The President of Ukraine, from 2014 to 2019; Imagine we would have a president in the Netherlands, saying this about Frisian citizen, or about Jewish people, or about Muslims, or about atheists? He would be ousted within a day. So how come some of you still wonder why the ethnic Russian population of the Donbass wanted to become part of Russia again? Sham-elections my ass. Even many Western Ukrainians actually spoke up against the ridiculously fascist government, but they were never heard, it seems.. Just a reminder of what CIA director William Burns said in a leaked email, back in 2008 (courtesy WikiLeaks): He was right. Ethnic Russians in Ukraine became the victim of an enormous apartheidsregime, enforced by Kiev's government. Read more about the chain of events here. And this anti-minority regime is still active, currently they're enforcing Ukrainian men joining their chosen war against ethnic Russians (i.e. most of them have relatives there, so in fact no sane Ukrainian man actually wants this war). UN estimates the total number of conflict-related casualties in the Donbass region from 14 April 2014 to 31 December 2021 to be 51,000–54,000, of which 14,200-14,400 were killed, and of which ~9000 injured were…

Let's do a simple comparison everybody can understand: Population of USA: 338 million, imprisoned: 2100k = 0.62% in jail. Population of Russia: 144 million, imprisoned: 472k = 0.33% in jail. Population of China: 1425 million, imprisoned: 1690k = 0.0011% in jail. Even if this would imply that (for example) policing in both Russia or China is really bad, that there are bribes keeping people out of prison, that crime-rings are left untouched, that both Russia and China are deliberately keeping crime on the streets instead of in prison, or that Russia and China are torturing and threatening people instead of locking them up, or that Russia and China prefer letting criminals work for them under the threat of being imprisoned if they refuse to comply (i.e. a form of slavery). Even if all that were the case, there would still be no way you'd reach and equal to the amount of lawlessness or police-state or freedom-infringement taking place in the US of A. The difference is just way too large to make that come close. Noteworthy as well is that both Russia and China have extremely low documented crime numbers in general, compared to those in Western Europe and the…

For some strange reason, nobody ever reads or listens to what the president, the leader, of their (fictitious) enemy has to say about stuff. Below is a copy-paste from what Putin most recently had to say about the nuke threats, which, I would reckon, is of value to our survival on this planet, no? So by all means, read the important clip from the translation here; Mr President, could you please comment, is it true that the world is on the verge of the possible use of nuclear weapons? How will Russia act in these circumstances, given that it is a responsible nuclear state? Thank you. Vladimir Putin: Look, as long as nuclear weapons exist, there will always be a danger that they could be used. This is the first thing. Second, the goal of the current fuss around such threats and the potential use of nuclear weapons is very primitive, and I would probably be not mistaken when I explain what this is about; I already said that the dictate of the Western countries and their attempts to apply pressure on all the participants of international communication, including countries that are neutral or friendly to us, are achieving nothing,…
