The strongman delivered. Again. That’s another point for team Authoritarian if you’re keeping score at home. Yes indeed, after nearly a decade of the Duma sitting around and sucking its thumb, Putin stepped in and passed a law that should have been effected at least in 2014 if not earlier.
"The most basic function of Near Eastern kingship was to proclaim “economic order,” misharum and andurarum clean slate debt cancellations, echoed in Judaism’s Jubilee Year. There was no “democracy” in the sense of citizens electing their leaders and administrators, but “divine kingship” was obliged to achieve the implicit economic aim of democracy: “protecting the weak from the powerful.”"
Meanwhile under liberal democracy, usurers are given free rein.
So does this new law (in theory) give the right for Ukrainian citizens in Kiev-controlled territory the right to apply for Russian citizenship? Or is just those that make it to Russia proper or in Russian-controlled territory?
I mean, I guess it's somewhat of a moot point as the SBU would hunt you down if you tried to apply from Ukrainian territory. But as the Russian army moves westward, all of a sudden people can apply. So it's kinda like Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation - declare rights behind enemy lines, then enforce same as your army swoops in.
This is off topic but it's absolutely hilarious that you keep getting the senile left coming in to lecture you on democracy and equality.I guess they see a blog with a slavic name and a pro Russian theme and decide that it's the same as what they're into.You're gonna have a lot more of them show up before the blog is done chief.
The man just keeps on delivering.
Speaking of Team Strongman, you'll get a kick out of this:

Best of luck getting your citizenship application processed and approved!
