Correct. But "state official" means any state person at time of state work - policeman, manager of state school, state caretaker for old people. And that article exists since 1991 - came to Russian criminal code from Soviet criminal code. And not just "disrespect comment" but comment should be linked to state position and state job.: you can blame policeman for his dirty car, but can't blame for his job in comments, you should use official channels to complain. Here is no laws specially "for president" like in Germany or Italy.

I'm generally amazed by Europeans (citizens) – before their very eyes, old lady bin Leyen and her puppet Kallas are beating the drums of war and threatening us with the Russian bear, with the goal of concentrating as much power and the former sovereignty of EU countries in their own hands as possible. Under this military march, unelected bureaucrats at the top of the EU are collecting hundreds of billions of euros from countries (and their citizens) – they're already approaching a trillion. And all this is being done under the scare tactic of "Putin will attack." And to make this lie believable, the news is fueling rumors and panic about "Russian drones" and "Russian MiGs," without providing a shred of evidence in either case.

So what? Criminal code is criminal code. Even if monarch is puppet or even clown like in UK. For example in 2011 in Denmark few Greenpeace activists were punished by such lese majeste article (§267 of the Danish penal code). Articles 490 and 491 of the Spanish criminal code govern "insults to the Crown". In 2020 12 individuals were punished.

Exactly. I many times already wrote here, on forum, what there is no freedom of speech in Russia and exists problems in courts, where prevailing accusatory bias, primarily because the defense is provided by cheap and free lawyers from the state. But now I'm talking about the hypocrisy and pretense of European authorities pretending that democracy is thriving in the EU... Well, yes, "democracy" in a region where half the countries are monarchies, where there are criminal codes for insulting someone whose privileges are simply inherited... It's ridiculous.

Look at facts: "War is a peace" (O., 1984) - EU created fund for to supply UA with weapon and ammunition and named it "Peace fund". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Peace_Facility Doublethinking - call own regime as democracy with freedom of the speech and at the same time implementing censorship and arresting people (like in UK) for posts and likes in Twitter and Facebook. How censorship is working here: they maintain list of forbidden pages (mostly related with drugs, explosive making and with methods of suicide), after Feb 2022 they implementing restriction on some Ukrainian and EU sites, but the directly call it censorship for the time of military operation. Maintained list is published officially. Anyone may use VPN and using VPN isn't forbidden here. At least Russia is honest and names things by real names, while in EU and UK is going non-stop Orwell festival.

The same. Some sites are restricted to visit. But here nobody declares it as a freedom and democracy like in EU. In EU Orwell is celebrating his "1984" masterpiece.

And remember: if you are living in EU or UK, European bureaucracy deciding what you will read and what you should know. They call it democracy.

One more example of British lie: real causalities are below 200K, and that is confirmed by BBC (I wonder why they saying truth?)

And again: zero proof. Russia has radar traceroute confirmed what Estonian airspace wasn't touched... Just one more lie from Western propaganda... All we know, what British "highly likely" means "it is lie, but we want you trust it"...

Well... as I told from beginning: typical Polish hysteria mixed with British "highly likely". Poland's attorney general said the only house damaged in the so-called "Russian drone strike" was destroyed by a missile fired from a Polish F-16 fighter jet. https://www.rp.pl/wojsko/art43015001-polska-rakieta-uderzyla-w-dom-na-lubelszczyznie

When country lays on 17,1 mln sq km, of course it will has a lot of minerals.

You are absolutely right (no). That is why the US still imports rocket engines from Russia - everyone knows: Russia has the largest deposit of rocket engines: you just need to build a mine...

All this talk about Hungary, Slovakia and Turkey is just a distraction. The largest buyer of Russian LNG is France (6.3 millions tons in 2024). Then Germany and Spain. Oil isn't and never was main Russian export to EU, but natural gas is. Russia still supply about 12-18% of EU needs in gas and EU can't cancel it - market of gas isn't market of buyer - there is no enough of gas on planet, it is seller's market and EU can't find enough gas to substitute Russian gas and this situation will last at least 2 (very EU-optimistic declaration), but more realistic at least 3 more years. Because Russia is #1 gas supplier in World (natural + LNG) and controls 20% of market (2024).

Even more interesting: Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski: All 19 drones were "dummy" - they did not have explosives.

EN: There is a growing wave of pro-Russian sentiments and hostility toward fighting Ukraine, orchestrated by the Kremlin on genuine fears and emotions. The role of politicians is to stop this wave, not to ride it. This is a test of patriotism and maturity for the entire Polish political class. Tusk couldn't stand it, and now it has become clear who needed the "19 drones" and who benefits from their appearance in Polish airspace. Comments under his post:

You know that perception is subjective, right?

Back to topic: After emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, 46 countries out of 193 signed a statement that Russia was involved in the penetration of drones into Polish airspace. As we can see, Poland has no evidence of the Russian origin of the drones, otherwise this evidence would have been presented at the meeting. That is why only 1/4 of the countries that supported the statement for political reasons believed Poland. Full video of meeting https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1y/k1ynx4wy8z The substantive part opens with the words of the UN Deputy Secretary: "We are discussing publicly available information, the UN cannot verify or confirm" (read: apart from Poland's words, we have no evidence),

No, thanks. He is boring. Maybe because I do not allow politic on my forum? PeterPS is so desperate for attention that it ignores the forum rules and posts political topics in this section in order to get attention.
