Watch how Trump repeats every kremlin talking point pushed by russian propaganda on russian state TV. I wonder where he gets his information!

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” (Isaiah, 5:20)

…………

It’s incredibly cynical to hear the U.S. administration claim that, because Ukrainians speak russian in eastern Ukraine, those territories must belong to russia. By that logic, all English-speaking regions should be ruled by England.

………….

Reminder:

Between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine held 200 talks with russia, reaching 20 cease-fire agreements.

Russia violated all of these, leading to Putin’s invasion in 2022.

Those advocating for negotiations are either uninformed, misled or aligned with russia.

……………

Elon Musk is now suspending accounts of opposition figures in Turkey for reporting on the massive protests against Erdoğan’s dictatorship regime following the arrest of Istanbul’s mayor. So much for the “free speech.”

………….

There is no neutrality in the face of evil.

The russian war and genocide against Ukrainians have changed me. The russians killed three of my friends. They have beheaded, tortured, raped, and castrated thousands of my countrymen. They have destroyed the livelihoods of millions.

I used to be much more tolerant and accepting of different points of view. But now, my vision is more black and white. The war became personal. The pain became personal.

When you are bombed almost every night for three years and have your country invaded, it is personal. I think every one of us has lost someone — either on the battlefield or when rockets or Iranian drones bombed civilian infrastructure.

Almost every day and night, you hear explosions in the sky. You start your day reading reports about the next few people hospitalized or killed because russian rockets destroyed civilian buildings. And one of those buildings could be the building where your loved ones or friends live.

So, when I meet someone who claims to be neutral regarding the russian war and genocide against the Ukrainian people, I hold them responsible for the atrocities committed by russians. There can be no neutrality in the face of evil.

If you choose to remain neutral and silent, that is your choice. But that choice defines who you are. You are a coward, a silent supporter — and history will judge you as such.

To end, I want to quote a few people who understood very well that there is no neutrality in the face of evil:

Dietrich Bonhoeffer: “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil; God will not hold us guiltless. To not speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

Elie Wiesel: “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

Dante Alighieri (paraphrased): “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”
