... Or among the Western apologists -- Matlock, Mearsheimer, Sacks, Musk and most of the MAGA wing of America's Republican party.
Think of that: a war criminal is more honest than they are.
RT @NoMoreDramaMa: @JuliaDavisNews He's a war criminal, and that's the most honest appraisal of the war that I've heard from anyone with power in Moscovia.

“Because the Germans are superior to Ukrainians”
“You can’t possibly compare US with THEM.
…I fear is the unspoken attitude among too many people in Western Europe.

Imagine Russians doing this if they had just won in the Hockey MM semifinals.
I can't imagine it either.
RT @BadBalticTakes: Latvia pulled off a stunning victory over Sweden to reach the Ice Hockey World Championship semi-final. ❤️
As is tradition, Latvian fans go to the embassy of the defeated country to lay flowers. (It’s all taken in good humour, even by the Ambassadors).

Read this, retweet it, publish it in your local media. Russia doesn't just do this to Ukrainians but also to German, Spanish and others.
Utterly grotesque.

What makes Russians proud
RT @mattia_n: This is what the Russian ‘liberation’ of Bakhmut looks like. A once green and peaceful city completely destroyed. I wonder why the RU propaganda is so gleefully showing the results of their terror…

The country is beyond hopeless.
Even after Ukraine's victory, we will have to deal with a Russia brimming with fascists.
Unless you personally want to deprogram these people, don't get all weepy about them.

It's depressing to see how prescient John McCain was and how wrong and naivewere Europe and the US.
RT @LenerdoDicrapio: John McCain understood everything about Russia-Ukraine situation back in 2015, to the point of prescience.
Meanwhile Trump called him names, and is now prancing around claiming he can "art of the deal" Putin's "NovoRussia" ambitions in 24 hours, while MAGA sheep eat it all up. https://t.co/HQiDoOCEyK

This will lead to interesting challenges for the US abroad as well, when US diplomats rightfully raise issues of state censorship in authoritarian countries.
