Russia has started an offensive at Kharkiv Oblast. The Ukrainians are saying they repelled the first attacks. Let's see how it goes.

Not quite - he's not sending money because the budget has been squeezed dry by the extortion rack Congress has turned Brazil into. But have no fear: Congress seems to be moving to approve a spending spree pretty soon. Pay no attention to the fact that most of it will be destined to electoral...

Rio Grande do Sul is fucked - State Debt was already too high; after being hit by the worst flooding in recorded history(previous record high of the Guaíba River was in 1941, with the level of the river reaching some 4.75 metres - the 2024 flood topped that by some 33 cm), it's quite likely that...

What someone commented in another forum is there are rumours that, when Prigozhin went apeshit, Putin was forced to have a closer look at what Shiogu and his clique were doing, to Shoigu's detriment.

Germans had already designed the StuG III for that purpose. Also, they found uses for their captured French tanks - airbase defence, anti-partisan duty(a Renault R35 will go a lot of places in the Balkans that are beyond heavier tanks). Lastly, the limitations of those one-man turrets were...

He already had one(look around for 'We Know Nobody But You' on YouTube). This one might be a new theme song for him, though. EDIT: BTW, this is common in North Korea. His father's 'signature song' was called 'No Motherland Without You'.

The only prediction I dare make as of now is he will be impeached before he would get his compulsory retirement(which is scheduled to happen at December 2043, when he becomes 75 years old). My inclination is to believe the guy who says the process has already begun.

Because Roosevelt seemed to be of the opinion that colonialism was worse than communism, so Japan won't get the same gibs the Soviets did.

The comparison the guy was doing was with the Dilma Rousseff impeachment, showing that the first thing the President of the House of Representatives does is to deny he will accept any petition to start the process - the article he brought up was one that said that Eduardo Cunha(then-President of...

Nowadays, he's posting solely on his Telegram channel, which he recently closed EDIT: closed for new members, that is(and changed the name), after posting his opinion on the STF decisions regarding the Fake News inquiry. As he declared the AI-5 was less restrictive than what Moraes is...

Yes, by a big margin.

A political commentator I follow(he gets more predictions right than the others, by far) is convinced that Alexandre de Moraes will be impeached - according to him, it'll be a drawn-out process but it will end in his ousting. Let's see if he gets this one right as well.

No need to take Dutch Indonesia - if China is on the Axis, the USA will supply Japan whatever it needs to fight the Chinese(and there is no third party to play local balance of power with the Japanese).

Because they think they can handle them if it comes to that.

Considering the ties between Germany and China since the 1920s, it made more sense than joining the Japanese. It would have made WWII even more of a conflict of land powers vs. sea powers.

I, too, read them for the interviews.

This would be likely, IMO.

*snort* I suppose the Dulebian language would be an offshoot of Croatian dialects, then, since it explicitly isn't an offshoot of the West Slavic languages?

I'd say that a Baathist/Nasserist Kuwait has a significant chance of becoming part of Iraq, so the country and the people would be worse in general, ceteris paribus(or at least as equal as the divergence allows it to be). As for former monarchies becoming (somewhat) parliamentary democracies, I...

There was also rabble-rousing from the usual suspects(who were in activity back then) loudly threatening a nation-wide return of the 1991 LA Riots, it must be said.
