The same regulation was in place under Churchill during WW II. No elections took place. I suppose he was just another despot.

Putin's political clone has already been selected, has been shadowing him for a few years, and will seemlesly replace Putin should he suffer a fatal medical mishap. The details have all been been approved by Putin.

Latvia's President Says Ukraine Is Not Only Fighting For Us But 'Fighting Instead Of Us' ( www.rferl.org )

"I do believe that the only viable way to respond to this tragic news is to provide more assistance, more weapons to Ukraine," Edgars Rinkevics says, adding that "to some extent, the possibility of a better Russia, a more democratic Russia, currently lies not in Russia itself but in Ukraine."...

@msage @bstix The US turned up to WW II two years late. The war had already been fought by others, for two years. When they did finally, reluctantly, arrive, they were of some usefulness. The war could have been won with great difficulty without them. It could not have been won at all without the Russians.

@Marduk73 @mozz It is not a proxy war. The war is between Russia and Ukraine. To call it a 'proxy war' is to insult 'Ukraine' and is only good for Russia.

@Marduk73
No. It does not depend on perspective. The war against Ukraine was started by Russia, and Russia and Ukraine are the only combatants. No matter that several western countries have supplied Ukraine with weapons and Iran and North Korea, Russia, your use of the term, 'Proxy War' is incorrect.
But keep using the term if you like the sound of it 👍

Russian rhetoric toward central Asia grows increasingly hostile, reminiscent of the language used toward Ukraine before its invasion ( jamestown.org )

The hostile rhetoric and actions from Russia have eroded trust and relations between Russia and Central Asian countries, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan....

I have serious doubts that NASA will ever land anybody on Mars. Not because of hardware challenges, but because of the difficulty of getting anything biological there alive.

@Flumpkin There's no reason not to try, but keeping the biologicals alive is definitely a major challenge.

The US will never establish any form of 'free' or inexpensive healthcare. US politicians are ideologically opposed to the idea. The US ranks at number 37 in the world in English and Maths achievement, and their politicians don't care.

I agree with what you say about the future of Russia. I don't see how it could go any other way.

photoncollector ,
@photoncollector@mastodon.social avatar

@MrMakabar No you won't. Russia has always been exactly as it is. It will always be this way. There is no prospect of positive change, whatsoever. The Russians have always been willing to march to their death en masse. It is a fundamental part of what it means to be Russian. They died for the Tsar, for Lenin, for Stalin. Now they die for Putin. No change.

It expresses the age-old Russian belief that suffering is inescapable, and must be accepted.
(Most 'Russian' folk songs were stolen or plagiarised from Ukraine.)

@andrew_bidlaw Learn to speak Russian fluently, and live in Russia for a few years. Nothing I ever say wiil, or should, convince you of anything.

@photoncollector@mastodon.social avatar

@andrew_bidlaw To be honest, I'm a bit tired of Russia. The Russians openly admit that alot of their folk music came from Ukraine. There's been much written about this in Russian. It's not a secret. Buy a book about the history of Russian Folk Music on Ebay.

I'm pretty much an optimist, but I'm not convinced that Ukrainewill get anything from the US. They've been saying "soon," "very close to," for a long time now. The US can't be relied upon for anything in my opinion.
I would love to be wrong.

Washington is in a state of total chaos. The US effectively has no government.

@photoncollector@mastodon.social avatar

@0x815 @SamsonSeinfelder I agree. I see no prospect of a sudden collapse in Russia, just a glacially slow deepening of cracks that are already visible. I don't see any chance that the Russian population will 'rise up' and change things. The Russian mentality is deeply rooted in stoicism, and the inevitability of suffering. I see one possible future in which Russia becomes a 'slavic' version of North Korea, but that is only one possible future. Any change which does take place will be very slow.

@Wilshire The Russians have made intensive efforts to subvert Polish farmers to act against Ukraine; including pay large sums of money to rabble rousers. Most of the farmers don't know that they are working for Russia.
