The pinky one is an acquired taste. Strange that "defensors of children's rights" don't say a word about military training for infants 🤨

Russian occupation administrations & companies in unlawfully Russian annexed areas of Ukraine have been systematically stealing grain & exporting it by bulkers engaging deceptive shipping practices: Matros Koshka transited Bosphorus en route from occupied Sevastopol to Alexandria carrying wheat.

»Of course the devastating thing is the success of populist-right wing parties that have been influenced by Russia in the three largest and most powerful European states; Germany (AFD), France (RN-the old National Front) and the UK (Reform).« by @phillipspobrien.bsky.social is spot on.
