28 NOVEMBER 2023
Moldovan President Maia Sandu has stripped Alexandr Kalinin, leader of the marginal pro-Russian Party of Regions and the Congress of Moldovan diasporas in Russia, of his Moldovan citizenship.
Source: The corresponding decree appeared on the website of the Moldovan head of state on Tuesday, 28 November, reports European Pravda
Details: The grounds for depriving Kalinin of Moldovan citizenship were “recruitment into the armed forces of a foreign state,” as stated in Article 23.1.3 of Moldova’s Law on Citizenship.
Alexandr Kalinin became the chairman of the Moldovan Party of Regions in 2016. In 2020, he gathered signatures in support of his bid for the presidency, but later withdrew voluntarily.
Kalinin openly supports Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. There are multiple photos and videos on his social media accounts of him wearing a military uniform marked with the letter Z as used by the Russian army in its war in Ukraine, which is prohibited in Moldova.
In addition, the politician organises events to help Russian soldiers by collecting warm clothing and footwear, which he then delivers to occupied settlements in Luhansk Oblast.
Kalinin has been sanctioned by the EU and Canada for his attempts to undermine the stability of the Moldovan government.

Very good! This is what should happen to all pieces of fascist crap that support this genocidal war. Now, he can go to the land of his dreams and apply for citizenship there. He can keep on his stupid Z uniform because the next destination will be a muddy trench where he can die for his runty little idol.
Speaking of filthy Gauleiter scum, in veth’s post yesterday, the nazi degenerate Vladimir Saldo was quoted as saying :
“We will do everything to return to Kherson. I spoke on Friday with the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and with the military – everyone is determined to return to Kherson. We will liberate our land. Next will be Mykolaiv, Odesa and Izmail”, – the traitor stated.
I would not at all laugh at what this arsehole says. It’s a statement of intent and is exactly what they will do unless stopped.
Totalitarian regimes think in terms of decades not years. They are willing to lose millions of the creatures they refer to as “soldiers” in order to achieve their genocidal objectives.
Ukraine cannot win unless the commanders are given 100% of what they requested, instead of the 20% they get at the moment.
The situation is dire; an elderly, faltering president in situ and a putler-owned nightmare is not only gaining traction in the polls but has succeeded in paralysing Ukraine aid.
One glimmer of hope : Mike Johnson, in a sudden about turn said:
“Of course, we can’t allow Vladimir Putin to march through Europe, and we understand the necessity of assisting there,” he said at the event. “What we’ve said is that if there is to be additional assistance to Ukraine, which most members of Congress believe is important, we have to also work in changing our own border policy.”
It doesn’t seem to be getting much coverage at the moment though:

I totally ignore the likes of Saldo. Their opinions are worth as much as a wet fart in a people-filled auditorium. As for Johnson, he’s been talking along such lines ever since he’s been handed the gavel. This gives me hope that aid to Ukraine will continue to flow, at least.
It’s a hive mind. His “opinions” are worth jackshit of course. But what he says absolutely will happen sooner or later unless Ukraine gets five times the help she’s getting now.
Chances of a liberal revolution are close to zero, so the horror is not going away. The existential threat could continue for decades.
“Mike Johnson” … “additional assistance to Ukraine”
I’ve seen coverage of it. E.g.,
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4329407-speaker-johnson-says-hes-confident-ukraine-israel-aid-will-pass-house/
But he wants to split Israel and Ukraine funding, and I have zero trust that he’d continue to support Ukraine funding if they were split and Israel funding was passed first.

as much as inconscence is ugly, courage is beautiful.

With the end of fossil fuels, in my opinion Putin and his clones are looking for news ways to dominate the world, wheat and agriculture is one of them. therefore depriving Ukraine of its maritime facade and killing a competitor is a minimum goal, if Russia cannot have everything.
