Indeed. Let's have an election when: * ca 12 millions are dispersed and some of them in Russia. * ca 1 million are fighting in a war. * ca 1 million in hospitals trying to recover.
Well.. I've been on this site for a long time, but the last 3 year have unveiled a lot. (Mildly speaking.) But back to the subject:
1. Why is Ukraine to stay neutral (to what?) 2. How does Ukraine abuse its citizens of Russian descent? 3. What are "citizens" of Russian descents in your mind? 4. What are citizens of "Russian" descents in your mind? 5. Are you fine with Russia to invade Tallinn to protect Estonian citizens of Russian descent? (ca 40% of those there. And do they want to...)
Putin isn't historian. He is a KGBshnik. He's trained to lie, manipulate, deceive, bribe, intimidate, torture and kill. In his youth he used to make searches at Soviet dissidents' places (there are protocols with his signature). When he was carrying a briefcase after Sobchak, he also stole petty cash from secretaries' handbags and pocket. Now he's stealing by billions and has someone else to run his errands - to intimidate, bribe, torture and kill. But nothing of it makes him a historian.
Once again, exact what part of Russian history (not Putin history, mind, but Russian history) makes it right to kill Ukrainians?
Well... from my point of view, all three adhere to murderous ideologies. Can't be more obvious as that.
And, between us chickens, it's about the time for the Western world to revise whom and why they support. There wouldn't be any Hamas, if not for all that kinda humanitarian help to Palestine.
I doubt that the solution is that simple: this abscess has been allowed to grow for far too long and, if we are totally honest, this crises has many fathers and many supporters.
But yes, HAMAS must be deleted from the equation for this situation to have any chance to be solved.
I totally agree: a gun is a piece of metal that can't harm anyone on its own.
But it might happen that sometime in the distant future, you'd want to ask yourself some different questions, like: "How many mass shootings a month you would regard as too many. How many people killed in mass shootings you'd regard as enough?" ... or some such.
Short is the main feature of a typical Scandinavian summer. This one was rainy too. Which, too, is typical. Still, it granted me a few nice moments, that’d be pleasant to remember during cold and dark Scandinavian winter.
Mihail Chsherbakov "Baltic waves". Every time I need to cry.
Northwest, the beeps, the blue. Cruiser, perhaps a destroyer. In the cabin, the radio operator rehearses: dot, dash, comma ... The girl waves her white hand from the shore. Everyone on board waved back. The most handsome one doesn't wave.
… Northwest, the beeps, the blue, crazy radio operator solo. …
Couldn't fine my thread with that name... (A few of my threads have disappeared since the beginning of the war... strange...)
Nonetheless. Alexei Navalny is charge again and put in SIZO (a very small chamber within a jail) again and he made a speech.
I'll post the link to his speech below. But I want to point your attention to the size of the man. The personality. The presence. The spirit. The stature.
Facing another 20 years in prison for ‘extremism,’ Navalny’s courtroom speech urges others to fight the ‘unscrupulous evil’ of the Russian authorities
The state prosecutor is seeking to sentence Alexey Navalny to 20 years in a special regime colony on charges of “extremism.” The prosecutor also requested that the second defendant in the case, Daniel Kholodny, be sentenced to 10 years in a general regime colony. The proceedings took place behind closed doors, and journalists and observers were not permitted in the courtroom. The verdict will be announced on August 4.

I really like the wording of our compatriot, Doctor of Philological Sciences, Professor Yuri Lotman. Speaking to students, he once said: “A man always finds himself in an unforeseeable situation. And then he has two legs to rest on: conscience and intellect.”
