Ethnic Germans in Russia as Cannon Fodder

(1/n)

Thanks, Kevin, for pointing out this interesting article in the first place and for boosting its (automated, but cross-read) translation.

This is actually a tactically brilliant move by #Putler. Already, there have been several attacks on #Ukrainians by #Russians in Germany, at least two in #Bavaria in recent weeks...

...This will most likely sow dissension and further devide the German population.

What is the scale of the problem?

At least 280,000 Russians living in Germany were eligible to vote in the fake Russian Presidential Election this year. 1) Most most likely voted in his favor. Most likely, if married, their kids weren't of German-descent, so there are...

...quite some more Russian-speakers of this category.

Moreover, and quite apart, of the about 4 million Russian-speaking people in Germany, 2.5 mn are of German descent (#Russlanddeutsche) who emigrated to Germany, being eligible for citizenship. 2)

I would call this a powder keg. And #Putler seems to have found a way to ignite it.

To ile mieliśmy stolic w Polsce? Gniezno, Kraków, Warszawa, niektórzy dorzucą jeszcze Lublin i pokłócą się, bardziej Daszyński czy Bierut. Mało się mówi o jeszcze jednej; może dlatego, że to nie była stolica Polski.

324 mennesker døde av overdose i Norge i 2021, det høyeste antallet på 20 år. Norge har lenge vært en versting på dette, og det er utrolig tragisk. Spesielt med tanke på hvor meningsløst det er, og hvor lett det hadde vært å endre, om vi bare ga hjelp istedenfor straff!

I dag er verdens overdosedag, og Foreningen Tryggere Ruspolitikk og Chemfriendly holder en debatt med alle partiene i Oslo på Blå nå.

Dänemark gibt der Ukraine 16 F-16s und die Niederlande 42 (was ihre komplette Flotte ist). Das ist tatsächlich nen Gamechanger: Die größte Gefahr für die Ukraine am Boden, besonders wenn es um Kampfpanzer geht sind aktuell die russischen Ka-52 Hubschrauber. Diese haben eine Sensorreichweite von ~15km und die aktuelle Luftwaffe der Ukraine kann dem ~20km entgegensetzen. Die F-16s himgegen kommen auf ~150km.
1-2 F16s pro BTG am Boden werden riesen taktischen Vorteil bringen.

Your lucky #Caturday again, #CatsOfMastodon with a new episode of #TheGlobalJigsaw - the boss lady deep in thoughts while listening. It is about #Putin 's media marathon: the suffocating of independent thought and media in #Russia in the last quarter of a century and some of the main milestones along the way

'history books barely mention . Kievan is just Rus and there is a lot of talk about , lionising the actions of Putin.' A new school initiative was actually launched last year, it is called 'talks about the important things and it is extra curricular. Technically, you can opt out, but anecdotally we have seen evidence of both teachers and children being in trouble for not attending them. Including up to being dismissed or having to undergo a psychological assessment'

Hvaslags verden er det man lever i om man tror alle (inkludert "de mest måteholdne") drikker alkohol?

Anyways, det er på jævlig høy tid å legalisere mindre farlige rusmidler, og disse nye kostholdsrådene burde være enda et spark bak for å ta det på alvor.

If you listen to the new podcast , you will see that people will not see it coming for them until it's too late. Some will protest and quickly be dealt w/. Problem solved.

In particular w/ the integration of into the machine (Episode 4, I think). Their only limitations seemingly are: manpower and global reach
