Ofc i can tell you, it was posted/linked in the daily ukraine topic in reddit worldnews.
I clearly specified it could be a troll tweet, maybe it's not: the guy write some stuff in russia about this "tradition".

I'm posting serious and sometimes less serious stuff, everyone do that here.

Yea, nothing to worry about.

If you say so.

In peacetime, Alexander Zhugan and his non-binary partner Antonina Romanova worked in the Kiev theater. When the war began, they decided to join the territorial defense and went to the front line near Nikolaev.

Oleksandr and Antonina talked about what the unicorn patch on their uniform means and how LGBTQ soldiers are treated in Ukraine.

Hmm what you means ? That it is not a "tradition" ?

On reading this - basically India is open for Business with their ally, Russia, but they are trying to figure out a way to get around US sanctions and come to an agreement that is beneficial to both countries while not provoking the wrath of the US - ergo, a balancing act. Russia remains India's largest supplier of military hardware. The position India has taken re: the war, is to call for a cease fire (remember the US has stated it does not want a cease fire) and has sensibly abstained from voting in UN resolutions on the matter (noting its not sensible to condemn your critical trade partner). And besides, Europe does more trade in energy with Russia (even now) then India does, so its a bit rich to be giving out to India.

The US has broadly tolerated India's behavior with limited blow back.



this is propaganda whatever way anyone looks at it. normal in times of war of course.

TLDR first 30 mins: Isolating Russia on the international stage was a terrible idea for a variety of reasons.

(i) Forcing Russia to be independent of the West, means Russia is now becoming independent of the West forever. Agriculture sanctions against Russia? Russia adapted by investing in agriculture and is now a major Agriculture exporter.
(ii) The Cost of Living crisis in the US (and in Europe and around the World) is directly associated with the Sanctions Imposed and the disruption of supply chains undertaken by the US (and we all know who blew up NS2).
(iii) Sending "Aid" to Ukraine, but expecting Ukraine to pay back all this Aid, is not aid. Ukraine has sold all of its assets to the US to fund this "Aid".
(iv) Not having an exit strategy in Ukraine, and having Ukraine fight to the last man, is literally going to break Ukraine.

thats enough of that video for now.

(and ofc, link removed )

Also, any german viewers, there is a challenge here that Merkel was misquoted in the western narrative re: Minsk. German readers are invited to fact check the original german transcript in this regard. i.e. that in retrospect it gave Ukraine time, but that it was not agreed in bad faith at the time.

...both speakers are over 50 so everything they say may be deemed irrelevant in some areas
