russia commits ecocide in Ukraine

"We will survive this as well, and win. It's just that no one will ever REALLY understand what happened. They never did. "Where's your Duke Ellington? Where's your Frank Sinatra?" Not here. Lined up and shot. "Where's your grand historical multi-generational business?" Not here. They were never born. Had everything taken from them. Died of hunger. And the memory of what remained is being raided or further destroyed by russian bastards. "Where's your Gaudi? Where's the Ukrainian John Nash?" Burned down. From a russian bomb or arson. Not here. "Why can't you sort yourself out!" Who'll be doing the sorting? The people who, since 1991, had at most 3 years of a breather because the russian bastards were putting their fingers into every pie here and propping up reprobates? Yeah, let's see you try to build a state in such conditions. At least as strong as we did."

Dear followers, I am writing this post with a request.

This morning, Russia hit the largest children's specialized hospital of Ukraine "Okhmatdyt" in the city of Kyiv with a missile.

The buildings of the hospital were damaged, some buildings of the medical facility were destroyed, windows and panes were broken, there are victims, workers and children buried under the debris.

Volunteers and official services are currently working on the site to eliminate the consequences, help patients and employees.

Below is a link to an emergency fundraiser gathering funds to temporarily resume operation of the hospital and keep children in critical condition supplied with the necessary medicine and equipment until everyone has been freed from the rubble and evacuation is possible.

I'm begging you - ten dollars, five, two or just one - even the smallest donation counts. I ask you, even if you don't have the resources to donate yourself, to spread this post.

Kind regards and many thanks

your little shploinka 🫶

Boycott!

And to those who are still in favor of Harris, fuck yourselves, people in Gaza are dying because of you, because the blues are supplying weapons to Israel, and shove the text "But Trump is worse!" up your ass, because it's a shitty argument with which you avoid consequences for your crimes (Yes, fuck blue people like you fuck Trump fans, you deserve each other)

I had to get this shit out because liberals are annoying

(I started writing this post a few hours ago, but the battery started to die, so I had to turn it into a draft)

Yes, I'm pissed at the blue people because they will uncritically defend Harris…

Now that I have your attention:

Let it be known that Ukraine has and will continue to hold onto Russian land until Russia leaves Ukraine's internationally recognized territory. Most of all it's very telling that Putin and Russian state media had downplayed and ignored Kursk due to it being an absolute disaster for Russia, well when they aren't calling for those same Russian villages and towns to be homed into the ground. It's almost insane to think that people thought Ukraine wouldn't last a week much less several years, but never underestimate the fighting will of people opposing tyranny. Don't stop fighting until Ukraine is free!! 💛💙💛💙💛💙

Sean Craig at The Daily Beast:

Tulsi Gabbard, whom Donald Trump plans to nominate as his director of national intelligence, was a faithful consumer of Kremlin-controlled propaganda network RT, three of her former aides told ABC News. The former Hawaii congresswoman’s foreign policy views, which critics say have increasingly grown soft on Vladimir Putin’s Russia, have led some Democratic lawmakers to question her commitment to the United States. Rep. Jason Crow said there are “deep questions about where her loyalties lie,” and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, without offering evidence, claimed Gabbard is “likely a Russian asset.” Gabbard has repeatedly denied such claims.

Gabbard’s former aides, however, told ABC that the more plausible explanation for her outlook is her media diet. They said the former Democrat continued regularly reading and sharing articles from RT well after she was advised that it was an unreliable source of information. The aides emphasized Gabbard also “would consume news from a wide range of outlets, including left-wing and right-wing blogs.” The State Department has, for nearly a decade, deemed RT a Kremlin mouthpiece and has heightened its scrutiny of the outlet in recent years. In September, officials warned the American public that the outlet’s activities have stretched beyond mere news. “We now know that RT moved beyond being simply a media outlet and has been an entity with cyber capabilities,” the State Department wrote. “It is also engaged in information operations, covert influence, and military procurement.”

Earlier that month, the Justice Department indicted two former RT employees for allegedly laundering nearly $10 million to a plot that paid right-wing influencers to “disseminate content deemed favorable to the Russian government.” Gabbard quit the Democratic Party in 2022 and drifted into the Trump orbit over the next two years, finally going full MAGA by joining the Republican Party in October. Her views on Russia’s incursions and attacks on Ukraine have notably changed from 2014—when she called for “meaningful American military assistance for Ukrainian forces” in response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea—to recent years, when she has laid the blame for Russian aggression at the feet of NATO and the United States. ABC obtained a 2017 memo from Gabbard to campaign staff that the outlet said lamented the United States’ “hostility toward Putin.” In 2014, when Russian troops annexed Crimea, Gabbard—then a first-term representative—released a statement advocating for “meaningful American military assistance for Ukrainian forces” and for the U.S. to invoke “stiffer, more painful economic sanctions for Russia.” “The consequences of standing idly by while Russia continues to degrade the territorial integrity of Ukraine are clear,” she wrote at the time. “We have to act in a way that takes seriously the threat of Russian aggression against its peaceful, sovereign neighbor.” By 2017, however, her tune had changed. In a lengthy memo to campaign staff laying out her views on foreign policy, a copy of which was obtained by ABC News, Gabbard blamed the U.S. and NATO for provoking Russian aggression and bemoaned the United States’ “hostility toward Putin.” “There certainly isn’t any guarantee to Putin that we won’t try to overthrow Russia’s government,” she wrote.

Former aides of Tulsi Gabbard told ABC News that she was devout consumer of pro-Kremlin propaganda outlet RT. A key example of her pro-Kremlin shift is that in 2014, she resolutely defended Ukraine. Once Donald Trump came into power in 2017, however, was where her turn to Putin simping began.

The #Russian #military crossed into #Ukraine 1,004 days ago. It is obvious by now that #Ukrainians do not want to be “#liberated” by #Russia. This #war affects #usall!

Next in line will be #Moldova, followed by the #USA, unless we understand #geopolitcs.

Where are the environmental activists talking about the ecocide russia commits in Ukraine?

[opanas-opanasovych-opanasenko]

Imagine your city is fucking gone. Really sit with that thought. Let it germinate within your mind. It's no longer there. The streets you lived in, where you played with your friends as a kid, where you fell in love. Gone. It's a pile of smoking rubble. It's not there. You can't go back there. It's not there. It no longer exists. This is what russia did to Avdiivka. This is what they did to Bakhmut earlier, and to many other cities and towns. All because Western aid is being stalled. Because a lunatic religious fanatic is the Speaker of the House, and his party is full of self-serving traitors to the country. Because Polish farmers are blocking transit of important military aid at our border. Because all of you drank up russian psy-ops like thirsty wanderers in the desert. Because we gave away the weapons that could've prevented this to the perpetrator of this, in exchange for a deal to "guarantee our sovereignty" which one of the signatories broke and the other two are afraid to fulfill.

So sit with that thought now, and draw conclusions, and be better, and do whatever is in your power to prevent it from happening in the future, because if they aren't stopped in Ukraine, they won't stop with Ukraine. Do everything you can, so that the thought is a hypothetical, not a premonition.

Putin approved Russia’s updated nuclear doctrine

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree approving the country’s updated nuclear doctrine after US President Joe Biden authorised Ukraine to fire long-range missiles deep into Russia.

The doctrine comes into force on Tuesday, 19 November, with an earlier decree on nuclear deterrence policy becoming null and void, according to Russian media.

Among the key conditions for the possible use of nuclear weapons, Russia cited “aggression” by non-nuclear-weapon states backed by nuclear powers. Even the use of conventional weapons could be grounds for a nuclear response, according to the document.

Russia’s adversaries are defined as “individual states and military coalitions that view the Russian Federation as a potential adversary,” as well as those with nuclear weapons or “significant combat capabilities of general-purpose forces.” In other words, Moscow could use nuclear weapons after any member of the military alliances gets involved in the war in Ukraine.

The doctrine update should ensure “that a potential adversary understands the inevitability of retaliation in the event of aggression against Russia and/or its allies,” the document said.

US Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Brian A. Nichols, confirmed that Biden authorised Ukraine to launch long-range weapons strikes against Russian territory. This was the first official confirmation from a US official following media reports on Sunday.

The previous doctrine, outlined in 2020, stated that Russia could deploy nuclear weapons in the event of a nuclear attack or a conventional attack that threatened the existence of the state.
