I have no words for this. It’s like Satan himself wrote it!
These are the end times, demons are the ones writing this. There’s no way this could be the opinion of someone with even a shred of common sense.
in the summer of 2014 tensions rose on the Donetsk section of the Russo Ukrainian Border while in Lugansk entire Ukrainian Borde Guard detachments defected and the border was seised without a resistance things turned out different in Donetsk
If you weren't yet convinced that Europe is stepping into its century of humiliation, that ought to do it https://t.co/WKFCkIOZek
Trump says that the US need Greenland "for national security purposes" and "for the free world", and claims that "people really don't even know if Denmark has any legal right to it" (which is 100% false).
Would he ever dare say this with regards to Chinese or Russian territory? Not in a million years. But he sees that not only is Europe weak but also in the absolutely disastrous strategic situation where it is "defended" by him! Which means that Europe is effectively trapped in a mob-style protection racket and is about to relearn the old geopolitical adage (attributed to Thucydides): "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must".
So many ironies here of course, starting with Trump's claim about protecting the "free world" through territorial annexation.
Second irony is that Europe's hysterical fixation on Russian imperialism - more phantom than reality given Russia's demonstrated capabilities - has led it to sleepwalk into the clutches of an actual empire that now casually discusses carving it up.
Last but not least, probably the bigger irony is that no-one in the whole world is going to care because of Europe's double-standards and hypocrisy in its own dealings with the rest of the world, and Gaza in particular. Since the very beginning of Gaza (and again yesterday: https://t.co/xStRfTlWhT) I wrote that the bigger meaning of Europe's response would be the death of any pretense to an global order based on international law.
And that's exactly where we are. By choosing to openly abandon even the appearance of principles Europe has essentially announced it was ok with "might makes right". A monumentally stupid thing to do when you aren't mighty yourself...
Europe's leaders (if you can call them so), in their eagerness to be "good allies" by supporting the violation of international law in Gaza, have effectively signed their own continent's permission slip for future dismemberment. They've forgotten that principles aren't just moral luxuries - they're practical shields, and once broken for others, they no longer protect you either.
Their forgetting this is especially egregious given Europe's own history. Because we've we've seen this many times before and perhaps the most salient example is the response - or absence thereof - to Mussolini's Italy invading Ethiopia in 1935, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian deaths.
Despite Ethiopia being a member of the League of Nations, the UN-ancestor meant to prevent exactly such aggression, major powers chose to protect their fellow European power rather than uphold international law. With the consequences we all know about: the death of the League of Nations as a credible institution and the clear message to other European powers that hunting season on weaker nations and peoples was officially open. Within a few months afterwards, Hitler started remilitarizing the Rhineland.
The century of humiliation that Europe is walking into has a uniquely self-inflicted quality to it, stemming from its own moral corruption and strategic myopia. Unlike China, which at least could claim to have been blindsided by European imperialism, Europe is actively participating in dismantling the very legal protections that could shield it from stronger powers. Which means it won't even have the moral authority to protest.

I popoli slavi non sono destinati a vivere una vita decente. Loro lo sanno e sbaglieremmo a convincerli del contrario.
Siamo stati noi, nel 1918, a creare i paesi baltici e l’Ucraina. Ma oggigiorno non abbiamo alcun interesse a mantenere gli Stati baltici, così come a creare un’Ucraina indipendente.
Allo stesso modo dobbiamo impedire loro di ritornare al cristianesimo. Sarebbe una colpa grave, perché significherebbe dare loro una forma di organizzazione.
Nemmeno sono un partigiano di una università a Kiev. È meglio non insegnare loro a leggere. Non ci ameranno perché li tormentiamo con le scuole.
Anche dare loro una locomotiva da guidare sarebbe un errore.
E quale stupidità sarebbe da parte nostra procedere ad una distribuzione delle terre!
Nonostante ciò, faremo in modo che gli indigeni vivano meglio di come hanno vissuto finora.
Troveremo tra loro il materiale umano indispensabile per coltivare la terra. Forniremo grano a tutti coloro che ne avranno bisogno in Europa.
La Crimea ci darà i suoi agrumi, il cotone e la gomma (basterebbero 100.000 acri di piantagioni per garantire la nostra indipendenza). Le paludi di Pripet ci forniranno di canne per il vimini.
Forniremo agli ucraini sciarpe, perle di vetro e tutto ciò che piace ai popoli coloniali.
I tedeschi – questo è essenziale – dovranno costituire tra loro una società chiusa, come una fortezza.
L'ultimo dei nostri stallieri deve essere superiore a qualsiasi indigeno.»

10 years to the “300 Cossacks” who did not submit to the fascists.
They were required to take off their St. George ribbons, kneel down and sing the Ukrainian anthem.
They sang: “Get up, huge country!”

Curioso mondo quello in cui un piccolo agricoltore è rappresentato come un avido latifondista. E il miliardario proprietario di una multinazionale come un benefattore disinteressato.
Some have asked for pics of the Revolutionary War fort we discovered inside an old plantation house in West Virginia. Almost none of the original Rev War frontier log forts survive. Historians believed an old log fort know as Byrnside’s Fort was still there, inside the walls of this large house. But…
We had to buy the property first before being able to take a crowbar to it to see if the logs were inside the walls. I was 90% sure they were there…
