If any jerk would tell you about the superiority of Russian science or culture, always remember what they do to the science and culture of neighboring nations. They have been getting it bombed, executed, or having it perish in Siberia for centuries.

To understand the scale, Uman's pre-war population was approximately 82.000, and this year, over 45.000 Hasidic pilgrims have come to celebrate Rosh Hashanah.

In Truskavets, Ukraine, a memorial plaque now marks the villa where Menachem Begin (future Israeli PM) married Aliza Arnold on May 29, 1939. Ze'ev Jabotinsky served as best man. In 3 months, WWII began. The villa was identified by the photo on the stairs. Begin's granddaughters are posing with it.

🤬 On Aug. 13, Russians once again targeted an ordinary passenger train in Odesa Oblast, striking its locomotive with a jet-powered drone, President Zelenskyy said. There were 340 passengers on board. Every day, Russia attacks ordinary civilian life simply to spread terror. 📹 Zelenskyy on Telegram

This isn't a scandal, but rather a clear disregard for their own military doctrines: First, use precision-guided munitions to "Kick-Down-the-Door," then engage in sustained combat with legacy munitions.

Honestly, nothing is happening. Poland is just returning to its ‘factory settings’. It has always been like this, perhaps except for a short period in the 1990s.

1. They halted aid. 2. They pressured Ukraine to surrender. 3. They increased oil prices due to the Iran war. 4. They lifted sanctions on Russian oil. 5. They demand Ukraine not to target Russian oil exports. [we are here]

It appears the Russian population has a particular sensitivity. They are indifferent to the hundreds of thousands of KIA and WIA, but if their slippers or underwear stocks catch fire, it becomes a tragedy.

Poland today. A random Pole assaults a 13-year-old Ukrainian girl. One can imagine what a Nazi hellhole Poland was in the 1930s. That is exactly what Ukrainian insurgents were fighting against.

To clarify, the Polish ex-Chief of the General Staff used towards Ukrainians the wording ‘strategic chamstwo’ (from biblical Curse of Ham), which in Polish refers to medieval serfs (chłop, bydło) Literally a racist comment

JD Vance urging the Ukrainians to be defensive is peak pro-Putin lobbying by the Trump administration. Now that Ukraine is doing better than they ever imagined, they want Ukraine to back off and take a deal Putin would go for. Nothing has changed. The US is with Russia.

The book explores how modern Poland created a system of laws, policies, and institutions—such as IPN, with a $150 million annual budget—solely to whitewash the role of Polish citizens in the Holocaust and to shape Poland's image as the primary victim of WW2 utppublishing.com/doi/preview-...

UPD Following Nawrotcki's decision to strip Zelenskyy of the White Eagle Order, all living former Ukrainian presidents (Kuchma, Yuschenko, and Poroshenko) decided to renounce the same orders and return them to Poland.

I really do not know what Polish politicians were counting on in this case. The choice between dignity and Polish fashion jewelry is clear. Yet I am personally grateful to Mr. Nawrotski for reminding Ukrainians of the political marauders surrounding us. Zalenskyy & Nova Poshta are the Best
