Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.
He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.

A week before the invasion, my friend asked me:

For over 3 years russian occupiers have closed off the city. war crimes are being covered up, evidence erased.

There’s a widespread misconception in Western society that repelling Russian provocations would lead to war. It’s a narrative fueled by Russian propaganda. In reality, the opposite is true: Russia will continue escalating its aggression and provocations until it is stopped.

My problem with so called "good russians" is NOT that they fight putin's regime not hard enough.
Yes, it seems weird that 140 millions of people can't get rid of one senile psychopath even after three years of this pointless bloodbath he ordered.

The double speak is awful. The moral relevance is in what "end the war" means. Putin is trying to end the russia-Ukraine war with russian victory. Trump doesn't care how it ends, he just wants a Nobel.

So why don't you see it (yet)?
TLDR: because you don't know what the war is like (I did ask).
Let's see what it really is and what you can do about it.

The idea that the German government has a right to simply dictate what private German companies should do, is ludicrous, and dangerous.
Hungary's biggest employers are German companies like VW and Bosch. If Germany wants to put pressure on Orbán, that's where you would want to start.

Berlin is considering freezing €43 billion in EU funds and pushing to suspend Hungary’s EU voting rights under Article 7.
EU leaders are also weighing ways to bypass Hungary’s veto power.
