Ukraine needs adequate military support from its allies right now. It’s still not too late to hold Russia accountable. Every second of delay costs Ukraine its people and Europe its security and future. The hard decisions not made today will only be harder and costlier to make tomorrow.

This invasion is giant mistake. I should have let Ukraine join NATO and only then invaded. The alliance would have just had some meetings about it.

Very interesting! Of course Russian films marginaliseren e.g. Ukrainians. Remember the famous White Guard film: all ukrainians in this film were creeps and traitors....

Soviet cinema was a tool of Russian colonialism. Under the guise of entertainment, films promoted Moscow and imposed Russian culture while marginalizing others.

Our analysis reveals how this cultural imperialism worked.

Digital iron curtain descends further as Kremlin chokes Internet freedoms

Three and a half years into its all-out war against Ukraine, the Kremlin is waging a parallel battle at home — this time against Internet freedom. The Russian authorities are tightening their digital grip and rolling out sweeping new measures to keep people online in check. Russian authorities' efforts to block calls via the Telegram and WhatsApp messengers have been going hand in hand with the creation of a Kremlin-controlled "national messenger" called Max, intended to replace foreign equiva

Me: What is Putin's game plan?

Professor of Russian studies:

To sow and fuel disorganization in the world so he can reassemble the Soviet Union, unopposed.

Me:
Why does the world not watch for this?

Prof:

When it's on their doorstep they will.
Only then.

Al die keren nul journalisten belaagd, geen politieagent mishandeld, geen auto in de fik gestoken, geen hitlergroeten gebracht, geen fascistische leuzen geuit.

Dit is het volk dat niet gehoord wordt. Maar ze laten zich niet muilkorven. Volgende keer een half miljoen!

I call on all European celebrities of good faith to take a leaf out of Fonda's and Streisand's book and speak out against #fascism

Olga Nesterova @onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 9d

Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment. Fonda announced the revival of the organization, initially founded by her father, Henry Fonda. The organization was founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism.
