The Iran war and Poland [826]
We are one people. One leader. One empire.
Hate to break it to you, Bobi, but "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer" is probably (just probably) not the best slogan to win Polish hearts.
every person in Europe could name 10 Italian gifts to the world in less than a minute
Also, I saw Italy related magazines in at least half a dozen languages all over Europe. Somehow I didn't notice similar periodicals about Russia.
As I pointed out in #716, Soviet Union aside from the real power had also certain amount of soft power to exert, at least in some parts of the world. Gold toilet sh*tters' putinist Russia has neither. That's why the current Russian government is such an abomination--they turned a huge country, rich in resources and inheriting the technological and scientific accomplishments from the Soviet Union, with amazing potential to get wealthy and exert cultural soft power all over the world, into a pariah state allied to and relying on weapon deliveries from North Korea and Iran. Russia's problem is not Ukraine, EU, NATO or GloboHomo; their problem is kleptocratic (on a galactic scale) mafia that rules their country.
But why am I stating the obvious here? Ehhh...
And, there it was. I sight forever burned in my innocent child's brain
Such traumatic experience! Now I understand why you became a metalhead later in your life. ;)
