"Future representatives of the diaspora" sitting in the mezzanine. How many? Like... 20-30? Stupid mother fuckers elected a bunch of Nightingales in the mid-terms. 😟
I was going to watch Zelenskyy's speech... but could only handle five minutes of this fuckery. The adulation is sickening. I'll now wait for the transcript. #GoodLuckAmerica
"... we have to do whatever it takes to ensure that countries of the Global South also gain such victory".
By victory, he means liberation from Russian influence, in the battle for minds. 🤬
"... the world is too interconnected and interdependent to allow someone to stay aside and at the same time to feel safe when such a battle continues."
Sound like a threat against any country who aims to remain neutral.
Zelenskyy again makes the false claim that Ukraine has been trying to negotiate peace with Russia. Here's the 10-point "peace plan" that he frames as a "peace proposal" that Ukraine has offered Russia: straitstimes.com/world/europe/t…
If we actually agree to Ukraine's 10-point peace plan and formally sign a treaty for implementing it and its security compact, America would be transformed into a vassal state to Ukraine.
I have to make a correction to my second Tweet above. "Future representatives of the diaspora". Thought he meant congressional representatives. What he actually meant was foreign agents... Americans of Ukrainian ancestry who represent the interests of Ukraine.
It would be interesting to learn if any of those delegates grew up in OUN homes, and if they were raised as members of the Ukrainian Youth Association (Banderite Youth).

The Taliban announced a *temporary* ban of female students, until they can raise more funds for education and re-write textbooks to be more in line with Islam. aljazeera.com/news/2022/12/2…
While criticized for this, I might remind people that the U.S. banned women from universities until recent history. We're expecting Afghanistan to do overnight, what it took us almost 200 years to do. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coeducati…
I'm so tired of our country holding other countries to our own standards, especially since we haven't even managed to get democracy right after all this time.
Mariupol has moved on and the people there are on their way to a brighter future. Time for Kyiv and NATO to get over it.
Kyiv lost Mariupol in 2014, after Right Sector thugs mass murdered people in Odessa, and have only been able to hold the city by force and terror for 8 years. It's time to let those people be.
The last thing JG Meek Tweeted about, before the FBI raided his home and he disappeared, was agreement with another reporter about how the US military has been using Ukraine as a battle experiment since 2014, to study Russian tactics...
I vaguely remember reading that he was working on a story about Afghanistan, or at least doing research into the "botched evac". But I can't find anything about this to share at the moment.
Now... 7 months after his disappearance, the DOJ is preparing a grand jury indictment which is supposedly unrelated to his activities as a journalist, even though it was previously stated that the feds found classified info on this computer. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
The Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN) has played a large role in shaping our post WW2 policies (both abroad, and domestically), and it's pretty disgusting. archive.ph/VkpJ2
Fact that our government is still carrying on with these policies, despite Russia no longer being communist, proves that it was never really about communism. Rather, these policies are based on deep seated prejudices against the East that began w/ fears about the Asiatic hordes.
I agree that this is a huge motivator. But if our leaders weren't Western Supremacists they wouldn't have even arrived at this immoral position. They'd pursue mutually beneficial trade agreements, rather then the conquest & subjugation route they've taken.
The West has been accusing Belarus of staging for war for a while now, while Ukrainian actors keep doing terrorist attacks in Belarus. Next, the West will start calling for more "preemptive" measures that will end up provoking Belarus into entering the war...
