I'm curious to the fascism you think you're observing within Russia. I have my issues with the depth of conservatism there, but fascism? Considering that Russia has basically every known major religion and racial culture in existence within, and surrounding her, there's no ill intentions on any level of that. Not to the wide range of religions or cultures. They all live basically in harmony with each other. In fact, the 4 major religions engage together within the newest regions recently brought back to the Russian federation to conduct an aid program throughout those regions and services side by side. The Chechens have been and are an essential aspect of military operations in Ukraine. In which their society highly resembles a variation of Sharia Law. Yet they fight side by side like hand in glove. That's after having went through 2 harsh wars with each other.

Do you know why this is? Let me tell you why. Which will also contradict your view of Russia being fascistic. The reason is because NATO once attempted a color revolutions in the Chechen Republic that lead to 2 horrific wars. In which NATO backed Muslims in the surrounding regions instigated the Chechen government into splitting away from Russia. Once it became clear to them during the 2nd war that there were hidden agendas being driven by NATO and the US, they found themselves at war from within with the postering Muslims. The Chechens referred to them as the fascist. Chechens refer to all western governments as fascistic.

I can dig up a documentary of when the especial operations of 2022 began and they were filmed preparing to go into battle in the Donbass regions and Mariupol. Where a commander plainly explains how they view the west and Ukraine as fascistic. How they were forced to push fascist out of their country, referring to those 2 wars. And how they had no intentions of allowing the fascist of Ukraine any closer to their homeland for their children to have to fight against in the future. They take this war very very seriously. And they die with pride in their heart and soles to keep the fascist away from their homeland.

So to state that Russia is fascistic by any means is quite frankly absurd! It's an idiocy taught by perception management. A fascistic structured government/country would never have the structure found in Russia with multiple races, cultures, and religions the depth that Russia has and live in the harmony they do. There is absolutely no sense of control of a preferred religion or culture, or racism any where close to the levels known to western societies present in Russia.

Your free to project yourself as an idiot onto the world society at will. And spouting this off like this will surely be telling the intellectually educated that you're indeed an idiot. Falling right in line with all the others who have fallen victim to the vast amount of mis/disinformation about the history of the Russian and Ukraine conflicts for the past hundred years.

@William_Mary I have a friend who is studying to be an engineer, I forgot what kind of engineer but he is from Morocco and is dark skinned, black hair and his family are Muslim. He is educated and identifies himself as atheist. He told me that he was sent to do some studies in Russia where he is discriminated against because of who he is. No one talks to him out in public, they will text him or talk to him in private because they don't want to be treated like they're for someone who is different. I can't say anything else about Russia but this is what he has told me.

@William_Mary I also don't believe what Al Jazeera news says. Their owned by a wealthy family from Qatar who netanyahu owes them a lot of money which is why this news media is going after the atrocities that has been going on for decades. They are pushing this for a while but not decades before. Just my observation. Another thing is the slavery still happening in Qatar and other middle eastern countries. They said that they have laws passed in 2022 supposedly abolishing slavery but they still have it and no one brings that up at all! If they're going to call out atrocities they need to call all of them around the world!

Indigenous people in South America are also victims of genocide because musk has bought their governments to mine those lands for the lithium for his stupid cars and aerospace crap! I don't see widespread protests about any of these issues. I don't trust any kind of news media. I see that they're also causing division here as well.

This whole world is corrupt! It's all the wealthy wanting more at all of our expenses.

@michelle666gar I consider Al Jazeera as another deceptive MSM. Partially factual in some regards, mixed with dis/misinformation in many regards.

In regards to the ridiculously wealthy Arab nations that are for example also vacation retreats for the wealthy and ruling class, they have an assortment of migrants that come in from particularly Asia, Africa, and Latino nations. These people are basically worked in through various types of agreements through work programs within trading partners of those regions. Just think of how employment services operate in the US. Mainly those that draw in particular lower class citizens who don't have a high school education, criminal background, can't afford a trade education or previous experience within, etc. Most correlated to low level manufacturing positions of minimum wages to slightly higher. They are housed in environments where they are usually in condensed conditions ranging from vaguely decent to horrible. Service sector related. Just enough pay to survive and maybe send some money back home. Paid to stay only. No chance for growth and advancement.

I work with someone who worked for a private contractor in the middle east who I got to question about this when I discovered he was over there. I got a lot of details from him on multiple issue that helped to expand my knowledge on the wars over there, and this was one of them where he validate much of what I had been reading in my sources. He spent a lot of time traveling throughout much of the middle east regions over there as a large equipment mechanic. Having interacted with multiple ethnic people and multiple aspects of the military. While in some of these wealthy regions he and his crew often stayed in places where these workers would provide services to them, explaining how they lived and how they were treated. It's pure survival on their part. Basically a soft slavery, if they act accordingly and preform their duties well. You won't hear about it in our news.

You'll only hear of things like this if it correlates to some other place that resembles even considerably better conditions within a manufactured enemy. An example would be the highly distorted mis/disinformation campaign in the case of the Uyghur's in China. Where our medias manufactured a totally false scenario of their treatment by the Chinese government. While they manufactured a story of abuse and neglect, they left out how the government spent billions in building 2 cities for them in a developing region along the initiative beltway corridor to revive an ancient trading route, and provided education for the jobs that were coming into those regions. They left out how a sect of these Uyghurs were working with western terrorist groups near these regions who occasionally conducted attacks there. Hypocrisy.

Don't forget gold and diamonds in Africa, and the same minerals you mentioned. This new current recipient of the peace prize out of Venezuela, the same. She's a ruling class treasonous POS in Venezuela who's begging for the west to overthrow her country so they can revive the plundering of their resources. A number of years ago asking nuttyahoo to attack her country. Apparently she doesn't comprehend the distance between Israel and Venezuela. Ties to GWB, the attempted Obama coup, and most likely working with Trump in his new attempt as during his first term.

@michelle666gar I have a hard time believing that. It goes against the grain of everything I've seen, heard, and read. If you watched RT International news, they have multiple ethnic reporters including a Black news anchor that's usually on each week. I see no sense of racial judgment while on the set or with anyone he' interviewing via video either. Or their African or Indian reporters. Russia is a vastly large multi race make up of regions and republics and religions. You're going to however find racism anywhere with that said. You'll find fascism in Russia also. A degree of dissent against Putin and the government. With that said also, I'm geared to understand that Putin has a quite high approval rating, and a high sense of a nation unified. I know Russia is quite conservative in the belief of religion and views are strongly correlated to being against the LGBTQ community. So I have to wonder if it might just be he's in a particular negative environment to such.

If I'm in the backwoods of Alabama, I'm not going to advertise that I'm an Marxist atheist and that my great great grand parents were from Morocco also. And I especially won't be going in during the height of summer after the Moroccan is obviously showing. I'm only 3 generations down from Black men with white women, and during the summer I get pretty dam dark. But my white ass from the Irish and German sides can light up a room. But I'm pretty sure that my white ass won't be enough in the wrong scenario that I could be found hanging from a tree if I pissed off the right sort of fascist nationalist. If he advertised it, that could be the problem. But I have to wonder if it's something else that happened.

Look up one of Putin's speeches some time. Just the most recent one even. As the camera spans out into the audience at times, you can't possibly miss the diverse ethnocentricity present. You'll see pretty much every possible ethnic background. It's present throughout the entire audience and military presence within.

@William_Mary Putin is a dictator and he has everyone in control there. I don't believe that Russia is diverse but is trying to make everyone believe that. Remember dictator's give out false views of the country they're running to make it seem like it's normal.

@michelle666gar Russia is diverse but the power in Russia definitely is not. The power is centered on the Moscow region as is all the wealth. The rest of the Russian Federation is resources and nothing more.

@Lizard_of_Ahaz Follow the money!

Harmful lies are being used to change our past history, even the documented history.

@DenoPenno It's so sad!
