HELLO EVERYONE,

steelfox98 said:Let’s look at the other side of the coin—how the rest of the world actually views things. Close Western allies, like those Gulf monarchies, are pivoting hard toward China and Russia. Israel is playing dumb, and Mexico is openly pushing back against American policy. South Americans were just waiting for their moment; they haven't forgotten decades of CIA-related terrorism. Even Africa still views itself as a colony of the European Union, while maintaining excellent ties with Russia dating back to the USSR era, where they enjoyed much more equal footing than Western politics ever allowed. It’s hardly surprising that they are shedding European influence so fast; look at how French troops were recently kicked out of several countries. Then there's this whole circus regarding Ukrainian grain, supposedly meant to "save starving Africans," yet it mostly just ends up in Europe while every effort is made to block shipments from Russia. I highly doubt African nations are impressed by such hypocrisy.
After over a year of pressure, not a single non-Western nation has joined the sanctions. In fact, what some people on this forum predicted is actually happening: the rise of the petro-yuan. It doesn't take a genius to see how the petro-dollar serves as America's primary lever of coercion, paired with endless wars and the destruction of any nation that won't fall in line. Immediately following that shift, Argentina negotiated a swap into yuan, Egypt made its announcement, India moved to bilateral exchanges, and Brazil...

It’s no wonder a clueless guy like Kirby only makes matters worse with his idiotic statements:

US national Security Council spokesman John Kirby accused lula of "parroting Russian and Chinese propaganda".

Decades of the Western philosophy "what is permitted to Jupiter is not permitted to the bull" are finally coming due, and the events in Ukraine are the catalyst accelerating everything. This is especially true regarding sanctions, because the rest of the world is rightfully asking, "Are we next?" I recently read somewhere that a third of all countries are currently under some form of sanctions; I'll try to find the link.

Somebody from a developing country said to me, 'what we get from China is an airport. What we get from the United States is a lecture.

And here we go again, more childish wet dreams from the pro-Russian / pro-Chinese apologists... though, much to their great disappointment, it's all just fairy tales for children... ☕

Hey everyone,

It wasn't some conquest; it was liberating the area from Mongol occupation. I don't need to lecture any educated person here on how brutal those Mongol invasions were or the sheer scale of the depopulation they caused.
In the end, the Russians were way too soft. They let the Mongols keep their own state instead of settling the score. Given the atrocities the Mongols committed, maybe they should've just handed them over to the Chinese to deal with.

These transparent English spins popping up lately are pathetic—stuff like Hitler equals Stalin, communism equals Nazism, or Anglo-American genocides being rebranded as "liberating Siberia." It's the exact same spin used to shake things up in Mexico: history books there claim blood taxes were voluntary and that taking kids for the Janissary program was actually great for non-Muslim kids because it helped their careers and fit perfectly into Ottoman multiculturalism. Yeah, sure. Stealing kids is totally awesome.🙂

🤦

The user known as "nimblepuma69" has basically disqualified themselves from having any kind of meaningful conversation given this level of nonsense... ☕

It’s pretty obvious that Russophilia—combined with a glaring lack of historical knowledge, I suppose—has taken too much of a toll... I mean, when someone actually thinks the Russian conquest of Siberia and the north during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, along with the slaughter of indigenous populations linked to Mongolia... then really... 🙄

Hey everyone,

I suppose I should have expected this. Just more noise. More nothingness. It’s all just... empty. Maybe that's the point. I don't know. Hard to say much when everything feels this hollow. Angela Kern2 says:
More lies. Just more of them.
Maybe the population of those Siberian tribes has grown since the Russians arrived. I guess. It seems that way. Perhaps.
One really ought to study history more closely. The Mongol hordes decimated the peoples of Siberia, pushing many right to the edge of extinction. I suppose they even offered women and daughters to the Cossacks just to secure fresh genes—much like what their Eskimo relatives used to do, I guess. If the Russians hadn't crushed the Mongols, and if those Cossack scouts and hunters hadn't been active two hundred years ago, the indigenous population would have simply vanished. Maybe. It's all quite grim.

Now he faces a different kind of threat—globalization. The youth are all fleeing to the big cities, seemingly indifferent to preserving their own language or heritage. Instead, they’re obsessed with English and their smartphones. I guess it's worth noting that Putin is pouring massive amounts of money into preserving smaller nations. He funds language programs, local radio stations, museums, cultural festivals, anthropological research... everything, really. It's quite something, maybe.

So, this user "tihobl" is actually out here denying that the Russian Empire conquered Siberia and the North during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. They’re basically claiming it didn't happen—even though we're talking about the systematic slaughter of indigenous people and the outright theft of their land. I guess some people just choose to ignore history entirely. Maybe they think if they deny it, the facts will just go away. It's honestly exhausting. 😉

Even Wikipedia has an opinion on this matter, I suppose... ☕

Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t help feeling like Urania is being overlooked. It feels... disconnected. Perhaps too much focus on other things? I don't know. It's hard to say for sure. Angela Kern2 says:
Angela Kern2, you’re clearly just trolling me on purpose to get a rise out of me. You're a menace. 🙂

Hey everyone,

wiredseal7 said:You're drifting off topic. This discussion is about the friction between the USA and Turkey.
It’s not like he’s digging up old dirt on Russia—or vice versa.

Instead of coddling a key ally, the Americans are letting their Congress patients extort them for no reason. They've lost touch with reality—it's like they're ripping off tactics from the Third Reich, treating allies like vassals who don't deserve anything in return. Everything runs on dictates and pressure now. But they've backed themselves into a corner; there isn't much breathing room left with the leader over there. Either they bite their tongue and back off, or they'll end up buying whatever scraps come out of those Turkish bases.

It isn't a detour at all... the Armenian genocide is directly linked to the loss of Turkish territory during the North American Wars and later during WWI against the Russians... ☕

So, the Russians were directly involved when those events actually went down; besides that, Russia recognizes those events today just as they did then—as pure Turkish genocide!

Instead of coddling an important ally, Americans—specifically their Congress patients—seem to be blackmailing them without any real reason. They’ve lost touch with reality, maybe? It's like they're copying tactics from the Third Reich, treating allies like vassals who don't deserve anything in return, where everything functions through dictates and coercion. But now, I suppose, they've gotten themselves tangled up because there isn't much breathing room left with the Sultan; either they'll bite their tongues and back off, or they'll end up wearing rags from Turkish bases.

The Turks have only themselves to blame...

Hey everyone,

Then I guess you could also throw in the genocide carried out by Imperial Russia in Siberia... ☕

P.S.
The Turks have chimed in too, talking about "undue conquests"... oh my God... 🤦

Hey everyone,

Turkey is facing MASSIVE economic struggles... which explains why voters punished Erdogan at the polls, causing his party to lose its grip on the major Turkish cities like Istanbul, Izmir, and Ankara.

BTW, the Turkish Lira is basically in freefall:

Just five years ago: 1 Turkish Lira = 0.36 Euros
Today: 1 Turkish Lira = 0.16 Euros

And if I'm not mistaken, their inflation is sitting around 20% annually, which seems pretty high... ☕
