Today is 92nd anniversary of Holodomor. Soviet Russia inflicted a man made famine on Ukraine that killed millions. Today we are trying to wipe the country off the map.
The only difference is the USA is on our side now.

This is the kind of lunatic view that Brits who spend a lot of time with the dimmer sort of American Anglophile come up with.
'America is British'.
It turns out Danny Kruger is peak 'Americans are the same as us'.
Until this mindset – conscious and subconscious – is defeated in Britain, we'll never see ourselves as properly European.

‘America is British’. Heaven is ‘a socialist state’. David Attenborough is ‘anti-human’ – the startling theories of Reform MP Danny Kruger
He was a Conservative party big-hitter who wrote speeches for David Cameron and worked with Boris Johnson before he suddenly jumped ship. He talks family, flags and why Nigel Farage is ‘top dog’

Maternal mortality came down over history because of specific, measurable interventions.
Human childbirth is difficult and hazardous for both mother and child. Early adaptations to this hazard were to have more children, which worked at a human population level, but didn't change individual risk.

The HUR reported that the released individuals in Belarus held pro-Ukrainian views. Spokesperson Andriy Yusov said the operation was carefully prepared and carried out once the opportunity arose.
Ukraine has returned 31 civilians from Belarus, including men and women sentenced to 2–11 years in prison. The youngest is 18, the oldest 58, and some are seriously ill. The Coordination Headquarters thanked the U.S. and Donald Trump for helping secure their release.

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
