Russian suppression of Ukrainian nationalist sentiment, Vladimir Putin’s new war on history, and that time when the KGB came knocking on her door… and asked her out on a date.
Today’s, so it doesn’t yet have the text article. I heard part of it in the car. She’s digging through the soviet era documents of the KGB, NKVD…
I wonder, does Putin have some Anti-Monuments Men in Ukraine?
Putin’s tendrils reach deep. It is very important that the west come together to help Germany free itself of reliance on Russian oil as soon as possible.
It has been a very long time since he was an actual “journalist.”
Yep.
Almost 20 years go, when the stories were breaking about Abu Ghraib, a few mothers of soldiers were interviewed, and their indignation was recorded. The videos were nothing their children could possibly be involved in, it would seem.
One of the most chilling bits of commentary in that discussion came from a Vietnam veteran who wrote an open letter to these mothers. It included the haunted and haunting line “I did lots of things I never told to my mother.”
Jesus fucking christ. How does someone become such a stooge? Serious question.
One “edgy” thinkpiece at a time.
By going far too deeply into “my enemy’s enemy is my friend” and never questioning their own biases.
I remember reading that Greenwald is an isolationist conservative who has been working for years to build an alliance between the isolationist right and the “anti-imperialist” left (which recognises only one country as “imperialist”).
The minister’s statement suggests sanctions, although not directly targeting Russia’s oil industry, are beginning to bite. With lower sales due to the sanctions, Russia may soon need to start shutting down wells because it is running out of storage space, and new facilities are being built with haste.
The limited storage capacity has been a problem for a while but has only come into the spotlight now that Russian oil cargos are being shunned by Western buyers. According to the International Energy Agency, Western sanctions could reduce Russian exports by some 3 million barrels daily this quarter.
This would mean a 3-million-bpd shortfall in global supply with no immediate replacement. Also, if fuel exports are included, the shortfall could become even greater, as OPEC’s secretary-general warnedthe EU this week during talks in Vienna.
Somehow I doubt TASS mentions that their campist champion is a gay man. I’m equally sure that the kapo thinks this is a great way to build his career.
He’s making his move to OAN at the best possible moment!
Going by how history repeats itself, an unarmed fishing boat probably carried out that attack.

On Wednesday night, activists projected the Ukrainian flag onto the Russian Embassy building. The embassy has been cloaked in the Russian flag’s white, red and blue stripes. Then the small Ukrainian flag appeared. The staff apparently rushed to try and wash out the projection with a white spotlight, and that’s when things got funny.
