The only way to win World War III is to prevent it.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.  This world in arms is not spending money alone.  It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.   This is not a way of life at all in any true sense.  Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

“Dictatorships are based on mythes, the Putin’s myth is WW2… The West is also responsible for this myth by not admitting that Stalin is responsible for the WW2 as Hitler.” So right! Victor Suvorov struggled to publish Icebreaker book in the West…

If China starts supplying military aid to Russia, the scale of Ukrainian bloodshed will be unimaginable. The Chinese economy is extremely dependent on the West. We should make them pay if they follow this treacherous path.

Rather than pressing for the Kremlin to end the war by withdrawing from Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban blames the European Union (!) for prolonging the war. He would rather have Putin install an autocrat like Orban in Kyiv.
