Charlie Chaplin - Final Speech from The Great Dictator
YouTube video by Charlie Chaplin
www.youtube.com
85 years ago, Charlie Chaplin delivered his famous speech at the end of his first film with dialogue - The Great Dictator.
He spoke these timeless words as Nazis rose to power, and the drums of war beat in Europe, echoing across the world.
As relevant, and necessary to hear, today as ever

And nothing clicked for anyone -- maybe this isn’t something you should be doing if America and NATO are your "existential enemy," who is supposedly already "openly and directly waging war" against you on the "territory of former Ukraine"?

No, I still can’t get this out of my head, and I keep trying to grasp the full abyss of this idiocy, unsuccessfully.
Russia spent years, decades "fighting all of NATO," turning America into "radioactive ash" every night on state TV.

1/ As many as 4% of the able-bodied men in one village in the Russian Far East may have died in Ukraine. The figure illustrates how the human cost of the war is being borne disproportionately by impoverished communities deep in the Russian interior.

It’s a continental embarrassment that Europe has produced 0 stealth fighters. We are forced to buy American just to stay relevant.
Meanwhile, the France-Germany infighting on the 6th-gen fighter is pathetic.

Russia is desperate to damage Europe, and I know this because I’ve spent years investigating its plans. Russia's operations in Africa are hybrid warfare aimed at destabilizing Europe: fueling instability, driving migration flows northward, and weakening EU unity. Europe must act

Russia set out to eradicate the Ukrainian language, and those who speak it.
But many more around the world know Ukrainian words & phrases today. Far more than ever are learning it via online services like Duolingo.
Meanwhile, the Russian language continues its decline in relevance across Eurasia.
