At a critical time, I’d like to revive these threads on Russia’s horrific war crimes. They are difficult to read and they were painful to write. It’s shocking that such extreme evil, authorised and encouraged by a state, exists. Thread 1 based on UN report from March 15, 2024
In March 2022 near Kyiv, Russian soldiers raped a 42-year-old pregnant woman and the 17-year-old girlfriend of her son while forcing the young man to witness the rapes and firing shots near his head. They later took the three to an empty house and again raped the women.
“Why are you in a bad mood? Was it a bad morning of golf?” a reporter asked an angry old felon LARPing as the U.S. president. “No, it was swell” the old man with swollen ankles and shrunk brain said. How can you not be angry after a lifetime of crime and a failing intellect?
You have to admit this is a novel way to audition for employ with the Russian state.
⚡ Australian rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard will remove its music from Spotify but keep it on Russia-linked Yandex Music, The Guardian reports. The decision is a protest against Spotify’s CEO, who invested in a German company that manufactures drones used by…
Trumpism is a disease more communicable and with a graver prognosis than COVID. In New Zealand, the right-wing government wants to disenfranchise many voters, especially the Māori. Prohibited: “giving food and drink to anyone within 100 m of a polling station.”
The despicable lies about “the easy-going Ukrainian women in Europe” are invariably told by the typical Russia-adoring incel who has never managed so much as to speak to a woman who isn’t their mother. Ukrainian women are some of the strongest human beings I’ve seen anywhere.
Who says I’m laughing ? War crimes are war crimes … be it sexual or military. But since you mention the subject. what about all the women who left and are looking for men in the EU ? They are rather easy going .
Mass illiteracy is incompatible with democracy of any kind. Tulsi Gabbard released documents which show that Russia interfered to help Trump. Then she declared those showed the exact opposite. Now millions of Americans believe lies more apparent than those of Goebbels.
We must not lose sight of the extraordinary danger that Ukraine continues to be in. Slowly and with extraordinary losses (of worthless to Putin lives), Russia is advancing in Dnipropetrovsk. Nothing else comes close to the singular, existential goal of destroying the aggressor.
My dispatch from Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk oblast is the Guardian's Sunday Read. I met Valentyn Velykyi, the last person to leave the shattered village of Maliyivka, occupied yesterday. "That idiot Putin wants to take it all," he told me. Pix: @AlessioMamo theguardian.com/news/ng-intera…
The MAGA pitch that encapsulates this extremism: if we don’t turn fascist, destroy the Constitution and repeat ever bigger lies, “America will not survive.” Almost like Putin’s “if we don’t embark on permanent aggression and horrific war crimes, Russia will not survive.”
I truly respect @dbongino for saying out loud what soo many people know…. It’s worse than you can ever imagine, and if we don’t RADICALLY change it….America will not survive! This is the battle!
Matt Taibbi who, along with Mark Ames, by their own admission, once sexually harassed Western female journalists and underage Russian girls, and took cocaine and heroine, once wrote this about the “blowjob-ready lips” of Russian women. How hard is it to guess what Russia has on…
Perfect snapshot of modern “news”: a former White House flack masquerading as an anchor, interviewing an ex-CIA chief-turned-paid-MSNBC analyst, masquerading as a guest — with no journalists in the picture.
