How wildly exotic, suddenly.

"My greatest dream is for my mother to be returned from [Russian] captivity. I don’t dream of anything else."

The story of Oleksandr, kidnapped by Russians during the full-scale invasion, was presented at the European Parliament.

Sasha was 11 years old when Russians abducted him from Mariupol.

"You're so crooked that if you swallowed a nail you'd shit a corkscrew"

I honestly don’t know how to comment on this. The Russian crimes in Pokrovsk physically make me sick.

They targeted the car deliberately—and didn’t stop until they murdered the civilian.

Look, world. This is what’s happening in Donetsk region.

Both things can be true at the same time

You might think that the mayor of Yellowknife, the capital of Canada's vast Northwest Territories, would be a fan of giant pickups.

Ukraine answered our call for help after the 9/11 attacks and deployed 5,000 soldiers despite not being in NATO.
18 Ukrainian soldiers perished.
Russia paid bounties to the Taliban for every US soldier they killed.
Let's not ever mistake who our friends and enemies are.

Will they discuss "possible new sanctions against Russia".. with Russia?

Putin's "Christianity" at full display: a 63-year-old pastor sentenced for preaching peace.

Nikolai Romanyuk called war a sin and urged believers to refuse the draft.

🧵For this, a Russian court sentenced him to 4 years under laws against "threats to state security."

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

It should mention which Western European cities it could hit... you know, so we reaffirm the reason we as Europeans cannot abandon Ukraine to Ruzzia.

Yep. Personally, whenever I want to find a file in Windows, I open a bash shell (WSL or Cygwin, both work) and run a 'find' command there. Many times more efficient than the abomination that is Windows search...

If I ever want to find a file in Windows, I open a bash shell (WSL or Cygwin) and look that way. Many times more efficient than the abomination that is Windows search

This is so wrong. And so corrupt. And most Americans won’t blink at it. The Justice Department does not work for the President or the Vice President. It works for the American people. It must be independent.👇

Whereas if you do this sort of stuff on Fox you get to be Secretary of Defense

When a federal judge starts a ruling about the government's actions with an extended retelling of Kafka's "The Trial," you know the state of democracy in the good old US of A is in tip-top shape 🙃

The next time you hear about the Russian Orthodox Church being persecuted in Ukraine, remember this photo.

Pretty soon we will see Russian-style evasive responses to this type of questioning - "I don't know much about politics, I have no opinion" ...

On russian military parade in Moscow russians have proudly demonstrated their "Shaheed" drones - a terror weapon which kills Ukrainian civilians daily, and which has already killed thousands of civilians, including babies, pregnant women, elderly. This is what Fico, Vucic, and others salute.

The tariff negotiations are not going well.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.
