Célébration quelque peu personnelle (encore que non) : cela fait jour pour jour un an que #NotreGuerre est paru.
Célébration aussi, malgré tout, quelque peu amère et même empreinte d'une certaine colère.
Motifs de satisfaction et aussi (le mot est faible) d'insatisfaction.
Un rapide fil.

I examine the betrayal of some, but also point out the potential contradictions of their role, the reasons for their obliteration, and discuss a forgotten ethos of thought.

VisaBan now. Simply because the citizens of a country waging an illegal war with illegal methods and threatening Europe should not be allowed to travel anywhere in the West.
They are a security risk and deserve nothing good from us.

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen.
She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented.
Almost no one listened to her.
