Merry Christmas Andrew:)))

Getting to the point on hand. I have been a few times in Ukraine, long before this war, The people seemed to be normal, or at least close enough. However, nobody could ever explain this to me: How could the people of that country be so dumb and allow themselves to be sucked in by this sick looking con artist and his 'servant of the people' BS?

People are grasping at straws when they see no other way to improve their situation. Many working people in the U.S. believed another TV personality that he will bring the lost jobs back and end forever wars.

They simply got used to seeing him on his comedy show “Kvartal 95” on television. He was a comedian for many years prior to getting into politics.

Yeah, but even Trump realized he was a comedian with limited talents....

Darras's avatar

Trump is not really a reference.

Don't fix on Ze, he's only a puppet, he's not the master. He's not the swindler, Only USA, UK and UE are.

Simple- Ukrainians knew that adopting the nationalist ideology was a condition to being admitted to The Club, The Golden Billion, The Magical Land Where Institutions Basically Work.

Chris's avatar

Which institutions are those? (And who are they working for?)

Dutch Dialogue's avatar

That change is instigated by usaid. They invested billions in ukrain to make that change of opinion happen. Since it's christmastime, I will not state my (not so nice) wishes for that organisation here.

About topic, it's incredible, Hungary seems to remain the last sane country in a continent became lunatic and dumb.

Happily, more and more country seem to wake up, Slovakia, Tchekia, Italy?

The more I see the backflip of Macron, the more I think he want to fuck Germans.

And it's not so bad.

There has always been some level of conflict in East Europe . Galician Ukrainians when under Austro-Hungarian rule until Russia brought them back into Ukraine after WWI. The conflict with Poland is centuries old. That came to an end when Ukraine & Russia were united. When you have conflict you need a STRONG man. In this case RUSSIA. When the proxy in Ukraine war comes to an end and Ukraine decomes united with Rjussia as thet ha ve been for centuries a more peaceful East Europe will emerge.

Andrew, Christ is born Glorify him. Excuse the few spelling mistakes in the last sentence.

Because Poland has put so much physical and reputational capital into anti-Russianism, even embracing the literal direct biological and ideological descendants of the creeps who so gleefully murdered their grandparents, in their hopes that the Americans will make their war come true, that they cannot reverse course.

This abuse of The Sunk Cost Fallacy is entirely intentional.

The great ( and lonely) french academic Emmanuel Todd says: " Poles , because of their hate for Russians, always have been the German's slaves".

Feral Finster's avatar

Or the Americans. Poles *worship* America, the way teenage girls worship a pop idol.

I really like Orban for all the same reasons. Courage

Orban refused to enforce the arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

Hungary like Germany, has a lot to make up for and even make forget...

Never mind if they pay their unforgettable crimes with the palestinian blood.

Thank God Germany lost and we're not speaking German. Arabic is so much more compatible with European civilization. We should be grateful the Austrian Painter was stopped otherwise Israel might not exist.
