[Guardian G.I.]

So, Russia 24 had a segment about hordes of grateful Russian tourists boosting Crimea's economy.



Apparently, Crimea was also moved to Brazil. Because that beach is in Rio.

EDIT: Looking at Russia-24's wikipedia page just made me laugh.

The words "Роисся" (Roissya) and 146% should have ticked you off - they are well known memes among Russian liberasts liberals.

liberasts

Just a few days ago I heard that term for the first time, apparently our Neo-Nazis have come to embrace it.

Here's a good article explaining the term "Liberast".

Liberasty is a contagious disease that binds the patient’s worldview to a few uninspired principles:

    There’s nothing but shit in Russia and it will never improve.
    The state is incompetent by definition, and anything it does only worsens the situation further.
    The Russian people deserve their suffering because they are a herd of brain-dead sheeple.
    Russia must make unconditional concessions and show unflinching obedience to the West.
    This is because the West is, by definition, the beacon of freedom, justice, and rationalism to the entire world, and wishes Russia only the best...

Which elections, the ones in Belgium?
The EU parliament elections have come under some scrutiny too because of double votes, but I don't think much will come out of it.

Yeah, in Belgium. Specifically the Walloon regional election. We voted for everything but the local council along with the EU elections.

Guardian: indeed. I need to improve my cyrillic though. :p

Well, the word is interesting because it associates "liberalism" with pederasty, thereby making use of the widespread homophobia. Good job on the propaganda front, поцтреот is comparatively lame as a composite insult.

[Sergarr]

I thought the word "liberast" has appeared on it's own, not because someone propaganded it.

Well, not propaganda in the sense of state propaganda, but as an insult to an opposing group.

I thought it's called libertarianism

FTFY

Not necessarily in Europe.

Word's don't "appear on their own", and the little people are just as capable of devising useful propaganda as the state. (They only lack the resources to propogate it as effectively as the state or media). It definitely seems like an intentional rhetorical gesture, if that's the connotation that people bring to mind (dunno if it is, admittedly).

Poroshenko doesn't exclude carrying out "a round table" with separatists in Donetsk
I am wondering is that a treason, stupidity or some masterful cunning plan that is beyond my understanding

Giving them time to fortify further and get more men\weapons (not mention all crimes they commit in a lawless area)  is a superb strategy

[10ebbor10]

Didn't the Ukrainian army have Donetsk surrounded?

And Ukraine appears to be really hammering on their moral higher ground card. Sadly, most nations don't care about moral higher ground.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Didn't the Ukrainian army have Donetsk surrounded?

Not quite. There are enough holes

Besides we'll get another hot spot soon - http://euromaidanpr.com/2014/06/08/russian-terrorists-preparing-another-stronghold-in-donetsk-oblast/  This time with more IFVs and light artillery. And with every day more and more arrive there.  It will not surprise me if tanks will appear before the morning

Instead of stopping that process there are weird moves like round tables initiatives and talks about "understanding" with Russia. Few days later Snizhne will be a fortress that is impossible to take without razing it and\or losing hundreds of our soldiers

Except you can't kill half of your population.

Where do they get their vehicles from? Stolen from the army?
