All those who oppose military aid to Ukraine today are the same people who would have been opposing military aid to England in 1940. Here is a video from 1940, where Charles Lindbergh was speaking before the “American First Committee” and calling to stop arming the UK. 1/n
2/ The excuses were pretty much the same as the brainwashed russian propagandists push today: “This is not our war,” “Ukraine cannot win,” etc. If Lindberg would have been listened to, there would have been a Nazi Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok.
3/ The America First Committee was later discontinued. Now it has been revived through “Make America Great Again” movement lead by a pro-russian puppet Donald J Trump.

Putin said to Tucker that Russia was founded in 862. But he forgot to mention that at that time, Moskow was a swampy forest with no civilization at all. Kyiv, however, was a prosperous city.
1/n Image
2/ Before the Rurikid dynasty started ruling in 882, Kyiv was ruled by Askold and Dyr since 860. By 1100, Kyiv became 4th largest city in Europe (much bigger than Paris or London in those days), and Moskow was not yet founded (it was founded in 1147).
3/ The state was called Rus or Ruthenia. In the 13th century, the Pope was calling Danylo (Ukrainian king) “King of Rus” while Alexander Nevsky was called “Duke of Suzdal”. Even in the 17th century, Ukrainian Hetman Bohdan Khmelnitskyi was calling himself “the Hetman of Rus”.

Ukraine showed one of best increases globally in 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index.
1/n Image
2/ This year, Ukraine received 36 points out of 100 possible (3 points more than last year) and ranked 104th among 180 countries. Since the Revolution of Dignity, Ukraine has gained 11 points in the CPI over 10 years, the highest increase among current EU candidates.
3/ Importantly, with only 25 points, russia is way behind Ukraine. Among EU member states, Hungary is the closest to Ukraine, with 42 points. Yet, they are the ones who constantly use the issue of corruption in Ukraine as an excuse not to provide aid to Ukraine.

This is the map of the Ukrainian-speaking area in 1897 according to the population census conducted by the russian empire. As you can see, it goes beyond the border of modern Ukraine.
1/n Image
2/ Especially interesting is the region to the right across Azov sea. It is called Kuban, and it was populated mostly by Ukrainians. Since then, those areas have been russified and people living there now almost forgot their roots and identify themselves as russians.
3/ In 1933, whole Ukrainian villages in Donbas region were killed by starvation, and the russian-speaking population was moved to replace them. That’s why most in Donbas speak russian. Russia russified Donbas, just as they are trying to russify the newly occupied territories.

Pepsi helped russia to kill 13,000 Ukrainians. Since the beginning of the russian invasion, Pepsi continued its operations in russia. As a result, PepsiCo’s net profit increased by a 333% to $525 million last year and the company paid $115 million in taxes to the Kremlin.
1/n Image
2/ To put it in perspective, $115 million will allow russia to produce 200,000 shells. Artillery is responsible for about 75% of casualties, with roughly 15 shells per kill. So, Pepsi helped russia to kill 13,000 Ukrainians.
3/ Literally, Pepsi is sponsoring russian war crimes. It has already been added to the list of international sponsors of war. But we need more!

No, the Christmas scene we are used to seeing in the churches was neither peaceful nor safe.

2/ The Son of God was born in a dangerous, hostile environment, on the territory occupied by Rome. From the first day of His birth, the collaborator Herod tried to kill Jesus at any cost, in order to keep his throne.
3/ Jesus had to be destroyed as a dangerous enemy of all who were accustomed to the devil's system of oppression, destruction, and enslavement.

Please remember this when you hear “Carols of the Bells” next time.

A Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych, who wrote “Carols of the Bells”, was killed by russians on 23rd of January 1921. He was 43 when russian killed him. Imagine how much more he could have created?!

1/n Image
2/ He was just one of the hundreds of Ukrainian artists, composers, poets, writers, and scientists killed by the soviets after Ukraine lost to russia in 1919.
3/ Because Ukrainian culture is a threat to russian imperialistic myths. According to them, Ukrainians are a "nation of peasants" and can't have culture.
