AI-generated videos promoting Poland’s exit from the European Union have appeared on Polish-language social media, featuring non-existent, attractive young women advocating for “Polexit”.
One TikTok account called “Prawilne Polki” published content showing women dressed in T-shirts bearing Polish flags and patriotic symbols, European analytics collective Res Futura said. The content targeted audiences aged 15 to 25.
The videos featured statements including: “I want Polexit because I want freedom of choice, even if it will be more expensive. I don’t remember Poland before the European Union, but I feel it was more Polish then.”
The economic union suggested by Putin would have the same kind of power dynamics that USSR did. In EU independent member states lose their significance as the significance of EU grows.
When it comes to an economic union from Atlantic to Pacific, it would be strongly led by the Russia. It would have compulsory Russian in schools for those who don’t speak Russian as their mother tongue. Any increase in significance of an economic union led by the Russia would translate to increase in significance of Moscow. Dissolving the nations into something led by an autocrat in Moscow would not mean dissolving the Russian nation, but rather more assimilating them into the Russian nation. Just like nobody talks about the Mari and the Komi and the Sakha now, even though those are nations of their own, in a future Atlantic-Pacific economical union nobody would talk about Finns or Lithuanians. Those nations would be seen the same way as the Komis are seen now.
An economic union would be led by the strong economies. Russia would be dominated by France, Germany and at that time Britain.
Like today, people would speak English, unless the Slavic nations cooperate and push one language. Ironically, as a compromise that could have been Ukrainian.
It’s Russia that would lose control, in the east. The union would grow the cities there for business with Asia. The growth from Europe would be so strong that people would speak the common language of Europe.
The Russia would not agree to join this kind of an union. If there is ever to be an economic union from Atlantic to Pacific, it will be one led by the Russia. (And that’s why there never will be).
Of course for “reaching the Atlantic”, getting either Denmark or Sweden in that union would be close enough to count for the Russia.
The Russia is currently leading a similar Eurasian Union. For example, when people in Kazakhstan were talking too critically about Putin, the Russia sent its soldiers to help Kazakhstan protect itself against those people The Russia would not lose control, because it would never agree to join an economical union such as described by you. When the Russia talks about that economical union, it means a union centrally governed from Moscow. Just like the current Eurasian Union is governed.
Kazakhstan was about to have a color revolution. That’s the hybrid warfare of which we accuse Russia in the west.
Russia accepted their change to the latin alphabet. If they were oppressive and culturally dominant that wouldn’t have happened.
