The French bashing that is endemic in Britain and forced down the throats of my countrymen through the media has always infuriated me. It's so bloody baseless. Don't get me wrong, I want to carve up France into countless independent states like any other country (death to the Jacobins) but whenever the Brits bang on about how unusually arrogant the French are I always think back to the importance of irony in the modern world; those who have no sense of irony or the ability to see themselves properly/realistically in the context of the world around them are impeding our progress as a species.

Go to London, it's one of the largest French cities in the world. It's also the only place in the world where I've been insulted by the French for saying the French aren't bad.

You're referencing the Norman invasions, right?

If so, that makes Paris an Italian city.

How does that work?

No matter what you think, you have to admire the utter lack of fucks that guy gives.

Lol, that's quite the bravado there.

[scriver]

Bravado? He moves likes he's drunk.

But I appreciate the ability to recognise a great moment to puff a cigarette for maximum points nonetheless.

I think he's referring to the Romans, but that wouldn't quite apply because of, you know, the actual French showing up later and kicking everyone's ass until they would call it France instead of Gallia.

Add to that Normans invading Italy in the 11-12th centrury, and it turns out that not only Paris is not Italian, but half of Italy is French.

Here is a good chanel with english

You can find the whole interview there, and generally a lot of other videos in the past of rebels fighting during the war, or  interviews and similar.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

[Sergarr]

So, this just happened.

[LordSlowpoke]

well, ranger did say people are getting pissed at the government for being too soft

it seems concluded for now, let's see what happens next

[smjjames]

So, this just happened.

I'm all for recognizing those who fought in WWII, but given how controversial the article says it is, right now is probably a bad time to bring it up, especially when everybodys anger is primed.

[Helgoland]

So, this just happened.

Die Zeit reports that protestors weren't able to give their party affiliation, merely stating they were 'nationalists'. Two apparently admitted to being paid 400 Ukrobucks, IIRC. Swoboda denied any affiliation.

Link in German.

[Sergarr]

According to some Ukrainians twits, most of the people arrested there have recently joined the Lyashko's party.

Lyashko is that politicians who has issued a public death thread to Kolomoiskiy and have recently said that "the government should have shooted Geletei (former Ukraine defence minister) instead of firing him"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Anyway, this is not a very good sign for stability in Ukraine. And if this was organized by Russian agents, well, then SBU can go fire themselves.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Ruble now at a new all-time low.

Moscow: Russia’s Central Bank has spent around $6bn from its international reserves in the past ten days to prop up the national currency, Central Bank chief Elvira Nabiullina said yesterday.

Troubling monetary acceleration in interventions.

~454 billion left in Russia reserves. Will be liquid depleted by next year at this rate. Hyperinflation is coming, Russia, and you can thank Fuhrer Putin.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

My IMO on today event: badly executed provocation. Who made that? Hard to tell, we have two weeks till elections so many parties can be responsible for that. Russia can't be counted out either. 

Something like 30 of those are arrested and I am pleased to see that my country is different and arrests are made in a proper way

So, this just happened.

Yep. "Svoboda" has to go. They are acting like useful idiots. Useful for our enemies. And I hope that I'll not see them in the next parliament. Party that doesn't adapt to changes in society have no right to exist. I think it is very likely that "Svoboda" will not get necessary 5% to get in. Huge chunk of core electorate went to Right Sector. Brainless radicals like that clown Lyashko. Others... Others are pissed by that kind of behavior.
