 support ukraine? read and watch this and then ask yourself, rhetorically, why do i think this way;

You will have to copy and paste the link below.  It is a vid of a captured Russian soldier, hands tied behind his back,  then he is beaten and his eyes gouged,  and then he is shot.   Do not watch if you can’t handle a human being screaming in agony. Am not kidding.

The same site (southfront.org) has TONS of videos.  Ukies bombing a Ukie church, with worshipers inside,  in Lugansk.  Or, maybe you’ll enjoy where a Russian prisoner is forced to <i> call his mother (!!)</i> and the Ukies then mock the mother, and later kill the captured soldier (although the killing is not recorded).  There are  vids of captured Russian solders bleeding and burned and not receiving medical care but, rather, have their eyes gouged out.  No this is not Russian propaganda — the Ukie Nazis themselves are the ones releasing these vids.  The torture is widespread. They show them on Ukie television nightly.  Really. The Ukies love this new kind of reality show. ........read more.........

 more moves by the 'most moral democracy' in the middle east;

On Thursday, a young Palestinian woman suffered life-threatening wounds after an Israeli military jeep rammed her near Tuqu’ town, east of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

Eyewitnesses said the young woman, 19, was rammed by the army jeep immediately after stepping out of a bus.

The wounded young woman, a university student, was on a trip organized by her college when the incident occurred.

The soldiers called Israeli medics to the scene and moved her to an Israeli hospital in occupied Jerusalem......https://imemc.org/article/young-palestinian-woman-in-critical-condition-after-israeli-army-jeeps-rammed-her/

 it looks like putin is doing some judo moves on the empire and one of those moves is taking the dollar down several notches which will be hard on those of us that spend dollars;

A new reality is being formed: the unipolar world is irrevocably becoming a thing of the past, a multipolar one is taking shape

It was something to behold. Dmitri Medvedev, former Russian President, unrepentant Atlanticist, current deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, decided to go totally unplugged in an outburst matching the combat star turn of Mr. Khinzal that delivered palpable shock and awe all across NATOstan.

Medvedev said “hellish” Western sanctions not only have failed to cripple Russia, but are instead “returning to the West like a boomerang.” Confidence in reserve currencies is “fading like the morning mist”, and ditching the US dollar and the euro is not unrealistic anymore: “The era of regional currencies is coming.”

After all, he added, “no matter if they want it or not, they’ll have to negotiate a new financial order (…) And the decisive voice will then be with those countries that have a strong and advanced economy, healthy public finances and a reliable monetary system.”

Medvedev relayed his succinct analysis even before D Day – as in the deadline this Thursday established by President Putin after which payments for Russian gas by “unfriendly nations” will only be accepted in rubles.

The G7, predictably, had struck a (collective) pose: we won’t pay. “We” means the 4 that are not large Russian gas importers. “We”, moreover, means the Empire of Lies dictating the rules. As for the 3 that will be in dire straits, not only they are major importers but also happen to be WWII losers – Germany, Italy and Japan, still de facto occupied territories. History does have a habit of playing perverted tricks.........read more.......
