So the Russian Intervision song contest (which is supposed to be a competitor to Eurovision) was won by the Vietnamese singer Duc Phuc (lol), who turned out to be gay (and a LGBT activist) much to the Russians' surprise. So now they are whining on all the Z-channels. I can understand the confusion though, no way you could suspect this guy of being gay.

A gay man in the arts? Whats the world coming to!?!?
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

An openly gay man in a Communist regime. Now that is relatively special

Vietnams more on the Thai scale of sexual norms. They even have a famous trans actress and singer. I'm guessing it's the Buddhism :P

Oof...regarding Trump's recent statements on Russian/Ukraine, Russian state media just recently pulled out the "there's this American saying lately...TACO".

Yes, exactly so - I just don't think they need to wait to seize the assets.

It's in big part the decision of Belgium because we've got most of via euroclear (??). Meaning that Belgium would be disproportionately at risk for knock-on effects. Which is something the pm is very wary about (in any circumstances).

'Ve got no idea on how to solve that, but then again: it's above my paygrade

St. Petersburg transport boss Alexander Fedotov has died after falling out of a window of a 5 star hotel at Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow. He belonged to the same "clan" as Roman Starovoit who as the transport minister was fired by Putin in July and subsequently died of a "suicide" the same day. :hmm:   

Stay on the ground floor guys.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

Sometimes I do wonder if the people falling out of windows are the ones who are trying to plot against Putin, or at least breaking some rules laid down by Putin, and are sniffed out by FSB.

Name a more iconic duo than Russian oligarchs and windows.

Zelenskyy on twitter lol. Emphasis mine

QuoteWe welcome Syria's arrest warrant for its former president Bashar al-Assad and support all efforts aimed at bringing him to justice.

Since December of last year, he has been hiding in Moscow, along with Ukrainian and other high-level criminals.

It is telling that the world's most notorious murderers and criminals hide from justice in the capital of impunity.

Russia covers up its own and others' crimes. The only way to end impunity is through pressure, collective action, and accountability for all crimes.

We are grateful to everyone around the world who helps to reinforce international law and rebuild countries after Bashar al-Assad and other douchebags leave them in ruins.

Ukraine is accusing Hungary that they flew a drone reconnaissance flight over Ukraine. Hungary is of course denying it.
