I feel sorry for Ukrainians caught up in this madness.

Warhawks, fascists, and oligarchs?

Not so much.

I don't feel any more sorry for Ukrainians than I do Somalians, or any other country our military war machine has exploited without ever putting it to a vote.

Neither does Second or Ted or Cap'n, no matter how much they pretend to give a shit about this one because their Legacy Media Masters tell them to.

Oh, I agree. But SECOND, THUGR, and CAPON promote that "Ukrainians" (if they follow our anti-Russian narrative) are a Special Class of people. The rest are just ordinary schmucks not worth caring about.

They're so stupid they can't even get their empty virtue signaling right.

“I hate them,” Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s security council, wrote on social media in early June. “They are bastards and scum,” he went on. “As long as I live, I will do everything to make them disappear.”

Luke Mogelson writes:

People in Ukraine sometimes describe the intensity of shelling in simple auditory terms. A place can be “quiet” or “loud.” As the volume increases, so do the chaos, misery, death, and fear. You cannot experience such fatal noise without instinctively grasping its purpose, which is to brutalize psychically as much as physically—to demoralize and stupefy. Nowhere on earth is louder today than the Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine, where Russia has concentrated its forces and its firepower since April, after abandoning its disastrous bid to capture Kyiv. Russian officials, far from being humbled by that ordeal, have insisted on their continued determination not only to seize Ukrainian land and resources but also to punish and terrorize Ukrainians and their supporters. “I hate them,” Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s security council, wrote on social media in early June. “They are bastards and scum,” he went on. “As long as I live, I will do everything to make them disappear.”

When Medvedev posted this statement, I was in Lysychansk—at the time, the easternmost city still under Ukrainian control. Artillery boomed and crashed. Power lines drooped across deserted streets. Not a single shop was open. There was no electricity, gas, fuel, cellular service, or running water. As my translator and I drove through empty neighborhoods strewn with rubble, Medvedev’s desire, here at least, seemed to have been realized. Then, not long after we arrived, we encountered something unexpected: a group of people.

They were loitering outside a fire station on the main avenue downtown. Sheets of plywood covered the broken windows of the red three-story building. A banner reading “prevent, rescue, assist” hung above the entrance. A middle-aged woman with a graying pixie haircut and an incandescent smile introduced herself as Tanya. The incongruity between her circumstances and her disposition became ever more pronounced as she recounted her troubles. She worked as a cleaning lady in a house that had been bombed the previous day. “I’m about to haul some bricks,” she said, her eyes sparkling. “Tidy things up.” She’d come to the fire station in search of food. Two days earlier, a Russian air strike had obliterated a community center where city employees and local volunteers had been distributing humanitarian aid.

“Now there’s nothing here,” Tanya said.

A volley of rockets whistled overhead and slammed to earth nearby, pulverizing con

Ah, a favorite M$M technique: The Snippet. And one that SECOND likes to exploit endlessly.

"Them"?

Who (or what) "them"?

Ukrainian women and children?

Western neocons and warhawks?

Fleas?

Bad shoes?

It's not clear who Medvedev is talking about, or even if he's talking about anything living. But the media just loves them some out-of-context phrases that they can interpret endlessly, and SECOND can quote them endlessly for his propaganda war.

At least Medvedev didn't say he was willing to genocide the entire globe "down to the last 100". Now THAT would have been truly horrific.

Sorry to tell you, but Putin threatened to nuke the world. All he really did is show he is lacking in social grace when dealing with other countries that are more prosperous than Russia -- nuclear armed countries such as France for example. In case you don't understand, France has never threatened to nuke anybody for any reason, unlike Russia which keeps saying many times a month that it will nuke anybody anywhere anytime over any disagreement.

In response to being caught with a totally out-of-context snippet, what does SECOND reply with?

Yep! ANOTHER out-of-context snippet!

Man, SECOND, you just don't quit.
You don't learn either, do you?

Why don't you go back like a good boy and bring here the ENTIRE CONTEXT of what Putin has said? At least make an attempt to LOOK like you're being honest, OK?

It is NOT out of context when Putin says he will nuke the world. I would have to use google translate to see how many Russian words it takes to say "I shall nuke the world" but I'm pretty sure it qualifies as a snippet. The words Putin said before or after he threatened to nuke the world will add no context whatsoever. Putin does not know how to behave in polite company without making death threats to everyone at the party. I bet Putin doesn't get invited to many social occasions outside of Russia.

A lesson in courage from Ukraine – July 25, 2022 – The Christian Science Monitor


From left to right, Anastasia Pryhoda, age 15, Yana Stepanenko, age 11, and Kateryna lorgu, age 12, have each faced the trials of war head-on.

Nelson Mandela once said, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.”

As a rock climber and war correspondent, the Monitor’s Scott Peterson knows about conquering fear. “When things get difficult,” Scott told me by phone from Kyiv, Ukraine, “it’s important to focus on the job at hand. That doesn’t leave room for fear or doubt.”

Last month, Scott met with three brave girls who were wounded in the Ukraine war. Each exhibits her own kind of resilience and courage.

Yana Stepanenko, age 11, lost both legs in an airstrike. She struggles with memories of the attack and quietly alternates between despair and hope for her future. Kateryna Iorgu, age 12, lost her mother, and her legs were injured in another Russian bombing. She’s walking now, sometimes with crutches, and resolutely rehabbing. And there’s 15-year-old Anastasia Pryhoda.

She drove dozens of carloads of wounded or older Ukrainians to safety. But her rescue missions ended abruptly in May after Russian soldiers opened fire on her car, hitting Anastasia four times.

“She was clearly aware of the dangers and risks and yet able to compartmentalize it and focus on the task at hand,” says Scott, noting that she continued driving for several kilometers while wounded.

As a journalist, Scott says he has to demonstrate courage in bursts. “But most of these girls aren’t leaving the war zone. They’re still living here. I just need to sustain my composure until I leave,” he says.

In late February, many Ukrainians were surprised and inspired by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s open defiance of Russia. His willingness to stay at significant personal risk was also central to the global outpouring of support. “It is breathtaking to witness actual courage. It’s even more breathtaking when that courage is both moral and physical,” wrote conservative American columnist David French on Feb. 27 in The Dispatch. “[Mr. Zelenskyy’s] not just speaking against evil, he’s quite literally standing against evil.”

Today it’s Ukrainians such as Anastasia who are taking a stand. She tells Scott that she intends to go to the Ukrainian military academy. “I could see her in 10 years leading a company of Ukrainian soldiers. She is a self-starter, assertive, and sharp,” says Scott.

Anastasia’s story reminds me of the Fearless Girl statue on Wall Street, hands on hips, staring down a charging bull. In Anastasia’s case, it’s a charging Russian bear. And she’s not backing down.

Thank you for proving everything I've been saying for 2 years, mudblood.

Good luck with your shots. At least we know you didn't have any children so you couldn't sign them up to be experimented on.

Ukraine is not alone. Georgia vis-à-vis Russia:

Georgian president denounces Russia’s attempts to annex Georgian territories

Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili on Monday denounced a series of attempts by Russia to annex Georgian territories located in the breakaway region of Abkhazia.

The authorities of Abkhazia, pro-Russian, approved last week the transfer to the territory of the Russian Federation of an official residence and its surrounding territories in the city of Pitsunda, in the northwest of Georgia, on the shores of the Black Sea.

According to President Zourabichvili, this decision of the Abkhazian authorities constitutes "a form of annexation of Georgian territory by Russia", and she has denounced a "continuous occupation" in the region.

"I strongly condemn it and call on the international community to react strongly to this," Zourabichvili said on her profile on the social network Twitter.

Georgia and Russia had a brief war over South Ossetia and the Abkhazia region in 2008. After the conflict ended, Moscow, whose forces prevailed, recognized both regions as independent nations, although the vast majority of countries have not.

Didja ever notice how different ethnic groups have different name endings? Serbian names end in -ian or (more often) -yan. Lithuania names end in -itis, and Georgian names end in -villi.
