Not even humor, straight 1984 revision of history bits that do not fit his narative.

heard on radio that the most likely win %  should be above 87% since that´s current highest % someone won in local elections last year or so,

radio show was couple weeks ago, hope i remebered it right.

It was literally the opposite. Russia planned to send the (largely Polish) military to help the Dutch deal with the Belgians. Polish military of a puppet kingdom decided to rebel against the tsar instead and THAT helped secure Belgian independence.

I don't know, maybe Yaroslav the Wise dreamed of a future Belgium and therefore Belgium is Russia too?

• 1) Sunflowers are native to North America and were first grown as a crop by indigenous tribes over 4,500 years ago.
• 2) *Reverse Checkov* played.

 

• 3) Neener Neener Neener.

Russia stronk!

I always thought Russians referred to Russia as the motherland.

[Stuart Galbraith]

In Ruski Mir, anywhere that Putin wants is Motherland.

Actually what is translated into English as "motherland" is usually originally "Родина"(Rodina) in Russian (literally - "place of birth"). Also, world "Отчизна"(Otchizna) or "Отечество"(Otechestvo) is used (usually translated as "Fatherland" but in original Russian it misses "Land", more like "Father's place")

Thank you.

Of course! "Rodina"--anybody who's read early Tom Clancy should be familiar with the expression.

[Tim Sielbeck]

I heard that word years before Clancy was published.

Clancy (Red Storm, specifically) was 'my' introduction to the word/expression.

Alas, "Video unavailable".  What film was it?

[Stuart Galbraith]

The theme from Hunt for Red October. It mentions Rodina nearly every other line.
