    He's right though. Bulgarians love Russia, because Russians kicked Turks out over a century ago. Hungary and Slovakia are full on pro Russia right now and are not even hiding it. Plenty of Polish people love PiS who are pro Russian and I have no clue how PiS lost last elections.

    And the Western countries are not much different. Le Pen almost won in France, AFD and Reform are on the rise in Germany and the UK. And, holly fuck, Trump got a second term in the US.

    It is utterly delusional to think that Russia lacks strong support. "Haha ruzzkies" thinking is only playing into Putin's hand.

    PiS pro-russian? what the fuck are you talking about

    you can say a lot about them, they're corrupt, they dismantled judiciary, they're anti-EU, they're nationalist, they are republican cocksuckers, but they're not pro-russian

    e: just like 2 days ago i've heard that Duda wants Americans to station nuclear weapons in Poland. that's pro-russian PiS for you. who do you think are these supposed to be used against, aliens?

    he's not wrong. AfD are on the rise in Germany, NF in France, Reform in the UK. Immigration is the core issue for a huge swathe of the european population. whether you believe in russian interferance or not it wont matter when these parties get in, which they will.

    There is some extremely concerning polling in the UK putting reform ahead of all of the other parties including the one currently in government.

    We have some strong european leadership right now in terms of rhetoric, but macron is weak domestically, and Merz had to form a coalition to keep the AfD out

    so? doesnt mean its not an issue that concerns the average voter. at the end of the day they're the ones who decide who forms a government
