Alla fine, ricorderemo non le parole dei nostri nemici ma il silenzio dei nostri amici”. Martin L. King, 1968 #liberal-democratica sogno #UE populismi-free.
They forced me into hijab at age 6 and forced me to wear it for the next 25 years till I left. They told me my whole life I’d go to hell and burn for an eternity if a man sees my hair and lusts after me even though I was a little girl. They told me I was worth half a man my whole life; I’d inherit half, my witness in court is half, my blood money is half, I’m half-brained. They told me if I dishonour my family, my father or grandfather or uncle or any man in my family would kill me to restore the family honour with no consequences to them whatsoever. They told me my father is my male guardian and gets to decide if I get an education or a job or even a lifesaving surgery. When I got married to a Muslim man, they told me now he was my male guardian and would get to make those decisions for me. They told me if I ever give birth to my own children, he would own them forever like my dad owned me. They told me I couldn’t divorce him even if he beat me to death or married 3 other women simultaneously. They’d chase me around and arrest me if my hijab wasn’t proper enough for decades. They imprisoned my uncle in solitary confinement for having unIslamic ideas. They told me they’d imprison me if I’d had unIslamic ideas. They murdered thousands upon thousands upon thousands people like me who had unIslamic ideas. They still tell me I was never a real Muslim and am not a real exMuslim now. They still call me a whore/ slut/ jendeh/ fahisha/ majoosi/ prostitute for speaking about my own experiences. They send me death threats quite frequently. They stalk me, harass me, threaten me, insult me (and my parents) to silence me.
Do you get the picture or do you want me to go on. Because I can go on.
Non proprio, direi. La definizione più corretta per Blumenthal è quella di democratico liberal, progressista sui diritti e sulle politiche sociali, fortemente atlantista in politica estera.
Pochissimo sovrapponibile purtroppo alla sinistra nostrana.
When Putin seized Crimea, both Europe and America were quite openly making calls, holding meetings, and sending signals to the Ukrainians who were in power at the time that there should be no escalation – let's just keep things friendly and leave things as they are for now. And we lost Crimea. After that, we lost part of Donbas. But the shooting in the east continued. There was no peace.
People think we were always helped. That is not true. Help started coming after the full-scale invasion, but that was after eight years of Russia occupying our territory. That is a long time to figure things out and understand that Putin has no intention of giving anything back to us.
At one point, some Europeans asked me: “Why do you think that if you withdraw from Donbas, he will go further?” And I answered: “Because at the beginning of the war, he wasn't seizing Donbas. He came to the capital. He seized parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, Kherson itself, and Kharkiv region.” We have retaken a lot of territory, but he had seized different parts of our country. And now they want us to give them something because they are unable to seize it. We may have a smaller territory, less money, and fewer weapons, but we still have more dignity than many others. We will do everything we can to end this war, but it must end in a way that preserves our dignity.

Rozwiązanie konfliktu jest proste i możliwe bez zmian w Konstytucji. Prezydent uznaje legalnie wybranych przez Sejm sędziów, bo tak stanowi Konstytucja, a oni podejmują swoje obowiązki w Trybunale. Póki co, @NawrockiKn wybiera siłową konfrontację, która może bardzo wiele Polskę kosztować. Demokratyczne państwo prawa nie może ustąpić przed przemocą, niezależnie od tego, jak potężne zewnętrzne siły wspierać będą atak PiS, Konfederacji, Brauna i Nawrockiego. I nie ustąpi.
