World Politics Thread - Round 2

[Norwegian13]

A new thread where we can discuss World Politics in general.

[Norwegian13]

Duuring said that he deleted the old World Politics Thread because it exceeded a 100 pages and we all know the FSE 100-page rule.

However, to drive this thread on-topic a bit we could discuss the recent elections in Moldova and Bulgaria that saw two Eurosceptic and pro-Russian presidents get elected.

I mean it wasn't just one thing; obviously it's been over 100 for a long time now. Now that the campaign is over, you 'Muricans have to either get over it or get making 'Murica great again, depending on which candidate you wanted to win. Either way, the memes can stop now and we can move on to more grown up things. It's simply a convenient time to merge the politics threads and hopefully keep them more mature (although I'll believe it when I see it).

There's nothing wrong with discussing politics, but just keep it at discussions, rather than spamming memes, spewing insults and so on. Obviously this applies to (and always has) people at any point on the political spectrum, but for some reason those on one side in particular seem to enjoy playing the victim card. It gets you nowhere. Don't bother.


Anywho, what do people think of Trump's talks with Putin, potential attempts to defrost the relationship and so on?
On the one hand I welcome any reduction in jingoism between the US and Russia, but on the other I hope it doesn't also imply that Trump will turn a blind eye to the massive abuse in Russia.

[Thunderstormer]

Going off topic or whining about the past thread is not what this thread is for.

and pretty much  this.

now back to the topic.

[StevenChilton]

Anyone watching the French Presidential elections? The Republicans (French conservatives) are having their open primary tonight.

[Duuring]

I hope Juppé, but I predict Fillon. Anything is better then SarkoPen though.

[BabyJesus]

will it be live streamed with english subtitles?

[Norwegian13]

Rooting for Le Pen. Let's secure another glorious Eurosceptic and "deplorable" victory.

[BabyJesus]

I would agree looking at the other candidates

[Duuring]

Le Pen is nothing but a homophobic collaborator-in-waiting funded by Putin.

Before we have the French and German elections, there will be parliamentary elections in my country on March the 15th, which will probably be seen as an indicator for the outcome of the German and French elections. Polls show a very splintered result. No majority coalition with less then four parties seem likely. Nobody has much faith in Dutch Trump Wilders.
