But the mobs of keffiyeh clad fashionista campus protesters that often don't understand their genocidal chants have proclaimed it genocide.

It depends on the case but with Putin propagandists too bad that their western passports aren't canceled for treason. As said before there are more normal westerners there that obviously can't speak out against Putin but have private lives and more normal reasons to be there.

It's really happening. These pro Putin fascism youtube channels run by westerners do actually exist.

You're playing games. Israel is competing at Eurovision represented by their one flag whether haters like it or not.

Answered already.

Thats stupid. Israel has one flag.

You obviously want that.

Good question. They need to eventually pass a basic Russian language test. Russian is very hard. Though I reckon in cases where there is a big propaganda win for Putin, the rules might be different.

The Canadian family (Countryside Acres and Countryside Corner) actually have valid self interest economics reasons to move to Russia to start a farm. But they are not like regular Russians. They're bringing in a large fortune to buy that large farm, something normal Russians could never do. With their money they can buy much more land and have a much bigger operation and have a much better chance to get rich. I respect that motivation and I respect them as farmers. But they could have done the same thing in many other countries that are NOT RUSSIA! But alas their agenda is explicitly political, pro Putin, anti Canada, anti western, anti LGBT, pro Russia in war against Ukraine -- so there is nothing to respect in that.

My solution is that if maga fascists want to move to Z Putin fascist Russia and make propaganda then they can do what they want if Russia allows, but we should be ready to call them out.

No. It was the USSR.

It's called self deportation. Magas and Putin's Russia -- a match made in hell. Of course most expats in general from the west are NOT moving for political reasons. But these maga fascists ARE.

I agree. They are free to move anywhere that allows them to land. But to me they are like fascist Americans who moved to Nazi Germany to make pro Hitler propaganda. To add, most of them are explicitly anti LGBT. I noted on one of the Expat American propaganda videos it was said, we're OK with gay people being persecuted. To me, they are total scum.

Lower taxes and lower housing costs. If you're suggesting that's equivalent to moving to Russia and making videos glorifying fascist dictator Putin you're tripping big time.

It seems pretty much most of them have youtube channels. It makes that tiny 5000 number admitted by American Expat to look to be much bigger. Of course there are more normal reasons to move to Russia. Fascination with the culture / language / history, married to a Russian, low cost college education.

Just an example, dude. The point is that maga fascist Americans moving to Z Putin fascist Russia now is a political statement unlike moving ANYWHERE else now except maybe North Korea.

Yes there are.

Oy vey. The plot thickens. What is up with the Dutch weirdo? I had assumed Israel had zero chance of winning this year. The song is good enough to win but I assumed politics and the thought of another Eurovision in Israel would kill it. I still think that, but ...???

If they wanted something more traditional, they could have moved to a place like Paraguay. Instread they make themselves propaganda tools for genocidal fascist dictator Putin.

According to the American Expat (traitor) dude, it's 5000 people. In other words, almost nothing. Compare to the millions of decent Russians such as Sanctioned Ivan who have fled fascist dictator Putin.

Yeah Gaza is the new Ibiza.

What the fudge?

Why is Australia? Why is Armenia? If you bothered to take two minutes to learn ESC qualifying rules you wouldn't need to ask such a dumb question.

Yes.

I like Olly. He's very talented. But before he was making a lot of kick Israel out noise but then he thankfully shut his pie hole.
