Pretty sure a company that gave up on being allowed in China is willing to give up on being allowed in Russia which probably has very little impact on their revenue

Funnily, Google has gotten way more flak for China on here than MS because of Project Dragonfly, a little secret project that was testing the waters of going back in with search (that got squelched by their employees as soon as they found a

Well according to the Russian media the west and Lviv particularly was the hotbed of Nazism (back a month ago some distinction was made that that was the particularly bad part of Ukraine, but now it's all teeming with Nazis), so denazi

He really did say everything exactly right in retrospect. Maybe Russia is too predictable. In case you missed this one, another great prediction from Nevzorov in 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OutvYSl_TLc

The US "started the Saturday Night Live broadcast denouncing Russia?" So when you say the "US" did something, you mean Americans did something. Well Americans do a lot of things. I guess if your reference points are Chin

The Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, also achieved by the same party, put them at such an artificially low point it was impossible not to spring back impressively eventually.

The recent tension kicked off in 2013 and was based on Ukraine approaching the EU. Over time Putin has sold the NATO story well since then but he started trying to directly control Ukraine politics in 2013 when they said they wanted to move

These days hearing something called liberal globalist sounds like an endorsement to me. Not that I consider myself a liberal globalist but I usually find my opinions to be opposite of those who use that term.

They don't try that hard to hide it. Russia had an open internet until this month and still foreigners can participate in unblocked social networks (unlike China where not only everything has been blocked for over a decade but they mak

Yeah even in parts of the USA that's not very low. Certainly much closer (if not equal) to food price in a midsized American city in the South than southeast Asia for example

Yup, one of the nice things about todays internet with stuff like Translate and Google Lens is you can go and see for yourself. I thought Pikabu.ru was a relatively liberal social media site and now they've all rallied around the flag

Killing Louis didn't lead to less authoritarianism it led to Robespierre and eventually Napoleon. Most of today's liberal democracies didn't come from revolution or civil war but from foreign forces deposing tyrant or peacefu

Looks like the liberal democracies with strong institutions that people want to migrate to. Other countries have more to worry about than what's going on in Ukraine and aren't speaking up for Russia either

He and Mearsheimer fall into the same trap of thinking only the Americans have free will. Everything else is just the natural reaction to what America does, the people in other countries always simply act in response to America provocation

Most of what youtube needs is the non-time-critical filler of Google's workload so it's pretty flexible and cheap to host in whatever space is free in Google's data centers, which are already the most efficient ones. And with

He's always just pushed the West is bad narrative. Maybe you agreed with him on a few issues. But he's like that on every issue: liberal democracies are the reason anything is bad in this world. Really obvious to me when he took t
