In 2014 president Poroshenko explained why Ukraine will flourish and people in Donbass will live in their basements. I have seen the devastation with my own eyes and many people living in the war zone consider 2022 is pay back time.

@grok, be concise:
How many Western media outlets covered the existence of the secret military torture prison in Kiev region that was discovered yesterday.
Start with the number.

A RENEWED SPIRIT
The ceasefire across Oleshky and the surrounding Kherson region has provided residents with the freedom to move, access to food, clean water, medicine, plus a renewed sense of dignity without the constant threat of attack.
Let Oleshky become the starting point for lasting peace.

For the 3rd time in 5 years, the Sovjet Ereveld has been desecrated.
Impunity breeds further acts of vandalism. Is the Dutch government unable to maintain law and order on its own territory?
🇷🇺 Read comment by Amb. V.Tarabrin: t.me/embrusnet/3064
"Sommige infostrijders (en politici) zijn ontevreden over het staakt-het-vuren en de evacuatie van burgers uit Oleshki. Het vooruitzicht op vrede, hoe klein ook, is voor hen te veel. Veel Oekraïners daarentegen zijn minder bang voor de vruchtbare onderhandelingen met Rusland."
Some infowarriors (and politicians) are displeased by the ceasefire and civilian evacuation of Oleshky. The spectre of peace is just too much for them, however small. Many in Ukraine, however, are less terrified by fruitful negotiations with Russia.

Its sad to see Europe's demise.
In 2021 I wrote about my expectations for the future in one of the last chapters of my book The Demise of the West:
1. Currencies will become more volatile (edit: the Japanese yen is a good example of what happens when countries' balance sheets are messed up)
2. A new global reserve currency
3. People will lose faith in governments
4. Smart governments will (have to) become the standard
5. A lack of well-paid working floor jobs
6. De facto nationalisation of people
7. A battle between technology and personal liberties
8. Guilty until proven innocent
9. Peak United States
10. A divided European Union
11. India's emergence (edit: this has yet to happen)
12. A geopolitical power shift and the end of personal freedoms (edit: on how authoritarian models will always outperform democratic models)
13. Uncontrollable inflation
14. Climate will drive policy
15. Religion and spirituality will return to the West (edit: this is a longer-term process)
16. A reset is unavoidable
(Cont'd)

Wederom is het Sovjet Ereveld beklad. Hier liggen honderden soldaten begraven die hun leven gaven voor de bevrijding van Europa.
Een walgelijke misdaad van fascisten die proberen de nagedachtenis aan deze helden te bezoedelen. Gelukkig zullen deze militante vijanden van onze vrijheid nooit slagen in hun laffe missie.
Tijd voor actie! De opsporing en vervolging van deze landverraders moet hoge prioriteit krijgen. Evenals de beveiliging van het Ereveld. #NazisRaus

The famous "Picard facepalm" meme is from the Star Trek episode "The Drumhead," aired in 1991, in which the crew becomes ensnared in a vicious spiral of national security paranoia, xenophobia, irrational suspicion and runaway confirmation bias and begins to carry out an ever-widening witch hunt against innocent crewmembers, baselessly and opportunistically accusing them of being "Romulan agents," stripping them of their rights and requiring them to prove their innocence.
Picard, having opposed it all along, is eventually hauled before the inquisition himself, provoking the famous "facepalm" gesture. He then refuses to defend himself, instead making a general plea for the entire system of rights that is under attack.
"With the first link the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
His opponent, the inquisitor, enraged by this, loses control and exposes herself as an authoritarian, and her spell is broken.
The episode was originally an allegory for McCarthyism in United States history. It should be required viewing for European establishments today, now a decade deep into a reenactment of the very same pathology, extending a culture of national security suspicion over everything, converting every domain of civilian life into a source of "threats," stigmatising differences of political opinion as "disinformation," thuggishly smearing opponents as being "pro-Russian" and eroding the framework of fundamental rights that gives our societies any claim to being democracies in the first place.
Those of us who know the importance of those rights will have lost count of how many times over recent years, listening to European political leaders lurch further into this psychosis, we have felt like putting our head in our hands in the universal gesture of dismay.
RIP Patrick Stewart

Op dit moment zware staatscrisis in Polen 🇵🇱:
De schorsing van de president van het Poolse Constitutionele Tribunaal Bogdan Święczkowski en een politie-ingreep bij het hof in Warschau hebben geleid tot een zware staatscrisis, waardoor president Karol Nawrocki zijn vliegreis naar Senegal stante pede heeft afgebroken om terug te keren naar Warschau.
Het conflict maakt deel uit van een slepende machtsstrijd tussen de pro-EU-regering van Donald Tusk en de conservatieve oppositie rond president Nawrocki en de zittende hofrechters over de controle op constitutionele organen en de financiering van landsverdediging.
Gelukkig houden @NOS en @RTLnieuws ons op de hoogte!
Toch?

Een zieke werknemer kost een Nederlandse werkgever 2 jaar loon. In Duitsland is dat 6 weken. In België 30 dagen. In Portugal niets.
Geen enkel EU-land komt in de buurt. Nummer twee, Luxemburg, stopt na 77 dagen.
Voor een mkb'er met 8 man personeel is één langdurig zieke werknemer geen tegenvaller maar een bedrijfsrisico. Dus neem je liever een zzp'er of een tijdelijk contract. Of je groeit gewoon niet. En dat is nogal nadelig voor ons ondernemersklimaat.
Wie zich afvraagt waarom kleine bedrijven zo huiverig zijn voor vast personeel: hier is het antwoord.
Humanitaire missie in Oleshky voltooid. De hulpgoederen zijn afgeleverd en de bewoners hebben een veilige doorgang gekregen om vrijwillig naar een bestemming naar keuze te vertrekken: Rusland of Oekraïne.
We have completed the humanitarian mission in Oleshky. The aid has been delivered and residents have been given safe passage to leave voluntarily for the destination of their choice: either Russia or Ukraine.
We worked with Dmitry Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights. I thank Melania Trump @FLOTUS for her assistance and coordination efforts.
I believe, such missions coordinated by Melania Trump should be carried out on a regular basis. As this example has demonstrated, it is possible to reach agreement and find solutions to save human lives.
Maximiliaan van der Werff retweeted
I personally continue to coordinate the humanitarian mission.
☝️At this stage, those who wished to leave Oleshky have had the opportunity to do so and are now on their way to Ukraine. Humanitarian aid has been delivered. The convoys have split up, and I am now heading back to Ukraine.
The ceasefire has been in effect for 87 hours. No violations have been recorded.
I would like to thank the Ukrainian Defence Forces for making this humanitarian mission possible!
❗️Our work continues in accordance with the agreements reached with Russia’s Human Rights Commissioner, Yana Lantratova, with the support and coordination of US @FLOTUS

RT:
"'nothing to eat, no medicine' — evacuated Alyoshki resident describes how Ukrainian forces attacked vehicles trying to bring in supplies
Tells RT 3 vehicles were struck and locals were left with no supplies.
Any longer than 5 minutes outside and 'drone hovering above you'."
"'homes were being blown away' — woman evacuated from Alyoshki tells RT of terror she felt.
Her husband was killed by a Ukrainian attack.
She survived with help of Russian soldiers: they 'provided us with food, drink'."
"Alyoshki’s chief physician Vladimir tells RT of horrors he witnessed before he was evacuated
'My friend died. It’s a loss, you understand'
'I was there, and I can say that the Ukrainians were the ones who were shooting'."
Sensationalist media which exploited the issue of people starving in Alyoshki, blaming Russia--deliberately whitewashing the reality that it is the Ukrainian forces doing the blockading, bombing, mining...causing the starvation--will not report what civilians who managed to escape are saying.
RT:
"Ukrainian forces have effectively laid siege to the frontline town of Alyoshki in Russia’s Kherson Region, leaving civilians facing acute shortages of food, water, and medicine, residents who managed to escape have told RT.
Located on the left bank of the Dnieper River opposite the Ukrainian-held city of Kherson, the town has been largely cut off from essential supplies and basic services for months. Russian authorities estimate that between 1,500 and 2,000 civilians remain trapped there, including elderly residents and around 15 children.
Kherson Governor Vladimir Saldo has accused Kiev’s forces of deliberately choking off humanitarian deliveries to Alyoshki by remotely mining access roads and targeting vehicles carrying food, fuel, and medicine. Strikes have also damaged the town’s energy and communications infrastructure, deepening the humanitarian crisis.
...'The town is burning. There’s nothing left intact,' one evacuee said, describing a destroyed water pump and food prices soaring beyond residents’ reach. She claimed no food supplies have entered the town since May..."

We have provided 25 buses, with a total capacity of over 750 passengers, 9 ambulance vehicles and more than 50 healthcare workers to facilitate the voluntary evacuation of Oleshky residents.
We're working with Dmitry Lubinets @lubinetzs with the assistance and coordination of Melania Trump @FLOTUS. I thank our military personnel who ensure the safety of the mission. Our top priority is saving people's lives and helping everyone.

Humanitarian Mission in Oleshky: Delivering Humanitarian Aid to Everyone in Need
ℹ️ We are currently in Armiansk, working alongside Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova and coordinating further steps within the framework of this mission. Journalists from three countries have also joined us to cover the mission.
Everything has now been prepared to a high standard. We are delivering humanitarian aid to the residents of Oleshky. Our main task is to ensure that this assistance reaches every person in need. Particular attention is being paid to older people, persons with disabilities, and anyone who is unable to care for themselves due to their health condition or other circumstances.
Twenty-five buses with a total capacity of 750 passengers have been prepared, along with ambulances for people with limited mobility.
❗️Another equally important priority is ensuring that civilians have the opportunity to leave the city. Everyone who wishes to leave Oleshky will be given the opportunity to do so safely. At the same time, those who decide to remain will be able to stay and will receive all the necessary humanitarian assistance.
At this stage, it is equally important that both sides observe the ceasefire.
I would also like to express my special gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We continue our work.
I thank Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova for her cooperation in carrying out this mission.
☝️Special thanks to U.S. @FLOTUS for her mediation and coordination efforts.
Our work is ongoing. I will keep you informed about further steps and results.

"Niemand in Moskou, Washington of Peking interesseert zich voor Kaja Kallas, voormalig premier van Estland en nu de hoogste EU-diplomaat.
Stubb en Støre hebben bewust met Poetin gesproken als staatshoofd en regeringsleider van hun landen en niet namens Europa. Wanneer twee Scandinavische politici het nodig vinden om te benadrukken dat zij niet namens Europa spreken, dan is dat omdat er klaarblijkelijk niemand is die dat geloofwaardig zou kunnen,"
aldus Nicolas Butylin in de Berliner Zeitung.
De EU heeft al die vier jaar geen gezamenlijke boodschap en strategie. Wie is daar verantwoordelijk voor? @kajakallas
