Ya no fue para matar nazis
Ya no fue para conquistar territorios que eran rusos
Ahora fue por una supuesta invasión de Ucrania que no pasó
Para tragarte la propaganda rusa tenés que ser muy muy imbécil
In Constantinople, the French academic doctor Pitton de Tournefort (18th century), witnessed the impalement of the Christian Greeks from the Muslims: "They lay the victim face down, after tying his hands behind his back, place a donkey saddle on his back, and two of the executioner's assistants sit on it to completely immobilize him. Another one holds his head pressed to the ground with both hands. A fourth assistant tears open the back of the victim's trousers with scissors. Then the executioner drives the stake, a wooden spit, as deep as possible. Next, he takes a wooden hammer and strikes the stake until the sharp end emerges at the chest. They then lift the stake upright and plant it in the ground. And as the poor wretch suffers, the Turks mock him, ridicule him, and call on him to convert to Islam and embrace the Muslim faith."
Pouqueville also recounts the tragic end of the Greek Thymios Vlachavas from Thessaly, following the uprising of 1808. He saw him in Ioannina, bound to a pole in Ali Pasha's courtyard: "calmer than the tyrant who was enjoying his torment, he looked at me with a serene gaze, as if wanting to make me a witness to the triumph of his supreme hour. He endured the executioner's blows without groaning or complaining. And the limbs dragged through the streets of Ioannina showed the terrified Greeks the remains of the last captain of Thessaly."
Kandyloros reports that the Muslim Kehaya-Bey "disembarked in Kalamata in 1805 carrying twenty thousand stakes for the impalement of the Greeks. He advanced inland, captured and impaled about six hundred of them."
Another form of torture was "the hooks." They consist of a scaffold erected at the entrance of cities. The executioner hoists the condemned man high on a pole using a pulley. Below the pole are fixed hooks. Then he suddenly releases the rope, and the condemned man falls with all his weight onto the hooks, impaling himself sometimes in the chest, sometimes in the armpits, or elsewhere on the body. And they leave him there to die. Often death comes after three days.
All these were inflicted on the Greeks who refused to embrace Islam and Muhammadanism.
Hoy es el día de independencia de mi Ucrania amada.
No debemos olvidar que hace cuatro años parecía impensable poder celebrar un año más de libertad.
¡Gloria a Ucrania, gloria a los héroes 💙💛!
“Richard was a complex character: As a soldier he was little short of mad, incredibly reckless and foolhardy, but as a commander he was intelligent, cautious, and calculating. He would risk his own life with complete nonchalance, but nothing could persuade him to endanger his troops more than was absolutely necessary. Troops adore such a commander.”

@teomoneyeast@Sam1rDur4n@MalcontentmentT SK is a founding member of Pax silica. And even if they are diversifying, it's because the US is absolutely unreliable. Europe is divesting from America as well.
Trump is doing more damage to America's standing in the world than any Chinese or Soviet could do
North Koreas dictator sends more troops to kill Ukrainians, and shockingly, our president gives him a new gift and gets nothing in return.
Trump is so bad at foreign policy.
@Sam1rDur4n@MalcontentmentT The US has mostly refused to give AA ammo as well. The US just turned into an unrelated ally and the world needs to accept that.
“indians have been trying to scam each other with fake cow piss so cow piss experts are being called upon to personally taste every batch and ensure purity” is something not even the most racist person on this app could have come up with if you gave them carte blanche and five tries to come up with the most anti-indian joke they could conceive of
“but he will go to jail if he protests against his government” he’s already breaking the law by drawing gay furry porn. he had no problems with breaking the law, he simply didn’t care about his country actively committing genocide until he realised that it might affect him too
@SouthEuro They sided against Spain bc they instigated the whole crisis, invited the migrants and then shielded Morocco from any criticism. The Sanchez government is certainly complicit and should be denounced and deposed for the good of the EU and Spain.
