Posted by “Politically speaking, tribal nationalism [patriosim] always insists that its own people are surrounded by ‘a world of enemies’ – ‘one against all’ – and that a fundamental difference exists between this people and all others. It claims its people to be unique, individual, incompatible with all others, and denies theoretically the very possibility of a common mankind long it is used to destroy the humanity of man”.

Putin’s paranoia hindering Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine. Head of Wagner terrorist group Yevgeny Prigozhin is considered a challenger to Putin. But his constant claims Wagner troops aren’t getting any ammo is maybe linked to him being set up for failure.

John McCain was right; Putin is a killer & thug who wants to build a new Russian empire. Hearing Ron DeSantis calling the invasion of Ukraine a “territorial dispute” McCain would turn in his grave. What became of the once great Republican Party & is Europe ready for this?
