comments of the day:

• decent refugees. in europe the common rhetoric trick is to talk about migrants instead of refugees. looking at the statistics it happens that nearly all migrants derive from countries where they face war or religious/ethnical prosecution. but as long as we speak of migrants, it is easier to handle them politically like migrants – people who move voluntarily and self motivated, and therefore illegal if arriving without permission. whereas a refugee can’t be illegal due to the geneva convention.
• rapture on tradition. the state duma proposed to ban products, cosmetics and alcohol from the us and the eu. the head of the party “fair russia” Sergei mironov said that it is necessary to expand the capabilities of russian producers by banning products from the united states and the eu: alcoholic beverages, cosmetics and goods brands coca-cola and mars.
