So nice to see you Illia - I followed you on 'that' platform, but have been free of it now for more than a year & no regrets. Please consider switching your posts or at least copying them on here - Musk will hopefully be swallowed in the sea of filth that is starting to envelop the evil orange one

You'll never sing that.... etc

I also took out of paywall this piece from May, in which I wondered why Trump was constantly acting like a Russian agent of influence even after the Russians humiliated him time and time again. I hope we do not have the answer. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I have similar dilemmas; Irish by birth, born into a rural three room cottage with no electricity or running water in 1961. One of a family of 13. Your sense of privilege and entitlement is astounding, but we nevertheless appear to share the same culture & values. There is still hope for humanity.

I'm trying to come to terms with the vagaries of human evolution; America gave free rein to independent thought & individualism. Soviet Russia did the opposite; free thought was criminalised & eventually liquidated. But here in 2026 there is no real difference - no path discernible to human progress

This is all down to Stalin in the end - he liquidated every single individual with any opinion or power of independent thought in Soviet Russia. What is left is the dregs of humanity. It will take them many, many generations to recover. Human evolution would not have advanced in Soviet Russia

This activity is too sporadic - there needs to be a sustained campaign, as Russian military is very dependent on railway infrastructure

And yet again, shows the importance of the railway system to the Russian war machine. The Ukrainian special ops groups need to increase their activity in this area

And whilst we continue to condescendingly laugh at the boorishness and narcissisticness of it all, they continue to accrue wealth and play us for fools. Wake up peeps, this is not a stage play, this is happening in front of our eyes

Including self-inflicted weakness of public communication.

"Democracy dies in Darkness"? I think not - in America, as elsewhere, it is dying on a live TV feed & with full media complicity

and if I wanted to be really pedantic, I would add 'the poison they *have* unleashed on the world'

Sorry Alex, don't really want to get into a ten point exchange about this & follow you because I agree with most of what you have to say. I made a flippant comment on your post, that the staff *unwittingly* served you. That is all & I wish you well

Sorry Alex, but *grammar*? They *unwittingly* served you? Get a grip Alex, you're better than this 🤣in a post-facts world where words matter
