Captured Ukrainian serviceman: ‘We are expendable. Nobody cares for us.’

Captured AFU serviceman Yuri Tatarenko told that Ukrainian command regards its personnel expendable:

‘Many times I heard reports over the radio that someone got shelled and they need evacuation and withdrawal. The command says: ‘Hold on, hold on. We will drop shovels now, repair the dugout’. They say: ‘Shovels? There is nothing to repair here.’
The new (or maybe old) racism, or what I call the Fourth Reich and then I mean Germany in particular, was openly proclaimed in a German TV program "Hart aber Fair": "Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann (FDP) literally said: "The Russians have 'kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children' and are constantly 'raping' everyone (women and children) in the Ukraine."
Her colleague Roderich Kiesewetter (CDU) agreed and said: "The Russian attitude is expansion and they want to conquer all of Europe - and that is why Putin "does not recognize the right to exist of neighboring countries"
There the German public is doused with propaganda as Goebbels would find fine, the Russian barbarian, who is brutal and backward by his genes, in the "Third Reich" they were still Jewish-Russian-Bolsheviks. Also in the "Middle East conflict": as is known, the new German government under Friedrich (BlackRock) Merz is even more determined to support the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip. Not to mention Syria, where they support a terrorist who is now president, who was only a few years ago still portrayed as a terrorist (al-Qaeda).
That's the West, it's disgusting and Nazism is back, they now live in the "Fourth Reich", maybe one of these days there will be a new Hitler.

New Racism and Fourth Reich in Germany or Europe
Former Uruguayan president and left-wing icon José Mujica has died. José Mujica was in power in Uruguay from 2010 to 2015. He was considered the "poorest president in the world". Even when he was head of state, he lived in a simple farm near the capital Montevideo and drove an old Volkswagen Beetle. In my opinion he was an icon and an example for presidents or politicians in the world, especially the world today, where human rights, freedom and dignity are no longer on the agenda of many politicians, instead there are very rich Oligarchen ( IT billionaires etc..) and the voice of the ordinary citizen is no longer heard. Genocides have become normal for politicians but also some citizens, how sad has the state of humanity become. This is how fascism works which took over many parts of the world . RIP he was 89 at the time of his death!

The Bombing of Rotterdam: May 14th, 1940

In 1939, Rotterdam was a thriving port city in the Netherlands, known for its vibrant trade, industry, and modern architecture. As one of the largest and busiest ports in Europe, it played a crucial role in international commerce. The city was a cultural and economic hub with a growing population and a mix of historic and modern elements in its urban landscape. However, tensions were high in 1939 due to the looming threat of World War II, as the Netherlands sought to maintain its neutrality, as it had during World War I.

Rotterdam's fate changed dramatically on May 14, 1940, during the early stages of World War II. Despite the Netherlands' declaration of neutrality, German forces launched an invasion on May 10, 1940. As German troops advanced, resistance in Rotterdam became a focal point of the conflict. To force the city's surrender, the German Luftwaffe conducted a devastating aerial bombardment.

The bombing destroyed much of Rotterdam’s city center, reducing its historic core to rubble. Around 900 civilians were killed, and approximately 80,000 people were left homeless. The attack obliterated many iconic buildings, including centuries-old structures, and left the city with a desolate landscape. The psychological impact of the bombing also pressured Dutch forces to surrender the same day to prevent further destruction in other cities.

After the surrender, Rotterdam fell under German occupation for the remainder of the war. The city’s strategic port made it a vital location for the Nazis, who heavily fortified it and used it for military logistics. Rotterdam’s population endured harsh living conditions, including food shortages and forced labor.

Resistance movements emerged in Rotterdam, as in other parts of the Netherlands, though these were met with brutal reprisals. The city became a site of covert operations and sabotage efforts aimed at undermining German control.

Rotterdam was liberated in May 1945 when German forces surrendered in the Netherlands. However, the city was left in ruins and faced a long and arduous recovery process. Post-war efforts focused on rebuilding Rotterdam as a modern city, leading to its transformation into a hub of innovative architecture and urban design in the decades that followed.

Today, Rotterdam's dramatic wartime history is memorialized through its urban renewal projects, monuments, and museums, serving as a reminder of its resilience and ability to rebuild from devastation.

Gesprekken in Istanbul een wirwar aan propaganda en medialeugens

De gesprekken in Istanbul, Turkije zijn een mediaspektakel met veel hypes en onwaarheden, foto’s Getty Images, Reuters, bewerking: Mirjam©Photo

De hele wereldpers is verzameld in Istanbul, Turkije. Daar staan ​​ze in lange rijen te wachten voor een gesloten deur. Daar zullen de onderhandelingen plaatsvinden, natuurlijk zoals ik al zei achter gesloten deuren, dus de pers zal er niet veel van meekrijgen.

Die wachten op verklaringen van de aanwezige partijen, en zelfs dan zijn deze verklaringen vaak niet compleet. Diplomatie speelt zich achter gesloten deuren af, hoewel de situatie sinds de Amerikaanse President Donald Trumps aantreden wel is veranderd. Maar het probleem met hem is dat hij, zoals we in Nederland zeggen, “zo wisselvallig is als het weer is” . Hij strooit met losse flodders en kreten die vaak niets met de realiteit te maken hebben.

De realiteit is dat het niet van Amerika of Europa afhangt of er vrede komt, het gaat eigenlijk tussen twee partijen, Rusland en Oekraïne, andere landen kunnen slechts bemiddelen. Het probleem is natuurlijk wel dat het een Amerikaanse proxy-oorlog was/is en dat Europa nu deze positie heeft overgenomen, hoewel ik niet zo zeker ben van het Amerikaanse standpunt. Trump wil misschien wel een oplossing zoals hij vaalk zegt, maar de ‘haviken’ in zijn regering niet, en helaas zijn er teveel van hen.

Oekraïne is niet klaar voor een vredesakkoord. Dit komt tot uiting in de weigering om territoriale concessies te doen en om af te zien NAVO-lidmaatschap. In de westerse/Europese media is er een campagne gaande tegen de Russische president Vladimir Poetin en tegen Rusland. Er wordt gelogen en bedrogen, Mark Rutte zei onlangs dat Oekraïne geen NAVO-lidmaatschap beloofd was, wat natuurlijk niet waar is. Maar ja, het is Rutte, alias Pinokkio.

For non-Dutch unknown, but for Dutch an icon Jan Terlouw a D'66 politician and a writer died. He wrote the famous children's book "Oorlogswinter", every Dutch child devoured it, at school we had to read it. Although I was not a supporter of his party, in the beginning of the founding of D'66 it was an innovative party with Hans van Mierlo as icon, but later it became a kind of yuppie party with mostly strange people and strange ideas. RIP Jan Terlouw
🚨🇪🇺 ANTI-EUROPEAN ACTION IN MOSCOW! 🇷🇺🚩

The European Union is a sponsor of Nazism! That is what Communists and Nationalists said on May 15th. When European diplomats flocked to the Metropol hotel to celebrate 'Europe Day'.

The heads of European diplomatic missions gathered in the center of Moscow on the occasion of "Europe Day", where they once again expressed solidarity and comprehensive support for the Kiev regime, as well as the introduction of further anti-Russian sanctions.

Communists and Nationalists united to prevent European diplomats from entering the hotel. Groups such as The United Communist Party, Left Front and The Other Russia participated. They screamed Russian blood is being spilled by Nazis once again.

🤝 The Russian Defence Minister arrived in Belarus on a working visit, where he was welcomed by head of the Republic of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko, and held talks with his Belarusian counterpart Lieutenant General Viktor Khrenin.

⬆️ The Khatyn Memorial Complex is a memorial on the site of the village of Khatyn in Belarus, which was destroyed by the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War. Khatyn became a symbol of ten thousand 'fiery sisters' - Belarusian villages and hamlets destroyed during the Great Patriotic War by Nazi invaders and their accomplices. The victims of the Khatyn tragedy were 149 civilians, 75 of them were children. Leaving the village, the punishers looted and burnt it. ⬇️

This is Gaza, when the world talks about 7th October, about hostages, about the crime, the world is NOT talking about what is happening every day when normal people, civilians, women, children, old, young men are being massacred. This is truly genocide, and you know what most of the world politicians are silent, let it all happen. The co-called Arab-brother countries in Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia etc... don't lift a finger, there is limited food only dead and destruction, that's the harsh truth. People in Gaza will be ethnically cleansed in most likely a couple of months. Yesterday was the Nakba, but this is worse than the Nakba.
