Here is their favourite topic.
Its not healthy this.
Its also not healty that.
Its certainly not healthy that russia thinks, that imperialism is a means of conduct in the 21st century.
Well, I think thats a label that the western world coined after their actions in Ukraine, while in all the years prior to that, that wasnt called imperialism, but more or less “securing their borders”.
What a difference Ukraine makes.
Ah good old times, when the German “Ausschuss für auswärtige Angelegenheiten” switched from “Revisionism” to “Neocolonialism” to “Imperialism” in the span of three months.
Oh and greetings to the Brookings Institution and Fiona Hill as always! (click)
Also, dont miss your pundit who was personally affected, personally targeted, and managed to struggle through the imperialist actions of the Wagner Group in Africa - who made it his life goal to bring forward the atrocities Wagner committed in a massacre of 50 - because thats actually the only noteworthy part in this hearing.
Tomorrow, at 2pm ET, I’m set to testify at the US Commission on Security & Cooperation in Europe hearing on Russian imperialism, telling US Senators & House Representatives all I know about Russia’s actions in Africa, where Wagner forces have killed many and abused women & kids. pic.twitter.com/dN9skpgaRj

After that Dr. Botakoz Kassymbekova, Assistant Professor in Modern History, University of Basel talks about the harsh impact of russias drafting policies in its caucasion regions and what they do to the populations there - and about How a Canadian Compromise Perpetuates Colonial Effects, oh no, sorry - Disney [was] Slammed For Cancelling Meetings With Victims of China’s Genocide, oh no - sorry about russias colonial projects of the recent past, and how they still have not even tried to reconcile with their colonial past.
Why?
I dont know, must be an interesting set of narratives to highlight these days, whilst pronouncing that we in the west have highly superior morals.
Was es nicht alles gibt.
edit: Also dont miss the ukrainian service of singing the american anthem in front of said committee and telling the senator on the panel who “contemplates” kidnapping Putins “ballerina girlfriend” to end this war, if and when the ukrainian artists delegation will visit his home state - because his home state really appreciates music as a part of their highly well formed western valued culture.
Oh, and of course this ukrainian delegation features Timothy Snyder. Grüße an den Rauscher bitte.
