On Feb 14h, Dmitry #Peskov, the #Russian Presidential Press Secretary said:
“A special military operation began against #Ukraine. Over time, it took the form of a war against the collective #West. This is a war when the countries of the collective West, led by the United States, are directly involved in the conflict. Yes, this may lead to the fact that the operation will take a little longer, but cannot change the course of things,”
#Russia's occupation of #Ukraine amounts to a deliberate ethnic cleansing campaign that relies on a strategy of forced depopulation and repopulation, creating the façade of multigenerational and irreversible impacts intended to further isolate Ukraine from the #West.
When #Israel does that kind of project, that kind of announcement, and dare to materialize it - mass bombing, mass killing, mass destruction, mass starvation, mass flooding... - it can't be denied it's the "terrorist" one & it's committing a #genocide. What #west is doing is to participate. None of these politicians, these governments, has any credibility. They should be ashamed of themselves. Disgust is all what they can inspire. I don't even know how they can listen to themselves.
"A plan to provide more artillery shells to #Ukraine by having #Japan send munitions to #Britain has stalled, underscoring the challenge the #West faces in increasing #Kyiv’s stocks of the much-needed ammunition."
“The ICJ case shows how western logic is wearing thin and its persuasive power waning in a multipolar world.
The significance of the fact that the country bringing the case is South Africa – an icon of the ravages of colonialism, settlement and apartheid – cannot be lost on anyone.
It symbolises a vast racial injustice, too raw and recent to be dismissed as ancient history.” #ICJ #West #Colonialism #Racism https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/15/israel-trial-south-africa-icj-palestine
#Kyiv needs more of everything, including air defense ammunition, artillery shells, tanks, and long-range missiles (such as the Army Tactical Missile System, or #ATACMS) to continue targeting Russian bases in #Crimea. So far, the #West has provided most of what Ukraine has asked for, but much more slowly and in much smaller quantities than necessary.
I attribute #Navalny death to #congress inaction to fund #ukraine . #putin is obviously encouraged because the #west does nothing about Putin's transgressions. The violations will grow in scope and scale until Putin is stopped. Every kick of the Putin can down the road results in another escalation by Putin. Putin wants to re-partition Eastern #Europe and central #asia . We might feel indifferent. After we have compromised our way of life, we will feel pain.

Quality of life -- for both humanity and the planet itself -- involves freedom from the credence that it's unreasonable to expect ALL people to treat other people, and the resources of this planet, with respect, dignity, and honor.
As long as there are rulers, neither humanity nor the planet will benefit.

#West whose institutions are ravaged by #capitalist lobbies, military #warmongers & sadistic #politicians is irrelevant when reprimanding others. This whole polemic is pure #fascism. Nothing else.
