I see the German Far Right has only slightly become more friendly to Slavs over the years.

The question does not specify the type of support.

Quote from: Valmy on July 14, 2022, 01:26:30 PMWell it is a strategic element in the war, energy diplomacy and all that.

Yeah. Hopefully Germany and Italy don't go full Sri Lanka next January.

It isn't like the Germans haven't been loudly warned by everybody for decades the incredible dangers to their economy and security of relying on Russian gas. Willful idiocy is how you get yourself into a Sri Lanka situation.

A local Twitter account on international conflicts I follow circulated this other poll recently, which looks less flattering:

This is why proper professionally done surveys will ask the same question in multiple ways.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Just finished Frederick Forsyth's 'The Devils Alternative' , ok its a somewhat dated 1970s/80s political thriller, but two or three of its themes conincide with major elements of this Ukraine war, so worth a read.

Not strictly related to Ukraine, here's a statue to the Russian Wagner mercs in the Central African Republic:

Hah, they put it up with the soldiers facing the wrong way.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
