Ukraine at 35...They Couldn't Help Themselves

Ukraine at 35: Defenseless in the air as Russia advances in Donbass

Ukraine at 35: Inside an artificial economy

Ukraine at 35: How a country’s population halved in three decades

Ukraine at 35: Winter is coming to Zelensky’s state of corruption

Three and a half decades of disaster have brought the former Soviet country to a state of collapse. Driven by corruption, in the grip of a toxic hardline nationalism that has devoured the body politic, and consumed by a sense of its own exceptionalism, Ukraine has proven easy pickings for an increasingly fractured, radicalized and militarized neo-liberal West.

Putin hints at ‘catastrophic scenario’ for Ukraine​

Kiev “let the genie out of the bottle” by striking economic infrastructure, and is now reaping the retaliation, the Russian president has said

We'll never know as western media will never tell the truth.

Ukraine was corrupt the day it was reconstituted and here we are today with 100% proof...end to end.

I'll say it again for those with an ounce of intelligence...Putin could have flattened Kiev (and all of Ukraine) in a couple of hrs putting his 'good' birds in the air with orders to obliterate and there isn't a thing Kiev could have done. Putin has 100% stuck to his goals and position since day 1 and as the days roll on Zelensky and co are being more exposed as the real issue they always were and still are. Putin has flushed out agencies/countries like us and others as the real perpetrators against Russia and for no good reason other than attempted theft.

This isn't about siding with Russia...it's clearly saying the truth.

I agree with the first two sentences. As far as the last paragraph I’ll just say that I don’t know that and neither do you. I seriously doubt though that Russia hasn’t flattened Kiev because they can’t. He’s holding back for some reason.

I did see some footage of a building being hit with a missile where the explosion within it didn't look particularly realistic or seemingly make any sense, kind of like how a lot of A.I generated stuff will have small defects that aren't at first noticeable. Anything viewed on a screen should be viewed with deep suspicion especially when it's meant to manipulate the viewer for political purposes and that goes for stuff manufactured prior to times of artificial intelligence as well. Crisis actors, for example.

From promises of riches to ‘cannon fodder’: Colombians expose reality of fighting for Ukraine​

The captured foreign fighters were promised good pay and conditions, only to be left on the front lines without basic supplies or troop rotations by Ukrainians​

Ukraine is increasingly looking abroad to replenish its depleted ranks. Two Colombian fighters recently captured by Russian forces were lured to Ukraine with promises that bore little resemblance to the reality on the front line.

In Ukraine, recruitment has increasingly relied on ‘busification’ – a term for draft officers violently snatching military-age men in public and dragging them into vans bound for draft centers. Videos of these incidents emerge almost daily, fueling public tensions and driving men to evade the draft by any means, including illegally fleeing the country.

As manpower shortages worsen, Colombia has emerged as a major source of foreign recruits, targeted through social media and personal networks with promises of high pay and favorable conditions. The captured fighters said promises quickly evaporated once they were deployed.

Both men urged other Colombians not to follow them.

“Please don’t go to Ukraine,” one warned. “If you come there as a Colombian, they’ll hug you and then stab you in the back… Don’t believe what the recruiters say, it’s all lies meant to take you to Ukraine and throw you away as cannon fodder.”

Former Ukrainian troops tell why they chose to fight for Russia​

Kiev’s officers forbade soldiers from retreating and opened fire on them when they tried to surrender, they recalled.

Former Ukrainian servicemen switch to the Russian side once they get out of the “information bubble” set up by Vladimir Zelensky’s government and see the reality of the conflict for themselves, a high-ranking officer from a unit comprised of ex-Kiev troops has said.

Earlier in August, Russia announced the creation of the Ukrainian Volunteer Brigade out of several smaller formations of Ukrainian nationals who left the ranks of Kiev’s forces and are now fighting for Russia.

Some decided to join Russian troops because they changed their views after being captured, some because they never wanted to be in the Ukrainian military, but were forcefully mobilized, and others because they supported Moscow from the start.

The people “in Ukraine… live in a very harsh, aggressive information bubble. But when they find themselves here [in Donbass], when they see the Alley of Angels in Donetsk – they see a completely different picture, and most change their minds,”

The Alley of Angels is a monument to hundreds of children killed by Ukrainian attacks on Donbass over the past 12 years.

Another glaring example that ALL religions are corrupt and nothing more than control centers of people and money.

Religious rituals and days of observance are nothing more than a health check to see if their 'flock' are under control.

People have been duped and wilfully remained weak and stupid for thousands of years by the BS and they finally need to break away from divisive and corrupt organisations. They're nothing more than greedy self-serving control centers.

Vatican envoy in Moscow: Why does the Holy See want a seat at the Ukraine talks table?​

The Pope is expanding Vatican diplomacy over Ukraine as the Holy See seeks a place in peace talks while protecting its finances and reaching out to Moscow.

American Pope
Pope Leo XIV has been in power for a year, allowing us to draw certain conclusions about his leadership style. We see a tough, sovereign politician who skillfully uses conservative symbols to promote the Church’s internal stability, but on the world stage, he advocates a center-left, global agenda that criticizes both rigid state borders and the power of algorithms.

For example, the Vatican has returned to the use of traditional ornate vestments, which had been shelved under Francis XII. The public appearance was also received extremely favorably by conservative critics of the use of 'gender ideology' in schools and the promotion of non-traditional lifestyles. At the same time, the Pope is promoting ideas for decentralizing Vatican authority and proposing synodal reform, the essence of which is aimed at collegial governance of the Church, where decisions are made collectively by a large number of bishops and laypeople.

Most notable, however, have been his public disputes with various factions of his compatriots on the right; he has publicly criticized the immigration policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration and US Vice President J.D. Vance. In his first encyclical, Leo XIV harshly criticized artificial intelligence, calling for the “disarmament” of technology, a ban on its use for military purposes, and an end to the IT corporations’ proverbial race to the bottom, arguing that it could result in mass unemployment and that people could use it to escape into an “illusory world.”

You have no idea what you are talking about but that's par for the course so re-adjust your yarmulka and keep moving son.

And as usual not a single shred of evidence to challenge the obvious.

You're as fake as a $3 bill and brainwashed because without it you have no autonomous brain.

Continue to lean on your crutch to justify your efforts to date on the planet.

BTW: Have a great Tuesday.

You were yelling at the sky, what was there to challenge?

Religious people report higher levels of life satisfaction, which is probably why you're among the most consistently miserable people here.

I think you need to separate this into 2 different categories.
1. Religious Organizations, which have been about the power, control and money for centuries. It's well known, and to say any different is just purposely being a contrarian.
2. Religious peoples, who still connect to their religion on a spiritual level and observe religious holidays. Some see and understand the controlling nature of the religion but somehow look past it for a higher purpose, and some that just blindly follow.

If someone makes the claim it's "controlling" people, that's a broad brush. What religion? What sect(s)? What kind of "control" is happening? I wouldn't call being admonished to live an upright existence controlling.

Well, the Catholic religion seems to be one of the larger examples. Look, I'm not admonishing religion or religious people. Which is why I said it needs to be broken into 2 categories. Whatever people want to do is their choice. I'm somewhere in the middle. somewhat religious, somewhat spiritual. But there's absolutely no argument against the controlling actions of a lot of organized religions over the centuries.

 

[VonBonfire]

That's a sect, not an example. Control implies an action. What actions is the Catholic church doing to control people, specifically? There are a billion Catholics, I know many and very few of them strike me as being "controlled" by the church. I attend an Orthodox church between 4 and 6 times a year. Tell me how I am being controlled.
