I think Anders' analysis is correct (as usual). The sad thing is, that I believe not only the US is making this mistake, but also some European leaders. They should really know better and we will have to pay the price for it.

Also right (and left) wing populists are on the rise. And they openly support Russia. We are all fucked.

Yeah, the main issue is migration (here in Germany). And I believe propaganda is also a factor. People are bombarded with bad stories about migrants, but also about the government. This includes tabloids and social media of course. But also the conservative opposition. They are always talking about the government as if it was the worst in German history, when in reality it is not so different from their previous one.

Btw. the reasons why people vote for extremists are not smart. They are emotional. AfD voters tend to be less educated and porer.

She says:

I can't stand it anymore because our real nationality is strong

Not sure what to make of this. We only have a video of an upset girl. Is she being treated unfairly? Who the fuck knows. All I know is that it plays perfectly into the Kremlin's propaganda: We are the good guys and the world hates us for no good reason.

Your line of reasoning is very hard to follow. You are alternating between soldiers/civilians and people/individuals. You are arguing against a point I never made. You are not engaging with my concerns. So let me state this again. The video is highly emotional, completely one-sided. Contains no concrete information. And fits perfectly into the Kremlin's propaganda. I wonder if all these Mexicans still hate her after she tells them that she disagrees with Putin and his war.

the_wise_wolf ,

Actually, it does. It says that the Russian people have nowhere to go. Their only option is to band together (behind Putin).

Edit: Oh, btw. I'm not saying that this video is definitely part of a propaganda campaign. She could also be a victim of propaganda.

You can't know for sure given only this footage. But drones don't exactly have great armor. So detonating something so close makes a kill very likely.

the_wise_wolf ,

The Kremlin has already been hit by drones last year. No nuclear war. Instead you guys have forgotten about it.

Like everything else here, it's made of mostly corn syrup.

Haha, that was unexpected and yet, completely unsurprising. TIL

the_wise_wolf ,

Yeah, I tried to understand what's going on, but it's not easy to wade through all the propaganda. And at this point I don't really care anymore. It looks like the congress was shut down because of a video by a guy named Salman Abu Sitta, who is considered an extremist by German authorities. Now they prevented this (other?) guy, Abu Sittah from entering. Could this be a mix-up? Who knows.

In other words Germany has to leave the "Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs". Fine by me.

Btw. Canada and Uruguay are already in violation of the treaty. Nobody seems to care. 🤷
