A grim reminder of the real nature of the “Christian Europe” that Putin and his far-right stooges have in store for us all.

the fundraiser is at 53% right now, but it is kind of stuck. i used to wake up to a list of PayPal donations from foreigners, but there hasn't been a single donation last night, which is kind of disheartening. consider sharing this, please

i am offering my new music as part of a fundraiser, again. it is for my Army friends, from my old unit. i need to buy them a used SUV – the old one broke (i remember that thing, it sux). on offer is basically a live album by my new project, details here – thank you: www.instagram.com/p/DG0Lfa_NM80/
A photo of two Kalashnikov assault rifles, standing upright on their butt ends in a trench, between them - a niche dug into the side of the trench, with a dirty charging station inside. Over the photo, plain black text is overlaid, small letters say "ONCE AGAIN! I AM DOING THIS..." and large text says "my new music for a fundraiser", between the two blocks of text – a small Ukrainian flag Over a grey background, the following black text is overlaid in a sans-serif font: "Hello, again... I am continuing my military service from Kyiv and I need nothing, but back in the South of Ukraine my old Armed Forces of Ukraine unit tells me that our car broke, and I'd like to buy a replacement.
Since its inception three years ago, my unit has had a 1991 3-door Opel Frontera, which was initially cherry red, soon repainted coyote brown. It was mainly used to transport small personnel groups between various points and command posts in the rear, as it was never quite reliable enough for us to be used at the frontline (despite being called a «Frontera»). We also had to fix it a lot."
At the bottom of the image, there is a collage of a cherry red 1991 Opel Frontera, not fully visible, overlaid with an image of a close-up badge that says FRONTERA.

This was made possible by years of Russia convincing everyone that Ukraine is not part of Europe. Now the U.S. joined the party. And there’s still time for Europe to abandon this self-destructive delusion because, unlike in WWII, today the U.S. might not fight on Europe’s side.

It’s a huge mistake that Europe accepts it as an axiom that the war must end with Russia at some table. This war must end with Russia’s absolute, crushing defeat. And the only table the arrested Kremlin should face is in the Hague—whoever makes it that far. Not everyone did in WWII.

Mykolaiv: Another russian drone detonated on a children's playground, just 20 meters from an apartment building. The explosion shattered windows in nearby buildings, damaged interior doors, and littered the entire yard with debris and building materials.

Meanwhile in Russia: Sergey Mikheyev says that in light of the Trump administration's express intent to abandon NATO allies in case they intervene in Ukraine, Russia should strike Brussels, London and Paris. Vladimir Solovyov wholeheartedly agrees. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkX5...

oh its fine. all Ukrainians are forced to think about US politics and we discuss it among ourselves regularly. that's just how it is when you're trying to survive. - also, i think the infinitely important Internet Archive was under attack recently as well, and could be gone too. nothing is sacred

if a genie offered me 3 wishes one of them would be to make sure that i never have to care about American politics ever again as long as i live. i dont deserve this. the fact that Americans are so mean, stupid and low as to elect the fascists just to spite each other shouldnt hurt uninvolved parties

discrediting, discarding and destroying it, which would be, I think, the worst thing on Musk's resume – and so far in every situation he's done the worst thing he could. this would mean a complete destruction of truth as an idea and the fascist American government would basically have created 1984

known fascist Elon Musk sent out the memo among republicans that they are supposed to post about how "Wikipedia lies" because, you know, it isn't bigoted (and reports him doing the Nazi salute). i've seen an influx of posts about how Wikipedia is "propaganda", which seems like the logical step to

Musk will do it twice, thrice, and far worse things, until people realize his financial backing comes from Russia and his followers are driven by ideological propaganda funded by Russia, and without defeating the root of these “domestic problems,” they will never be solved.

imagine this happening to a downtown of any other European city of one million. would this be tolerated? would you be negotiating with the terrorists, reasoning with them not to be evil? but just because it is a Ukrainian city Zaporizhzhia it is fine for russians to do it, right?
