Russia is our neighbor. A dangerous, unpredictable neighbor. The idea of weakening Russia militarily, politically and economically so that it can no longer pose a threat to us is an attitude that dates back to the 19th century. It lays the foundation for further conflicts

The Kremlin has laundered $2.5 billion of African gold since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, according to a report by an international group of researchers and human rights activists published on Dec. 12.
Russia's illicit activities and ties to authoritarian regimes in Africa have been under the public eye for years. Russian mercenaries on the continent, whose operations help to fill Moscow's coffers, have been repeatedly accused of human rights abuses against local populations.
The Blood Gold Report reveals that Russia-backed mercenaries, including the Wagner Company, support authoritarian regimes and destabilization in Africa as part of resource extraction schemes that bring Russia more than $100 million per month.
The research focused on Wagner's operations in three African countries, each illustrating a different method of resource extraction.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban did not give President Volodymyr Zelensky an answer when asked why Budapest wants to block Ukraine's entry into the EU, Zelensky said at the Nordic-Ukraine Summit in Oslo on Dec. 13.
"I asked him to tell me one reason, not three, five, 10, tell me one reason" as to why talks should not begin, Zelensky said at the press conference in Oslo. "I'm still waiting for (an) answer."

Senator Chris Murphy, said he wished Republicans weren't holding further aid to Ukraine hostage to immigration reform as military assistance to both Kyiv and Israel continues to get held up in Congress.
"Vladimir Putin is delighting right now in Republicans' insistence that we get a deal on immigration reform and if we don't, then they're gonna allow Vladimir Putin to march into Ukraine and perhaps into Europe."
Murphy also said that this is a "crisis moment for Ukraine" as the country is rapidly running out of ammunition.

Pistorius also rejected the notion that the West does not want to see a full Ukrainian victory on the battlefield, saying that "we should be more afraid that Russia will win this war," in part because Germany will be faced "with a completely new security situation."
The West's responsibility is "to create a situation on the battlefield, in the war, that Putin realizes that he cannot win this war - and that is why he comes to the negotiating table."

Um bom artigo do Nuno Félix. No entanto, acho que todos devíamos citar o Gen. Carl von Clausewitz para os apaziguadores dos fascistas russos e apologistas da "paz":
"O invasor é sempre o amigo da paz, pois ele preferiria de ocupar o nosso país sem encontrar resistência."

If fascist #russia arrests their own citizens who ask for #peace, what do you think #PutinWarCriminal wants?
Peace or #war?
Right, so please STOP asking democratic countries for "peace", and "peace negotiations".
The russians are in this out of fascist hatred and want to kill all Ukrainians. They will not stop by negotiation or with a naïve charm offensive.
They can only be stopped on the battlefield in #Ukraine

Russian police arrest in few seconds a girl with a sign saying only "two words" and, by mistake, even a pro-Putinwar girl. When Russians rebel against Putin, it will always be too late

From a friend/colleague who (barely) escaped Russia, as the "special operation" (AKA "genocide by Putin") began. Now in Ukraine.
And as today there are Trump-like disinformation rallies celebrating the great successes, defending against *Ukrainian Nazis" and handing out food and flowers to the Ukrainian civilians (the official picture being painted via their Fox-like version of official "news")
