some people truly believe that putin's Russia is defending Christianity. But do you really think that: a) sending bombs, missiles, drones on people, b) destroying houses where people live and burying them under the rubble, c) kidnapping children (dozens of thousands of them),…

Trump says it is "strange" that after every "nice", "very pleasant", and "wonderful" conversation with Putin Russia bombs Ukrainian cities. well, he has to learn one thing about KGB world. It is always "polite" but then very cruel. Remember annexation of Crimea was done by…

Russia kills because it can. But also because its cruelty stays unpunished. It built its empire on the premise that crime stay unpunished. Non-punishment of crimes is for her a key to success. What you consider cruelty, Russia considers as a “key to success”. “Efficiency”. “Good…

Horrible Russian attack on Kyiv today.. Russian missile and drone terror against Ukrainians continues. Russia today is the enemy of humanity Photo @rubryka

Kherson today. Freedom square. We end each of our trips to Kherson here. A sacral place where Kherson civilians were protesting against Russian occupation, fearlessly. Now attacked by the Russian bombs. Russians are 3-5 km from here, on the other side of Dnipro river. Despite…

I once argued that Soviet Union was a Marxism upside down. Instead of giving power to the production forces, it gave power to the destruction forces. Power belonged not to those who controlled the means of production but to those who controlled the means of destruction. KGB,…

Trump thinks he “struck a deal” with Putin. He doesn’t realize that KGB men don’t make deals. They don’t bargain, because they don’t take steps back. For them, “negotiations” mean making the other side believe that a compromise has been reached, and that it’s time to retreat.…
