What people don’t get is that everyone arguing for Ukraine to be sacrificed and forced to hand over large parts of its territory to Russia, is actually arguing for the spread of nuclear weapons. They are basically arguing that nuclear states get what they want.

❗️Now the whole world has seen from the actions of Israel's allies in the sky and neighboring countries, how effective unity can be in the protection against terror, if the basis of unity is sufficient political will. Israel, America, Britain, France and Jordan acted together.

In a nutshell from Phillips P. OBrien

…under the guise of de-escalation, the US is basically making the case to all states that they should try as hard as they can to develop nuclear weapons. It represents the failure of the de-escalation.

Good. He’s actually taken a big step.

The US House is enabling this

A brilliant if scary piece as always from Phillips P. OBrien . In the last year or so the world has fundamentally changed.

Sergej Sumlenny, LL.M Let me review the history in 1999. Putin launched a false flag action and killed more than 300 Russian citizens. This made Citizens angry at Chechnya, then Putin successfully launched a war again Chechnya and became the president.

That would be my bet.

1/15| The so-called elections were held in Russia and naturally Putin won them with an estimated result of 87%. But polling stations were also opened in European countries in Russian embassies. They were lined up with Russians who wanted to vote for Putin. The same thing happened

An interesting poll:

If I said ‘fuck the Pope’ could I be accused of religious intolerance? Oh well, done it now.

To be honest, this interview and the Pope's words were an unpleasant surprise.

What is their meaning?
1. Russia is stronger than Ukraine. The longer we resist, the more Ukrainians will die and that's all that can be achieved in resisting Russia.
2. So, in order to survive, you

How dopey do you have to be, to think Hitler’s secret police was called the Gazpacho!!!

Pope Francis, how about this instead: 'Putin should have the courage to withdraw his invading troops from Ukraine and abandon his genocidal imperial pursuits.' Pope Francis
