    Today i was woken up at 2:30am by explosion somewhere in the city, expectable enough. Marketplace at the intercity transport hub was torn by debrees of destroyed missile. The first thing in the morning disscussions were memes about how we lost one of the best (allegedly) shawarma place in the city and how pathetic this attack was. Where is Prigozhin, btw?

    UPD: transport hub already operating as usual, shawarma place will be back soon=)

    I think Ukraine's take on being tolerant of what people they let into their ranks is very ironic on many levels, we see western journalists find every excuse they have in the book to downplay the existence of the groups they don't like and all of that, I find it also ironic that Ukraine accepting these hardcore people into their ranks technically makes them more tolerant and accepting than the opposite.
    personally I think it can be a good example of how a certain people can have completely different views on things depending on their history, since ukraine has had a completely different perspective from ww2, 2014 - 2016 and now this war. I find it very fun looking at the journalists twist and twirl because they have to prove themselves hypocrites again defending a country they would adamantly hate if they didn't have their agenda.
    PS, I'm not pro-russian and would consider myself slightly pro-ukranian, I just however accept the fact that Ukraine has what westerners would call "bad aspects" to them and I think it is healthy being honest about it, I hate people ignoring what's in front of them, just reach a consensus and be calm about it.
    and for god's sake, dont take anything a journalist has to say at face value, they always have a agenda and I would only consider their word if they're honest about having one.

      Its the fact that they're all in that trench together. Bad people don't matter if they can carry a gun and shoot the enemy. You can't afford to pick and choose who you let in. What you need them to do is sit in the trench, move up, shoot, do it all again. Forever. I think it'd be odd to find a morally superior armed force anywhere. It will never exist.
