Riddick3001@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•EU rejects Russian ceasefire demand for sanctions relief111·4 months agoIt’s the only way forward. Adelante!
Riddick3001@lemmy.worldOPto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•North Korean leader reaffirms support for Russia's war in Ukraine in talks with top official11·4 months agoAlright. And yes, I wasn’t too fond of Yoyager personally. I prefer Jerboa.
Riddick3001@lemmy.worldOPto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•North Korean leader reaffirms support for Russia's war in Ukraine in talks with top official21·4 months agoIf I may ask: Why do you think Russia is winning. And why the focus on China in this context?
Riddick3001@lemmy.worldOPto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•North Korean leader reaffirms support for Russia's war in Ukraine in talks with top official21·4 months agoWell yes. China is playing the long quiet game, it’s part of their strategy. They look for opportunities to see how they can take advantage.
Still, this doesn’t acquit China of being co-instigator or co-sponsor of the Russian invasion. (ed)
Riddick3001@lemmy.worldOPto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•North Korean leader reaffirms support for Russia's war in Ukraine in talks with top official7·4 months agoI’d say China is probably aligned. Or do you mean something else?
Trump’s USA tactics and partnership changes on a daily basis. So it’s complete chaos, though it is clear Europe can not rely on that.
Riddick3001@lemmy.worldOPto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Trump administration pulls US out of body investigating Ukraine invasion6·4 months agoWe, the people, have our conclusions about the current US Administration.
And the leaders can choose between being diplomatic or lunatic. Europe normally chooses diplomacy. But the sleeping giant is arising.
Riddick3001@lemmy.worldto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Vucic vows to 'protect' Serbia from repeat of Ukraine's EuroMaidan3·4 months agoSrebrenica genocide.
Is the Bosnian Genocide widely known in Serbia, or is it being denied?
As it was the main reason that led to the U.N. resolution, which requested NATO to take action in it’s place.
Riddick3001@lemmy.worldOPto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Ukraine’s retreat from Kursk appears to mark end of audacious operation171·4 months agoUkraine did what they had they to do. It’s only commendable how fast Ukraine did it, and how long they have lasted. Now they are strategically withdrawing following the flow of war and recent events.
Also quote: " We have no wish to occupy this territory,” Zelenskyy’s aide Mykhailo Podolyak told the Guardian in late August. “Our tasks are to push Russian artillery and other systems further away, destroy the warehouses and other military infrastructure that is there, and also to affect public opinion in Russia.”
(ed): Found recently this explanation Ukraine matters YT

Yep, they will use anything any book, song, symbol, idea, technology, and appropriate it for their nefarious horrific (genocidal) ends.
Like probably many people know, the swastika was appropriated by Hitler from an ancient indo Euroasian symbol for lifeforce, happiness and sanctaty.
But yes , I agree, if that’s the point: no sane person would use that symbol or other associated ones anymore.
Because the meaning and the charge it now has. Same goes for songs and lyrics, especially in these trying sceptical times. We must remain watchful.
So no disrespect was intented, nor was it meant as glorification of fascism. I was maybe naively so, in the mindset of a United Europe atmosphere.
added: just realised that as geopolitics are changing dramatically, it does fuel a more national European sense of belonging.
This feeling triggers our Trauma with Fascism ofcourse, and invokes rational and logical fears of a fascist resurgence. Especially in the light of the extreme right. It is hard to find yourself in the position were you wish to protect and defend your way of life, culture, identity, borders, friends and family, whilst not fearing becoming a monster yourself.
We have come a long way since ww 2, and we need to defend and guard our hard earned Human Rights and equality based society, empathy, and democratic values & lifestyle, on all levels. So this goes for the individual, regional and European, and all other levels.
Riddick3001@lemmy.worldOPto [Locked] YUROP@lemm.ee•Fortress Europe Rises Against All | Europe Patriotic 2025 Song (ENG/CZ)2·4 months agoadd>“Fortress Europe” is too tightly associated with fascism
Interesting, never crossed my mind I know of the phenomena. Hell, just 100 m from where I live, entire streets & houseblocks were leveled as part of the Atlantic Walle (#1) The area was later rebuild as a large street with parks.
When I first saw the video I was sceptical because militaire propaganda is often associated with fascism. The content maker has probably the right intention but it still needs streamlining. There is another vid in his chanel that suddenly mentions China as our partner of democracy?!. So there are some weird things.

I am imagening it as something just like the requested no fly zone, from 1000 + days ago, to execute as per now or asap. Apart from all other contingencies. (*)
Riddick3001@lemmy.worldOPto Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Ukraine has firepower to fight on without US support – for now14·4 months agoHope it’s true and that Europe can provide and fill the gaps asap.
Edit; better still if US can get It’s shit together, but we can’t wait for that.

Technically, he must have several mental issues too (and he’s more deranged and unhinged than before). Saw some vids today, showing some events where he appears unable to READ.

“Protesters took to the streets in New York, Los Angeles and Boston, with hundreds gathering to express support for Ukraine and its president”

100% agreed!
We need a(n international) law against The Superrich & Oligarchs. They are socially disruptive and they wield too much uncontrolled power, which they use in their own interest, usually.
Also, unfortunately one cannot underestimate humanity’s greed, power-drunkness, jealousy, frail ego, stupidity, etc. If it’s not one morron, it’s another.
I do believe the majority of humans are OK, so hopefully we will soon get there.
