> [@Reg](#): > > I wonder how Europeans would feel about fast-tracked Ukrainian membership if they realized what the heroic Ukrainians think about dark people, other races, homosexuals and trans rights. its all a political game… in order to join the eu a country must first meet the ‘copenhagen criteria’ which basically consist of a free market economy, a stable democracy and rule of law and acceptance of all eu legislation (including anti-discrimination law) i dont see any way of them getting a membership until this war is over for at least several months up to a year or more and by then they have most likely changed their mind again ---

I get all that. I’m just a bit nauseated by Gunda’s outpouring of drama about the heroic and saintly Ukrainians and wanted to be a prick. I’m correct, though. The Ukrainians are generally racist, xenophobic and homophobic, but it’s unkind of me to note that when they’re having their asses kicked unfairly by another bunch of racist, xenophobic homophobes. ---

It looks like the ruble is worth less than 1 US cent, or less than 0.01 USD for the non Americans. ---

Do you think China will have more success invading Taiwan compared to Russia right now? I do. I would think it would be more difficult to sanction China. We probably owe them a shitload of money. I wonder if you can get gasoline in russia right now. I guess there is no point in working or doing anything really. ---
