When you hear Putin say Russia "strives for friendship and co-operation with all peoples on Earth", remember what that looks like in reality.
Ukraine will always stand against Russian "friendship and co-operation", so that no more European cities look like this.πΊπ¦π‘οΈ

All weβre asked is to cough up some pocket change to Ukraine.
But instead we wait until the price gets way higher when WE will be under attack.

But the doctor never spoke about rebel chlorine stocks at Russia's cynically choreographed "press conference." Why? Because Moscow decided to run with a different disinformation narrative, namely that no attack ever occurred in Douma, and the whole thing was "staged" by rebels and the White Helmets.

I am old enough to remember people in the West and especially college students, actually giving a damn about Darfur. Now, nobody gives a shit. I have no idea why, it's not like there is a legal limit on the number of conflicts and massacres one can care about, Gaza or Ukraine are not an excuse.

Some are trying to defend Sachs by appealing to democratic debate. But that's a red herring. The debate shouldn't include unadulterated lies such as "the CIA paid to overthrow Yanukovych". Historical debate on WWII does not include Holocaust denial for a good reason.
