Even CNN chronicling the tsunami of hate-motivated content posted by the IDF.
It's a matter of record other military's and their command reprimand soldiers guilty of such unprofessional and counter-productive behavior. But this is an abnormal military for an abnormal state.

🇺🇦 106 years ago, on February 17, 1918, Vladimir Vasilyevich Shcherbitsky was born - a Soviet party and statesman, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Ukrainian SSR in 1972-1989.

During the years of Shcherbitsky's tenure at the head of the Ukrainian SSR and thanks to the selfless work of millions of citizens, the economic potential of Soviet Ukraine increased almost 4 times, the volume of industrial production - about 5 times. Agriculture began to produce almost twice as much product, labor productivity increased more than 2.5 times, and with it wages increased 2.5 times. By the beginning of the 1980s. In terms of economic growth, Soviet Ukraine was more powerful than any state in Western Europe. According to UN estimates, it was one of the ten most advanced countries in the world.

The population of Ukraine increased from 43.1 million in 1961 to 52 million in 1990, or by almost 9 million people. Shcherbitsky did a lot for Ukrainian culture: in Ukraine there were 60% of Ukrainian-language schools and 40% of Russian-language ones, the Virsky ensemble and the Grigory Veryovka choir developed, amateur groups and libraries multiplied, the Kiev Opera House was restored, the leading football club of the USSR and in foreign championships became Kiev " Dynamo". At the same time, Shcherbitsky harshly suppressed attempts to manifest Ukrainian bourgeois nationalism in any form.

After coming to power in the USSR in 1985, Gorbachev, Shcherbitsky very quickly recognized the falsehood of perestroika. The leader of the Ukrainian communists did not accept the fact that the process of improving socialism was gradually being replaced by its dismantling, that the economy was sliding into a “wild market”that the state was being removed from managing the economy.

On September 20, 1989, Shcherbitsky was removed from the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, and on September 28, 1989, at the insistence of M.S. Gorbachev, resigned from the post of first secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine.

It has been a few days since the Carlson/Putin interview, but it is still worth analysing what could turn out to be one of the most important interviews of the decade if the general public gets to grips with it.

Carlson was out of his depth, this is obvious in how the Russian president toyed with him over his CIA connections and stance in China, he did have the stones (or egomania) to do it.

As Alex says in this analysis this was President Putin's address to the American and wider western people.

If you want to understand the enormity of what imperialism has done to Ukraine, consider this simple fact.

"By the beginning of the 1980s, in terms of economic growth, Soviet Ukraine was more powerful than any state in western Europe. According to UN estimates, it was one of the ten most advanced countries in the world."

‼️LENIN ON OPPORTUNISM

Lenin stressed the significance of theoretical struggle, rebuffing proponents of a free-for-all approach aiming to weaken or discard revolutionary principles. He said that the role of the vanguard fighters necessitates a party guided by the most progressive theory. Despite accusations of inflexibility and sectarianism, Lenin cautioned his comrades against succumbing to the lure of compromise and being led astray into the "marsh" by those advocating such a course.

He stated:
"Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement. This idea cannot be insisted upon too strongly at a time when the fashionable preaching of opportunism goes hand in hand with an infatuation for the narrowest forms of practical activity."

🇰🇬THE UNITED STATES IS MAD THAT KYRGYZSTAN IS PREVENTING FUTURE COLOR REVOLUTIONS🇺🇸🔥

Kyrgyzstan is proposing a bill that entails the establishment of a government-operated registrar for NGOs receiving foreign funding. Allegedly, U.S. Diplomat Antony Blinken cautioned Kyrgyz President Japarov that signing it into law could result in Kyrgyz citizens losing access to education and healthcare programs funded by Western sources. This is because some local organizations may opt to cease operations rather than continue working under the regulations outlined in the proposed legislation.

The senior US diplomat voiced apprehensions about proposed legislation in Kyrgyzstan aimed at increasing oversight on foreign-funded NGOs, potentially restricting their involvement in domestic political matters. In reaction, Japarov remarked that Blinken's involvement displayed “signs of interference in the internal affairs of our state.”

🚨 Large settler-led protests caused civil disorder in front of the colonial ministry of war in “Tel Aviv” as well as Netanyahu’s residence in occupied Al-Quds. Numerous settlers were beaten and detained by colonial police officers after demanding a prisoner exchange deal in light of the occupation’s military failures in Gaza, as well as political failures domestically.

"I have lived as a fighter and as a fighter I will die!"

- Edgar André (1894 - 1936)

The two photomontages by
John Heartfield, 1936

Dedicated to the leader of the Hamburg Red Front Soldiers' Union, Edgar André, sentenced to death and executed by the Nazis on November 4th 1936.

Published in the anti-fascist AIZ on June 8th 1936 during his trial and two weeks after the execution.

The second montage has a quotation from the last court speech of the anti-fascist:

If you still make the impossible possible and bring a fighter to execution, I am ready to take this difficult step; because I want no mercy.
I have lived as a fighter and as a fighter I will die!


Edgar André dedicated his life to his class. Communist and close comrade of Ernst Thälmann and a leader of the Hamburg dock-workers. Gifted speaker able to express the sentiments of common people. Elected to the Hamburg Parliament from 1928 - 1933.

Among countless other deeds, he took part in organising the congress of Antifaschistische Aktion in Hamburg on June 26th 1932, which appealed to the SPD to join the Workers' United Front and counter the Nazi threat.

On March 5th 1933, Edgar was arrested, and for more than three and a half years subjected to unbearable torture to break his spirit. Weekly, his life partner Martha picked up his bloody clothes, washed and returned them.
Eventually Edgar’s body was so mutilated that the nazis placed him in a waterbed to recover before the next round of torture.

They never broke him!

On November 4th 1936 at 6am, Edgar André went to his execution.

This brave and selfless fighter was beheaded with an axe - the preferred method of killing communists.

André's lawyer later described his last minutes:
Edgar André walked the 12 meters to the execution site upright and alone.

With only a few seconds left, his mighty voice suddenly echoed through the prison compound:

Long Live Communism!
Down with the mass murderer Adolf Hitler!

Then Edgar André died.


Presénte!
