Wissant, Noord-Frankrijk. Restant van een Duitse bunker van de Atlantikwall. Gebouwd door dwangarbeiders en gevangengenomen verzetsmensen. Nu half opgeslokt door de zee. Wat bedoeld was als eeuwig, blijkt tijdelijk. Misschien is tijd wel de sterkste vorm van verzet. En volharding. Nooit opgeven.

Colonial empires survive on projection of power, rather than actual power. This is one of the reasons why the European colonial empires collapsed after WW2. Russia has been good at pretending it is strong for a long time, but Ukraine proved it to be a mirage. Russia is weak and will lose the war
One thing the last quarter century has shown is that Vladimir Putin is a horrible and wildly overestimated strategist.
He has weakened Russia and ruined its potential.
In pursuing genocide in Ukraine, he has exposed staggering incompetence rather than strength

We live in a world where the IOC has no problems selling T-shirts with actual nazi propaganda, but bans a Ukrainian athlete for wearing a helmet commemorating athletes killed in Russia’s war against Ukraine. I just can’t anymore with this insanity anymore

The trajectory from, “Trump will give Ukraine to Tomahawks to attack Russia” to “Trump has starved Ukraine of Patriots to help Russia” is the single greatest example of the failure of people to understand what Trump is and has always been.
