In the absence of American-style bulk sales, the movie will probably be made required viewing in schools.
Thanks, Pop-pop (RIP).
And out they go again
Ukraine unfortunately doesn’t have a large army, as in huge, attacking the enemy from the east and forcing them to commit the vast majority of their resources there particularly soldiers and tanks. Oh, and having failed to capture the oilfields in the biggest battle of the war they, the Nazis, were doomed anyway.
We can’t cut off Russia’s oil supply.
The head of a Russian government-funded thinktank, has been removed from his post after publishing an article about Russian propaganda during the war on Ukraine.
Valery Garbuzov, the head of the United States and Canada Institute, told Tass:
Yes, yesterday an order was signed to terminate the contract with me. The reason as such is not indicated there, there is an article of the employment contract that is at the initiative of the founder, it is formulated like this.
The BBC reports that Russian newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta last week ran a column by Garbuzov. He claimed that there is an “atmosphere of pseudo-patriotic madness” and conditions of the “creeping restoration of Stalinism”.
Less controversially, in Russia at least, he added: “US dominance is an objective, permanent factor that began the process of its formation at the beginning of the 20th century and still exists.” Before stating: “Russia is a former empire, the heir to the Soviet superpower, experiencing an extremely painful syndrome of suddenly lost imperial greatness.”
He said that Russian people “with amazing ease, naively and thoughtlessly perceives the theses of total state propaganda.”
Fuck. The DW story is here:
And the report by police in Göttingen is here:
FTR: the investigation is in regard to versuchter Totschlag, which legally is different from murder in German law. If found guilty, Totschlag constitutes a crime with a minimum sentence of 5 years and up to 15 years. That the investigation is into this does show that authorities are taking this seriously and assume that arsehole wanted to kill the ten year old kid.
… and still having more territory than any other country in the world isn’t good enough apparently
If they keep fucking around long enough they may find out what else they can lose 
Japanese conservatives would love to have an opportunity to take back the “Northern Territories”.
prevents their children being enrolled in universities to study law, as the children of convicts are barred from enrolling and working in this field.
That’s one weird ‘visiting the sins of the father on the sons’ law, right there. Can’t study law if your parent was a convict? Afraid a kid might find a way to do something about their parent’s conviction?
I guess the children of arsonists aren’t allowed to enrol as firefighters, too, or study physics. Kids of thieves aren’t allowed to be security guards? Where would it end?
Anthropologically speaking, in a Caste system.
… yeah well fuck them too
All these assholes should lose at the same time
They don’t have to lose territory to lose, either.They’re already setting themselves up to be an effective vassal state of China (as well as being its gas station).
… well we’re all doing that
