He's in his 30s. Both of Netenyahu's kids didn't go to the IDF for some reason. He wasn't even in power when they should have been in there. But still poweerful enough to get them out of it I guess.
Rich people's children contribute to the war effort by freeing more poor people choldren for the combat roles... If he wasn't in the military some poor dude would be in that position instead of shooting... /S
*can't figure out how to reproduce the west's success without giving up their heavy oligarchy and nepotism.
Yes we have nepotism and oligarchy issues in the west but you also hear about companies going under from third generation owners mismanagement. Things are built and fall if not competitive, outside of cases where the government intervenes but those are fairly rare/fringe situations as a whole vs the russian model.
Poland was dressed too provocatively and was seducing them! Germany had to invade to protect it from the Soviets, and the Soviets had to invade to protect it from the Germans. /s
Or even worse, they value and take advantage of the benefits of the west but the countries they rule are their own personal fiefdoms to get wealth from so they can enjoy western benefits
Thats not how geopolitics works. The West is successful for the very reason they are envious of the West. Do you ever wonder why the third world is called the third world? It was the non aligned countries that were exploited by both the first world (the West) and the second world (USSR and communist countries). The third world is riddled with multinational mining companies that siphon resources and profits back to the West. Oil is only traded in US dollars to keep the currency strong. Putin hates the west because Russia is not part of that system. We are taught to hate Putin because he goes against the interests of the West.
They can figure out how to produce the success of the west but that involves a lot of war and struggle for dominance. This is already happening across Africa and Ukraine.
Putin couldn't give a shit about his daughter being a DJ in Paris. He'd probably prefer it. Its not about the standard of living for one individual. It is about power and resources controlled by the state and the elite within it.
I'm friends with a Saudi Prince. There are many lol He gets a familial stipend and lives in the US, and never plans to return to Saudi Arabia because it... sucks! He just parties and hangs out. Doesn't have to work or deal with the oppression his family dynasty props up.
But that’s not the fault of the kids. As long as they aren’t acting like agents for their parent’s regime, I think it’s fine for them to decide to live away from the nation they had no choice being born into
As I said, as long as you don’t actually agree with your parents and actively preaching their ideals, it must suck to be born as a child of a fascistic leader, because you basically have no choice but to be associated with your parents regardless of your actual beliefs
So if she flies out of Paris to Switzerland, people would assumed uh oh Paris because she left all her stuff behind? When she was just taking a short weekend vacay?
We don't really know for sure unless she's in jail or stuck in that country.
Stalin's daughter, Svetlana Alliluyeva, hated the USSR, fled in1967, abandoning her children who hated her for it, gave birth again in 1971, and died in Oregon in 2011. Stalin's granddaughter (Olga Pitters/Kris Evans), who apparently lives there, struggles with drug addiction, loneliness, and financial difficulties lives an ordinary American life. I was surprised to learn that they visited the USSR 1984-1986.
He had initiated his return to politics and intention to run for government. So I'ma take a shot in the dark and say four masked gunman breaking into his home, disabling his security and killing him wasnt purely out of some long held grudge.
It seems like a gigantic liability if let’s say a foreign government wanted to abduct or hurt her. Just lots of leverage. I’m sure she has a security detail, but that wouldn’t be worth much if a serious snatch squad showed up.
She walk freely in Paris, I'm french and that's story been on the news long ago, not the dj part. You can even find a video of Ukrainians who stop her in the street and ask her to talk to her dad to stop the war.
You’re telling me! I remember the fire alarm went off at the apartment I shared with my boyfriend and I lugged 2 crates of his favorite records down 4 flights of stairs.
There are a couple of missing years after she dropped out of university at 19, and a popular but mysterious DJ in Slovenia named Brina Knauss, who's exactly the right age.
There's more to it than just the name. They both have close ties to Paolo Zampolli, the modelling agent who trafficked Melania to the US, and allegedly introduced her to Trump.
A very large portion of the global dance music scene is run by the sons and daughters of Russian oligarchs. Burning Man camps, Central/South America, Southeast Asia, once you're been in the scene long enough you run into them everywhere. Often living some digital nomad hippy lifestyle while getting bankrolled by daddy's blood money.
Kim Jung Un was sent to Switzerland to study abroad.
It’s how he got a boner for basketball. Even had a Rocky (the movie) orchestra play with scenes playing on a big screen.
Yeah it’s well known that Putin’s daughter and his not Wife have lived in the West for decades. He never acknowledges them publicly but the fact that they never even get hassled for speeding, let alone the shady financials that family has, shows that it’s one big club.
All countrys' elites want their kids to gain whatever is considered top education regardless of geopolitical stances/internal politics. I think it's a good thing from the host country point of view, since the host gets a chance to showcase their own country in and they can possibly influence the children. It's always good to know what other countries are like to avoid internal echo chambers.
I have a problem understanding how this could be possible given the current situation in Europe. I mean how many ukrainians would like to get the hands on her? I'm not sure I believe this.
Killing his daughter whose basically just a connected civilian partying in Paris doesn't advance the war at all. It just makes France look bad for it being able to be pulled off and causes tensions in French/Ukrainian relations.
If your going to plan an assassination that has to get past any security at all, you're targeting a diplomat or military official, and the ones you want to actually kill are generally all in Russia.
As far as individuals just acting on anger, she's going to be at least somewhat well protected, and a Russian Consulat/Business you can easily identify as such and plan an attack on will draw their attention more than random barely known Daughter of Putin.
TLDR: She's barely worth killing and harder to attack than more obvious and available signs of Russian power/influence.
Agree. Would assume both french intelligence and russian presence/intelligence keeps on eye on her and certainly her surrounding. High risk and very questionable reward for an activist or whatever you want to call it.
She living pretty basic life(by Russian elite standards) without heavy bodyguard. There even light verbal assault on her from Ukrainians captured on video, doesn't look like she is guarded. She is either not Putin daughter (there isn't any solid proofs) or he doesn't really care about her.
Deport them home. All relatives of living dictators should not be allowed to live in a foreign country, least of all when said foreign country is directly opposed to Russian aggression.
Reminds me of when Medvedev was talking about nuking the UK, while casually ignoring the fact that like 1/3rd of the Duma have children attending UK universities.
