Thread: This is important to note. Anti-Putin elements within the FSB (formerly the KGB) have foiled at least two plots to kill Zelenskyy.

I suspected early on that Fifth Columnists were influencing the war effort on the ground, self-sabotaging the Russian military. Good.
I am able to sleep at night because I believe RU military personnel between Putin and whoever would actually fire a nuclear weapon are planning to stop that happening.

US Army General Mark Milley ensured the same kind of safety in the last insane days of TFG's presidency.
To understand the current Russian war against Ukraine (and quite frankly, the rest of us) it helps to understand the period before and during WWII.

The British SOE and Partisans in European countries come to mind:

iwm.org.uk/history/the-se…
There were Partisans, Partisani, & Jewish Partisans. US agents active "in theater" later helped build the CIA.

Elements of the RU military right now are likely sabotaging some of Putin's plans. So I have reason for a degree of hope, despite the increasingly bad news from UKR.
If Putin manages to kill Zelenskyy that would turn a national and international hero into a martyr.

Just like Yushenkov, Politkovskaya, Litvinenko, Magnitsky, Nemtsov, and so many more.

Skripal and Navalny are still with us, but remain targets.
And there's every chance that Zelenskyy's successor as the leader of Ukrainian resistance would be just as heroic and loved as he is.

Putin may be able to succeed in destroying the country, it's freedom, and it's leader, but he and his henchmen will fail in the end.

If true, then here's my opinion on it:

It takes more than one person to make and distribute a music video. Hundreds.

Not one of them had the courage to be a whistleblower?

This kind of "art" is domestic abuse. Simple.
Whenever I see domestic abuse in public, it doesn't matter to me if the abuser is a prince or a pauper, as the saying goes.

When we are silent about domestic abuse, we are complicit in it, and we send the wrong signal to current and future survivors of it.
I don't have a very high opinion of the survivor, her partner, or the abuser here. But that's irrelevant.

The public need to better understand the dynamics of domestic abuse. Because we can vote.

We have a moral duty to avoid being a complicit bystander, as best we can.

Yes he is. And that's a sure sign that Putin's mental state has deteriorated.

Same thing happened to Hitler at the end, and to Trump.

But make no mistake: Mental illness did not lead to Hitler's aggression & genocide. He was bad not mad.

#NeverForget #NeverAgain oh wait...
Source: For my assertion that Hitler was bad not mad, right to the end. It's vital to challenge this narrative.

And, TIKhistory is an exceptionally useful & relevant YT channel on Europe & RU. About half his videos are directly relevant to this war.

I was perplexed by Putin calling the Ukraine government Nazis and drug addicts. Putin's behavior is far closer to that of the actual Nazis than just about every world leader. (Assad springs to mind as a notable exception.) So he's projecting. Is he also projecting about drugs?

Biden confirms US to sanction Putin & Lavrov.

It's a huge step & will have some negative consequences for various people, institutions, & countries. Yesterday I urged patience to see if harsher actions would be taken, & I was right (in this matter.)

edition.cnn.com/2022/02/25/pol…
My source for that belief is this guy, who I've been following for some time and esp. in this situation affecting Ukraine and the other democratic countries of the world.

Every question you have about it is answered somewhere on his youtube channel:

Good to see in Biden's statements that he is *listening* to America's European allies and joining them in their responses to Russian aggression as much as he can at this time. Who knows what the future holds.

I have written many times about the delay in entering WWI & WWII.

Thread: Social media platforms that allow hoaxes to trend are despicable.

HM Queen Elizabeth of the UK and her other realms (eg NZ), is alive and following doctor's orders to rest.

Whenever she eventually dies, go to bbc.com for the actual truth about it.
Also, it's really weird when ppl refer to the Queen as Queen Elizabeth. It's not incorrect, I know she's not the only (actual, lawful) Queen in the world, but she's always referred to as the Queen here.

"The Queen" will also be how we refer to Queen Camilla & Queen Catherine.
No, Twitter, this headline doesn't fix the problem.

I suggest, at the top of the list, for at least 12 hours, you should say:

"Queen Elizabeth is alive. Reports of her death at this time are a hoax."

We had to watch this happening for years with Prince Philip.

Ukrainian President Zelensky's comments tonight after Moscow unlawfully recognized Donetsk and Luhansk were stirring and inspiring.🕊️ 🇺🇦

Read an English translation below:
"There are no reasons for your sleepless night. We are on our land, we are not afraid of anyone or anything and we will not give anything to anyone. It’s not February 2014, but February 2022. We are sure of that.
"Recognition of the independence of the occupied areas of Donbass may mean a unilateral withdrawal from the Minsk agreements. Ukraine's internationally recognized borders will remain the same despite Russia's actions. We intend to solve everything diplomatically.

Thread: Here is what makes me tick.

The issue is both political and personal. I survived a series of events over several decades and am now in a position to offer insights to others. The same healing process is directly relevant to world politics, too.

The above YouTube link is to the start of a 14 video playlist on the channel of the highly experienced Texan psychotherapist Les Carter, PhD.

Bio: survivingnarcissism.tv/about-survivin…

Twitter:
The market has really taken off in recent years for therapists and others offering guidance through YouTube on surviving the behavior of narcissists.

There are many I'd recommend but Dr Carter is the one I most value at the moment.
