What American election mean for Central Europe? Choice of Kamala Harris means robust support for Ukraine and commitment to strong transatlantic relations. A support of moderate republicans can translate into a more determined posture vis-a-vis #Russia Choice of Donald Trump means the end of military aid for Ukraine and pushing #Kyiv towards a dishonourable peace. #Transatlantic relations would be in crises and populists in #CentralEurope would gain ground.

The goal is to present American voters with the #Kremlin's vision of the world order, portraying #Russia as a victim of Washington's policies. The Russians appear to be fully committed, utilizing all available opportunities to influence the US elections, which, according to Putin, could mark a turning point in the course of the war and geopolitics as a whole. Be cautious and avoid falling for #propaganda. #US #RussianPropaganda #TuckerPutinInterview

Chinese influence in the Solomon Islands is a great example of China's foreign policy.   Chinese investments into a country cause said country to become reliant on these investments, giving China a great deal of influence in the domestic and foreign policies of these countries.   This can only be matched by incentivizing these countries to break the chain of Chinese influence, by offering partnerships with the U.S. and its network that offer better return on investments.   #China #ForeignPolicy #Military #GPC #NPC

#RussianElection Davankov has every chance to come second. He is the only candidate who stuck to the pro-negotiations rhetoric on Ukraine (instead talking about a military victory) and spoke more about development than patriotism. He was backed by barred liberal candidate Duntsova and a number of other liberal figures, many of whom encouraged to vote for anyone but Putin but hinted on Davankov. Therefore, Davankov will get most of the liberal vote, a significant portion of the anti-war vote. Fewer people will vote for not-quite-socialist Kharitonov and not-quite-Zhirinovsky Slutskiy. Putin will get the pro-Putin vote. Davankov will get the anti-Putin vote. No one will get the leftist (communist, socialist, etc.) vote because Russia's Left will vote against all four candidates (crossing them out on the ballot). Kharitonov & Slutskiy will get whatever is left - the votes of their parties' loyalists. Provided that the violations are minimal, Davankov will come second.
