Ömer Toprak looks white to me. As I said, most Middle-Easterners are white. There is this nonsense idea that whites are only Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxons, Slavic and Germanic people, which is absurd. Latin Europeans are also white, and they look very much like turks, lighter skinned arabs...

Armenians are white, just like Persians, Turks and Middle Eastern Arabs are also white. I don’t know where are you getting this idea that they are not white? What’s next? Caucasians will not be considered white as well? If you have people from Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iran, Azerbaijan or...

At least Western media and NGOs condemned the attacks even when the US/NATO was doing them. You will never see Russian media condemn the barbaric acts of their military.

It’s funny that in Romania the Hungarians are seen as the descendants of the Huns (the name similarity is strong), and the historical conflicts between Romanians and Hungarians are seen as a continuation of the Romans vs Huns conflicts. Of course, this is a propagandist concept because it...

You are so wrong with this. First of all, in a democracy, there are clear procedures on how to change the constitution. In the end, changing the whole constitution requires a referendum in most countries, but it can be done, and proposing to change the constitution will in no way get you...

You can’t separate the economic from the social, as they are tied together. If you don’t allow private property and don’t respect individualism, you are not right wing. As for adhering to the traditionalistic views, this is also not true. In the Soviet Union, women used to work just as men...

You don’t seem to understand how democratic societies work. In democracies, we have a Constitution and we have institutions with different roles and powers. There is not a party or group of people who has the final say. We call it the separation of powers of the state. In a functioning...

First of all, you can’t be economically leftist while being culturally right-wing. If you prohibit private property and promote economic collectivism, you can’t be culturally right wing, which promotes individualism. The Soviet Union was internationalist, the opposite of nationalism. The Soviet...

Accepting a wide range of ideas doesn’t mean accepting ALL ideas. Being more accepting and tolerant doesn’t mean tolerating anything. There is always a certain degree of totalitarianism in any form of government. The democratic systems are the least totalitarian forms of government in today’s...

By definition democracy is not totalitarian, because it allows a wide range of parties and ideas. Leaders come and go without the need for revolutions or lost wars. In order to preserve itself, a democracy must defend itself from totalitarian ideas such as Nazism or Communism, because once such...

Yes, you are right. The stupidity of thinking that an ex KGB officer represents the Tsardom shows the illiteracy of the current European far right. Russia is the heir of the Soviet Union, and the current leaders are all former Communist Party members.

Russia is the heir of the Soviet Union, which was the bringer of communism and the destroyer of the golden age of European nationalism and far right. The far right was destroyed in Europe after losing the war against the Soviet Union and against communism. By being the heir of the Soviet Union...

There is a lot of irony in the fact that the so called Western hard right supports Russia, the heir of the Soviet Union.

It doesn’t matter which are the direct buyers of Ukrainian grains. As long as they get to the market, all buyers of grains benefit from bigger supplies and lower prices. If Ukraine would be unable to ship any grains to Europe and China, the Europeans and the Chinese would bid for the remaining...

That’s a French SCALP missile. While similar to the Storm Shadow, it should be called correctly, since it has the name written on it with the colors of the French flag.

In theory, you are right, but this is taking the things out of context. This war is not just Ukraine vs Russia. It is by extension a war between the West and Russia fought by the Ukrainians, and it is the moral duty of the most powerful Western military to help them win the war with the least...

Even if that would be its best use, it would still save lives (mostly civilian lives in this case) which still shows that delaying the delivery is a criminal act.

Of course it would have been legitimate. If a country is invaded and bombed by another country, it has the right to retaliate. The invading country may call the retaliations as acts of terrorism, just like Russia calls the Ukrainian attacks terrorism, but this doesn’t mean they are not a...

There is a difference between a country retaliating in a war after it has been invaded, and a terrorist organization organizing terror attacks. Is it that hard to see the diffeence?

Of course not. Nobody says it would. But it is also undeniable that a few dozen F-16s armed with modern munitions would have brought a significant boost to this offensive. When we’re talking about thousands of young men being sent to death, there is no excuse for not sending additional weapons...
