I think Russia tends to be a different story because it causes uncertainty in their backyard. It is a large scale war, that threatens to spill into Europe "proper", and that's bad for trading and the economy in the EU.
I agree that, for most people, there is still a degree of racism, but I still think that Billionaires look primarily at your wallet (ex: Sunak is in all "proper" circles in the UK, Indian or not) and you race secondly.
IMHO l, racism is a tool to keep the poor from talking about classism. So after years of propaganda about it, it's a problem that mostly affect the poor, while they get fucked in their wallet

Elita support genocide as long as they get paid.
Which kind of takes out the racism, but I'm not sure it makes it better. See also them turning their head to Rwanda, the Arabs slavery and so on, as long as they invest in western companies.
Palestinian fault's was apparently to not invest in some shitty football team

Because all other countries of course are kisses and hugs correct? For context the peaceful Japan, as soon as it got military supremacy embraced in genocidal campaigns twice. The Arab had one of the longest, largest slavery network in history, China has probably the record for most deaths overall. And the list goes on.
The fact that the strong oppress the weak is human nature. On the opposite I would actually argue that the true change in government came from western civilization: the only one to start and success in abolishing slavery for example. The only one to invent and promote democracy.

What you are suggesting is even more dangerous though. Law immunity for politicians is even worse

Not really, for the same reasons Russia's economy is now in the shitter: sure they could sell oil to another country, but changing the whole infrastructure is not something that can be done in days. Same with moving the whole production of goods to a completely new country.
Also consider that nowadays western countries have lost the knowhow to produce efficiently goods (while their service industry still remains unmatched)

What I meant is:
Propaganda is writing 0.99 with the intention of tricking people into buying. Note here to purpose of writing 99 is used.
Casualties was born from the necessity of generals to know how many troops are available. There is no psychological trick in there. Just because civilians misinterpret it does not mean there is a propagandistic goal hidden somewhere.
See the difference?

Lost means "not able to fight". If they lose a leg, they might be alive, but not very useful in the battlefield. Therefore the soldier, not the human, is lost.
Most of it it's because in military setting, those two are equivalent, sine the only thing they care is about how many abled bodies they have available for the meat grinder.

Including wounded is the official definition of lost, always been. No need to call propaganda, it simply how is defined.

We European would be happy to have you in, but unlike the US, we are not forcing someone to join. If Australia does not want to join, happy to have them in Eurovision only
