Can you explain the thousand-year battle between God and Satan that God for some reason has not yet won – so what are the chances he will win in the future?
“We all see what is happening to Ukraine now. But it all began with Ukraine’s attempt to join the European Union,” Putin said.
And with that single phrase, he essentially admitted the real reason for the war himself.
Not “protecting Donbas.”
Not “fighting Nazism.”
Not “defending the Russian language.”
Not religion.
Not any of the endless horror stories invented by Russian propaganda.
There was only one real reason:
Ukraine dared to make its own choice.
The choice not to live under Moscow’s control.
The choice to become part of Europe.
The choice to build its own state, its own language, its own politics, and its own future.
For an empire, the greatest threat is not foreign armies near its borders.
The greatest threat is when a former colony stops being afraid and starts living independently.
100% concur. We've entered the "Democracy is unconstitutional" phase of this regime. Governor Spanberger can act, having taken the vote of her state under advisement.
Just learned something highly disturbing about Iran.
Did you guys know if a 12 year old girl is impregnated by her father she is required to carry the baby until birth or risk being thrown in prison for the rest of her life?
Oh wait, that’s just Texas and Alabama.
The fact that Southern states moved so quickly to redraw voting districts in ways that diluted Black voting power after key parts of the Voting Rights Act were struck down shows exactly why those protections were needed in the first place.
In 1934 this man testified to congress that he was approached to lead a coup and replace FDR. The plan had the backing of America's wealthiest oligarchs along with the backing of 500k men in order to install a fascist dictatorship here in America to match Europe. It is called the business plot.
Many of the wealthiest families (who formed the american liberty league) admired, supported, collaborated or outright funded the nazis. All in response to FDR's new deal government. A lot of these oligarchs worked with the black legion, which was a branch of the kkk that specifically targeted leftist and union organizers.
After speaking with Butler, congress deemed the plan not a matter of if but when the backers deemed it expedient. We did nothing to bring these men in for justice because in this country, if you are rich enough, you are untouchable.
It was mistake. It was a mistake to not punish the confederates. It was a mistake not to punish these families that planned a coup against FDR and it was a giant mistake not to punish Trump and all those who funded and made Jan 6 possible.
We are living through these mistakes now and it is costing us dearly.
Report by the Chief of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Oleh Ivashchenko. We have clear documentation outlining the Russians’ plans to exploit our temporarily occupied territories. In the southern Ukrainian lands currently under occupation, Russia intends to carry out essentially the same processes of plunder and deindustrialization that it implemented in the occupied parts of the Donbas. Geological exploration is planned, followed by rapid extraction and export of valuable raw materials from at least 18 deposits – including titanium, lithium, tantalum, niobium, zircon, molybdenum, and graphite. The occupiers are also developing further measures to seize and export this year’s grain harvest. We are preparing to counter this.
We also have updated information on Russia’s internal assessment of the impact of our long-range sanctions – the scale of direct losses and the consequences of slowing production and export processes in Russia are increasing, with particularly negative effects on regional budgets. The de facto bankruptcy of a substantial portion of Russia’s regional budgets cannot be concealed.
Today, I issued separate tasks to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine regarding Russia’s air defense system. We see that in recent weeks, additional rings of air defense have been built up around Moscow at the expense of a large-scale redeployment of systems from Russia’s regions. This indicates that the Russian leadership is not preparing for the ceasefire that has been the subject of so many statements, and is more concerned about its parade in Moscow than about the rest of Russia. At the same time, we observe that this creates additional opportunities for our long-range sanctions. We will define our corresponding priorities.
Ukraine has repeatedly proposed that Russia engage in real diplomacy and, through a ceasefire, ensure sufficient trust in the diplomatic process and the conditions necessary to achieve results. Ukraine’s proposals are on the table, and I am grateful to Ukraine’s partners for supporting our diplomacy and readiness to act in kind. Russia must take steps to end its war and to achieve a real peace. We need peace. Glory to Ukraine!
INCREDIBLE!
