The abyss cannot exist at the top, at the zenith—light.

The German Wehrmacht covered the distance from the Western Bug to Moscow and Stalingrad, then back to Berlin, in under 47 months. In the same span, the “second army of the world” moved from Donetsk to Pokrovsk. It’s puzzling that U.S. allies view this “turtle offensive” as a trump card.

The final layer of power wasn't territory, weapons, infrastructure — it was identity. It worth fighting.

Someday, a day will be the last day. Unforeseen. Unplanned. We will go to our beds with hopes, commitments, with echoes of “see you later,” “see you tomorrow.” This tomorrow—inevitably—will come.

Far-rights idealize and instrumentalize “the glorious past”, does it America “great again”, or Soviet Union.

We must highlight the gap between Russia’s imperial motives and its media smokescreen.
The demand to “consider the interests of both sides” is dangerous diplomatic Russian export. This is not diplomacy—it’s a linguistic maneuver that translates to prioritizing Russia’s interests.

World Refugee Day, June 20, is not an easy date for Ukraine.
The country has experienced several waves of emigration. Today's, caused by Russian aggression, is the fifth. It is also considered the largest in the world since World War II.

The headline tells "McConnell tells Hegseth America’s reputation is at stake in Ukraine War."
I think the reality is more complex: America's reputation is at stake in Ukraine, EU, Canada, Africa, South America, Asia, Australia, even more—paradoxically America's reputation is at stake in #USA.
