to give you a hint- it's not because they think it's morally wrong to invade your neighbour and try to destroy it's state and nation.

essentially it's because Ukraine turned out to be very capable in defending itself, i.e. joining the russian army these days is a very risky business.

смея да твърдя, че всеки акт на обществена самоорганизация и взаимопомощ е против "Държавата с главно Д" и плаши строителите й.

защото прави тях да изглеждат излишни и слаби, а хората силни. чупи им модерния феодален модел.

ако имате възможност да помогнете с нещо- направете го.

В парламента няма практични действия срещу кризата, само безсмислени взаимни обвинения за връзки с "мафията".

Жители на засегнатите от кризата с боклука квартали на София и доброволци от целия град проявяват забележителна самоорганизация, като успяха да закупят дори и камиони.

I have seen too much evil. Good people died.
Blood. Screams. Eyes of survivors of torture and rape.

Evil burned everything inside me left only emptiness. This emptiness fills only when I see evil dying.

This is no longer anger. It's something else.

a typical "good russian"- it's putin's war, the common russians are victims of the regime, so we, the free world, should feel sympathy for them and not punish them for the crimes of the regime.

no! russian people MUST face the consequences of the genocidal war they are responsible for.

Watching MAGA change their minds about Trump is hilarious especially after people like this guy acted a total fool kissing Trump’s butt and now he’s seen the light,but it’s to late for all of us! You get what you voted for and this is just the beginning unfortunately! 😡
