Last night Russia attacked a European capital with ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones. Today the story barely registers in international news headlines.
Western normalization and acceptance of Russian atrocities in Ukraine is what makes them possible.

Europe's history is full of this.
Can't put the blame on the Romans either. The folks before them also enjoyed this kind of pasttime, I believe.
It's really time to have a deeper look into our ... "culture" (so-called "civilization").

Not headlines but was still reported on the NZ Herald website. I only know that because I looked after seeing the attack reported on here by people living in Kyiv.

You nail it. And I am sad every day.

All of us, WE THE ADULTS, have a duty of care to prevent violence against infants and children.

ANY infant mortality caused by the violent actions of ANY state or individual during political conflict is child abuse and a crime against humanity.

Keep this as your focus.

Time to turn the heat up on Moscow!

All atrocities by every country on earth have always been normalized. That boat has sailed. Except Antarctica & maybe Sweden.

Fascist ruZZia should be destroyed, looted, defiled... at least twice-trice as much as their sub(non)human lowlife barbarians have been doing in Ukraine. And despised and forgotten for centuries to come. Only then it may be called fair play. PERIOD!!!

Trump says, I don't know what happened to Putin, he's gone crazy! I might have to do sanctions...and then give Zelensky shit and tell him to STFU about it! Trump happened to Putin. Trump says looks like my buddy doesn't want peace so I'll just walk away...WTF did anyone think was going to happen?

Headline at the public broadcaster 'DR' in Denmark. Text: "Massive attack against Kyiv shows Putin's true face, writes Zelenskyj"

Nothing on the BBC. But, hey, there's a "good russian" story 😡

Not unlike the acceptance of criminal behavior of multiple global thugs worldwide.

Appeasing Nazis never works. They never stop their evil unless forced to.

Where is American Land Lease for Russians now? Nobody fights Nazis better

Western timidity too.

If the useless free world leaders we have today were in charge during WW2, Hitler would have won. They are an embarrassment. I certainly wouldn't count on them to protect and defend any of us. They are worthless cowards.

We didn't accept atrocities and international lawbreakers in 1939. No good samaritan for Ukraine tragically in 2025.

boboblue.bsky.social•6 days ago

But it was "accepted" (not confronted) from 1933 - 1939. Keep that in mind.

vintaget.bsky.social•6 days ago

Except that Poland wasn't invaded until 1939. Ukraine was invaded at the very beginning of this war.

boboblue.bsky.social•6 days ago

"Anschluss" of Austria, Occupation of Czechoslovakia?

vintaget.bsky.social•6 days ago

But Britain had a stated and recognised obligation to protect Poland...

benia-krzyk.bsky.social•6 days ago

Britain was also obliged to defend Czechoslovakia and it didn't. To be fair it was because the Brits and the French were just terribly unprepared for a war and wanted to gain more time.

Imagine the western media outrage and apoplexy if those pictures were of Tel Aviv...

Hypocrisy doesn't even come close.

Either we drive out the killers or go under. There will be no miracle Either we drive out the killers or go under. There will be no miracle.

And not a single university campus was smashed to bits. Nor were any tourists attacked. Apparently not all war victims are equal...

The spread of fascism around the world has dramatically altered the content in the mass media. News is now a commodity, not journalism, and the need to alter reality is the goal

Same with Israel and Gaza. Seems like Western leaders are still bound by their allegiance to USA. Even though USA has a despot in control. Crazy times.

dpoling71.bsky.social•6 days ago

When will Ukraine start bombarding Moscow with drones. The international community cannot hold Ukraine to a different standard. This is how Dems in the US have battles politically against a corrupt GOP. Take the damn gloves off, pick up a bat and start swinging Ukraine. Fight fire with fire.

mossflowerwood.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ditto on the West not caring about the open and admitted genocidal slaughter and obliteration they are ACTUALLY FULLY FUNDING IN PALESTINE.

pepechin.bsky.social•6 days ago

There's a subtle difference between Ukraine and Gaza: who started the war.

For some, the only thing that matters is whether Jews are involved in the conflict or not.

protestspb.bsky.social•5 days ago

In both cases KGB and Putin
