Good lord. I hope this ends peacefully.
Do Chinese billionaires, Jenine Añez, and Shinzo Abe count?
Interestingly enough, people mostly don't associate it with the Germans. The majority of people here don't know about the fact. I'd doubt it would get any love if that was the case.
If anything, it's very fitting that we have knock-off German anthem in this era where we don't have any sovereignty.
Serbia is a close second, in my opinion. It's just a simpler version of The Emperors hymn by Haydn, with lyrics that consist of begging god to save the country. The fact that it replaced the old anthem (Hey, Slavs) irritates me to no end. We used to be a country

The Americans had enough juice and a team consisting of superstars that managed to just push them over the edge. A little bit more luck and a bit of brain in the refs heads would have sent us through, but alas. I'm still very proud of our boys though, hopefully we get the bronze.
In their defence, maybe they didn't think that they had much of a choice regarding this attack. Russian bloggers have been saying that their side was amassing forces in that area since the penetration into the Kharkov region. This might be a sort of situation where they attacked preemptively.
Flight of Rudolf Hess repeat?
I'm struggling to find information online. There's some stats on Russian Wikipedia but translate is not working well on it. The images on google maps show that the canal itself is some 20 meters wide, with sloped sides that take up another few dozen meters. I don't know how much water is in the canal now, so it may be easier to ford. Regardless I doubt that the Russians will even start any offensive operations until they clear their side of the canal, which will likely be done in a week or two.
I measured the width to be around 70 to about a 150 meters on google maps, almost none of which is water, but the canal itself. It's not impossible to cross, especially because it's quite a long stretch of land that the Ukrainians need to guard, but it will delay and complicate Russian offensive actions for a bit.
Sorry comrade, but nothing ever happens. Them's the rules.
That's a bit of an overreaction, there's still a pretty big barrier in the shape of a canal between the central part of the city and the parts that Russia controls. They need to break through a good chunk of the line around the town to get in a position to threaten it. With the current tempo of the Russian army in the countryside, it's going to take at least a few weeks before everything is in position for an assault of Chasiv Yar itself.
There was a terrorist attack in Belgrade earlier today apparently. A cop was seriously wounded protecting the 
embassy form a weirdo that recently converted to Wahhabism.
As far as I know, only the official successor country continues recognising Palestine (Russia succeeded the USSR in this case). A similar thing happened with former Yugoslavia. Serbia recognised Palestine since it became Serbia, while Slovenia recognised them only a few weeks ago.
The fact that the open fascist and the genocidal Alzheimer patient are the ones with the most support on this image is incredible.
Literally zero seconds, as they are carrying a nazi flag and are actual members of Azov. And on top of that the piece of shit on the left is wearing a patch of a prominent member of the OUN. The only thing missing on this photo is Hitler himself.

Agrarian sector was similar to Ukraine, but with an economy thats a few times smaller, so that leaves only one option.
Chinese investors revived serbian steel industry that was plundered by US investors post-yugoslavia, very interesting article: https://www.obserwatorfinansowy.pl/in-english/business/incredible-rise-of-serbian-steel-industry/
Yes, I know. It was pretty big news here when it happened since the factory employes so many people in Serbia, and Smederevo in particular. It's certainly a reason why Serbia likes China. A company from there also bought up our biggest copper and gold mine in the east of the country, when it was still a net loser. All of these acquisitions helped the economy here greatly, although I'm not a fan of giving out our strategic resources to any countries, even if friendly.
But that is only part of the Serbian-Chinese dynamic. The other part is the diplomatic support that China has shown us throughout the years. Even as Vučić's masters in the EU increase pressure regarding the recognition of Kosovo, China has (along with Russia) always shot down any propositions regarding the region in the UN.
Also thanks for the video recommendation, i didn't know Norton talked about us. I'll check it out soon.
