Ukraine’s Victory Would Make America Safer We don’t always get to choose our friends or enemies. Sometimes they choose us. Moscow shared military intelligence with Iran so it could target American bases, putting American lives at risk.

russia deliberately targets and murders civilians. Ukraine, categorically, does not. The UN has found that in 2025, for every three russian civilians killed, ninety-seven Ukrainians were.

"Russia was born an empire and never became a nation." This is the heart of the problem. Bc Ru was never a country it has long suffered from an identity crisis. It doesn't know what it is and for that reason doesn't know what it is not. It is not Ukraine; it is not Georgia; it is not Chechnya, etc.

Igor Bagnyuk, who serves in the russian army, is not a household name.

His work does not involve pulling triggers or torturing prisoners, only programming the flight paths of cruise missiles that, hours later, strike hospitals, schools, or apartment blocks in 🇺🇦

"[Ukraine] chose to stand and fight rather than surrender — a gift the Free World has yet to fully appreciate. Ukraine’s valour is Europe’s shield. A NATO-integrated Ukraine isn’t a liability — it’s what a credible and effective deterrent looks like."

Make no mistake, Vladimir Putin is an evil man. He bears direct responsibility for the murder of Ukrainian children. Yet he is no exception.
Russia's latest tyrant is the predictable outcome of an imperial system that has, across centuries, reproduced his kind with remarkable consistency.

and the society-wide victimhood that Nazi Germany and today's Russia have claimed to justify what they do.

Arendt identified a mechanism of power that has defined Moscow's rule for centuries and is once again evident in Russia's war on Ukraine.

The constant focus on the "remarkable" and "inspiring" "resilience" of Ukrainians continues to displace the focus from the horrendous psychological trauma Ukrainians are suffering from the endless death and destruction rained upon them by Russia day after day after day.

Hannah Arendt, who coined “the banality of evil” phrase, warned that systems, not just individuals, produce heinous violence.
putin is evil. Blood of 🇺🇦 children on his hands. But he is NOT an exception.
russia reproduced rulers like him for centuries.

By all accounts, Bagnyuk is good at his job. putin gave him a medal.

As children in 🇪🇺 & 🇺🇸 hunted for eggs on Easter, another unquestioning functionary pressed a button and took the life of a two-year-old girl, Hanna, and her mother, Daria Sapun, when russian missiles rained on Odesa.

Банальність зла: коріння рашизму Мало хто чув про Ігоря Багнюка — підполковника російської армії. Його робота в Головному обчислювальному центрі Генштабу не передбачає ані катування в'язнів, ані вбивства власноруч. Він лише пр...

Трибунал щодо воєнних злочинів для виконавців і десятиліття осмислення для суспільства, яке повірило брехні, у кращому разі обрало апатію, а в гіршому вітало московські війни, ось єдиний відомий антидот від банальності зла

Do you speak #Ruscism, the language of aggression & violence that signals genocidal intent and justifies the unjustifiable?

the "Russian World" trope is a self-declared duty to intervene (and if necessary, invade, murder, torture) wherever russian speakers or the 🇷🇺 Orthodox Church are present.
