I support the sovereignty of Greenland and a close alliance between the U.S., Greenland and Denmark as members of NATO. The President’s foolish comments towards a NATO ally has seriously undermined America’s credibilty in Europe. This is not a board game. https://t.co/RoPdMKeEo9

Then you CAN’T support Trump

He hates and opposes all of those principles

Which of course makes you a sellout

You don’t really care about these ideas.

You worship the leftist Trump.

⚖️ Moscow Court Labels Bandera and Shukhevych "Nazi Collaborators"

The Tverskoy District Court of Moscow granted the claim of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation and recognized Stepan Bandera, Roman Shukhevych, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) as "collaborators of Nazi Germany" in crimes against Soviet citizens during World War II. From the perspective of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office, they allegedly participated in terror, punitive operations, and mass killings. Among other things, the Russian agency mentioned the Lviv pogrom, the Babyn Yar tragedy, Khatyn, the Volhynia tragedy, as well as crimes against Jews, partisans, and residents of Belarus.

This is how, by ignoring history and facts, you can declare anything you want, even though the "Nazi" Bandera was sentenced to death by the Nazis for refusing to cooperate—a sentence commuted to life imprisonment in concentration camps due to his high political influence—and his family was destroyed by the Nazis. The "Nazi" Roman Shukhevych, with the UPA army, fought hundreds of battles against the Nazis, sheltered Jews, and provided them with forged documents. Meanwhile, Russia—which was an ally of the Nazis, marched in joint parades before starting a feud over disagreements regarding the division of European territories, killed more people than the Nazis, avoided punishment, and is now continuing to commit crimes even more brutal than the Nazis—considers its criminal actions a righteous cause. Hypocrites. However, they have removed the mask from their own accomplices, demonstrating who those who call Ukrainian heroes Nazis truly are. Now they won't be able to wash this stain off.

The real reason for this convulsive hatred of the Kremlin is that Bandera and Shukhevych are symbols of uncompromising resistance to any imperial totalitarian system — both Nazi and Soviet. Only those who do not want to see Ukraine as an independent country can condemn the Ukrainian liberation movement, and if you talk to those who call Bandera and Shukhevych Nazis, you will see that they hate Ukraine in general. For them, as for Russia, any desire for freedom is automatically branded as a “crime.” This is the final moral self-condemnation of the Russian system, which is no longer able to hide its own fascist insides behind false historical myths.

🍦 Russians Destroyed Ice Cream Stockpiles in Ukraine

Russians destroyed the stockpiles of one of the tastiest ice creams in Ukraine. A very military target indeed...

The destruction of civilian warehouses and food industry enterprises is yet another proof that Russia is waging a war against life itself in Ukraine. They will strike everything that creates normality, brings joy, or secures the basic needs of the civilian population. This reveals the total impotence of their military machine, which is capable only of fighting civilian infrastructure and ice cream warehouses

[Devana 🇺🇦 @DevanaUkraine]

🏚️ What terrifies most right now is that when the war ends, everything Russian will flood back into Ukraine—the Russian language, Russian music, Russian TV series, propaganda, and Russian-aligned politicians. This terrifies me, and I am certain it will happen, because unfortunately, there is no reason to think otherwise. Russia is winning inside Ukraine, and this is profoundly sad. It is so tragic that many Ukrainians no longer see a future for themselves in Ukraine.

[Johanna Nyman @JohannaNyman5]

I often hear: “You’re an idiot for standing with Ukraine.”

No. Supporting Ukraine is not a threat to us — it is an investment in our own security.

My grandfather fought the Soviets when they launched their illegal war of aggression against Finland.

He would have condemned Russia’s invasion with words X would probably censor.

There is a reason Finland stands firmly with Ukraine: we know Moscow. We know what happens when aggression goes unanswered.

Of course, we see every leader and every country that responds to Russia’s strikes on Ukraine. But the only strong and just response – the one that truly achieves its goal and helps people – is additional support for our state. The world has Patriot missiles. What matters now is for our partners to make the political decision to provide the necessary packages. The United States knows what we need. Europe knows what we need. Anti-ballistic missiles must protect people – not sit in stockpiles. And every day without this vital assistance gives Russia another chance to kill our people.

And right now, the response must also include additional and real sanctions. Every legal entity, every individual helping enterprises in Russia produce ballistic weapons – launchers and missiles – or supplying components and everything else they need – must all be sanctioned, not only by us, but by our partners as well. There are still gaps in the G7 jurisdictions. The fuel sector – everything helping Russia restore its oil refining capacity right now – must absolutely be stopped.

🌙 Nightfall, the Shadow Self, and the Void of the Human Condition

Night crept in silently and seized the city, chasing the day off to the other hemisphere of the Earth. Replacing the scorching sun, a cool breeze arrived, running between the trees, swaying their branches, and, like a little hooligan, running up to girls and lifting their skirts. I walked slowly, basking in the darkness of the night that hides all the evil brought to light during the day. I was pleased by the streetlamps on the posts, the headlights on cars, and the illuminated shopfronts. It created a somewhat festive, romantic mood, even though there was no reason to celebrate. Scumbags, as always, ruin the lives of everyone around them, choking on the marasmus of their own greed.

A girl ran past me. I used to run once too, before apathy and depression poisoned everything I loved. Now, if I run, it’s only from myself—but can I really escape? How many people run away, put on masks, and play roles, yet can never rid themselves of who they are? So is there any point in running from yourself? If people perceive me as a serious analyst writing about Ukraine’s problems—writing not for the money, but because it genuinely hurts me—and yet I have another side where I sing rock and rap in an aggressive style, where I pour my filthy erotic fantasies into stories in the dark romance genre, where I love playing video games and I play them damn well... is there any point in hiding this side of me just because narrow-minded people consider it unworthy of my other side? Well, sure, I’m a long way off from the private islands where politicians go to party, and without a criminal record, it’s hard to become president. We aren’t worthy of those heights—or, to be precise, those depths. Is it worth lowering myself just to be understood by them?

Walking alone through the night park, I soaked in the silence. Maybe I look like a potential victim, but isn't a trap most effective when using the right bait? It’s hard to scare someone who feels no fear. It’s hard to fool someone who knows more than you do. It’s hard to convince someone who possesses a conviction. I sat down on a bench. The cold wood touched my thighs, and I wouldn’t have been surprised if smoke had started rising—after all, that is how steel is tempered. "Fire does not burn the fierce"—a well-known phrase in Ukraine. They say Remarque said, "In dark times, the bright people shine clearest." But is it worth being that fire, that light shining in the dark? Maybe this fire isn't needed by anyone anymore? Maybe Prometheus was crucified by humans, and they repeated it with Jesus for the exact same reason? Maybe that's why all great minds are hounded first, and murdered later? Remember Socrates' "Apology," remember all the world's executions of prominent figures. Remember how Hitler shot himself. Just kidding 😊 Yeah, I have a twisted sense of humor, giving people yet another reason to throw a stone at me. Anyone looking for an excuse will always find one to justify what they do.

I lie down on the bench, knees bent, resting my sneakers against its wooden seat. I'm used to not taking up space in the world, but right now it’s just me and space, so fuck off. Yeah, I know I'm doing something wrong by dirtying the bench, but it rains often in Lviv—the rain cleans everything itself. If only it could wash people's souls, that would be truly ideal. I’d sleep right here, but I’m afraid the police wouldn't appreciate the philosophy of my romanticism. I was always anti-system anyway, and I know damn well that good people don't go to work in the police. There are exceptions, as everywhere, but they are too few to speak for the whole. Where did all the serial killers go when they are so desperately needed?

Disappointed, I walk out of the park past the closed shops that I rarely visit lately. In my attempts to write interesting articles, I attract fewer and fewer people, and my analytics, my creativity, and my life are falling into the exact same void as my thoughts, heard only by the few—the few thanks to whom voices like mine even exist. If not for them, I wouldn't exist either. I simply wouldn't live, because my entire income depends on my thoughts—or rather, on the people who exchange my thoughts for their support, allowing me to survive in this filthy, hollow world where there are so many creatures and so few human beings. What is a thought worth in a world where hardly anyone thinks? Where people find reflection boring, and alcohol and mindless fun cool? This world is doomed, but aren't we destined to take it over once everyone around us goes completely brain-dead? It seems only this thought warms my heart—that, and the fire from a burning Moscow, if only in my imagination.

I walk up the stairs, ignoring the elevator. When you don't have the funds to train, you have to replace workouts with everyday effort. Besides, stairs build a great ass, which simply has to be big—because for a lifestyle like mine, I'll be punished more than once. Caring for my executioners, I have to make sure they don't miss, and that the punishment becomes as much of a pleasure for them as it is for me. So, do you believe I'm a psycho now? 😊 A turn of the key in the lock, and I'm home. As always, I'm too lazy to undress. I drop straight onto the floor. I want to write some interesting piece to get new subscribers, but nothing comes to mind—just perverted nonsense. Oh well. Not today, again. I’ll just sleep right here until tomorrow. Goodnight 😉

The fact that so many European countries still allow Russian tourists is immoral and disgraceful. It makes the West’s rhetoric on Russia ring hollow.

The spread of socialism in the U.S. will lead to the rise of fascism as a counter-movement, which is exactly how it first rose.

None of us want to be stuck between these monstrous extremes.

This can only be prevented by the Democratic Party taking the left back from the fringe.

🏴‍☠️ The Strategic Collapse: The Imperial Myth Shattered

Russia has lost the war, if only because for decades—if not centuries—it convinced the entire civilized and uncivilized world that Ukraine was their territory, that Russia originates from the state of Rus by appealing to the name, and that they have the right to occupy all states that were once part of the Russian Empire or the USSR with impunity. It carried out anti-Ukrainian propaganda even inside Ukraine, claiming that Ukrainian heroes were Nazis, that the Ukrainian language was merely a Polish dialect and an uncultured village tongue... Colossal funds were poured into this, and immense effort was expended over all these years. And with a single war, they completely destroyed everything they built—the world learned the true history as the curtain fell to reveal what was behind the scenes, and people living under Russian propaganda saw what Russia truly is.
