A little thread... But wise and insightful.

Yan Valetov: A question for the Russians
Do you really think you can kill and destroy with impunity?
That you will get away with it? Why didn't you just want to live like a neighbor, to trade, to visit? Yes, money wasn't everything, but it was a lot of things. Perhaps the separation was inevitable because we understand freedom too differently, we have too different attitudes towards power and what it allows.

It's interesting, do you seriously believe that NATO soldiers stood on your borders? Seriously? Do you realize that Ukraine is now a thousand times more dangerous than the entire Atlantic bloc multiplied by ten?
Do you know why? Because now it's personal. For almost all of us. Most of us hate your country and each of you personally quite sincerely, without any propaganda effort.

No need to convince us - go around the city, look at the ruins, visit the cemetery, spend the evening in forty-degree heat without lights - and that's it.
For 50 years you have been fed the same lie: NATO soldiers - and you gobble it up. But in truth you and your country, your associates and servants, are a plague. The main danger to all living things is you. Because a strong, bloodthirsty, unpredictable and calculating idiot is a nightmare.

And an idiot with a nuke is a total nightmare.
You had a chance to withdraw, to repent, to redeem yourself, just as you had a chance to trade and not become what you became to the world.
But your true essence won. The notorious Russian mentality came to light and everyone around closed their eyes in horror.

However, if for 25 years you consciously make people a herd, people will become a herd. And they will even experience a catharsis in unity and thoughtlessness - we have already seen this in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. Look in the mirror, turn on the TV - do you recognize the demon-possesed Adolf? Do you see it? No? He's there! Your collective unconsciousness must be extremely pleased with it.

You say you are fighting Nazism and fascism, but in reality you are the Nazism and fascism in a new incarnation.
Anyway, get ready. What did not reach you today will surely reach you tomorrow. "Palyanitsa" which's invincibble to your air defence will become a standard, Ukrainian ballistics is not far away, and Ukraine partners are getting orientated, albeit slowly, but surely.

So everything for us with you is ahead - both the burning of Moscow and the burning of St. Petersburg. And you will know waht is to smell the cool fire, standing next to what was yesterday your home. Like us. And you will know what a blackout is in a city of millions. Like us.
War is not the slaughter of unarmed and defenseless people.
It is the path of the sword. And the sword is double-edged.
