Zero tolerance for apologists of Russian colonialism/genocide in Ukraine, PAST OR PRESENT. Act like a moskal, get treated like one. Russophobia is justified.
#Mariupol. We stood by while this happened. 114,000+ dead. 1000 people died a day while Russia locked the doors and erased these lives. “It’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate.” -Jocko Willink US Navy SEAL (ret)
@Pete___Hughes@RaymondLee3192@BlueJays He’s not tipping his pitches, but his sequencing is pretty easy to predict. Slider/curve below the knees. His command can be sloppy, leaving stiff middle low and/or away, right in most heat zones
Right idea, wrong execution! Russians who participated in the war are not vacationing in Europe, they're dead by done or held captive by their own troops on the front lines. Europe should be blocking the oligarchs and their families and say, "You can't enable the war and still send your wives and children to play in Europe.
Every day I push back on the lie that Israelis are cruel. That we have no decent people. That we’re the villains the anti-Israel crowd says we are.
Then you open your mouth, Ben Gvir, and prove them right.
The flotilla are useful idiots. You’re the gift they prayed for. You don’t deserve to be in this government or any government. Actually, I wouldn’t trust you to wash my car.
Two Sisters. Twelve and Seventeen. Buried Together in Kyiv Today.
Liubava was 12. Vira was 17. This morning they were laid to rest side by side in Kyiv, killed along with 22 others when a Russian missile struck the residential building where they lived.
Their father, Yevhen Yakovlev, was killed in combat in 2023 defending Ukraine. He never came home. Now their mother has lost her husband, her daughters, and her home.
One family. Completely gone.
When we talk about missile strikes on residential buildings, we are talking about this. Not infrastructure. Not statistics. Families. Children who had names, ages, futures. A mother who now has none of them.
Russia does not accidentally hit apartment buildings. It targets them.
Remember Liubava and Vira.
@_Mike_Save@ChurchillFella That’s a Finnish or Lithuanian proverb I believe. They’ve been saying that for nearly 100 years.
The Finns say nothing good comes from across the eastern border
A tour bus carrying 40 children pulled into a petrol station near Dnipro on the morning of 3 May. The kids stepped off to use the toilet. So did the driver.
Then the Russian drone arrived.
"It was around 8 a.m. They had only just gotten out, and the drone was flying in. We thought it would pass over us. My partner said: hide. I didn't make it... The bus was pierced right through. I flew three meters through the air," the driver, Serhii, told Suspilne.
The 40 children — on their way to a holiday in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast — survived because they had stepped off the bus 30 seconds earlier. Six people were wounded, including a 10-year-old boy and a pregnant 21-year-old woman. The kids continued their trip on a replacement bus.
The strike came after Russia launched 268 drones and a ballistic missile at Ukraine overnight, killing eight civilians and wounding more than 80 across seven oblasts.

This goes out to American goose hunters coming to Saskatchewan! If this is what you are going to do with your birds, you can stay south of the border!! Pretty sad!
I spoke to people who still have families in Donbas. There's no running water & barely anything to eat. Cholera, dysentery & tuberculosis are rife. 🇷🇺 occupiers keep settling their zombified scum in the flats of russian speaking Ukrainians they've murdered. Donetsk that was home to EURO 2012 under 🇺🇦 "regime" now reminds the most abandoned parts of Africa under 🇷🇺 "new found prosperity". We ought to celebrate every May 2nd and thank our 🇺🇦Patriots for helping prevent the same fate to the beautiful city of Odesa.
This is why.
When some russian in a hotel asks me why I do not want to talk to him, when some European asks me why I am not "tolerant" – the answer is in this photo.
There are thousands of such kids in Ukraine whose parents were killed simply because russians followed their crazy tsar instead of stopping him.
The russian army is 2.4 million. Most of them have been to Ukraine. The police is about 1 million. There are also smaller forces – FSB (200 thousand), National Guard (340 thousand) and others. So we are already at more than four million people involved.
And then count those who work as subcontractors for the army. Those who work in weapons factories. Count the government and everyone working for it. You get every 10th adult russian working for the war. 30% of russia's budget is spent on it.
This is not "Putin's war," this is "every russian's war."
So when I meet a russian man in some hotel, I know there is a 10% chance he is directly involved. And the remaining 90% support it –
by action or inaction.
So how should I treat them?
If he wants a conversation, he should start by asking for forgiveness and condemning their army and their regime. In all other cases, I won't even talk to such a person.
