Furthermore, over 40% of the captured Russians said they did not regard Ukrainians as fully human. […]

This is your daily reminder that activists on the far left and far right appear to have converging agendas when they both work to advance the ambitions of the Russian terror state to subjugate Europe.

"When Epstein was arrested in 2019, authorities found a fake Austrian passport in his safe with his photo but a different name. Since [Ronald S.] Lauder served as U.S. Ambassador to Austria in 1987—the very year the passport was issued—it's not hard to guess who might have helped him get it" […]

#verhandlungen sind das Opium für den Westen. Immer, wenn wir kurz davor sind, unserem Dealer an den Kragen zu gehen, gibt er uns wieder ein bisschen was und wir sind ruhig. Verhandlungen sind unser Schnuller.

Perhaps the barbarity of the average Russians can best be understood through the eyes of Ukrainian children who were abducted, imprisoned, reeducated, and forced to clean up blood and other remains after torture sessions on Ukrainians. Please read this review of Evgeny Afineevsky's documentary […]

Show, don’t tell – auf der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz zeigt Präsident Selenskyj Zahlen und macht deutlich: Bei der Masse russischer Luftangriffe ist die gegenwärtige Unterstützung unzureichend. Und er drängt weiter auf eine konkrete EU-Perspektive – als Sicherheitsgarantie.
