Four Russian soldiers surrendered near the Antonivskyi Bridge on the Dnipro River, across from Kherson, after a loudspeaker drone operated by Ukraine’s 34th Marine Brigade offered them the chance to surrender.
Following instructions broadcast from the drone, they moved to a designated point, were ferried across the river, and taken into custody.
🍔 As a bonus for choosing to surrender voluntarily, they received a McDonald’s meal.
When parents warn a three-year-old, “Don’t play with fire — you’ll get burned,” the child doesn’t listen. They have to touch the flame themselves. It might be fun, they think. They’ll never know until they try.
That’s exactly what’s happening right now in Australia and across the West.
People like me — and millions of others who actually lived through communism — are pleading with you: “Don’t go there. Don’t vote Labor or the Greens again. These are the same ideas, repackaged.” Our friends who survived Islamic regimes are warning you too.
But do you listen? No. You have to try it for yourselves. You have to feel the hunger, the shortages, the loss of freedom, the slow erosion of everything you take for granted.
History isn’t a suggestion. It’s a warning.
And some lessons, once learned the hard way, can never be unlearned.
