Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

It's 44 years to the day since 48 young people went to a disco at the #Stardust on the northside of Dublin, and they never came home. When Christy Moore wrote this song for them, it didn't bring them justice - instead, it was banned.

Ernest Bewley opened this café in 1927. It became a meeting spot for James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and W.B. Yeats, who found inspiration over a hot brew. ☕️
I had my first Coffee Slice here when I was 8 yrs old, it’s still one of my favourite treats. 😊

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

The words we heard from the main actors of the AfD rally about “Great Germany” and “the need to forget German guilt for Nazi crimes” sounded all too familiar and ominous. Especially only hours before the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
