Smoke & Mirrors
If I summarize what we saw today from Moscow, it was a smoke & mirrors show. Even Putin’s speech was a letdown, and I felt uninspired. He used fake news to justify the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. He didn’t do what the West was afraid of declaring conscription or a full-out war with Ukraine. … read more

Giving
🇺🇦 Today, I gave 100 US$ to the just recently crowdfunding platform United24. I chose to donate to the defence and demining of Ukraine. This comes after giving 200 CAN$ in the first few weeks of the war. What did you do today? 🤔 read more

On Returning on Telegram
I’m back on Telegram, after closing my account about a year ago. I wrote about the reasons why on my story published on Micro.blog. Since the start of the criminal invasion of Ukraine by the Russian, I found out quickly that a lot of information about the conflict is being published on Telegram. I … read more

War Games
🇺🇦 It’s fascinating how the war in Ukraine makes me think about many video games. Let me explain. Looking at some Telegram channels feeding the results of attacks with anti-tank missiles or other means. You’ll find many short video clips with music and animation while a tank is destroyed. It makes … read more

Suddenly Missing Mikhail Gorbachev
This morning while reading the news, I suddenly remembered about Mikhail Gorbachev. He’s still alive, which I didn’t know. His birthday was March 2th. He’s 92. I vividly remember his presidency and what he brought to Russia and the world. One big and hard lesson we’re currently learning is that we … read more

On West Europe Surprising Weak Stance
🧐⁉️ It’s surprising to see European countries’ weak stance against Russia and the dire situation in Ukraine. I mean, world war II is not that far in history after all. Doesn’t Germany remember anything from fascism or Hitler? What about Austria? Their inaction speaks for themselves. I would have … read more

The Price To Pay
“(…) And we’re likely going to see skyrocketing prices if we did put a complete ban on oil.” — US treasury secretary Well, what is the price of thousands and thousands of people dying, tortured, raped? I can live with rising energy prices. For fuck sake, support the oil and coal embargo … read more

On Ukrainian's
💥Today’s news about a possible attack by the Ukrainian army on Russia’s land is potentially game-changing in this war between Ukraine and Russia. A few thoughts. First, Russia doesn’t have the exclusive right to use “Special Operation” when referring to war-related actions. Second and more … read more

Already a Routine
🇺🇦 For over a month, Ukrainians have been fighting to defend themselves against the invaders. This is a watershed moment in history, happening just before our eyes. Sadly, we can already see the routine of war being in place. Emphasis on the events during the news bulletin is decreasing already. We … read more

Keep The Pressure on Putin
🤨 As diplomatic talks progress, don’t be fooled by Russian words. The only viable solution is for them to leave what was known as “Ukraine before 2014”. Nothing less. We must keep pressure on Putin and our respective governments! Oh, and why do we feel so bad about recent Biden’s words about Putin? … read more

Is the Wind Slowly Turning?
💪🏻 Stalled or retreating troops. Low morale. Decreasing attacks. High casualties and losts. Retaken cities by Ukrainian troops. Odessa and Kyiv free with minimal damages. I’m not a military expert or a military pundit, but these signs point to a turning point. Let me hope for even brighter days … read more

Feeling More Optimistic
😀 After reading the news this morning on the situation of the war in Ukraine, I feel more upbeat than usual. It appears that Russian advances in recent days and hours are very limited, except in the sky, but they don’t have sky supremacy yet. Far from it. Ukrainians are simply incredible at fencing … read more

Discussing War Matters
🇺🇦🍽 I had this dinner yesterday night with some friends. The war in Ukraine subject came up. In fact, I brought it up, on purpose. As you might expect, I was adamant about our lack of support for the Ukrainian people. My point is that we must do much more even if we have to pay a price. I was … read more

Russia Isn't That Super Power
🤔 I’m not a military expert, far from it, but as we go further into this insane and highly criminal war, facts show there is something wrong with the Russian army. Highly exposed and long columns of standing still vehicles, attacking way too many fronts at once, and losing so many soldiers in such a … read more

Negociating
🇺🇦 While current negotiations between Russian criminals and Ukraine leaders are taking place, I sincerely hope that if ever a deal is signed between the two, the West will be the next to convince and deal with and the one who sets the conditions to undo even in small steps, the pressure on Russia. … read more

Back to Telegram
📧 I decided to return to Telegram to get the news about the war in Ukraine. It’s fast. Simple. I subscribe to a few groups. We see things in there that are unavailable on other news feeds. I prefer Telegram to Twitter for that type of stuff. Some content is shocking, for sure. But it is. Call me a … read more
