@latiniano@portnikov Вау, экстремалы собрались. Это на "петины деньги" Портников обычно так аккуратно и полит-корректно критикует владу? И другую ве��ь я тоже не пойму никак, что всех так трясёт от "пети" и его "воровских" денег? Или после войны команду Зеленского так же будут поносить за их деньги?
@d_foubert Thank you for the insights. I usually speak to other kind of Poles, but it's good to know you have a diversity of opinions, and are passed not only with Ukraine, but with EU too. Maybe I should ask what you think of Germany and Germans. Just for my information🙂
@d_foubert Poland scrambled fighter jets to shoot russian drones and didn't shoot a single one. Imagine 400 loaded drones come + some ballistics. Also, "cutting logistics", are you saying Poles are now putin's buddies? Why this blackmail language? Imagine EU cuts Poland's funding.
@KazimierzHelon@d_foubert Are you saying it'll be ok if 400 drones attack Warsaw? It'll as devastating as it is for Kyiv. Good for Poland drones did first fly into Ukraine, and Ukrainians had to learn how to stop them. Also, good for Poland you have so much cheaper workers now and they're all Europeans
@KazimierzHelon@d_foubert Yes, I am sure you could do without EU investment. You probably like hearing from Ukrainians that they didn't even need your €4B aid? You'd do so much better without EU regulations too, but we also know that Brexit talk, and all Brexit caused was shrinking of the UK economy
@d_foubert Wow, looks like I did touch a nerve. Why are you all so pissed with Ukraine and Ukrainians? Tired of the war? Half of you mentioned NATO protection. How will that work exactly? More jets to chase shaheds?
I step into a cafe where I work some mornings. Hadn’t read the news yet. The barista is Ukrainian. My friendly ‘morning!’ is met with a weak smile. I know what it means.
‘What happened?’
‘Pechersk Lavra is burning.’
Imagine waking every morning to the dread of finding out who Russia has killed, what Russia has destroyed in the night. Every day, for over four years.
I’ll say here what I said to her: this is Russia losing. Blind rage and destruction because they have no viable strategy, no path to victory. It doesn’t make this any better, it doesn’t bring lost loved ones or national treasures back. But it is true. Fascist Russia will destroy itself. And Ukraine will survive, will win, will rebuild. You are not alone.
@pepel_klaasa@Kasparov63 More than 1M joined the army to kill Ukrainians. No surprise thousands found it was ok to move to Mariupol. Nothing changed in 500 years, and never will
@SectionedHaven@IAPonomarenko US is basically abandoning Europe. Russia is pressing. Ukraine is Europe's only line of defence. Betting that this will continue indefinitely is of course dangerous, but it's so much cheaper to support Ukraine than to build Europe's own defence. By now Europe's worked this out
@McFaul Oil-rich Iran is like soviet union, one system collapses, another emerges. USSR collapsed mostly bc there was no proper inheritance of power and no full-scale oil trade. Iran is the opposite. It'll hold, will never be democratic, and will be more aggressive in its retaliaton.
