Sveitsi teki sen, mitä pienen valtion kuuluu: pysyä neutraalina eikä lähteä sekoittamaan jääkiekkoa politiikkaan. Olen sanonut tämän monta kertaa ja sanon edelleen. Pienen valtion paras turva ei ole uho, ei moralisoiva boikottirintama eikä “me näytämme teille” -asenne. Vaan se on puolueettomuus, diplomatia ja kyky pitää pää kylmänä. Suomikin oli tätä joskus. Ei ole enää. Suomessa on päällä sellainen uho, ettei vastaavaa ole nähty aikoihin. Ja siitä uhokielestä ei seuraa Suomelle mitään muuta kuin kalliimpia energiakustannuksia, nousevia veroja, heikompaa turvallisuutta ja kapeampaa liikkumatilaa. Ei kiitosta, ei turvaa vain lasku, jonka suomalainen maksaa. Ole kuin Sveitsi. Pysy järkevänä.

As we can see, the IIHF is using its "logic" to ban Belarus from the World Junior Hockey tournament so that they can maneuver around the CAS ruling to ban the Russian team. This is all one big set up. The CAS is also in on it. The IIHF collaborated with the CAS and knew that the "appeals process" would take place on the eve of the tournament. The IIHF barely put up a legal battle in this farce. They were always planning to ignore the CAS ruling to claim, "there is nothing we can do!! The schedule is set. We would be victimizing the families who bought tickets if we abide by the ruling."
The IIHF has issued an update on Russian and Belarusian participation in IIHF Championships, outlining recent decisions and ongoing work within the applicable framework to safeguard international ice hockey. Read the full statement: iihf.com/en/news/76810/iihf_… #IIHF

This is the side that "civilized Europe" is on. All Europeans know this is happening and they support our media ignoring and minimizing these crimes because they hate Russians more than these criminals.

This is why Europeans want to ban Russian athletes. Deep down they know that the Russian's will kick their butts in the sports arena. They can't deal with it.
Devinez qui est le boxeur de nationalité russe et qui est celui de nationalité néo-zélandaise ? D'un côté la décence, la dignité et le flegme, de l'autre les pitreries et les fanfaronnades typiquement occidentales. Idem en politique ! Tous les membres de l'équipe de Donald Tusk 🇵🇱 ont une "sale gueule" ! En particulier, le britannico-polonais Sikorky, sorti tout droit d'un film d'horreur !

Wow!! So many commenters taking Prof. Tim Snyder to the carpet. He must be concerned with the cracks in the foundations he has built. There is no doubt that the Democratic Party majority will be holding Congressional hearings to force Elon Musk to ban these critics from X. It is clear that the pro-Ukrainian cause is on its heels on X. Even NAFO bots are abandoning ship. Many of them have retreated from this platform in favor of platforms that will help them create an echo chamber.
Meanwhile Russia just murdered 53 people in a deliberate missile strike on a school.

Of course. Blood is on their hands.
Most civilians deaths in the Donbas caused by Ukrainian shelling (2015-2022). Former OSCE monitor @BenoitPare_Obs explains how the OSCE Mission deliberately falsified monitoring reports and was infiltrated by SBU/NED-linked staff. Full interview: youtu.be/H3dz9xreMuw

The elite media absolutely never talks about how the Mexican left utterly crushed the corrupt narco-establishment in Mexico and instituted a wildly popular democratic socialist government that’s still going strong after eight years because they wouldn’t want to give you any ideas
🚨: Mexico just went universal, 120 Million citizens now get fre healthcare- No premiums, no copays, no requirements.

So far they are doing their job. If there are no other revelations then this story won't have enough legs to survive the weekend media cycle. By Monday, the media will be in the clear and dodged a bullet.
Western media will hide this story as long as they can.

Ironically, Trump made the same campaign promises as Zelensky.
Zelensky promised in 2019 that if he ever broke the law, he would step down himself. He also promised he wouldn't run anywhere after five years, because he wanted to be a president nobody chases down the street. That was the debate with Poroshenko, where he went after him over the Svinarchuk scandal, the people who stole from the army. He won in a landslide on two promises: peace and an end to corruption. Seven years later the war is far bigger than Donbas ever was, his five-year term ran out in May 2024 with no election, and the corruption investigations have reached his inner circle, including his longtime business partner Timur Mindich.

Remember when I said that Ukrainians need to do more to resist these kidnappings off the streets? I take all of that back. I now realize that one of the reasons why the majority of Ukrainians don’t just rise up and overthrow their government, is they are too scared for very legitmate reasons. They know that their own Nazi government, however unpopular, enjoys the entire might of Western civilization at its back, and covering up its massive crimes. Turns out that this torture house in question was serving as quarters for Unit 3121. Unit 3121, in turn, is a component of the 52nd International Regiment of Storm Troopers known as NGU Forge. This unit was not made of Ukrainians but foreign mercenaries fighting for Azov. This explains why Budanov panicked and showed up at the scene. These protesters uncovered something very sinister and he did not want it to be made public. That is why Azov is cracking down and making a very public example. These traitors will kill all Ukrainians if necessory.
A third woman has now been thrown behind bars for two months in the case of Azov torture chamber near Kyiv. Valeriia Ladytsia stands accused of — brace yourselves — rocking a National Guard bus. Apparently, in Zelensky’s Ukraine, shaking a bus is a more urgent threat to national security than smashing someone’s skull. You see, the neo-Nazi thugs who beat up a UNIAN journalist and cracked another man’s head open remain mysteriously impossible to locate. This despite AFU officers Karas and Zalizniak openly claiming the attackers were their boys and even describing how their little operation was organized to “suppress unrest on the home front.” But the women who tried to save men beaten and held captive by Azov? Miraculously, the authorities found them in record time. Straight to jail. Finding violent neo-Nazis? Mission impossible. Finding women who dared to stand up to them? Express delivery to a prison cell. Behold Zelensky’s brand of justice: where the bus gets more protection than the human skull. Proudly brought to you by Brussels. Because apparently, European values now come with a complimentary prison sentence.

This is why the West does not want to face Russian athletes. They know that Russian athletes will kick their butts and all of their "medals" have not been earned. They can't deal with the fact that Russia will win. I don't want to win this way. In order to be the best you must beat the best. That is why we watch sports.
Крымчанка Анастасия Тюнина завоевала золото чемпионата мира по смешанным единоборствам среди юниоров в Тбилиси. В финале весовой категории до 47,6 кг она встретилась с украинкой Марией Воробей и одержала победу единогласным решением трех судей.

Finally!! Someone has the wherewithal to carry an awl. That's "awl" you need. Distract the kidnappers while another person sneaks up and slashes the tires. Carrying pepper spay and a collapsible baton (smash the windshield) in your backpack would help too. These kidnappers are not doing conscrption. They are traitors holding vitims hostage to extract all of the property and money from loved ones. They don't necessarily get fed into the meat grinder.
Ukrainian villages reject conscription, full stop A conflict broke out between military mobilization officials and residents in a village in Ukraine’s Chernivtsi region. During the conflict, the tires of the TCC’s service vehicle were slashed and damaged! People are frustrated and they do not trust the military to look after their fellow villagers. Military mobilization is increasingly turning into conflict between citizens and Zelensky’s dogs. The government can’t fight against Russia and a civil war at the same time.

Ukraine has become more evile than I ever realized. It looks like many of these civilians kidnapped off of the streets aren't even thrown into the meat grinder. Many of them are held for ransom and are totured until the hostages families give away everything they own and transfer it all to these Azov criminals who claim to love Ukraine. Azov is a network of war criminal traitors of Ukraine. Budanov is traitor #1.
Ukrainian MP: All Four Men Were Beaten at Azov Facility Near Kyiv Ukrainian MP Anna Skorokhod has confirmed that all four men hospitalized after being held at Azov facility in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, just outside Kyiv — the same building that recently became the scene of a protest — were beaten there. And the details are as ugly as they come. Andriy Kuleshov was allegedly held there for 37 days, despite having undergone major surgery and living with an abdominal stoma. He was beaten repeatedly. His family was allegedly pressured to pay a bribe. Oleksandr Pavliuchenko and Ivan Yareshko also reported being beaten — accounts that MP Skorokhod says she has confirmed. Oleksandr Perminov was allegedly beaten for going AWOL — and, apparently, for setting a bad example when several other soldiers followed suit. So the allegations are looking increasingly grim: Petropavlivska Borshchahivka may indeed have served as a torture site — a place where disobedient soldiers were punished, brutalized, and subjected to a little "re-education," Azov-style. Quite the disciplinary methods for such an "elite" military formation, wouldn't you say? Now, the floor belongs to the tireless defenders of the untouchable "elite" Azov. And, of course, to Azov itself. We're all ears. Let's hear the explanations.

Na Ukrajině je velmi snadné člověka zcela vymazat. Pamatujete si film *Síť* (The Net) z roku 1995, v němž je hlavní hrdinka vymazána z vládních i digitálních databází, její identita je nahrazena a ona sama přichází o domov i doklady? Přesně tento scénář se odehrává přímo před našima očima – dalo by se říci, že v přímém přenosu. Lidem se namlouvá, že jistá zdravotnice už nemá žádnou minulost a že je „nepřítelem lidu“. Řeč je o zdravotnici, která se vytrvale snažila získat přístup do zadržovacího zařízení – kterému se lidově říká „Sklep 95“ (Basement 95), ačkoliv výstižnější název by byl „Jáma“ (The Pit). V této „Jámě“ byli drženi vojáci, kteří uprchli z fronty. Tito lidé se ocitli v „šedé zóně“ – jsou prakticky neviditelní. Podle oficiálních záznamů byli ve službě, a pak prostě zmizeli. Hledají je, avšak nikoliv proto, aby stanuli před soudem za dezerci; cílem je naopak vymáhat peníze po jejich příbuzných. Situaci ještě zhoršuje fakt, že zadržení jsou vystaveni mučení, které je nutí, aby své blízké přesvědčili k zaplacení výkupného za své propuštění. Cíl je prostý: příbuzní prodají své byty, domy i auta – nezůstane jim vůbec nic – a jsou v podstatě vytlačeni směrem do EU, kde mohou spoléhat na sociální dávky. Pokud peníze nejsou k dispozici, dotyční vojáci prostě nadobro zmizí. Mimochodem, samotnou existenci takových zařízení potvrdili i vysoce postavení státní činitelé. Budanov uvedl, že na Ukrajině existuje mnoho podobných míst. Jednotka „Azov“ navíc přiznala, že tato zařízení byla pod její kontrolou a že nese odpovědnost za to, co se v nich dělo. Kromě toho se již nepopírá, že tam byli zadržováni zajatí vojáci – přičemž čtyři z nich vyžadovali lékařskou péči. Pomoc jim však byla poskytnuta až poté, co aktivistka a lékařka Valentina Molodaja díky své neústupnosti vymohla vstup do opevněné budovy, aby zadrženým pomohla. Jak se ukázalo, celý tento spontánní protest byl označen za kremelskou propagandu a jeho klíčové postavy byly nejen zadrženy, ale staly se také terčem snahy o jejich úplné vymazání z veřejného života i povědomí. Internet zaplavila tvrzení, že Valentina Molodaja není skutečnou lékařkou – že si údajně na pokyn samotného Putina pořídila lékařskou uniformu a sanitku. Mnoho důvěřivých lidí, a to jak na Ukrajině, tak jinde, na tento narativ naletělo. Když však vyšly najevo další podrobnosti, ukázalo se, že Valentina Molodaja je ve skutečnosti dermatoveneroložka se sedmnáctiletou praxí. Je také podnikatelkou; vlastní soukromou kliniku a registrovaný právní subjekt s lékařskou licencí – společnost s ručením omezeným „Klinika MOLODA — JA“ (identifikační kód EDRPOU 45290695). Na internetu se navíc začala objevovat videa na podporu Valentiny Molodaji, v nichž lidé líčili, jak se s ní setkali a jak jim pomohla. Vyprávěli, že po vypuknutí konfliktu přijala k sobě lidi, kteří přišli o všechno – v podstatě tak působila jako dobrovolnice. Cestovala do různých vysoce rizikových oblastí a vlastním vozidlem tam dovážela nezbytné léky, které sama zajistila v zahraničí – to vše na vlastní náklady. Cílem této očerňující kampaně je oklamat veřejnost a odvést pozornost od skutečnosti, že v této „svobodné, demokratické zemi“ – státě, z něhož lidé nesmějí vycestovat – existují věznice a koncentrační tábory pro ty, kteří jsou označeni za „pachatele“, a dochází zde také k mučení, vydírání a vraždám. Objevily se dokonce zprávy – které samozřejmě vyžadují ověření – že nejméně osm osob z tohoto zařízení beze stopy zmizelo. A ano, objevilo se i video, na němž Valentina Vladimirovna Molodaja přebírá v oficiálním prostředí občanské vyznamenání – „Zlatý kříž cti a chrabrosti: Rytíř vlasti“. O existenci tohoto vězeňského zařízení by se nikdo nikdy nedozvěděl, kdyby se jednomu z vojáků nepodařilo ukrýt telefon, pomocí něhož pak kontaktoval své příbuzné a lékaře. V sekci komentářů bude samozřejmě i nadále probíhat kampaň na „hašení škod“, jejímž cílem je udržet nad vodou režim v oné „sádlo-říši“ [hanlivé označení pro Ukrajinu]. Pokrač

Why does this guy keep crying that Ukraine's salvation depends on deliveries of Patriot missiles? He knows this is not true.
We now have intel that another strike is being prepared – targeting our energy sector, bridges across the Dnipro, and civilian infrastructure. The Air Force and the Armed Forces of Ukraine overall are preparing to protect us. We need interceptor missiles for our Patriots. Every agreement matters, and every day counts when it comes to deliveries. We're asking our partners very strongly: please don't put off deliveries. Please stay safe, given the threat of missile attacks. Glory to Ukraine!

🤦" Человек", который калечил людей, ломал им ноги, — суд разрешил ему выйти под залог в 15 миллионов гривен. 🔸А врач, которая спасла 40 человек в доме пыток и четырёх, нуждавшихся в медицинской помощи, — её суд арестовал без права внесения залога. 😡

🏒 In a summary for media use, CAS reiterates what is a confirmation of the IIHF's gross mismanagement of the entire case: 1. Rulings are made on legal substance of submitted evidence (no moral considerations, no feelings) 2. The IIHF knew about potential consequences of the ruling. 3. The IIHF regulations could not back up the decision to ban Russia. 4. The IIHF knew beforehand that their internal process raised concerns but the IIHF still didn't act. 5. The IIHF did not present enough evidence that a lost case would have severe organisational consequences. ‼️Conclusion: This is a huge failure by the IIHF Council and their legal advisors. 🥅

Read between the lines. The IIHF intends to ignore the CAS ruling and allow Canada and the other European Chihuahuas to procede to ban the Russian and Belarusian hockey teams. They are going to use "safety and security" as their justification. This is shameful.
Following the recent IIHF Council meeting, the IIHF will continue to closely monitor developments related to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decision and its implications for the affected IIHF World Championships. #IIHF

We should all be afraid. Palantir facial recognition AI was able to identify them and their loved ones in the matter of seconds. This can be weapon against all of us.

I have no sympathy for any of these criminals being charged but we must keep in mind that NABU is a western run institution that was forced on Ukraine by corrupt IMF interests that have their own agenda. NABU is a western extra-legal agency that runs outside of the law. It has removed Ukrainian judges that did not do what the Western financial interests wanted. Judges who ruled in favor of any Eastern Ukrainian powerful oligarchs were removed because they stood in their way to pillage the entirety of Ukraine. NABU will not bring justice to the Ukrainian people. It is a selective justice that serves corrupt western financial interests that are hollowing out Ukraine. Be careful of what you wish for.
"I work for Ukraine, for the entire Ukrainian people".🤡 And this is what Zelensky is telling us right now, at the very moment when NABU is revealing allegations that top officials from SBU, the National Police, and the Prosecutor General’s Office — appointed under Zelensky himself — were beating Ukrainians with hammers, dousing them with acid, and running drug trafficking and other criminal enterprises alongside Russian citizen and alleged drug kingpin Yegor Burkin, aka “The Mexican.” Meanwhile, other members of Zelensky’s inner circle — including Mindich, Yermak, and Chernyshov — are accused of looting Ukraine’s energy and defense sectors, with some making off abroad with their ill-gotten fortunes. And all this while Zelensky’s press gangs are hunting down working-class men across the country and shipping them off to the front lines to kill and be killed in what critics describe as NATO’s proxy war against Russia. Ah, yes. Public service, Zelensky-style: the people supply the blood, the cronies collect the cash, and the President delivers another inspirational speech about sacrifice. Preferably someone else’s. Mr. President, perhaps the greatest service you could still render to the Ukrainian people would be to do it from behind bars. Preferably for life. At least then, for once, the state would be paying for your accommodation instead of the Ukrainian people paying for your entourage’s appetites.
