This is like when the Telegraph review of my book pitched a hissy fit when I said the Falklands War was colonial. What does the Telegraph think “colonial” means, if not exploration and, well, colonies???

Trump's purported peace plan for Ukraine is this:
- Decide to peace
- Talk about peace with a guy who absolutely doesn't want peace
- Hey presto, peace!

“When a ceasefire is announced, I will just run. No one ask me where. I myself don’t even know. I will just run, and run.
…the important thing is to arrive at a quiet place: a place that allows me to weep for a long time.”

Digitálne projekty SNG boli malý zázrak. Pár ľudí tam za tri groše robilo fantastickú robotu, ktorú by inde vyvážili zlatom. A trúfli si to robiť opensource.
A aj toto pochovala ministerka Šimkovičová a návrat späť nevidím reálne.

Those who make a living off exploiting the poor, the weak, the sick, the elderly, the needy, they should all be afraid to walk the streets.
Life should be made so intolerable that they welcome jail as the peaceful way out.
