Dear citizens, dear hockey fans,

 The new season of the NHL will start tomorrow in Prague.

Which, as a person for whom human lives are the first place on the imaginary scale of values, I cannot remain indifferent. Unfortunately, I have to state that this will be the third season when the @NHL will once again be a huge advertisement for the Russian imperialist war and other Russian crimes, including the genocide of Ukrainian children.

The NHL will once again be responsible for a large number of lost and maimed human lives! The fact that two teams without Russian players came to Prague this time does not change anything. This is not a mitigating circumstance from my perspective.

The NHL has not changed its position at all since the beginning of the war, and Russian citizens can still play in it.

And why do I openly oppose it ?And why do I speak out against this openly?

In this context, I must reiterate the most important point. After the start of the Russian imperialist war, the NHL became an advertisement for this war, because Russian citizens continued to perform and play in it! Every citizen, unless he is a dissident, is an advertisement for his country's actions.

In the case of Russia, those actions since February 2022 are imperialist war and other horrific crimes against humanity. Whenever and wherever Russian athletes publicly perform, they automatically become an advertisement for the war and the further killing of innocent Ukrainian citizens.
The NHL is well aware of this and still lets them continue to publicly participate in its league! That is why the NHL became and still is an advertisement for the Russian imperialist war.
Therefore, the NHL is directly responsible for a huge number of lives lost and maimed.

As a citizen and as a player who has played a lot of games in the NHL, I am not going to overlook this. I am convinced that sooner or later the NHL will have to pay billions of dollars to Ukraine for its  approach.

In this context, however, it should be emphasized that the regular employees of the NHL, i.e. the players themselves, are not responsible for this advertisement of the terrible Russian actions. And that includes the Russian ones also. All responsibility rests with the top leadership of the NHL! That means 32 individual NHL team owners and Commissioner Gary Bettman.

They are the ones who set the rules. And they can change them at any time. These are the people who made the NHL, the competition that meant so much to me, the biggest advertisement for the Russian imperialist war in the entire sports world! It is they who bear the greatest responsibility for the lives lost and maimed and for the enormous financial damage caused by the advertisement of their league.

I have always loved and still love hockey. But at the same time I know there are more important things. Nothing is more valuable than human life. Therefore, I consider it my duty to inform @NHL fans about what I have already described. That the league is an advertisement for war! And because of it, many lives have been and will be lost and maimed.
 It may sound harsh, but that's the reality.

So I want to say to all NHL fans that whenever Pastrnak, Draisaitl, Matthews or Laine score a goal, McDavid, Kucherov, Crosby or Dahlin make a pass for a goal, goalkeepers Vasilevskiy, Bobrovsky, Hellebuyck or Saros make a famous save, Gudas or Tkachuk make a nice hit, so it is a beautiful viewing experience, but at the same time it is an even bigger advertisement for the atrocities committed by the Russians in the war!

So, this spectator experience unfortunately costs human lives. These are the lives of people who are far away from you, you don't know them, but they are heroes who fight and die in defense of their homeland. And what is even worse, it is also the lives of innocent civilians and Ukrainian children that Russia, led by Putin, has decided to take not only their country, but their lives as well... (continue)

The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games is taking place right now. Beautiful and successful.
Only one thing is missing: the 487 Ukrainian athletes who were tortured, raped, and murdered, during the russian invasion war.
I want to honor their sacrifices today and pay my respects.

@androns Man pat ar visu to, ka ielas gaisma gandrīz pie mājas stūra, iegrieza tādas krāsas, ka maz neliekas. Jāsāk domāt, vai tik nevajag aizbraukt līdz Burtniekam. Tas mūsu galā laikam top spots šādām spēlēm

@Maarcis_S Man kā reiz futbola kontekstā tas jautājums radās, paldies. Tīri teorētiski sanāk ja atrodas rubļi, tad lielo vietējo basketbolu varētu atvest arī uz Aloju. Tas gan būtu spēkā ja tikai halles arhitekts nebūtu bijis tālu no sporta, diemžēl.

We, indeed, should make sure we're worth this great story of frantic resistance for the sake of all that is good about this world.
Glory to Ukraine!

A country that beheads enemy soldiers has no place in the Olympics. A country that rapes and tortures soldiers and civilians has no place in the Olympics. A country that is led by an individual that is wanted by ICC for war crimes, has no place in the Olympics. 1/3

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a South African-American(!) businessman and social media figure, Elon Musk (@elonmusk). He's best-known for being the wealthiest man in the world, running Tesla Inc., SpaceX & Twitter, and for parroting Kremlin's propaganda narratives.
