  • Speaking from the Munich Security Conference, Yale historian Anne Applebaum reflects on how the last year has transpired. “Nobody believed Ukraine would survive. Nobody believed Zelenskyy would still be President.” There’s been an “extraordinary show of solidarity” for the country, but the end of the war still seems far off. “This war will end when Russia has understood that it was a mistake,” Applebaum tells Ali Velshi. “That means Ukraine needs to take back its territory, it needs to convince Russia it can’t win - and we aren’t quite there.”

      As long as zelinsky is alive the war will never end as long as you have Karl Marx and the zelinsky's of the world ruling over a country in Christian civilization you're going to see Christian bloodshed and the zelinsky's of the world filling their pockets with shekels. And of course behind them are their Antichrist international Bankers pushing their atheist humanism and equity like they did with their cousin Karl Marx which led to the death of 100 million Christian Russians.
      Matter of fact the same element of antichrist international Bankers finance their cohort Adolf Hitler anti-socialist Nazi party which led to the death of another twenty million Christians 9 million of which were Russian Christian's they then instituted their atheistic humanist equity state destroying the Christian East German people for approximately 50 years.
      Matter of fact most of Ukraine would be Russia today at it not been for the Antichrist international Bankers pushing their atheist humanism and equity on the Christian Russian people.
      We don't want atheistic humanism and equity in Christian civilization. Try it out in Israel and then tell us how it goes open their borders take down their big huge wall create multiculturalism in Israel. Matter-of-fact give everybody except the white Jewish people affirmative action do everything that's being pushed against the Christian people and Christian civilization in Israel then tell us how it goes.
      Oh wait a minute I forgot the talmud teaches the bloodlines don't have to live under the atheist State because they're human beings in the rest of the world are animals put on Earth in human form with no other purpose to serve them this is why they have to push the atheistic stay on everyone else. Our only purpose according to their book is to serve them.

      I don't know if it's your ignorance or you being a Christophobe or a combination of both that caused you to make such a stupid statement.
      There's never been a more oppressed people on the face of the Earth than the Christian Russian people.
      First they were conquered and enslaved for 400 years by Asian pagans.
      Soon after you had Antichrist international bankers following their cult financing their cousin Karl Marx to push the Antichrist atheistic humanist equity State on the Christian Russian which led to the murder of 100 million Christian Russians.
      Not too long after that you have the same element of antichrist international Bankers financing their cohort Adolf Hitler and the socialists Nazi party which led to the death of another twenty million Christians 9 million of which were Russian Christians. They've been instituted the same Antichrist atheistic humanist equity state on the Christian East German people destroying them for fifty years.
      It's believed these AshkeNAZI international bankers also had Adolf Hitler a socialist Nazi party sacrifice up to 50,000 Jewish people to scare the rest of the Jewish people out of Israel so they can start the Zionist state.
      Which of course you see today the effects of this still going on where these white supremacist zionists are murdering and stealing the land of indigenous black and brown people. Even throwing them off their own land and instituting a talmud state.
      And what do we see today zelensky the Karl Marx of Ukraine being financed by the same element of international bankers pushing that atheistic humanism and equity once again this time on a global scale. Financing their cohort zielinsky . Matter-of-fact Russia and Ukraine have a peace treaty agreeing not to invade each other when zielinsky came in 2019 as president he refused to resign the peace treaty with Russia then he attacked the two sovereign regions with no military with russian-speaking citizens knowing these two regions were in the original peace treaty which he refused to resign knowing that Russia would attack.
      I guess the international Bankers are mad that Russia and other nations are creating alternative banking systems alternative economies they don't want their shackles being touched.
      Yes there is a cause to a lot of mass murder throughout history but it's not the Christian Russian people.
      Most of Ukraine would still be part of Russia today had it not been for the atheistic humanist equity State destroying Russia. The Antichrist state which was forced on these people by Karl Marx and his cousins the international bankers.
      Some people are not interested in true history they're interested in their version of History that fits their narrative.
      Anybody who blames the Christian Russian people for not wanting that same element of antichrist international Bankers pushing the atheistic humanism and equity in Russia's backyard has to be a Christaphobe.

    It may not depend on Putin recognising it was a mistake. It depends on those around him and his military leaders starting to accept it was a serious miscalculation. and the need to mitigate the ongoing damage to the stability of Russia. Some think that the longer the war goes on the greater the risk of Russia breaking up and internal forces taking advantage of government weakness for their own gain.

This is the most serious threat to peace and world security since WWII. It is also a war of aggression that involves horrendous war crimes, and strong evidence of genocide. By its actions the US is now earning the kind of respect and admiration that it has not seen since the period immediately after WWII. Sometimes it takes an existential threat for people to come to their senses and agree on what is important.

    What I really appreciate about Anne is that, first, yes she did write some very good books on the crimes of the Soviet Union. Including work that depended on access to and interpretation of archives that most in the West were completely unaware of. But, perhaps more importantly, when the issues that her books and work touched upon ended up becoming more and more serious issues both here in the US and in the west more generally, rather than sweep them under the rug, she recognized them, called them out, and helped illuminate how the experience of countries in Eastern Europe can give us insights into how to oppose these authoritarian, anti-democratic and corrupt oligarchic tendencies here.
    For decades it seemed that the US was in auto-pilot. Now we face a historic trial. We have the opportunity to re-adjust and set a new course. In these times, when many disappoint us, we really need examples such as her's of a principled stand. It is such a relief to be able to feel good about being a fan.

    Do we forget the things Ukraine was doing before this war started? My family is from Ukraine and know there were wrong doings to regions in the country wanting to identify as Russian. Russian and Ukrainian people have a long history. I hope the best for both sides. It’s also unfortunate that the media has been so dishonest for so long so we get a lot of confusion and hate.

      Everywhere in the world where borders touch, there will be people who feel more in common with the people across the border than their compatriot neighbours. But that's life. Borders can't move every bloody day. The USSR famously had a history of persuading Russians to relocate into the Soviet satellite states for this very reason. To give mother Russia a pretext for land grabs decades down the line.
      NO SANE PERSON in a free Ukraine would want to live in a nation that fails as frequently as Russia. No sane Ukrainian would want to live under the tyrant that is Putin. If you think otherwise, you're wrong / a liar (personally, I suspect it'd probably be the latter).

      Democrat Anthony McRae, the shooter who died of a self-inflicted gunshot after killing 3 fine Americans in Michigan, was arrested in 2019 for being in possession of a loaded gun near an abandoned building. This led to democrat McRae being charged with illegally carrying a concealed handgun without a permit. Democrat McRae faced up to five years in prison.
      However, those charges were dismissed by the office of Ingham County prosecutor democrat Carol Siemon! Democrat Siemon’s office allowed democrat McRae to plead guilty to a lesser misdemeanor gun charge, and he served a little more than a year on probation. Democrat Siemon, like most democrats, turned into a race issue. She claimed the sentencing enhancement led to “dramatic racial inequity” and was “not in any way linked to the goal that we share of keeping the public safe.”
      She is part of democrat George Soros’s network. She has participated in international criminal justice reform junkets. Siemon supported far-left San Francisco prosecutor Chesa Boudin ahead of a recall campaign that eventually ousted him from office last year. Almost all murderers are democrats who voted for Joe and Barry, this is the simple fact. Gun control would actually work if all democrats were disarmed !@!@!

It’s people projecting their own fantasies 😊. I would LOVE to witness REAL extraterrestrial 👽 contact too, but we should probably not be making those assumptions about these things ?
