Actually a Hungarian site looked into this crucial matter of the ridiculous table and concluded that not everyone gets that treatment. This is end of December:



This is a day before seeing Orban:

President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan hosted a banquet at the Great Hall of the People Saturday noon to welcome distinguished guests from around the world who attended the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.

Nice diorama.

It's great to have good terrain for your game, but where are the miniatures?

We need a banana for scale.

Incidentally the Talking Politics episode on this was interesting - if a little alarming.

As a Canadian caught up in the whole trucker thing, I wonder to what extent our local alt right activists are connected to and/ or funded by (directly or indirectly) Russia. Because if the confrontation is about to escalate, stoking fires of internal conflict in your opponents is worthwhile... and I think the US fires are well stoked at the moment, but bringing Canada along could increase them a bit (e.g. Ted Cruz talking about Canadian patriots and otherwise undermining the US-Canadian relationship).

Funded, maybe not directly.  Lots of money comes from the US, but is ti funneled to US politicians by Russian agent?  I don't think so.

However, there is no doubt that a lot of propaganda against vaccine and covid protocols comes from Russian troll farms, aimed at Canadians and Americans.  Well, Americans first, Canadians as a bonus.  I mean, either that, or Americans are truly really awful, abysmal even, at their own spelling and grammar. 

From there, all you need are a couple of people on Facebook, CBs, 4Chan, Reddit, etc, talking amongst themselves. 

While I haven't paid a lot of attention to what is said in Ottawa, what was said in Quebec city this week-end is the same bullshit propaganda coming out of the US alt-right for the last 2 years.  The same kind of idiocy Syt's family is posting on Facebook.

I really appreciate the use of bold colors after the neutral colors and pastels of the Russian rooms.

Did Orban get demoted in Putin's eyes?
