Will #Russia ever embrace common democratic principles? Maybe, but the day seems to be far and remote. Especially after a 21 year old woman gets convicted to 14 years in jail for running a Telegram channel called #MelitopolIsUkraine.

#NATO was unable to intercept 19 Russian drones when #Ukraine faces hundreds of them every day.
Now consider that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) builds 5 million of them every year. (Alain Bauer)

It might be time for the Europeans to shape up their defence and security organisation collectively so that they have the capacities to face whatever comes next.
If the recent “incidents” in Poland are any indication, time really is of the essence here.

Racism is an invention that serves the interests of those who have an interest in the exploitation of others who look different.
In other words, racism is a tool to divide us, advantage some people and enable the brutal exploitation of countless others for profit.

Autocracies and dictatorships do not deal in truths and facts, but ideologies. This is the reason why they always fail in the end.
The economic situation of #Russia and Putin’s attitude when faced with facts and figures is one more evidence of this trend.

The Independent explains:

"America's friends will never trust the US again." OK, but what does it mean?
Shouldn't it be clear that the #UnitedStates does not stand for #Democracy and the #RuleOfLaw any longer?
And now???
What are the Europeans going to do? Are they going to finally take their responsibilities?
