You work really hard all your life to be a good person and a moral persona and fair and generous, and then you go to hell anyway (Chris Cornell)

My politics are simple: no cult leaders, no strongmen, no racial/religious scapegoats, no excuses for dictators.
Human rights. Secular democracy. Rule of law. Peaceful transfer of power.
If that bothers you, unfollow. If you out yourself in replies, mute.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

For the first time in its history, Russia cannot wage war without reinforcements from North Korea. It is now preparing to deploy an additional North Korean contingent on its territory. It has also received additional ballistic missiles from North Korea. Everyone around the world must understand what this means.

This is not only about the lives of people in Ukraine, and not only about the threats we face. North Korea’s ballistic missiles and other weapons are being improved through its collaboration with Russia. The more North Korean strikes there are here in Ukraine, in Europe, the more their missiles and soldiers are used, the more they correct their shortcomings and blind spots, the greater the danger will later be for Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Philippines, and other countries in the region.

That is why, when we speak about the need for joint action, for coordination and mutual support, when we speak about the need to help us strengthen our air defense, we are also, in fact, speaking about taking away North Korea’s appetite and any interest in coming here – to our land and into our skies – with its weapons in order to learn how to wage war. Everyone across the globe who respects human life must stand together in taking action to protect people.

From the evening address.

Niall Ferguson, Historian: What we’re seeing now is that global authoritarian axis has formed — Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea.

This axis is essentially Chinese-led because China is by far the largest player. China has been crucial to Putin’s war in Ukraine.

It would've been very hard for Putin to sustain war effort without very large flows of dual-use goods into Russian economy from China.

Russians got Shahed drone design from Iranians, then adapted it in order to fire them at Ukrainians.

Russians have certainly been sharing technology with Iran. Iranian missile program is essentially a Chinese operation.

All the inputs for Iranian missiles are coming from China. So this is a global authoritarian axis.

They’re ideologically very different, but they have a common interest, which is in undermining international order.

Sean Penn: Putin is a criminal who, by the way, is in an act of war against you, me, and every Republican, this whole country. It’s active cyberwar and misinformation war, and it’s winning hearts and minds in lot of places, including in US, because we roll over as a country now.

[Korina Graf @GrafKorina]

Nordkorea schickt 50.000 Soldaten nach Russland.
So geht Pjöngjang mit seinen Menschen um: als wären sie Material für Putins Krieg.

Und wir?
Wir schauen zu, wie die Ukraine auch damit noch irgendwie zurechtkommen soll.

Wie viele Armeen soll dieses Land eigentlich noch allein aufhalten?

Stalin: Comrade Putin, why did you invade Ukraine?

Putin: Because Ukraine doesn’t exist.

Stalin: Really?

Putin: Lenin invented it.

Stalin: So you invaded a country that doesn’t exist?

Putin: Russians and Ukrainians are one people.

Stalin: So Ukrainians don’t exist?

Putin: Correct.

Stalin: Who lives in Ukraine, then?

Putin: Russians.

Stalin: So why did you invade Russians?

Putin: To denazify Ukraine.

Stalin: Denazify whom?

Putin: Ukrainians.

Stalin: The Ukrainians who don’t exist?

Putin: We were protecting Russian speakers.

Stalin: From whom?

Putin: Nazis.

Stalin: But you said everyone there is Russian. So the Nazis are Russians too?

Putin: …

Stalin: Fine. Who has Russia been fighting all these years?

Putin: NATO.

Stalin: Is Ukraine in NATO?

Putin: No.

Stalin: Then how are you fighting NATO?

Putin: NATO fights us through Ukrainians.

Stalin: The Ukrainians who don’t exist?

(Long silence.)

Stalin: Even I couldn’t have come up with this.

Zelenskyy: Had we received licenses for Patriot 4 years ago, Ukraine would already be producing Patriots for everyone.

Instead, we are still dealing with paperwork while real missiles are flying and killing people.

¡Dejen de estar fomentando las superchería con esta bazofia de artículo!
Si la chamuca fuera una "bruja poderosa" saldría a la calle sin escoltas. Es fácil tener "poder sobrenatural" cuando se tiene a un ejército de piricuacos a su servicio para asesinar cuando les den la orden.

I can’t stop laughing at Trump’s new wig. Or whatever the F$&k that creature on his head is.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

The call is coming from inside the White House, @JDVance.

Trump is awarding contracts to family-connected companies, charging Secret Service agents to stay overnight at his properties, and making billions off his office.

The Trump Administration's corruption is off the charts.

Your government is broken. You can't impeach him because he owns all three branches of government. We literally warned everyone about this shit. It will take decades to recover from Trump and MAGA.

@RevDikaiosune Sí, he visto las dos series de televisión y la que más me gustó fue la de 2004. También leí el libro.
