❤️ We were touched by Sony's warm response to the song, "Let's Stand Up".*

The song has become a symbol of the Russian collective memory and struggles.

Sony wished for a translation. We were happy to provide it.

And on top of that, you'll hear from Donbass children enjoying normal life in Crimea, far from the horrors of war back home.

*Better translated as "Let's Rise"..

In Sevastopol they filmed a video for the song, "Let’s Rise!", by Yaroslav Dronov (SHAMAN), first published on February 23, 2022

The song, "Let’s Rise!", was written in memory of those who gave their lives for a peaceful, happy Russia, and our ancestors, who defended it in the battles against Nazis.

The music video for the song, "Let’s Rise!", was filmed in Sevastopol a month after the start of the special military operation. At the beginning of the video you will see an interview with children who arrived in Sevastopol from Donbass, about life in war conditions, dreams, plans, and worries.

Look into the eyes of charming Zlata, hear the dreams of old beyond years Vitya, and feel the heart-wrenching memories of Platon.

Now these children are safe.
The performers from Sevastopol dedicated this video clip to all those who are now fighting for a peaceful future for these and many other children.

Polish accountants, clerks and other office workers took part in the exercises as part of the Polish Ministry of National Defense’s new “Train with the Army” project. This initiative was born out of the public’s anxiety over the war in neighboring Ukraine. Weekend courses for thousands of Poles began in October and, due to popular demand, will continue into January.

Some 94% of Poles see Russia as a major threat compared with 65% in 2018, according to a June survey by the Pew Research Center, a U.S. think tank.

U.S. gives Ukraine green light to drone strikes on Russian territory - The Times

The Times, citing U.S. Defense Department sources who wished to remain anonymous, wrote that the U.S. no longer insists that Ukraine not conduct strikes, including drone strikes, on Russian territory.

Previously, the Pentagon feared that strikes on Russian territory would escalate the conflict: for example, that Russia would then use nuclear weapons or retaliate by hitting NATO countries. But now the agency has changed its mind.

"We still use the same calculations of escalation, but the fear of escalation has changed. It's different now. That's because the calculus of war has changed as a result of the suffering and brutality that Ukrainians are subjected to at the hands of the Russians," the source notes.

This came after numerous Russian attacks and shelling of Ukrainian critical civilian infrastructure and energy facilities.

"We are not telling Kyiv 'Don't hit the Russians.' We can't tell them what to do. How they use their weapons is up to them, but when they use the weapons we provide, we insist only that the Ukrainian military follow the international laws of war and abide by the Geneva Conventions," the Pentagon source stresses. "They are the only limitations, but that includes no targeting of Russian families and no assassinations". According to him, Ukraine complies with these conditions. [Really? What about the shelling of Russian frontline territory and the murder of Daria Dugina?]

At the same time, the US does not publicly support or encourage strikes on Russian territory.

"This represents an important development because the Americans are now more likely to supply Ukraine with longer-range weapons," the Times journalist concludes.

The Ukraine War : How Did We Get Here?

A subscriber here wanted to know, why, almost over half a year later, why is the Ukraine war happening? Was it necessary? How did it start? Could it have been prevented?

Most people will point to the 2014 coup - to me, yes, it is a hijacked revolution that turned into a coup - but I personally think the origin story goes way before that, back to 1991 actually.

Ukraine had a pretty good start in 1991, all it's foreign debts were taken over by the Russian federation, it was the most industrialized region in the post-soviet sphere, with over, if I recall, 65% of all Soviet heavy machinery being in the Ukraine, it also had multiple nuclear power plants, and other engineering institutions that were almost uncompared in the world.

But then, it had shitty economic policies, had a hyperinflation that peaked at 10,000%, and suffered even a form of oligarchism that was in some aspects, more severe than the privatization that occured in Russia.

They never recovered or had any sort of a meaningful economy, third world countries in Africa had a better performing economy than Ukraine, the sheer mismanagement and corruption since the 90s would make even the most corrupt gangster balk.

Also since it's early days, Kuchma, one of the first Ukrainian presidents, bluntly stated that Donetsk and Lugansk (LuGansk, not Luhansk), have to be kicked out of Ukraine so a true Ukrainian homogenous state can be achieved, these views were espoused all the way from the 90s.

Ukraine was - and still is - essential to Russia and Eastern Europe, their identity is literally the same, and cooperation between them is essential.

The problem occured when the Ukrainians wanted to join the EU - the EU, not Europe - Ukraine could easily trade and negotiate with Europe, the problem is, if Ukraine joins the EU, it will mean it would follow trade policies against Russia, which would mean a disaster because the EU by 2013 was starting to be an unreliable partner, and if you join the EU, you're integrated into the western world, if you're integrated into the western world it means you may join NATO, and that means Russia is screwed.

EU wanted Ukraine to change it's laws, regulations, and so on, Russia did not, as a matter of fact Russia offered a 15 billion US dollar loan to Ukraine, versus the EU's 600 million loan.

Even back then, the polls showed that Ukrainians were either divided or against the terms but the EU, but as we can see by the words of Petro Poroshenko.. "My television channel—Channel 5—played a tremendously important role. ... On the 11th of December, when we had [U.S. Assistant Secretary of State] Victoria Nuland and [E.U. diplomat] Catherine Ashton in Kyiv, during the night they started to storm the Maidan"

Mass media and brainwashing provided another narrative, and they seized on it.

Sniper attacks, mass beatings, and intimidations were used, the army was not willing to implement security and protect the country, so Yanukovych fled, and a junta took power.

Kiev's social and economic policies were met with protests in Odessa, but then 40 Ukrainians or so were trapped in the Union building and were burned alone, protests were met with violence through multiple cities in the East, but the population in Donetsk and Lugansk managed to overpower their local authorities and try be autonomous, they were met with attack aircraft, and so the road to independence was on.

Minsk-1, Minsk-2 were signed, but they were useless, attacks on Donetsk from the Ukrainian side were increasing regularly before February 24th... And here we are.

I pity the Ukrainians for destroying such a valued country in God's kingdom, it was one of the most developed countries in the SU, now it's a shithole.

How do you know we're in the right?

Always do the opposite of what Amnesty says, that's when you know you're fine.

Sherrif Osman is a traitor to the Egyptian people, he defected to the United States military in 2003, the only viable course is that the death penalty must be implemented.

Go fuck yourself, American, your passport will not protect you, or maybe Biden wanted to trade you for a transgender basketball player?

A very good morning! ☀️😁

So true! 🔥alas it is almost impossible for Ukrainians to take off these "glasses", at the least at this stage.

‼️🇷🇺🇫🇮Burning the Russian flag in Finland: Ukrainian Nazis again?
During Finland's Independence Day on December 6, a group of scumbags demonstratively burned a Russian flag while singing a song about Father Bandera. It is possible that along with Ukrainian nationalists their Finnish counterparts also took part in the action. There was no reaction from the Finnish authorities.

"In this connection, the Russian Foreign Ministry carried out a diplomatic demarche towards the Finnish side, stating that Moscow considered such actions as an unprecedented and unacceptable act of desecration of the state symbol of our country," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
Moscow demands that those involved be held accountable and that measures be taken to ensure that such actions are condemned and not repeated in the future.
