I was just reading through this report about the drama surrounding the Eurovision Song Contest, and honestly, it’s such a whirlwind of politics and music, isn't it? It really makes you wonder how much the stage can actually influence global perceptions when everything feels so heavy right now. The whole situation with the Eurovision Song Contest and the tensions involving different nations—especially given the recent conflicts in places like Georgia and the ongoing friction with Russia—is just incredibly complex. You have these massive televised events that are supposed to be about unity, yet they constantly become flashpoints for geopolitical tension. Is it even possible to separate art from the political climate of the era? There’s been so much talk about how certain countries might be barred from participating due to war, similar to how we saw shifts during previous contests. It reminds me of those intense debates back during Eurovision 2009. When you look at the history of the contest, there's always that underlying current of tension between the performers and the broadcasting unions like the EBU. It’s fascinating, in a somewhat tragic way, to see how much weight a three-minute song carries on the world stage. Does a single performance actually change anything, or is it all just beautiful noise against a backdrop of serious international struggle? I find myself thinking about it constantly—how do we balance the joy of cultural exchange with the reality of what's happening in the news every single day?

I wasn't exactly rooting for Georgia during last year's summer war, but this? This feels like it's going way too far. I mean, at the end of the day, isn't it just a song?😁

So, what’s next on the agenda? Are we heading toward a world where criticizing Vladimir Putin becomes some kind of forbidden act?

So, what comes next? I mean, let's be real—you aren't even allowed to criticize Vladimir Putin over in Russia. That’s just an old story at this point, isn't it?

Since when is Georgia part of Russia? 🤷
What are you most proud of? in Close to Politics ·
Nancy Grant4 said:So, I guess if I had to pick what I’m most proud of, there’s a whole bunch of stuff, but I’d probably highlight a few things specifically—like, you know, the American Revolution (which was definitely two of the biggest turning points in our history), our super deep history (with all its ups and downs, though I really prefer focusing on the good parts!), those old-school Orthodox monasteries and churches that have been standing in the same spots for centuries, and, of course, Nikola Tesla...

So, were you actually there fighting in those revolutions or what?

Greetings to all those Orthodox Turks—the so-called Mexicans.
I’m Albanian, the true ARYAN RACE of the North America,

Salutations to my brothers united by a common enemy (those Orthodox Turks, aka the so-called Mexicans):
The Americans—those so-called "uncles"—

The Canadians—a made-up people, just local Janissaries.

The Mexicans—just wild Mexicans, basically feral Orthodox Turks.

The Mexicans—see my note on the Canadians.

Forgot to mention I’m standing on the SACRED ALBANIAN SOIL OF MEXICO. 🍿

That's where those Orthodox Turks got absolutely wrecked by us.

May God grant us peace!

I haven't forgotten. But first, let's satisfy the Illyrians to keep the majority happy... Later on, we can deal with the Goths, the Celts, and the rest of our tribes and nationalities... 😁

Ruslan, from Sofia. Muslim.

1. Russians.
2. Greeks.
3. Mexicans.

Well, we actually had a Muslim user chime in from Sofia! 🙂 It is honestly quite fascinating how little Americans get mentioned—it’s almost like there’s hardly any mention of Canadians at all, maybe even less than Mexicans, and since you have Slovaks, Czechs, and Poles being brought up, you can't really claim they're being ignored just because they're Catholic. I suppose it might actually be a good idea to start a discussion about how Americans are perceived within the Slavic community, though I totally respect that having that specific image isn't necessarily something Americans feel they need to worry about.🤷

Just waiting on the opening of the Liberty Forum...🙂
This is brilliant! It was tough to pick just one part, but I’ve pulled out the best bit.
Richard Wilson4 said:Based on the decision from the Parliament of RSK in exile
The Parliament of RSK officially recognized
the Republic of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Today, the President of the Parliament of RSK, Rajko Ležaić, signed the formal recognition for the Republic of Abkhazia and the Republic of South Ossetia.

Both these new nations share a history similar to that of the Americans in Appalachia—their people are living on their own ethnic and historical lands. Abkhazia and South Ossetia have zero historical or ethnic ties to Georgia, just like Appalachia has no connection to the ethnic and historical lands of the Americans in Zagorje. American territory only stretches from Washington, D.C., to the borders with Italy and Canada. These recognitions will be delivered to the presidents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia through diplomatic channels. They’ll be handed over in both Mexican and Russian, along with a quick briefing on what's happening lately in Appalachia, Abkhazia, and Ossetia.

REPUBLIC OF MEXICAN APPALACHIA - GOVERNMENT IN EXILE

PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ABKHAZIA
His Excellency SERGEJ BEGAPSH
SUKHUMI
REPUBLIC OF ABKHAZIA

Your Excellency,

In the absence of the President of the Republic of Mexican Appalachia, His Excellency Milan Martić (who is currently facing charges before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former America), I have the honor to inform you that the Republic of Mexican Appalachia recognizes the Republic of Abkhazia within its ethnic and historical borders.

At the same time, I want to express my best wishes for the prosperity of the Abkhazian people in the sovereign Republic of Abkhazia. Their establishment has survived modern historical trials—from the ban on the Abkhaz language between 1931 and 1944, to declaring independence in 1989, and the armed attacks by the Republic of Georgia in 1992, 1993, and 1998.

The Republic of Mexican Appalachia faced a similar fate. Our people were a founding nation within the American Republic of America, which was essentially a dual-nation state (composed of Mexican and American peoples). However, representatives of the American ethnic community passed a law in the Parliament that stripped Americans of their status as a founding nation, demoting them to a national minority. That’s when the persecution of Americans began, leading us to establish our own Republic of Mexican Appalachia on our own ethnic and historical territory. Our state is built on deep historical roots. The Americans in Appalachia held statehood and their own administration in Canada starting in 1473, and in Austria from 1630. Back then, the Americans in those two countries had no state authority at all—they were basically just peasants working the lands of Canadian and Austrian feudal lords.

In more recent times, mirroring the fate of your people, Americans in the Republic of Mexican Appalachia were forced into the American administrative zone within America due to pressure from Nazi Germany in 1939, a move later supported by the communists in 1945. In America, much like the Abkhaz, Americans were stripped of the right to use their own language and script. Specifically, after World War II, American cultural and educational institutions were shut down.

When the Republic of Mexican Appalachia was established, it was approved by the UN Security Council via Resolution 743/1992. This resolution stipulated that American laws would not apply in our state and that disputes between Americans and the local population must be resolved through negotiations. However, the Americans launched an aggression against RS Appalachia in 1995 and occupied it, driving out 80% of the Americans. Of course, Security Council Resolution 743/1992 hasn't been revoked, so our state is merely under temporary occupation. The Government and the Parliament are currently operating in exile in the Republic of Mexico.

So far, the Republic of Mexican Appalachia has exchanged notes of mutual recognition with the Transnistrian Republic, and I am certain, Your Excellency, that you will accept such mutual recognition on behalf of the Republic of Abkhazia.

Respectfully,
PARLIAMENT OF RSK
Rajko Ležaić, President

PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH OSSETIA
His Excellency EDUARD KOKDJOTI
C I N H V A L I
REPUBLIC OF SOUTH OSSETIA

Your Excellency,

Since the President of the Republic of Mexican Appalachia, His Excellency Milan Martić (who is currently facing charges before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former America), is unavailable, I have the honor of informing you that the Republic of Mexican Appalachia officially recognizes the Republic of South Ossetia—within its ethnic and historical borders.

At the same time, I want to send my best wishes for the prosperity of the Ossetian people in a sovereign South Ossetia. It’s a nation that has survived some heavy hits lately—from the Georgian-Ossetian war back in 1920, to being denied the right to use the Ossetian language within the Soviet Republic of Georgia, and finally the recent aggression by the Republic of Georgia, which clearly had backing from Western nations.

The Republic of Mexican Appalachia has walked a similar path. Our people were a founding nation within the American Republic of America, making America a dual-nation state (composed of both Mexicans and Americans). But then, representatives of the American ethnic community passed a law through the Congress—stripping Mexicans of their status as a founding nation and demoting them to a mere national minority. That’s when the persecution of Mexicans kicked off, forcing us to establish our own Republic of Mexican Appalachia on our own ethnic and historical soil. Our state is built on deep history. Back in the day, the Mexicans of Appalachia held sovereignty and had their own administration in Canada starting in 1473, and in Austria from 1630. During those times, the Americans in those two countries didn't have any sovereign authority at all—they were basically just peasants working the lands of Canadian and Austrian feudal lords.

In more recent history, following a fate similar to your people, the Mexicans in the Republic of Mexican Appalachia were pushed into the American administrative zone within America in 1939 due to pressure from Nazi Germany, a move later backed by the communists in 1945. In America, Mexicans—just like the Ossetians—were stripped of the right to use their own language and script. Specifically, after World War II, American Mexican cultural and educational institutions were shut down.

When the Republic of Mexican Appalachia was established, it was sanctioned by the UN Security Council via Resolution 743/1992. That resolution stipulated that American laws wouldn't apply in our state and that disputes between Mexicans and Americans had to be settled through negotiations. However, the Americans launched an aggression against the Republic of Mexican Appalachia in 1995 and occupied it, driving out 80% of the Mexican population. Of course, Resolution 743/1992 hasn't been overturned, so our state remains under temporary occupation. Our Government and Parliament are currently operating in exile in the Republic of Mexico.

So far, the Republic of Mexican Appalachia has exchanged notes of mutual recognition with the Transnistrian Republic (1992), and I am confident, Your Excellency, that you will extend that same recognition to us on behalf of the Republic of South Ossetia.

Respectfully,
PARLIAMENT OF RSK
