Tsar.

>Tsar

/slav/

>latvian makes the thread

He had the disastrous qualities of being both incompetent and stubborn. There are many incompetent and lazy rulers however they generally open to relying on their court/bureaucracy which generally keeps the status quo ticking over.

As for his actions:
>He was a disastrous diplomat and got Russia involved in a terrible war with Japan which marked the first time a European power had been defeated by an East Asian one since the Mongol Conquests. He literally was surprised when Japan responded with military force.
>Destroyed all attempts at indigenous reform squashing both the Duma and Stolypins work effectively killing Russia's chance at modernizing on its own terms like Japan. A process which also radicalized his population.
>Completely botched the situations prior to WWI with his indecision managing at once to both antagonize the Central Powers *and* his own military.
>As the War went downhill (which in the process decimated the elements in the military loyal to him) he left the Capitol to personally lead the war effort and placed the running of the country in the hands of his wife (who was heavily influenced by Rasputin)
>World War I signaled the end of absolute monarchies however unlike all the rest he vehemently refused to abdicate (despite constant warnings by advisers) until he was literally placed under house arrest by the Liberal revolutionaries (yes not the Bolsheviks but the liberals).

All in all he destroyed his state, military and the legitimacy and popularity of the monarchy in the eyes of the people. He is just as responsible for the Russian Revolution (the Red one) as Lenin is.

u were too slow, so i had to do it

Thank you for the (You)s.

>you were too slow

so he was just estonian?

You're welcome, you silly little slut.

reminder that the Livonian Order was ok

>you silly little slut
Rude desu.

germans will pay for this

Fellow Lithuanians, who are you gonna vote for this november?

krikdems

>november
brain fart I meant october

any reason why?
They're pretty shit desu. Almost as bad as socdems

But they were nice it turns out, stopped the russian/orthodox advance, helped to create Latvian, the germans that moved here started speaking Latvian instead of forcing German onto us like they did with the old prussians

Because they're the only tolerable ones out there.

they are no nice to us now, they gona pay for this

well the germans are pussified now, thats a shame indeed

fair enough, literally every single party is pure shit

They're less shit than socdems and if enough people vote for them they can take most of the minister portfolios, if take make a coalition with libruls. Literally the only reason is to see the likes of Butkevičius, Pitrinienė, Vėsaitė and so on gone.

Not sure, yet waiting for debates on LRT those are always fun

why are polaks so ugly?

I mean, ideally, I'd vote for the reinstatement of our rightful ruler, Inigo von Urach, and the continuation of the kingdom as ratified by the council in the Act of Independence of Lithuania, but that's not an option right now.

>tfw the best mayor Riga has ever had was british
>tfw Elizabeth II even made him a statue in Riga

...

but let's be fair here, what policy difference do they actually have from socdems?
Frankly both parties are just spewing bullshit
nobody's talking about proper tax reform(I mean come on >40% tax from salary + 21% VAT), nobody's talking how they're going to get rid of social problems(alcoholism), nobody's talking about jobs and how to stop companies from moving to other countries(like estrella and cocacola)

yea I love those

Who?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Armitstead_(mayor)

For me it's not about policy, I just don't want that Sid looking motherfucker out in the public anymore. He's embarrassing.

that kind of thinking is what created this shitty political situation in our country desu lad

...

bump

>GET 055
fucking baltic culture
mods and jannies, still think dubs are not part of baltic culture?

No, it didn't. Voting for incompetent retards did. In this particular case they're all retards. I'd rather have a retard that can put an english sentence together without sounding like he has a double digit IQ representing the country.

Neither of the parties will do anything about taxes (nor can they) because people just don't pay taxes (google VAT collection rates in Lithuania).

Why are lithuanians so weird?

>Mokcus
Shamefur dispray

>I'd rather have a retard that can put an english sentence together without sounding like he has a double digit IQ representing the country.
haha I remember that
fucking butkevicius
it was so horrible it became funny

you will never own this

Are you an hero?

I just realized he looks like Kazlas. Weird desu.

Sad more than funny. Why doesn't that nigger just speak lithuanian. There were translator present, no need to pretend you can do something you can't. Also that fuckwit has no spine whatsoever, changes his statements twice per day.

>tfw Juris Dobelis will never be minister president or president

LITERALLY NO REASON TO KEEP LIVING

Moot was Lithuanian

>Why doesn't that nigger just speak lithuanian
gotta please those EU overlords, don't want them to think you have a national identity or something

Alright, so basically to reiterate, I don't particularly like any party, but the party that gave us Graužinienė and Butkevičius definitely needs to go. Krikdems have the best chance of removing them, thus vote for them.

Wait for the debates lads.

I will own this though

Nice rims

>but the party that gave us Graužinienė and Butkevičius definitely needs to go. Krikdems have the best chance of removing them, thus vote for them.
yea probably gonna vote krikdem

waiting, but nothing will really change after debates. New parties will not suddenly emerge. Krikdem is the least retarded out of all the retards it seems.

Look at the polls. Most people don't watch them and the debates will have almost no effect. Voting for anything else than socdems, liberals or krikdems is throwing your vote away and you know it.

>tfw Liberals will never recover

>Straightvia
>Bistonia
>Gaythuania
:DD

Those farmer lads could have gained some actual ground but they fucked it all up because they're incompetent. Thank heavens but it still proves that it's possible to make a new party with the right people and government fuck ups.

I wonder how Kaunas will vote this time round. Matijošaitis btfo'd krikdems and now is openly endorsing socdems.

yes yes hello a very peculiar post was made in our general
I'd appreciate it if you shared your thoughts with me
thanks

Matijošaitis is a businessman, not a politician, and an exquisitely entitled twat. Probably the only reason he's endorsing socdems is because Kupčinskas was krikdem. Of course Kaunas might vote for socdems, because he's quite well liked there. Hell, it might even be good for Kaunas, but I doubt it'd be good for the rest of us.

>had the pleasure of having a few talks with him with regards to one of his constructions
I literally just answered the phone without knowing who's calling and he started yelling.

hahahah

what a bunch of faggots, Latvia proves to be best balt again

>. Of course Kaunas might vote for socdems,

lol

>he can't appreciate male beauty
I pity you

am i welcome here?

I can appreciate a good double, but that doesn't mean I want to stick my willy in them.
Fag.

lol
quite the first impresion

Yeah, such a shame that what might be good for Kaunas is out of line with the country.

You never know, lad. A lot has changed.

Get your people to fax your papers through and we'll let you know in 3 - 5 business days.

>he never had the urge to fuck a nice set of digits
please don't tell me you also don't get hard when you see a nice car

>they want a permit to dig through a lot that has communications running through it
>answer the phone
>"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! SIGN THE PERMIT! YADA YADA YADA"
>mfw I'm not signing the permit to dig because their guy isn't signing off that they'll be done by a set date or reimburse any incurred losses
>"Please sort it out with your employee"
30 minutes later my boss is calling me, asking why I'm pissing off Matijošaitis. Fun day.

where could i get my hands on a new edition textbook in pdf?

It's been many months since I posted on /belt/, what changed since aussies joined balt?

I don't.
Unless it's a bmw e39.

Shitposting increased tenfold, entire threads would get filled with memes and retarded one word posts within an hour or two. It actually calmed down only a couple days ago.

Linkomanija - free downloads until 9/11
Some unis give free e-books

Gimme the name, maybe I'll have it.

who /masiulis/ here?

so nothing really changed? Is the balt music stream thing ( forgot how it's called) still on?

elt.oup.com/catalogue/items/global/business_esp/international_express/upper_intermediate/9780194597876?cc=lt&selLanguage=en

>hands on
>actually a program

>nothing changed
Everything that was bad got worse.

No, I don't think it is. I think they tried reviving it last month but it didn't work out.

plug is pretty dead

so things really got worse. The music stream thing really livened up the thread, sad it's gone.

How do we make Latvia great again?

We revive Ulmanis using balt pagan magic

>pic related

can't find anything in my collections. Sorry, lad. I found some sketchy site but you can find it yourself if you google the name and add download at the end

Why do Latvians like him so much?

dead like my balt steam group, nice.

he was a good president, like brazauskas was

Which party will reduce the number of government employees?

I think people could force most of the big parties into something like that if become loud enough.

Other than that, likely krikdems, one of their lads was local about that I think

vote for meme parties for excellent memes.

>one of their lads was local about that I think
>vocal**

>he was a good president, like brazauskas was
sarcasm?

Fuck, I got a nice job and now I can't shitpost so often.

It isn't a nice job then, now is it?

>job that doesn't allow shitposting
not a very good job

He turned Latvia from a poor war torn country to the 10th richest in Europe, he finally made Latvians masters in their own land again, he made Latvia great.

It says potato, so I have to post this.

liberals for sure
and now that masiulis came clean with where the money really came from, it's a winning choice

Well, I guess but having nice shit and internet is good. I also can finally travel.

are there suicide nets at least?

people won't force shit, many of them are in those positions or have relatives etc, regional gov employee numbers have been rising for years despite shrinking population but no one will do anything about it
