In each photograph, Ukrainians in uniform wore patches featuring symbols that were made notorious by Nazi Germany and have since become part of the iconography of far-right hate groups.

And the eternal argument in defense of Nazism in Ukraine - but Zelensky is a Jew. And Obama is a black man - did that stop racism in USA?!

In the short term, that threatens to reinforce Mr. Putin’s propaganda and giving fuel to his false claims that Ukraine must be “de-Nazified” — a position that ignores the fact that Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is Jewish. More broadly, Ukraine’s ambivalence about these symbols, and sometimes even its acceptance of them, risks giving new, mainstream life to icons that the West has spent more than a half-century trying to eliminate.

as I suspected, the capitalist wall st class are rebelling against the neocon Trotskyite faction

apparently the neocons had allied with Silicon Valley who couldn’t compete against Chinese tech ahem faceberg ahem, so these neocons, knowing they’re never gonna get hired into choice million dollar paydays at wall st, and rather that they’ll be Pompeo’d, have chosen to push for their Tom Clancy moment and move for war.

Putin has given up on Crimea and he have prepared to blow up all the six reactors in the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station because "Putin is crazy".

Hard to believe this is still happening. Having foreign pilots, especially ones from a G7 country, as part of your military training program in the midst of a Cold War. Why should China trust these guys.

Why should they not take any intel they can get?

Chinese panels would assess the info and determine what is useful and what isn't.

I strongly doubt the cost of hiring some disgruntled ex servicemen to provide their feedback is a signficant economical challenge for the world's largest economy lol

Since its effectively free, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

There's a cold war? When? I didn't know it's already started. As for your complaints regarding the hiring of German pilots please do tell what's the negative or how it's a deficit for the Chinese Military having outsiders input, perspective, training comparing to their own for improvement, modification, and updating their own understanding etc...

The Economist report: European energy crisis was responsible for 68,000+ premature deaths last winter. This means the European energy crisis has killed more civilians than the Ukraine War and was more deadly than COVID-19 last winter.

Did they forgot before the war that Crimea water supply was already reduced by the Ukrainians. I'm sure Russia can find ways to deliver fresh water again.

Still weird to see western prestitutes blame Russia for blowing up a part of the dam which will impact them negatively like the nord stream pipeline.
