Children in #Crimea forced to write "thank you" letters to the military occupiers from #Russia invading their country #Ukraine and committing atrocities on their relatives and fellow Ukrainians.
China, still bitter over 百年国耻, its century of humiliation, has not forgotten that the imperialist #colonial power that took the most land from it was Russia
And now, with a few desperate, obsequious hugs from the downtrodden mafia ghoul Putin, #Xi takes it all back, and heck of a lot more
there is also the issue that Navalny's widow was invited to the #StateoftheUnion
Olena cannot be in the same room as Yulia
in the West we celebrate #Navalny, and we should, for opposing #Putin
but we must understand the #Ukrainian perspective: Navalny shared the same #Russian#ethnofascist views that animate support for Putin mass murdering Ukrainians
we should champion Navalny for defying Putin, but we must not forget he also had in him the malice of Russian #imperialism
