Michèle Doige: Please read @NTenzer's
moving tribute to Victoria Amelina "The murdered writer and the stain of our unconsciousness" .
His outstanding piece is also about "absolute crime" and about us "We are allowing the very crimes we are about to judge to be perpetrated day after day". https://n.respublicae.eu/NTenzer/status/1676330511784976386

A simple question for all NATO citizens:
If you were attacked by Russia, wouldn't you want to have Ukrainian troops -- the only ones ever to have successfully fought the Russians -- in the trench along side you?
You would, wouldn't you?
So tell that to your government.
Today.

And for all the Finns saying "what about us!" in the replies.
People, you are already IN.
You would be in the trenches with the rest of us anyway.
Ukraine is the country that needs to be in.
It's not all about you. That's the point of NATO.

So once again, instead of having Zolotov keep an eye on the Korsakoff Syndrome poster boy, you let them both go off on a five day bender. No wonder Prigo went off the rails. Zolo wasn’t monitoring him because he and Dima the Dim were binging again. https://n.respublicae.eu/darthputinkgb/status/1675909551374188544
