Since nobody noticed. Hungary was not allowed to attend, and Ukraine replaced Hungary in the meeting. And the NB8 basically ran the meeting so hard that it was akin to a coup from the group of Hawks. Good day for Europe, bad day for Russia.

"Xi told me that he would not sell weapons to Russia, but I know one thing: China is helping Russia. China is not helping Ukraine. China is not interested in our victory and Russia's defeat," Zelensky said during a press conference in Brussels.

Never underestimate the ability of patriots to hit an occupying army. During WWII, bus drivers in Norway hired by the German Army drove over cliff edges, killing themselves and the German soldiers they were forced to transport.

Citizens can help derail ruzzian and Belarussian trains in many, many ways. A fun way is to place a long row of thick nuts and bolts on both rails. Good times!

The documents in German and Russian: The "Third Reich" and the Soviet Union proclaim to "secure peace in Europe" after the "collapse of the Polish state" They both acuse France and GB of trying to "prolong the war". Which means modern tankies sound like Nazis
