A recent poll conducted by ISEP in #Palestine #Gaza between March 15–20, 2025, shows that #Hamas received only 6% support among Gaza residents. Fortunately (for themselves), Hamas does not allow any elections since 2007.

Summary #Russia announcements in one day
Moscow does not plan any attacks on Europe
Moscow considers European nuclear deterrent a threat to Russia’s security
A deterrent may be only perceived as a threat when you actually plan to invade someone.
Moscow’s rhetoric now closely mirrors their 2021 narratives how #Ukraine fortifications were perceived as a “threat” in spite of their obvious defensive character. An immobile defense line is only a “threat” to your offensive plans, nothing else.

I haven’t been in “many european countries” but in those I was nobody ever asked me about my vaccination status, so this sounds like FUD.

#Russia State Duma deputy Mikhail Matveyev: ‘mass immigration serves to sweep the government’s demographic policy disaster under the carpet’.
Matveyev also says that ‘Russia is changing from an Orthodox and Slavic country into an Asian-Muslim country’ and lists the reasons why ethnic Russians are not having children: ‘uncertainty about the future, lack of optimism about one’s own future and the future of one’s loved ones, the factor of stable employment, the housing issue’.
Matveyev, of course, discreetly omits one important demographic factor, which is the death and disability of hundreds of thousands of Russians in the war, but I don’t think he can afford to do that even as a member of parliament.
I’m not sharing his anti-immigrant sentiments, but I dedicate this to all those who rave about ‘conservative Russia as a bastion of Christianity’ and its economy, because things look much more gloomy on the ground.

To nie jest polemika z Twoim argumentem, raczej smutna konstatacja faktu, że w polskiej praktyce publiczne ten prosty fakt, że “FB ma zasięg ponad 85% wśród użytkowników” kończy jakiekolwiek dyskusje. Mam tu oczywiście na myśli samych decydentów i większość użytkowników, nie nerdowskie środowiska takie jak my tutaj.
Oczywiście, należy mówić publicznie o wadach takiego podejścia ale należy też mieć świadomość, że 85% słuchających będzie mieć zamknięte uszy i oczy. Polscy decydenci nie mają po prostu silnej kultury państwowości bo często rekrutują się z przypadkowych ludzi, nominowanych wskutek decyzji politycznych, a nie z korpusu Służby Cywilnej.
Dla nich korzystanie FB w pracy jest naturalnym przedłużeniem życia prywatnego i nie widzą tu żadnej sprzeczności, tak samo jak Dworczyk nie widział żadnego problemu z wykorzystaniem WP do korespondencji służbowej.
To jest problem z tego samego gatunku co np. kultura parkowania czy kultura jazdy. Oczywiście, masa ludzi rozumie i w teorii się zgadza jak należy postępować, ale wystarczy, że np 30% ludzi w otoczeniu ma na to wywalone i już postępowanie poprawne i pożądane skutkuje faktycznym upośledzeniem, więc wszyscy zaczynają robić… jak wszyscy.

I to jest niestety argument z gatunku kończących dyskusję w Polsce, tak samo jak kończy się każda dyskusja o religii w szkołach czy czymkolwiek innym. Większość ludzi w Polsce używa FB nawet jak nie chce tylko musi bo używają go ich znajomi - i to jest powód wystarczający, żeby kwestie formalne takie jak prywatność, obowiązek rejestracji czy prawo do informacji publicznej po prostu odeszły w niebyt. A jak ktoś zacznie pozywać urzędy za wyłączną komunikację na FB to na tych samych grupach FB będzie milion oburzonych głosów “PRZECIEŻ JA MAM FB, CO ONI ZDZIWIAJАĄ”.

As JD Vance delivered his speech about “European overregulation” and criticized “endless compliance costs imposed on the US companies by GDPR” I have seen some voices from Europe who said something to the effect “I don‘t know a single EU company happy about #GDPR either”.
Well, it’s kind of obvious companies aren’t happy because GDPR was not made to make companies happy but to protect the privacy of consumers 😄
This regulation is based on fundamental differences between US and EU legal systems. In EU, you own and control your personal data. In US it’s owned by whoever managed to extort it from you, and then aggregate, personalise and resell to any other entity anywhere.
For example, if you want to pay higher insurance premium because you have genetic tendencies to diabetes or obesity - well, that’s the US way of doing business, but it’s not the only one, nor it’s somehow axiomatically “better”. And yes, high insurance premiums also have the effect of increasing overall country’s GDP, just as a house burnt and rebuilt also does this magic, yet somehow few people celebrate it 😉
Then someone asked me if I really “feel that my data is better protected thanks to GDPR”. And yes, as a matter of fact the most invasive behavioural profiling aren’t being rolled out by companies like Twitter or Facebook to EU specifically because of GDPR, while in US they just roll them out without asking anyone.
Anyone… of course except for the states which have regulations very similar or even more restrictive than GDPR, such as California. Yet, because California is “their”, these companies and their CEOs with high media presence simply shut up and make their apps compliant with CCPA without all this barking about “how GDPR kills out business”.
It’s the same with EU VAT, about which Vance also whined, whereas US sales tax accounting rules are not even harmonized across states. But hey, you know what? An US business that has to emply a tax consulting company to get multi-state accounting right also increases overall GDP! 😄
So effectively what in US is perceived as each state’s fundamental right, sign of their diversity and key part of their autonomy, in the EU is portrayed as something equivalent to Soviet Union style central planning. And when they post all the memes about “bottle caps” in EU, they of course never mention a gazillion of state-level archaic or absurd regulations which are nonetheless binding, especially if someone likes to build a class lawsuit around them.
And now as Tesla opened a new factory in #China, I’ve never seen Musk make a single critical remark about the overregulation in China, even though it’s even more complex than EU and US taken together due to its vast geographic and administrative diversity.

As you speak of “decades of NATO expansion”, I was living in Poland since my birth and yes, I’ve seen it all too. I’ve seen Russian army leaving Poland in 1993 and then promptly returning to revanchist rhetorics in the following year when they started the war in Chechnya, with their politicians like Zhirinovsky literally threatening former Soviet bloc countries like Poland with repeated annexation. This was, to be honest, the best advertisement for NATO - when Poland applied to NATO in 1996, and it did so voluntarily, it was supported by like 80% of the people. And it was all caused by Russia’s threatening, neo-imperialist rhetoric. If these fuckers behaved like humans, without their usual “we own you” flexing, there would be no appetite for NATO at all. Unfortunately, Russians do have this incurable small dick complex which they compensate by threatening all surrounding countries with “owning them”. They can’t produce anything useful and exportable, so instead they export instability just like any decent gangster.

Yes, I was in Donbas in autumn 2013. I also was there in 2012 and every year since 2004 when I drove through it
There was no “CIA/USAID money”. The only external funds were EU money in 2011 for making EURO 2012. They built Donbas Arena in Donetsk and a new Donetsk International airport. The football fans had their time in 2012, everyone celebrated.
Russians came in April 2014 and they turned it all into fucking wasteland. It’s really very simple.

I’m always happy to learn new experiences, but the problem is that in 2013 I actually physically was in Donbas, where the alleged “attacks” took place. I spoke Russian, and many other people spoke Russian, and nobody was attacking anyone. The actual killing and bombing only started after Russian commando groups entered Ukraine in early 2014, but not before that.
By the way, the “coup” that you’re talking about, this is how it looked like. Here’s president Yanukovych signing the “Agreement on settlement of political crisis in Ukraine” on 21 February 2014:

How it started:
Robots and tanks: what weapons the Russian army will receive. In 2021, the Russian military may receive Sarmat, Zirkon and Prometheus weapons.[^1]
How it’s going:
The State Duma explained the appearance of donkeys on the frontline. General Sobolev said that donkeys on the front line are normal.[^2]

Researchers investigating a #cave in #Poland have found chilling evidence of brain-eating cannibals from 18,000 years ago.
The international team were exploring the Maszycka Cave near the southern city of Krakow when they uncovered a trove of skeletal remains with clear signs of butchering.

To some extent he is, but he also says things that others are just reluctant to say openly. Please note Russian kill prisoners and civilians all the time and have zero problems with that. Milchakov just talks about it openly in public. It’s what he talks that they dislike, not what they do.
Also in what he wrote about Azerbeijan there’s nothing controversial from Russian point of view - extortion of business or deportation of random people for a political show? No problem, they’ve done it many times in the past.
?name=5LHG_6IBcE5ZbA.pngAlexey Milchakov from #Rusich raised a very similar list of ideas to avenge #Azerbeijan complaining that #Russia (!) downed its passenger (!) aircraft.
“simply take away their businesses [in Russia], as we did with Domodedovo”
“those who has Russian passport, send to the front line; if they refuse, strip of citizenship and deport”
“those without citizenship, check thoroughly and deport”
Please note: both Vershinin and Milchakov are furious exclusively because #Russia shot down a passenger aircraft flying from Azerbeijan to Russia, including Russian citizens on board, and Azerbeijan complains about it. Milchakov honestly feels that Azerbeijan somehow “offended” Russia and it requires some kind of punishment or revenge.
You just can’t make it up. I find these two statements excellent clinical examples of how the Russian system of values works, because it’s not something an average Western person can even realistically imagine.
