One thing I get asked a lot is "Why is always Ukraine with you?" and I'd like to answer that as best as can now.

For context I'm not Ukrainian. I'm American. But I have been closing following this war ever since the full scale invasion in 2022. People in my life have noticed it's a big thing for me know and my support for Ukriane has caused more than one... disagreement.

It's actually very simple. I don't have any high minded ideas about NATO or the EU.

I care because a nation and a culture are being destroyed and hundreds of thousands of people are dying and being injured because Russia won't fuck off.

Because in 2014 Russia waltzed in and annexed a piece of land roughly the size of BELGIUM, and they were sent night vision goggles and blankets by Obama.

Because Ukrainian children are being abducted, given Russian names, moved to Russian families and forced to speak Russian.

I care because there's a nation of people bleeding in the fields of their homeland RIGHT NOW in order to try and stop that madness. Trying to forge a better life for themselves and their children.

I don't care about Russia crying about NATO expansion, or their access to warm water ports or any of that bullshit because it's not Russias decision what happens to Ukriane and for that matter it's not the west's choice either. It's up to UKRIANE if they want to join NATO, or the EU. It's up to UKRIANE to negotiate UKRAINIAN Foreign and domestic policy without worrying what some tinpot dictator in Moscow thinks.

So people can sit there and ask "why is it always Ukraine with you" but then they turn around and talk about " america bad, something something Iraq war" but when ACTAUL IMPERIALIST AGRESSION happens right in front of you.... you don't give a shit because war and politics are messy and this situation doesn't give you the chance to feel good and "own the libs" or whatever side of the political bullshit spectrum you identify with.

Thanks for reading this vent post I guess.

the Russians wipe Vovchansk (Ukraine) off the face of the earth

There are street battles in Vovchansk, the city is almost destroyed!

First, all types of weapons are used in the city, and then the infantry are launched.

The Russians control a meat processing plant in the northern part of Vovchansk.

PLEASE REPOST!

Українською:

У Вовчанську йдуть вуличні бої, місто майже зруйноване, — МВА

росіяни стирають Вовчанськ з лиця землі.

Спочатку по місту працюють з усіх видів озброєнь, а потім запускають піхоту.

Росіяни контролюють м'ясокомбінат у північній частині Вовчанська.

The votes are in. Putin won.

Even those on the right can see what's happened:

"Conservative commentator Mona Charen noted that Ukraine president Volodomyr Zelensky this week warned the U.S. that Ukraine will lose the war against Russia’s aggression if it does not get U.S. aid. "

“Putin seems to have pulled off the most successful foreign influence operation in American history,” Charen wrote. “If Trump were being blackmailed by Putin it’s hard to imagine how he would behave any differently. And though it started with Trump, it has not ended there. Putin now wields more power over the [Republicans] than anyone other than Trump…. [T]hey mouth Russian disinformation without shame. Putin,” she said, “must be pinching himself.”

My People on Sunday

It’s yet another Sunday. I’m not going to say much because that’s the custom. But, I want to share these pictures. They were made by a Ukrainian photographer, Matagorzata Smieszek, who I stumbled upon as I rolled through Substack photographers, When I saw the picture (middle right) of the old babushka walking down the stairs I knew… these people could be my family. So you get to see…

A country with no navy has bullied Russia's navy out of the black sea.

Several ships and submarines destroyed.

All of the oil rigs under Ukranian control.

But it's taking "too long" for Americans.

CONGRATULATIONS UKRAINE 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

For those unaware Ukraine won its first medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics thanks to this amazing Olympic Athlete!! Olha Kharlan is the same athlete who took a stand against Russias imperialist invasion of her homeland when she refused to shake a Russian athletes hand after beating her. She was disqualified for this but ultimately after international backlash against the blatantly unfair ruling, she was was let back in.

She is an amazing and principaled woman and an equally amazing and skilled athlete. Congratulations to Ukraine and I wish you much more success in your Olympic Career and your fight against a imperialist tyrant!

Харків. Вогнеборець плаче на місці удару, де так звана росія вбила його батька — 52-річного рятувальника.

Загиблий Владислав Логінов присвятив своє життя роботі в пожежній службі. Його син, Володимир, також за прикладом батька став вогнеборцем і працював начальником караулу у сусідній пожежній частині.

Цієї ночі вони обидва рятували людей на місцях російських ударів.
