Putin is a murderer.

They aren't just murdered. They are tortured horrifically. Don't believe anyone who says this is "just normal crime."

Amanda Platt just gave the most powerful speech I think I have ever heard, to an international audience in Washington D.C. She told her story - how she was attacked and severely beaten on a farm in South Africa, how they chanted 'Kill the Boer' while beating her, how she was saved and lives to tell her story, and how the 3'000 crosses that will soon be displayed on the National Mall will carry the names of people who have lost the voice to tell their stories. The conference venue was in tears. Chanting about the extermination of people has consequences. Denying that this is happening, or claiming that such chants do not have consequences is reckless and dangerous. We cannot let them win. We need to find a solution for those who choose to remain in South Africa.

Nothing to add.

Can you explain to me why Bin Laden, who destroyed two buildings, was hunted by the CIA for years — but a war criminal who bombs cities in Europe every day is having a meeting with the Special Representative of President of the United States?

His last moments were filled with terror and agony. Bullfighting is torture, not tradition. REPOST if you agree.

Nothing Russia does in Ukraine is "retaliation." Russia launched this unprovoked war, struck warehouses first, and committed war crimes from day one. Claiming Moscow is merely retaliating when Ukraine fights back is ignorant or complicit

Europe will face a constant existential threat until Russian imperialism is defeated. We have a choice: we either defeat it in Ukraine today, or fight it inside EU borders tomorrow. The decision is entirely up to us

🇿🇦The bottom line is that South Africa was a wonderful country. The people were happy, we had food, we had clothes, we had good schools and we had an army which looked after us and protected us from the commie trash trying to take our beautiful country over from outside the border... But what we didn't have was the guts to call out a traitor when he appeared to hand the country over to the very enemy our men and boys had died fighting... You can survive the enemy from without, but not the enemy from within... So to all those douche-bags who thought they knew what life was like in SA under a white government, without having a cooking clue, here's one-finger salute to all of you... Well done for helping to destroy a good country and turning it into another failed African Banana Republic...

We need to put an end to the false narrative that Russia is "retaliating" when it hits Ukrainian civilians. Russia is the unprovoked, genocidal aggressor that started this war, and Ukraine is the only side fighting back and executing real retaliation. Calling a Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian apartment block a retaliation is a grotesque distortion of facts. Russia lied for months to cover up its plans before executing a completely unprovoked invasion. The numbers tell the real story of who is targeting whom. While Ukraine has 2.5 to 3 times fewer total casualties than Russia, Ukraine has dozens of times more civilian casualties. Russia opened this dark chapter by targeting civilian infrastructure first. Ukraine is retaliating to survive, while Russia is simply continuing its deliberate campaign to destroy the Ukrainian population

Whether it's foxhunting, the badger cull, the Guga hunt, bird shooting or cruel 'pest control' practices, tradition and habit are not good excuses for persecuting wildlife.

I might lose followers for this Crimea is part of Ukraine The Russian Federation must fall for the world to be at peace

To distract from their incompetence, they go after Fauci - a real hero who spent his life in public service. Gain of function didn't happen in a lab, it happens in mother nature every day. We are not smart enough to alter a virus that way. But some are dumb enough to blame an American hero for their incompetence and false erudition

The major covid crime is people convincing others that vaccines are harmful and COVID is not.

Fauci was a hero - he didn't kill millions, but he did save millions of lives. Highest paid? Hardly - he was a civil servant getting paid much less than had he gone into private practice. People like you who don't know science are a clear and present danger to society

In most parts of Africa, there's an absolute masterclass of cognitive decay. A political mafia can run down the entire national grid, turn hospitals into mortuaries, and reduce the education system to ashes, yet comfortably win an election by simply shouting slogans from 1980s. It is deep, embarrassing, systemic shallow mindedness. When you underfund schools, you aren't just saving budget money. You are breeding the perfect, uncritical voter base. You make people so desperate for daily bread that they view a meal kit from a politician as a divine blessing rather than a bribe funded by their own stolen lithium and gold reserves. Billions are looted from mines every single year. The infrastructure is rotten to the core. But as long as they can pull out the "we fought for you" card every five years, the looting machine keeps spinning. That's peak African governance failure, and it's utterly embarrassing.

I think this great man is probably the greatest president in history. I also have the utmost respect for the Ukrainian people who elected Pres Zelenskyy. 💙💛

I never understood the Western fascination with Russia. I was a Soviet citizen and lived under that system. I’ve also lived in America and Europe. Compared with the West, Russia is a shithole in every practical, moral and political sense. What exactly are you admiring?
