Everyone keeps talking about Russia invading Ukraine like it came out of nowhere.
It didn't.
Russia told the West for 30 years exactly what would happen if NATO expanded to Ukraine. Every Russian leader since Gorbachev said the same thing. Different presidents, same message: NATO in Ukraine is a red line.
1990s: "Don't expand NATO east."
2000s: "NATO expansion threatens our security."
2008: "Ukraine joining NATO means war."
2014: "We will protect Russian speakers in Ukraine."
2021: "Stop sending weapons and building NATO bases."
The warnings were public. On record. In speeches, interviews, diplomatic meetings. This wasn't hidden. This wasn't subtle.
The West ignored every single one.
NATO expanded anyway. First Poland and Hungary. Then the Baltics. Then talk of Ukraine and Georgia. Each time, Russia protested. Each time, the West pushed forward.
February 2022 didn't surprise anyone who was paying attention.
Russia said this would happen. The West called it bluffing. Then acted shocked when Russia followed through.
Here's what gives it away: the timing.
America left Afghanistan in August 2021. After 20 years, suddenly they needed out immediately. Left billions in equipment. Pulled out so fast it was chaotic.
Six months later, Russia invades Ukraine.
That's not coincidence. That's preparation. The US knew what was coming. They knew they couldn't handle two major conflicts at once. So they ended one to focus on the other.
I'm not a professional analyst. I'm just a Serbian who watches patterns. And even I knew Russia would respond when the line got crossed.
You're telling me NATO intelligence didn't see this coming? You're telling me the CIA was surprised?
They knew. They've always known.
The question isn't why Russia invaded. The question is why the West pushed them to do it.
Ah yes, Finland, the "neutral bystander" of WWII. Just standing there, totally uninvolved, while Leningrad starved. Cute story. Too bad it's pure fiction.
Finnish troops sat on Leningrad's doorstep for three years, and they weren't sipping coffee. They held one-third of the blockade line. Without Finland, the Germans couldn't have fully closed the ring that starved 1.5 million people to death, including 400,000 children.
On June 25, 1941, Mannerheim ordered the Finnish Army into the war against the USSR:
"I call you to a holy war against the enemy of our nation. Together with the mighty armed forces of Germany, as brothers-in-arms, we resolutely set out on a crusade against the enemy to secure a reliable future for Finland."
And the crusade came with a map. On the "Greater Finland" plan you'll find Murmansk, Leningrad and Kandalaksha marked as Finnish 👇
Islamic History Expert on Why Islam Spread So Fast
"The genius of Muhammad is that he basically created a religion that catered to man's most primordial desires and lusts. All you have to do is say a few words, now you can be a pirate and a plunderer. You can go fight, you can go kill, you can r*pe, you can enslave, and you can get rich."
"And if you die, you get the same stuff in heaven, because you go straight to heaven. The greatest martyr is the one who dies in jihad, and he goes to heaven where he has nonstop sex with supernatural women known as houris. This is all in the Quran, this is Islamic doctrine."
Дорогие мои "антивоенные" осуждатели Израиля, скажите-ка вот что.
Вас интересует война в Йемене? Не внешние удары хуситов, а сама война внутри Йемена. Там не менее 100 тысяч погибло, война уже 12 лет идёт.
А интересует ли вас война исламистов с правительством в Нигерии? Там исламисты намеренно атакуют именно мирных людей, каждый год убивая их тысячами.
Может, вас интересует война в Судане? Там сотни тысяч убитых, миллионы беженцев, там голод и эпидемии.
Интересна ли вам война в Сахеле (Чад, Нигер, Мали)? Пятнадцатый год там война, охватившая сразу несколько стран.
Или вас интересует война в Сомали? Она там идёт 45 лет, дольше, чем многие из вас на свете живут. Там тоже сотни тысяч убиты и миллионы беженцев.
Ну ладно, прекращайте уже судорожно гуглить то, о чём большинство из вас и не слышало никогда. Большинство из вас названных стран на карте не найдёт.
Неинтересно вам это.
Вы всем этим войнам, вместе взятым, не уделяете и тысячной доли того внимания, какое уделяете войне в Газе.
Вы никакие не антивоенные, дорогие мои осуждатели Израиля.
Вы не войны ненавидите, вы Израиль и евреев ненавидите.
@mattvanswol Personally, I think the police did a great job! Ideally, though, he and his parents should have been taken to court. I think the police saved the kid's life. Laws exist for a reason.
Google "kids dirt bike crash" and delete your post. You're being superficial.
🚨 Two years ago, I was detained in Paris by police for 3 days — the longest they can hold someone before charging them.
In an unprecedented move, French authorities accused the head of a major platform of crimes committed by its users.
That investigation is still ongoing, although it makes less sense with each passing year.
Why?
Because we now have extensive evidence that Telegram was neither worse than other popular platforms at moderation, nor the worst at cooperating with authorities.
So why was Telegram singled out?
Over the last two years, we have seen a pattern emerge in multiple countries: Telegram is quietly asked to grant political favors — such as illegal censorship or surveillance. When we refuse, local media and “non-governmental” organizations launch orchestrated campaigns portraying Telegram as a cesspool of crime, from child pornography to terrorism.
Our moderation is no worse than that of other major platforms. Yet these campaigns instill the idea that Telegram should be persecuted or restricted.
Suddenly, officials start caring about crime and protecting children — but only on platforms that reject their secret political demands. Platforms that accept such deals get away with almost anything — including literally selling ads promoting child pornography.
Is the French investigation against me political? It certainly fits the pattern we see elsewhere, mostly in authoritarian countries. And it definitely raises questions.
In time, this investigation may itself be investigated — especially now that Macron’s war against free speech is facing pushback. This month, France’s Constitutional Council struck down his social media ban for children under 15 on freedom-of-expression grounds.
In the end, freedom and truth will prevail ✊
1. הטיול היה צריך להיות מתואם.
2. הרבש"ץ לא היה צריך להוריד את הרצועה של הנשק.
3. אבל הפיגוע הזה קרה רק בגלל שהחיילים, אנשי כוחות הבטחון והרבש"צים פוחדים להשתמש בנשק.
4. אין מצב שמחבלים יגיעו לטווח אפס מול יהודים ויתקפו אותם. ויחטפו להם נשק.
5. הפסביות והפחד לירות מאימת מערכת המשפט היא שרצחה היום יהודים.
6. הכניסה של אלאור אזריה לכלא היא שרצחה היום יהודים.
7. האנשים שרודפים את הלוחמים שמשתמשים בנשק - הדם על הידיים שלהם.
Antisemites refuse to watch this video of Arnold Schwarzenegger telling his own family story and speaking about his Nazi father.
They refuse to deal with the reality that the path they are taking leads to.
Tucker Carlson's pure hatred for the Jews has made him lose all credibility.
It's truly sad what's happened to his once powerful voice in the Conservative movement.
