Orcs stripped of their access to democracy

Nothing of value lost since they prefer tyranny anyway


Do you even read the drivel you post or you just double down on Russophobia every time? Why?

The amendment you posted removes voting rights in local municipal elections for all third country citizens including those of a NATO member states.

Comparison of Foreign Influence and Election Policies in Georgia, Estonia, and Ukraine

Both Georgia and Estonia have faced foreign influence in governance, but their contexts differ. Georgia has seen Western-backed NGOs shape politics, often viewed as destabilizing. Estonia, meanwhile, is countering Russian influence by restricting voting rights for Russian and Belarusian citizens and stateless residents. Ukraine serves as a broader example of how Western influence can outmaneuver Russian tactics, leading to direct military action when soft power fails.

Foreign Influence

Georgia: Western NGOs, including USAID, have been accused of meddling in domestic politics. The government sought to limit their influence through a proposed "foreign agents" law.
Estonia: Concerned about Russian influence, Estonia amended its Constitution to restrict voting rights for non-EU foreigners.
Ukraine: The West successfully shifted Ukraine’s orientation through economic, media, and political influence. Russia, after losing this battle of subtlety, resorted to military action—first with Crimea and Donbas, then with a full-scale invasion in 2022.

Georgia and Estonia both counter foreign influence but in different ways—Georgia restricting Western NGO impact, Estonia limiting Russian electoral influence. Ukraine exemplifies what happens when subtle influence battles escalate into open conflict.

(there are no goodies).

Here's a novel idea, let Russia maintain its 'sphere' over eastern Ukraine while trying to lever that peace agreement to claw them out of China's camp. I keep saying this, the next hegemonic threat to the US is not in irrelevant eastern Europe, it's in east Asia, you know where 50% of people live? where there's massive growing economic consumption? The longer we waste our time with mirages of great enemies the less resources flow to address the true threat to US hegemony.

Russia may be losing weapons, tanks, and ammo at a staggering pace in Ukraine, but its defense production is going to easily make up for it, a top US general told Congress on Thursday.

US Army Gen. Christopher Cavoli, NATO's supreme allied commander in Europe, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that Washington expects Russia to produce 250,000 artillery shells monthly.

"Which puts it on track to build a stockpile three times greater than the United States and Europe combined," read Cavoli's statement to the committee.

The four-star general focused his appearance at Capitol Hill on urging lawmakers to strengthen defense ties with allies across the pond, saying they must work closely to contain an increasingly hostile Russia.

Among Cavoli's key concerns is his assessment that Russia is replenishing its losses in Ukraine swiftly — and becoming even stronger compared to before the war.

"Despite extensive battlefield losses in Ukraine, the Russian military is reconstituting and growing at a faster rate than most analysts had anticipated," Cavoli wrote.

Thus, Europe and the USA have enough ammunition left for 16-24 hours.
