A genocide against Ukrainians is unfolding right now.

It already has a name: “Kholodomor” (exhaustion through cold)

This crime is being deliberately committed by russia.

In legal terms, it has a clear definition – genocide.

Under Article II of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, one of the defining acts of genocide is:

“Deliberately inflicting on a group of people conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.”

Many Ukrainian cities – Kyiv foremost among them – have been without electricity, heating, and water for the second week in a row, amid severe frosts.

What does this mean?

It means people are being condemned to death by russia.

This is what is happening:

▪️ Elderly people cannot leave their apartments to buy food or water because elevators do not work – or because they are physically unable to walk down the stairs;

▪️ No communication: mobile phones are dead, there is no way to call for help or an ambulance;

▪️ Sick people cannot use life-sustaining medical equipment because there is no electricity at home;

▪️ Mothers of small kids carry their children and strollers up staircases in high-rise buildings – along with water and food;

▪️ No hot meals and no possibility to cook food at home;

▪️ Sewer system failures, creating critical and dangerous conditions;

▪️ Illness caused by extreme cold and the inability to stay warm;

▪️ Children cannot attend schools because there is no heating. Distance learning is also impossible without electricity;

▪️ Kindergartens are closed, mothers cannot work, earn money to feed their children;

▪️ Stray animals are freezing to death on the streets;

▪️ Even pets are dying from the cold – parrots, aquarium fish, animals kept in terrariums;

▪️ Animals in zoos are freezing;

▪️ Collections of rare plants in Kyiv’s botanical gardens have frozen and died;

▪️ Small businesses are earning nothing, forced to spend money on generators and fuel – causing direct losses to the economy;

▪️ Severe harm to the environment and public health due to the constant operation of massive numbers of generators;

▪️ Public transport functions far worse due to power outages; electric transport does not operate at all, leaving people unable to reach work, doctors, or essential services;

▪️ Burst pipes and freezing temperatures are destroying homes, making them uninhabitable;

▪️ Hospitals are forced to cancel planned surgeries, operating in emergency mode and at full capacity;

▪️ Rates of depression, anxiety disorders, and burnout are sharply increasing.

Russia wants to make large Ukrainian cities uninhabitable.

This is a humanitarian catastrophe deliberately caused by Russia.

The MAGA cult has nothing in common with the real Republican Party. Just watch this clip of John McCain responding to a racist comment about Barack Obama in 2008:

“He’s a decent family man that I happen to have disagreements with. That’s what this campaign is all about.”

Russia is freezing Ukrainians to death.

First, they tried to exterminate Ukrainians in the 1930s through famine. Millions died – but Ukraine survived.

Then in 2022, they tried to subjugate Ukraine by military force. Ukraine did not fall.

Now, they are attempting genocide once again – by freezing people to death.

The photo shows Kharkiv’s energy plant, destroyed by a russian missile. As a result, people are left without electricity, heat, or water.

If you are still trying to stay “out of politics” to justify russia’s genocide, then you are just as guilty as the russians committing these atrocities.

History will not be kind to you.

This video posted by Trump should unsettle anyone who takes the United States seriously as a nation.

Because it exposes something dangerous: the trivialization of the world’s most consequential office. It shows how carelessly the power, credibility, and accumulated moral authority of a superpower can be squandered for a few seconds of viral attention.

In any other major democracy, this behavior from a head of state would trigger a constitutional crisis. Paris would burn. Berlin would convene emergency sessions. In the Nordic countries, resignation would follow within hours. Across functioning democracies, the public, institutions, and political class would recognize this for what it is: an assault on the dignity of the state itself. Leaders are not free to perform as entertainers without consequence. National honor is not personal property, it’s held in trust.

But the United States is not just another country with a provocateur in charge. It is the linchpin of global order. It maintains formal alliances and security guarantees with forty to fifty nations. It underwrites the financial architecture, trade systems, and diplomatic frameworks that billions of people depend on daily. When the American president speaks or posts it doesn’t land as satire, meme, or personal whim. It reads as a signal about what the country is becoming.

American power has never relied solely on carrier strike groups or economic output. It has rested on something more fragile and more valuable: trust. The belief that beneath domestic turbulence lies institutional seriousness, predictability, and a baseline commitment to dignity. That belief is now disintegrating in real time.

Millions of American companies operate globally. They negotiate multibillion-dollar contracts in environments where reputation is currency. Boardrooms in Frankfurt, Singapore, and Dubai aren’t debating whether a post was clever—they’re asking whether the United States remains a reliable partner. Whether agreements signed today will be honored tomorrow. Whether American leadership has devolved from institutional to purely theatrical.

Consider tourism, which sustains millions of American jobs: airlines, hotels, restaurants, museums, entire regional economies. Soft power isn’t an abstraction. It materializes in flight bookings, conference locations, study-abroad programs, and decades of accumulated goodwill. A quiet, decentralized boycott doesn’t require government action only a collective sense that a nation no longer respects itself.

Now picture this image being studied by foreign ministers, central bank governors, defense strategists, and sovereign wealth fund managers. Picture them asking a coldly rational question: How do we write binding thirty-year agreements with a country whose public face will be this, relentlessly, for years to come? How do we plan for the long term when the tone is impulsive, mocking, and unbound by the gravity of office?

This is where the real calculus begins. Trillions in foreign capital depend on confidence that America is stable, credible, and rule-governed. That confidence is now being traded for what, exactly? Applause from an online mob? A dopamine rush from manufactured outrage? Content designed to dominate the news cycle rather than serve the national interest?

Every serious nation eventually confronts this choice: burn long-term credibility for short-term spectacle, or safeguard the reputation previous generations bled to build. The United States spent eighty years constructing an image of reliability, restraint, and leadership under pressure. That image wasn’t born from perfection—it came from a visible commitment to standards that transcended impulse.

This isn’t a partisan issue. Europeans who value democratic norms recognize something ominously familiar here. Americans – Democrat and Republican alike – who believe in responsibility and restraint should see it too. Power attracts scrutiny. Leadership demands discipline. A superpower cannot behave like a reality TV contestant without paying a price.

The presidency is not a personal broadcast channel. It’s a symbol carried on behalf of 330 million people and countless international partners who never voted but whose lives are shaped by American decisions anyway. Every post either reinforces or erodes the idea that America can be counted on when it matters most.

So the question is no longer whether this is offensive. The question is whether this is who America chooses to be: a nation that trades a century of hard-won reputation for viral moments. A country that replaces statecraft with content creation. A republic governed like a season of reality television.

History offers a harsh lesson here. Great powers don’t fall because enemies mock them. They collapse when they begin mocking themselves – publicly, proudly, and without grasping the cost until it’s far too late.
