I am firmly against this for a number of reasons. 
 

First, the Cyrillic alphabet is objectively better suited for most Slavic languages (it was designed for them, after all). Take a look at the clunky consonant combinations of Polish or multiple odd diacritical marks in Czech which are elegantly solved with one letter in a Cyrillic alphabet. 
 

Second, Kazakh is a horse of a different color. Kazakh is a Turkic language written in a borrowed Arabic script for centuries until the Soviets imposed a Cyrillic reform. A move to the Latin script is in line with what their Turkish linguistic cousins did, and Cyrillic was never a pillar of literary or written Kazakh. And it doesn’t really signal integration with the West; Kazakhstan remains firmly authoritarian and balanced between China, Russia, Turkey with a wary eye to the Muslim world and an transactional approach to the far-away “West.”

Most importantly, Cyrillic belongs as much to Ukraine, if not more so, than to the Russians. Ukrainian has never known another alphabet.  The language grew organically from Old East Slavonic to Ruthenian, to Ukrainian and the alphabet with it. It’s use in literature and holy texts and images— whether in the Eastern Rite Church (where the Slavonic liturgy was a hard won and jealously guarded compromise with Rome) or in Orthodoxy (which has deeper roots in Kyiv than Moscow).  Ukraine had a right to this heritage. It’s theirs, it’s not Russia, and they can belong to the community of Western ideas and still be Ukrainian. That’s the whole idea.

That's ridiculous.  We're just going to kill them.  After all, we don't put rats in zoos; we just exterminate them.

Cyrillic alphabet talk not going away.

Now if we could just quit imposing those Arabic numerals on our innocent children.

Been a huge fan of Cyrillic before it became cool. You can check my posts from years back. It's all there.

I would like to see all communication in the Acrylic alphabet from now on....

Man, how far Russia has fallen such that weapon shipments from fucking Iran would result in a substantial boost for it. That's just embarrassing. 

#47628

if Russia is allowed to import 1,000 long range cruise missiles from Iran to use against Ukraine, the gloves are fucking off. We need to allow Ukraine to import other countries higher end cruise missiles.

and tell Russia they are allowed to target any fucking place they want with a military value, albeit a base, a dam, bridges, highways, whatever.   Avoid going after civvies and blast away.

I would watch Russian state TV if we had real-time translation.  It’s off the rails.  I can’t tell if they are trying to be funny or not, but they think they are better than us because….they have more modest gay parades.  Also wonder if that’s a potshot at the guy talking about draining Ukrainian kids.

Speaking of the Russian TV host who wanted to drown Ukrainian children, Roman did a deep dive on him, and how his background is fascinating and utterly insane and he went from anti-Putin to anti-Ukraine, etc..  It’s a good listen.  I would hang out with Roman in a bar for an evening.

"investigation of the explosions on the ships of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol"

Hey, I can help you with that, putin.  It was Ukrainians that did it.

It’s a joke, and a tongue in cheek acknowledgment that Russias pop music complex is incredibly gay. It’s gayer than eight guys fucking nine guys (NTTAWWT). 
 

But! While it’s super gay to the point of over the top camp, it’s also extremely limited. It’s Liberace era, confirmed bachelor gay. All these extremely gay pop music stars can be flamboyant as they want to be, flounce around the stage, squeal, wink at innuendo— what they can’t be is an openly gay person in a real relationship with another person.  The audience can’t believe they are humans, who are gay, which is important but not the only think about them. Only caricature allowed. “Modesty.”

So basically the rest of the world prior to the 30s and 40s?
