As war with the German Nazis approached, Yevgeniy was made a military correspondent because his poems had become famous and were made into songs used for propaganda purposes. Two months into the war with Germany, he was wounded and captured. Being a Soviet captured by Nazis is bad. Being a Jew captured by Nazis is lethal.
But Yevgeniy escaped! Sheltered by a Ukrainian family who risked their lives to do so, Dolmatovsky recuperated then headed back to the front lines and was captured again, this time by the Italians.
But he escaped again. Goddamn those Ukrainian Nazis.
My goodness Jeff. That settled it then. Though what it is one can only guess.
Ohhhhh… that’s right. Almost forgot. Your a Denial of certain crimes against humanity if they don’t pray in the right building. Almost forgot that about you.
The gallacian massacre didn’t haven. The Holdomor did. Hmmm..

Wonder what the difference is?…
Look, we've established that in your worldview the only acceptable outcome is Ukraine laying down and begging for Russia to absorb them back into the empire, because Evil USA tricked them into wanting democracy, which as we all know now is just a pipe dream cooked up by shitlib Dems to promote Nazism, because like you said, I'm fash curious.

You lame and won’t take a position on outcomes cuz that’s not what you do. Your not capable as we’ve just seen. You remind me of the guy that enjoys a fight. Not to be in one. Just cheer one from the sidelines and smear anyone who doesn’t go along with your enthusiasm. Your not that hard to understand Jeff. Ya got a little Bandera in ya to boot.
Interesting interview the other day on Goodmans show with Sachs.
I would only say, yet again, it would have been better to have negotiated back in December with Russia (not the Soviet Union old people, stay awake) than it is now after Ukraine has been wrecked and Russia has what it wants. The predicted outcomes and rational for it explained so succinctly by John Meascheimer (who’s taking considerable heat from power for doing so but here we are.)
I think this conflict will go on for awhile yet. Too much money left to be made.
This struck me as interesting. A report out from the Pittsburgh post-gazette doing a retrospective piece of the Ukraine situation with the events leading up to our current moment. Two things:
- It takes into account those Ukrainians on the eastern side of the LOC during the civil war.
-Pittsburg has a large Ukrainian immigrant population going back over a century. The ides of a Ukraine differs from generation to generation as the borders have constantly shifted.
Surprised to see it actually.
‘ As The Nation explained, the Azov Battalion is not merely Nazi in theory, but also in practice. In present-day Ukraine, “there are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators.”…
…..’ The American press wrote about this sporadically before this year. Now the press does backflips to obscure and deny this reality.
However, the people of Donetsk, who have lived this reality now for almost nine years, are very clear that all of this is real. Indeed, I met people in Donetsk (some quite elderly) who volunteered back in 2014 to defend their land and their people from the Kiev government’s aggression.
Much of the government views the predominantly ethnic Russian people of the Donbas as inferior beings whose language and culture, including the Russian Orthodox Church, should be eradicated. I actually traveled to Donestk in a vehicle laden with clothes destined for a Russian Orthodox monastery in Donetsk that is constantly being shelled by the Kiev government. ’
Jeeze. Didn’t our man in Kiev just outlaw the Orthodox Russian church? I think it’s always helpful to have governments pick religions. It’s always worked so far.
"We agree that Russia will withdraw without conditions from all Ukrainian territories, including Crimea. We agree that it will make reparations to the families of those it has raped, murdered and displaced. We agree that Russia will rebuild all that it has wantonly destroyed. And, oh yes, we agree that Putin will present himself to the Hague for prosecution for war crimes and crimes against humanity."

Ron Urie does a good job of summarizing America’s political economy, shifting to the far right lead by liberals, and the resulting dangerous geopolitical situation we all face:
Biden was elected to start a war with Russia. If you follow the history, he has been in place at critical junctures to do just that. That he was a right-wing, neoliberal, war hawk for forty-eight of his fifty years of public self-service— until he ran for president in 2020, should have been a clue that he was the wrong politician for this time. And while the warm embrace of American liberals with self-described Nazis is no surprise here, the broader political context suggests that those interested in political solutions should stop calling each other names and end the war. This written, the US is in a bad way. And it will remain so no matter who is president. These problems will be intractable until the existing distribution of wealth and power has been reconsidered (redistributed). As long as Lockheed Martin, Goldman Sachs, and Amazon rule the nation, ‘public’ policies will be for their benefit, not ours. Younger readers don’t have twenty or thirty years to figure this out. The problem with low and mid-level conflicts that persist is that they can escalate in the blink of an eye. This war has to be ended quickly. The Americans need to end the bullshit and negotiate a peace.
The most advanced Russian tank is the T-90, and is state of the art. So Russia sent 2 of them to Ukraine. Status? As of today, both of them are in Ukrainian hands. Ukraine just took them away from the Russians, and will now be deploying them against Russia. LOL.
Don't you love it when a plan comes together?
