Germany Hopes to Outrace a Russian Gas Cutoff and Bone Cold Winter

Thanks to their government's economic war on Russia, German "landlords, schools and municipalities have begun to lower thermostats, ration hot water, close swimming pools, turn off air-conditioners, dim streetlights and exhort the benefits of cold showers"

Europe’s largest economy and key energy hub still depends on gas supplies now ensnared in conflict. Here’s how Germany is preparing and what is at stake.

Kononovich brothers thank supporters as trial resumes in Ukraine

The Kononovich brothers, communist youth leaders & anti fascists, thanked supporters as their show trial resumed in Ukraine.

But appeals for Western media and MEPs to attend hearings so they can see the ugly truth of the Zelensky regime have fallen flat.

Never knew Reality Winner was commended by the Air Force for her role in the killing of 600 Pashto, Dari and Farsi speaking “enemies.”

Interesting that Russiagate, and not the remote killing of masses of strangers, prompted her to become a whistleblower.

This is how they find separatists.

They find random people and set them on fire with a blow torch until their skin melts.

NATO’s DC think tank has criticized the Zelensky’s insincere exploitation of social issues, noting that a year after he campaigned on tolerance for sexual diversity, his party formed an anti-gay caucus and introduced laws against “gay propaganda”

Today’s Ukraine finds itself in an increasingly homophobic neighborhood with a president whose approach to LGBTQ issues has so far failed to match his liberal rhetoric on the subject.

My eyes must be deceiving me.
A mainstream reporter from Sky News just took five minutes to destroy Zelensky and the war mongers provoking him.
He just exposed his connection to the nazi Azov Battalion, his banning of free speech, his crimes, and fame whoring.

Israel’s friends struggle to justify unprovoked attack that killed 17 children

Israel lobbyist celebrates that “the attention of the media which at the end of the day is the tool that allocates information to the public, to the world, was not in Israel, was not in Gaza,” when Israel killed 16 kids in the besieged Palestinian enclave

Israel’s supporters are crowing that the Gaza attack was successful, but these advocates have blinded themselves to the moral dimension of such awful force.
