Mike Tyson wore a Ukrainian embroidered shirt to a boxing legends parade in New York.
The World Boxing Stars Parade was held on August 15 in Brownsville, Brooklyn, in honor of American boxer Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington. Tyson, Zab Judah and Riddick Bowe were among the boxing legends who attended the event.
Tyson drew particular attention by wearing a traditional Ukrainian vyshyvanka instead of his usual sportswear. He has not publicly explained why he chose the shirt.
Tyson has a connection to Ukraine through Camilla Ewald, a Ukrainian-born American who, together with legendary trainer Cus D’Amato, helped raise Tyson and played an important role in his early development as a boxer. Ewald was born in the Ternopil region of Ukraine.
87 years ago on this day, the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, a.k.a. the Hitler–Stalin Pact, was much more a Soviet-Nazi treaty of common aggression against Europe than the declared “treaty of non-aggression.” On 23 August 1939, the Third Reich and the USSR officially agreed to start WWII. #CorrectingWrongHistoricalLabels
Concentración en Mérida en apoyo a Juan Carlos, funcionario del SEPE expedientado por atender sin cita previa.
"La oficina vacía y pretenden que a quien entre con un problema le diga que sin cita no le puedo atender. ¡Una vergüenza!"
Bravo, Yolanda Díaz.
Ireland cannot pretend to operate a “values based” foreign policy if we continue to protect a Russian oligarch owned company which sends its products to Russia to slaughter Ukrainian civilians.
Only 0.6% of the alumina goes to other EU states, according to Irish Times.
EU soil, NATO territory. A Russian Shahed hit a residential building in Romania, injuring civilians. Von der Leyen says another line was crossed and the EU is preparing sanctions package 21. NATO condemned and the Secretary General is in contact with Romanian authorities. This is exactly why Ukraine aid and alliance solidarity matter.
This is the official end to democracy in Türkiye. The main opposition party, the founding party of the Turkish Republic, is taken over by the regime, and the new puppet “leader” is installed by Erdogan. If European leaders continue their dealings with Erdogan as if it is still business as usual, they will be partners in crime and will bear the burden of shame.
😂 Xi Jinping played a fragment from “Swan Lake” for Putin — the famous “Dance of the Little Swans,” the unofficial soundtrack of political collapse in Soviet history
The piece was part of the musical program during the official reception for the Russian delegation in China.
Which would be perfectly normal… if “Swan Lake” hadn’t become a legendary symbol of political chaos across the post-Soviet world.
The association became especially iconic during the 1991 coup attempt, when Soviet TV kept broadcasting the ballet while the USSR was falling apart.
Coincidence? Maybe.
But it really feels like Xi is sending Putin some very mixed signals.
First — a giant “bro portrait” and a grand welcome ceremony.
Then — “Dance of the Little Swans”...
20 millones de euros en intereses de demora y costas va a pagar Hacienda, es decir, todos los españoles a Shakira.
Y lo peor de todo es que los inspectores que ejecutaron ese atropello seguirán con su bonus de productividad sin consecuencias
No es cierto. No quedó probado el fraude, sino que hubo una conformidad. Shakira aceptó los cargos para no ir a juicio, porque le pedían años de cárcel. Es lo que hace Hacienda: aquí tienes un acuerdo, si no aceptas, o te salvas o te hacemos mierda. Se llama chantaje.
OTD in 1944 Soviet deportation of Crimean Tatars began. On Stalin's orders, over 191,000 were forcibly sent to Uzbek SSR. 8000 died en route & 88,000 died with 3 years.
Imagine mass deportations happening in 21st century...

May 1, 1941. Nazi Germany's officers, General Ernst Kostring and Colonel Hans Krebs, in Red Square in Moscow. The Second World War is already in full swing. The attack on the USSR will take place in two months.
But their propagandists won't tell Russians about this. According to their plan, they're celebrating victory all the time.
