“They have to see: Empire is 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝!” says Garry Kasparov, russian political activist and Putin critic.
♟️ Please listen to the Chess Grandmaster:
“We’re not just fighting Putin or his cronies, we’re fighting the imperial virus. And the only way to actually eradicate this virus from the minds of all russians is shock therapy.
Nothing short of Ukrainian flag in Sevastopol (Crimea)
They have to see: Empire is 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝!
Only then we have a chance.”
☝️ Russia can change only if defeated.
Victory for #Ukraine is the only hope for a better #future for russia too.
To speed this up:
1) Send more #Military aid to Ukraine
2) Enforce & follow our own #sanctions against russia
3) Stop circumvention of sanctions via 3rd countries

At around the 7.00 mark, Gary makes an important statement:-
…………
📸 #Ukraine 1941 and 2024.
Ukraine 1941: German 𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 local population, proudly photograph it. Ukraine 2024: Russian 𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 local population, proudly video-record it.
Why is this so important?
☝️ Because one photo was taken 83 years ago, the other last week. We are letting #history repeat itself, right here in the middle of #Europe
The only difference is that the 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 are now on video.
We said “Never Again”
Yet we’re letting it happen again

Marijn Markus:
If Ukraine had done this, all the three letter news agencies would be discussing and debating this non-stop.
Vatniks would be hosting a thousands large twitter space and assets Musk & Greenwald would be snarking out.
Instead russians brag about their own war crimes and no one cares.

☝️ Nobody could ever articulate the problem of russian state #Propaganda better than Professor Timothy Synder.
Timothy David Snyder is an American historian specializing in the #history of Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and the H0l0caust.
💬 He’s also a great supporter of #Ukraine – both in their ifight against russian invaders on the ground, and against russian misinformation online.
The only problem with Snyder’s formula is that some of the people who claim not to like 𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐬 secretly in fact like 𝐍𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐬

💬 Why #Language matters:
Russia abandoning northern #Ukraine was a “tactical feint”
🏃♂️ And losing Kharkiv and Kherson regions was an “orderly regrouping” and a “gesture of goodwill” according to official Moscow #media
But Ukraine losing just 3,5 square km (the size of Vuhledar) is once again a “total collapse of the front line” if the Vatniks are to be believed.
☝️ This meme from over 2 years ago perfectly illustrates the difference in terminology between pro russian propagandists and the rest of the world.
Russia reports every Ukrainian loss or retreat from a farm town as a great “Victory” on the level of taking Berlin,
While their own grand strategic failures and total retreat from entire regions are reported as “unimportant” and “a temporary setback” 🙄
Meanwhile, russia has taken 660,000 casualties, had 6 strategic retreats forced upon them, lost a part of Kursk and is losing 1200 men a day.
But of course, they denounce all of that as ✨️ western #propaganda ✨️
Russia has repeatedly lied about their intention to invade (said they wouldn’t) their soldiers (rebels! mercenaries! ok our soldiers!) their war crimes (bomb childrens hospitals then say Ukraine did it) and peace treaties (promised they wouldn’t invade, did so anyway) and still refuse to even call it a war.
Do not believe the lies of known liars.

………..
📊 Around 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 the artillery shells used by Russia, approximately 3 million annually, come from #NorthKorea according to The Times.
📈 North Korea supplies the russian Federation with about 3 million shells annually. 3,000,000 shells, every year.
Despite many shells being considered defective, their sheer quantity has enabled Russia to make steady advances in #Ukraine – including the capture of Vuhledar in Donetsk.
⚠️ Let this sink in:
North Korea alone delivers 4 times more ammunition to russia than the entire West to Ukraine.
North Korea’s GDP is $25.8 billion. Europe’s GDP is $19.35 trillion.
When will Europe use its economic strength?!
❗️ Right now, it seems the dictator axis is a more powerful and reliable #military alliance than the free world!
And they don’t place restrictions on their support! 🙄
If we can’t out-supply Iran, North Korea and russia, the most heavily sanctioned states on Earth, we are utterly hopeless.
The world is watching!

“We’re not just fighting Putin or his cronies, we’re fighting the imperial virus. And the only way to actually eradicate this virus from the minds of all russians is shock therapy.”
There cannot and will not be a shock therapy for this terrorist and criminal entity for as long as the likes of Biden and Scholz, and others like them are in charge in the West, not to mention such vile and overt fascists like Orbanus and Fico. NATO is not even willing to shoot down armed drones and missiles in its own airspace, endangering its own citizens.
Such individuals as mentioned above are slowly but surely handing this world over to evil dictatorships on a silver platter.
Unfortunately only a few are listening and understand the nature of the evil virus that is growing and being reinforced by cowardice and greed
So true, Cap, even after over two and a half years of war.
