He knows, he's just willing to take a piss on it for the sake of cheap votes.

It's the same thing in plenty other populist right-wing politicians. They say they're patriotic just to rile up the dumbest of the dumb, and then they immediately piss on the nation itself to be "provocative".

Jer realno i jest, kada se analiziraju države članice to je vrlo vidljivo.

Čak je i zanimljivo vidjeti kako EU novac povoljno utječe na države koje nisu članice, ali i kako se namjerno odvajanje od EU odražava na države koje jesu - Mađarska je tu najbolji primjer.

Ne mogu biti jeftini populisti bez stvaranja besmislene histerije, ne ide to

They handed russia enough ammo for three more years of war. Idiots.

Ja srela šalterušu iz porezne uprave gdje su me razapinjali prije par mjeseci, nisam dobila da biram.

Jel nije da opet laže? Jer iako sa "ispravnim" slovom ta osoba postoji, ak se ne varam nema veze sa pozicijom koju je žena spomenula.

Dude. Had the issue been the military campaign, they'd have been excluded in 2008. EBU never had issues with participants starting invasions and doing war crimes.

And that comes with not even mentioning russian paramilitaries butchering entire villages in Africa and killing Syrians. Human rights were never a concern for the EBU. War crimes were never a concern either. Had they been, Russia would be banned from participating in 2008 already.

Dude. Russian invasion of Ukraine started in 2014.

In 2008, they invaded Georgia. In 2009, EBU happily allowed them to stage a military - infested Eurovision with a pink tank on the stage. Less than a year after they ethnically cleansed areas of Georgia.

Military aggression was never an issue.

the aggression itself didn't matter, EBU wanted to allow Russia to compete until the channels went fully wild. This was fully a business decision, not a moral nor a political one.

The calls to exclude Israel should come from the same position to be effective, not from that simplification.

it's because VGTRK and Channel One are both tools of Russian propaganda financed directly from the state budget. If you get any of those Russian propagandist shows where they celebrate how they'll bomb the EU itself and genocide Ukraine, all of it is done by former partners of EBU.

russia wasn't excluded because of its military campaign, Sanchez seems to be trying to get votes from idiots.

There are ways to compare russia and Israel regarding the EBU, but this take has got to be one of the dumbest possible attempts to do that.

Bruh this isn't about your retarded opinions.

EBU didn't disqualify russia "for being at war". Nobody is getting disqualified "for being at war".

That is irrelevant. You yourself have chosen to judge them based on that criteria, not EBU.

None of them were judged on the basis of "being at war". Ukraine itself is a victim of a foreign invasion, punishing them for it would be a baffling choice to make.

russia wasn't disqualified for "being at war". EBU happily allowed them to compete while engaged in warfare and ethnic cleansing.
