What surprised me is that the mortgage rate is only 2% - which seems to make no sense as the year-over-year inflation rate in Russia is 7.7%\n\nIs Mariupol being rebuild into a beautiful city? Not really, but it is a lot better than it had been for decades. \n\nAnd let's not forget that the Kremlin has something to prove here. I seriously doubt that they can rebuild the entirety of Ukraine like this. \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aUf2UrUtQ4 ", "mediaType": "text/plain" } }, "id": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1196137696058155011/https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/458899017602969600/entities/urn:activity:1634644337981657100/like" }, { "type": "Like", "actor": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1196137696058155011", "object": { "type": "Note", "id": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/458899017602969600/entities/urn:activity:1628676253798109201", "attributedTo": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/458899017602969600", "content": "<a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=Africa\" title=\"#Africa\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#Africa</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=Europe\" title=\"#Europe\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#Europe</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=EU\" title=\"#EU\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#EU</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=neocolonialism\" title=\"#neocolonialism\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#neocolonialism</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=history\" title=\"#history\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#history</a><br /><br />It is shocking how little the Europeans are aware of the fact that Africa never really de-colonized.

Remember the ancient proverb \"The enemy of my enemy is my friend\"? In many ways the BRICS are the Yin to the G7 Yang. It wouldn't even exist if the US-led 'rules based order' hadn't been abusing its dominant position so flagrantly. <br /><br />Contrary to the Dutch PM the US takes BRICS much more seriously.

Consequently he lost control of most of the urban municipalities.<br /><br />Unsurprisingly the media in the Collective West has hailed this as a great turnaround. In reality nothing will change much. <br /><br />The secular Kemalist CHP opposition is nowhere near as popular as we are being made to believe in the media and their bland frontrunners have none of the political instincts or charisma that Erdogan has. <br /><br />It is quite telling that in recent times the CHP has made many overtures to Washington to receive the blessings of the American establishment. However the days that the US de facto governed Türkiye from afar are over, Any visible American meddling will backfire badly with the Turkish electorate. <br /><br />I guess the real question is who will replace Erdogan in years to come? Any charismatic (and moderately Islamic) nationalist candidate would do, but so far I have seen nobody of Erdogans caliber step up. <br /><br />That is the problem with all powerful political figures - they will eliminate anyone threatening their rein.

A significant part of the population seems oddly reluctant to move - ever. A large percentage of the 80+ segment hasn't moved house in over 50 years.\n\nIn my neck of the woods this seems to be even more the case than in the rest of the Netherlands. Which shouldn't really surprise me. \n\nMy family (going by the available genealogy) has moved a whopping 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) in the past 800 years. \n\nYes, we are real globetrotters. \n\nInterestingly even half of the children never moved - which could be explained by the dire house shortage in my Netherlands.\n\nhttps://www.nu.nl/economie/6306672/veel-ouderen-wonen-al-50-jaar-in-hetzelfde-huis-helft-kinderen-verhuisde-nooit.html", "mediaType": "text/plain" } }, "id": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1196137696058155011/https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/458899017602969600/entities/urn:activity:1619627835519930375/like" }, { "type": "Like", "actor": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1196137696058155011", "object": { "type": "Note", "id": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/458899017602969600/entities/urn:activity:1619629549253824525", "attributedTo": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/458899017602969600", "content": "<a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=Ukraine\" title=\"#Ukraine\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#Ukraine</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=refugees\" title=\"#refugees\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#refugees</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=Netherlands\" title=\"#Netherlands\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#Netherlands</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=migration\" title=\"#migration\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#migration</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=warinukraine\" title=\"#warinukraine\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#warinukraine</a><br /><br />There are now so many Ukrainian refugees in my Netherlands that some refugee centers have decided to only cater to the vulnerable.<br /><br />Young Ukrainian men now just have to find a place on their own. <br /><br /><a href=\"https://www.nu.nl/binnenland/6306627/aanmeldplek-laat-al-weken-alleen-kwetsbare-oekrainers-toe-is-passen-en-meten.html\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.nu.nl/binnenland/6306627/aanmeldplek-laat-al-weken-alleen-kwetsbare-oekrainers-toe-is-passen-en-meten.html</a>", "to": [ "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public" ], "cc": [ "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/458899017602969600/followers" ], "tag": [], "url": "https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1619629549253824525", "published": "2024-03-27T07:49:35+00:00", "source": { "content": "#Ukraine #refugees #Netherlands #migration #warinukraine\n\nThere are now so many Ukrainian refugees in my Netherlands that some refugee centers have decided to only cater to the vulnerable.\n\nYoung Ukrainian men now just have to find a place on their own. \n\nhttps://www.nu.nl/binnenland/6306627/aanmeldplek-laat-al-weken-alleen-kwetsbare-oekrainers-toe-is-passen-en-meten.html", "mediaType": "text/plain" } }, "id": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1196137696058155011/https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/458899017602969600/entities/urn:activity:1619629549253824525/like" }, { "type": "Like", "actor": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1196137696058155011", "object": { "type": "Note", "id": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/458899017602969600/entities/urn:activity:1619632620897832977", "attributedTo": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/458899017602969600", "content": "<a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=China\" title=\"#China\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#China</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=US\" title=\"#US\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#US</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=warwithchina\" title=\"#warwithchina\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#warwithchina</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=geopolitics\" title=\"#geopolitics\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#geopolitics</a> <a href=\"https://www.minds.com/search?f=top&amp;t=all&amp;q=propaganda\" title=\"#propaganda\" class=\"u-url hashtag\" target=\"_blank\">#propaganda</a><br /><br /><br />...\"Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?\"...<br /><br />Ah, Pete Hoekstra - former US ambassador to my Netherlands.

One indication of desperation is that a partitioning of Ukraine is now openly being discussed in European capitals. <br /><br />The short of it; Ukraine is now widely believed to collapse sooner rather than later and everybody in Eastern Europe is moving into position to profit as much as possible from the fallout. <br /><br />The formidable Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned about this impending partition of Ukraine. Something which could benefit Russia if (and this is a big if) this Ukraine land grab was limited to existing historical claims in the western part of the country.<br /><br />Following the end of the Second World War the victorious USSR remade the map of Eastern Europe. In essence Stalin simply moved the existing pre-war borders westwards. As the German minorities were driven out everywhere, other nationalities suddenly found themselves living as a minority in other countries.<br /><br />As a consequence of the 1945 redrawing of the borders nations like Poland, Hungary and Romania all have their historic claims on parts of Ukraine.
