored party discipline and dynamism by constantly getting rid of corrupt officials. Or is he just replacing them with his own creatures? We'll see in time.
I do, but it still hurts. And despite human nature and everything, not all governments are equally bad at all times. Occasionally in history there are moments of reasonable and sustainable governance.
Jaxon Peterson
It's okay, China will be nothing compared to Russia once Kadyrov is President.
Maybe the real government is the People's Mobilization Units we built along the way
>Rare South Korean defector moves to North, like his high-ranking parents did 30 years ago
The son of a former South Korean minister, who fled to the US and later to North Korea, has followed in his late parents’ footsteps. The rare northward defector says he will devote the rest of his life to the reunification cause. The South Korean Ministry of Unification confirmed on Sunday that Choe In-guk, son of former South Korean foreign minister Choe Tok-sin and Ryu Mi-yong, touched down in Pyongyang on Saturday, saying that the circumstances around his visit are the subject of an investigation. The ministry said, according to South Korea’s Newsis News Agency, that Choe did not seek approval for his trip. Under current regulations, South Koreans must obtain a permit from both Seoul and Pyongyang before crossing the border to the North. Choe is believed to have traveled through a third country to circumvent the ban. Photos of Choe’s welcome at the Pyongyang Airport were published by the North Korean state-controlled news website Uriminzokkiri.

It was the strength of his statecraft that created such a leviathan that the Chairman Throne became so powerful. So powerful in fact, it killed the USSR in a single Gorbi blow. However, it's understandable to call it revisionist, revisionism under Khrushchev was largely anti-Stalinist in nature. But I would not say I would be. Without Stalin, Russia would not have survived the war period. Without the KMT he supported in China, China would not have survived the war period. Yes, the CCP was an exported revolution, but they did not have the power over the whole of China yet.
Rather than proto-oligarchs, proto-siloviks. Siloviks who have the same capabilities of ad executives, big brother techs, population studies, everything a business person would need to monopolize a market. And who are the powerful oligarchs now? Ascended siloviks. What is Putin himself? Ascended silovik.
And the qualities of one are such that they are militaristic, diplomatic and perfectly positioned to negotiate in the name of the state for any business purpose. When Donald Trump flew into Moscow in 1988, he met with the government authorities and talked of how things in USSR were being run. Who was running them? The siloviks.
Who is running them today? The same. Even oligarchs acquiesce to the intelligent creatures that track their lives. Monopolized markets, monopolized propaganda.
wot? they're just giving up on their colony in Aden, just like that? I don't buy it. Unless they anticipate war against Iran in the near future and need troops back home

So either Saud has bought UAE's interests in Yemen, UAE's interests in Yemen are self sustaining, or UAE's interests in Yemen ended after the liberation of Socotra and the traveling of the trees.

Aha finally an answer to my question yesterday. The rocket is indeed something new, and a fatty. >The Houthis revealed the Badir-F precision-guided tactical ballistic missile for the first time on April 16. Despite this, the missile was showcased in the Saleh al-Samad Exhibition for Yemeni Military Industries. >Photos of the missile show that it has a bigger diameter than its predecessors, the Badir-1 and the guided Badir-1P. The missile size is closer to that of the Soviet OTR-21 Tochka. However, its design lines are completely different. >When the missile was first revealed, the Houthis claimed that it is guided with a range of up to 160km and that it is armed with a heavy warhead equipped with a proximity fuze. A spokesman for the Houthis said back then that the missile would explode 20 meters above the center of the designated target and would scatter some 14,000 pieces of shrapnel in a circular area with a radius of 350 meters. southfront.org/missiles-and-drones-a-close-look-at-houthis-new-weapons/
