I’m ignorant of the largest continent on Earth(, come on, Asia cannot be only one continent), but i took note of Amílcar Cabral, assassinated by the portuguese, and the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde. Their history books are different from ours.

TIL : The first edition was in 1965 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intervision_Song_Contest
We promised a higher growth than the evil commies had if they followed our advices(, and i love Jeffrey Sachs but it’s quite certainly multifactorial and we can raise Poland, Israel or South Korea if we want to), yet on the contrary post-u.s.s.r. countries economy was destroyed after following our advices on (perestroïka and )shock therapy.
We(sterners) never perceive it that way, yet it seems factual to state that we betrayed their trust/good-will.

The eleventh edition is already programmed, and it’ll be in Riyadh. Great.

Ukrainians, and perhaps even western ukrainians one day, will regret not to have joined crimeans and the Donbass. They were sure that they chose the winning side, and the “only” thing necessary to convince (most of )them to join their historical ally instead is if they change their mind, and see the East as the future.

Sure, thank you, my autocritic was more directed at the form than the substance(, although a bit too “old-school” perhaps), but if you missed that then it’s probably ‘more alright’/‘less amateurish’ than i first thought :)
