The shape of the land masses doesn't change meaningfully in a few hundred years. If geography is the same as it was 200 years ago and the means by which military power is projected is the same (in this case naval capabilities), you can assume that geopolitics are the same too. The only thing that has changed somewhat are the tactics that are applied and the players of the game.

If this is intended as a joke, it's not a very good one.

Volodomyr sounds closer to Voldemort than Vladimir I think :P

Or you can use an ad-blocker. Also youtube is profitable just fine. If it wasn't Google would have shut it down a long time ago.

Communism always works. Every single time it has been implemented it has been a success; drastically improving the conditions of the vast majority of the lives of the people in those countries, establishing the world’s most proven successful education system, offering the only avenue for nations to escape imperialism, overthrow occupation, and develop up and out of poverty from under conditions of exploitation, eliminating unemployment, progressing science and culture more than ever before in their nation’s timeline of existence, and providing the most value-efficient and successful healthcare systems the world has ever seen.

Continuing to this day, Marxist-Leninist governments remain, in nearly every case, the absolute best government in their respective nation’s entire histories — especially for the poor and minorities — and are deeply missed by the majority of people that lived under communism (and no longer do), who also overwhelmingly regret it’s end.

Communists saved the world from Hitler and fascism, took humans to space; they united and advanced China from a backwards, subservient nation to the position of the next world superpower. Communism made Cuba an international leader in medicine, who recently saved the much richer Italy during COVID-19, developed the DPRK into a cutting edge nuclear power, and liberated more of the planet from the most powerful empires in the world — more often and more successfully — than any other ideology or system, ever before and ever

Capitalism has violently forced its way into nearly every facet of every corner of the world, and socialist states are the only projects that have ever threatened to resist, repel, and overturn that domination, and it is only Marxist-Leninist projects that have ever neared the completion of that objective, thus far, in history.

Communism works, and it works so effectively, all the time, so much so that the only way to get it to stop working is to have the most powerful empires in existence intervene in opposition to it, and even they can only boast mixed success. Communism has always worked, it will always work, and it continues to work right now, even as you continue to deny it.

They apologized, so it's fine. The former colonizers can keep exploiting their former colonial subjects through economic, social and political strangleholds. If it's such a big problem they can just apologize again. This whole article is one big dump of projection.

That reason is fear and outrage. People have been convinced this is the best we can do, and they don't want to be looking at other solutions to their problems. But at the same time they realize that their situation is shitty and want to do something about it. Conservatives and fascists appeal emotionally to the past ("remember when things were better and our country was great") and offer it as a solution to our problems today, while promising minimal sacrifice required. Instead they throw the blame on easy targets (immigrants, weak politicians, social welfare, our economy is not competitive enough, inneficient bureaucracy, regulations/protections stopping progress, etc) and direct people's hate towards that.

They are using climate change as an excuse here. The EU directives will result in ruining small-scale private farms in favour of corporate farming. They are trying to impose regulations that are too expensive for small farmers to implement and promote corporations buying up farmland with subsidies.
