I just finished watching Hamas footage of October 7. I've seen short clips and read eyewitness testimonies, but I have avoided watching the actual footage until now. I have been a human rights activist for over a decade and I may have just lost all faith in human rights bodies.

It’s wild that the Czech president says the price of Ukraine’s independence could be its partial occupation. But partial occupation means No independence. Russia will never settle for just a part. It will always be hungry for more. The same thing happened with Hitler in 1938,

"The world asks of us only the strength we have and we give it. Then it asks more, and we give it." This Jane Hirshfield poem has carried me through so much themarginalian.org/2019/10/23/the…

India responds to US & EU: The very nations criticizing us for Russian oil imports are themselves trading in Russian gas, uranium, chemicals, and machinery. This is not compulsion. It’s strategy. India will do what it takes to protect its national interests and economic security.

This would be an opportunity to test our capacity. Should just shoot them all down.

I want Russians to stop being thrown into a meat grinder for no other reason than satisfying one man’s sadistic ambitions.

Funny how getting punched in the mouth generally makes you shut up.

Two Russian acts of sabotage took place in Romania recently: 1. An explosion at a munitions factory that was producing for Ukraine. 2. A large quantity of imported oil was intentionally contaminated with chlorides, forcing the government to tap into its strategic reserves.

How to Stop Putin’s War Machine. I wrote about it for The Washington Post. President Donald Trump’s ultimatum to Russia is important. Ukraine values his clarity — and his willingness to pursue peace through strength. That principle has always been at the core of our resistance.

From the inside of the Russian meat grinder. 🎙️ “This is f*cked. They’re sending us into combat sick! I’ve got diabetes - they took my insulin. My comrade has asthma - they took his inhaler. Platon’s choking. I don’t know what happens next…” Chronically ill. No meds. Still

Brussels is preparing sanctions against China over its support for Russia’s war in Ukraine — Politico The move follows a Reuters report revealing covert shipments of Chinese drone engines to Russia, disguised as “industrial refrigeration units” to bypass sanctions.

I noticed two things: 1. Russian trolls jumped on this question likes vultures on a carcass 2. The few possibly real Canadians in this discussion got their thinking infected with Kremlin disinformation.

Belarus is the battlefield that Putin doesn’t want you to see. Lukashenka gave up our sovereignty. Belarusians never did. Our fight is far from over, and it matters to all who believe in freedom and democracy. Don’t let Belarus disappear behind Putin’s shadow.

Wollt ihr Opfer des Terrors sehen? Hier bitte. Ermordet von der jammernden Bande in Moskau, die jeden Tag in die Opferrolle schlüpft, bevor sie ihre Schneise aus Blut durch Europa zieht. Ich verachte sie und jeden, der auch nur in Betracht zieht, Geschäfte mit 🇷🇺 zu machen.

Russian propagandists have been whining with unusual rhythm these past few days. But intelligence clearly isn’t their strong suit — some had their tongues clamped, others… something else, courtesy of their handlers in Putin’s administration. So instead of propaganda, we just get
