Ukrainian brothers

1/ Nov 21 – Day of Dignity and Freedom.
We honor all who rose up in 2004 and 2013–2014 for Ukraine’s right to choose freedom over fear.
Maidan changed us.
It united us.
It proved we are a nation that will not kneel to tyrants at home or invaders from Moscow.

A nation of slaves has submitted to permanent fascist rule. They may pretend they're still free. But now that the regime has taken over without resistance, it will destroy all that's left of civilized society. The US is descending into its own holocaust.

German here. In school we learned about the first phase after the Nazis took the power. This is what you're experiencing right now. The scaring and extermination of the opposition.

Ukraine stands.

The U.S. has anointed Nosferatu. The ancient demon and his wicked minions serve evil: they bring only plague, bloodlust, and the desire to kill as many of us as they can. When their reign ends, there will no longer be a U.S., only ruins & mourning. We are sinking into the abyss of a new Dark Age.

There is nothing stabile about Russia. When Russia is gone we will witness first hand how much more stabile the world will be without Russia.

“One of Vitally’s volunteers asks man in his 80s ‘Are you okay? You have no lights, no heat, no gas, no phone signal. Nothing.’
The old man gave a thumbs up ‘Also no Russians.’”
The FT review says the author finds joy and humour amid desperate conditions in #Ukraine.

An 18th-century description of Russia, from the pages of the 1782 Encyclopedia Britannica, 2nd edition, when Catherine was the empress - a thread:
"Now the empire of Russia may be looked upon as superior on power to any in Europe, though as yet far behind with regard to arts and civilization."

"Russia is your enemy. Everything Russian is your enemy."
