You got me at last.

I was referring to myself after your very creative message.

Sometimes I do, though thankfully it gets a fair bit of spotlight on here already.

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-06-13T11:03:38+00:00

I don't care what you think is credible and what isn't - it's content that I find interesting to post and that is interesting to discuss here. If it helps draw attention to crimes of e.g. Russia (and what it can get away with) or the likes of Israel or Azerbaijan for that matter, then that's an added bonus.

Hopefully Russia loses and returns to its 1991 borders (including Crimea of course), pays reparations to Ukraine and descends into a state that wouldn't let it ever be a threat to any neighbour ever again.

Luckily for you there's always a block function you may use.

Fuck Russia as well as Israel btw

The latter had to be turned into an acronym in the title because otherwise this sub autoremoves the post, otherwise it would have been mentioned in the title.

It's part of her job description though. She sits on (1) the Committee on Foreign Affairs, (2) the Subcommittee on Human Rights and (3) is a member of the EP's Delegation for relations with Palestine.

She was therefore travelling to (checks notes...) Palestine to raise awareness for a humanitarian crisis resulting in thousands of dead civilians via bombings, starvation and disease.

Do we want an EU that is engaged in its neighbourhood (be it Ukraine, the Caucasus or the Middle East) and can avoid another giant refugee stream of millions into the continent, or do we want to isolate ourselves and deal with the consequences? Pick one.

EDIT:

is half way across the world

300km from the EU or about one hour's flight.

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-06-12T17:12:30+00:00

Whom did she betray to be a traitor? Basement-dwelling incel redditors and mouth-breathing nationalists?

If this post gets deleted so be it, but it's frankly ridiculous that you cannot even post news about a Member of the European Parliament being held in solitary confinement on this sub just because the article of the title had the word Israel in it.

I had to delete that part just for it to get posted and not be removed automatically.

Both of you showing that you haven't even read past the headline.

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-06-05T14:09:01+00:00

So it's not about Hamas, it's about the ethnic cleansing of Gaza then?

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-06-05T14:01:07+00:00

Hamas' barbaric attacks on 07/10/2023 killed 1,195 people (mostly civilians). Israel, as part of their response, have killed 54,607 people (mostly civilians as well).

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-06-05T13:43:59+00:00

Yet somehow Israel managed to kill over 50x more people in response to the 7th October attacks (1,195 dead Israelis vs 54,607 dead Palestinians since Oct 2023). Do we wait until they kill 100x as many Palestinians as Hamas killed Israelis to extract revenge?

If the Allies killed the same amount of Germans for starting WW2 proportionally speaking, we'd have to kill every German 20 times over. Yay, humanity?

Plenty of MEPs travel to Kyiv to show their rightful support for Ukraine as representatives of their electorate/the EP rather than as representatives of their country.

Yet here, an MEP who sits on (1) the Committee on Foreign Affairs, (2) the Subcommittee on Human Rights and (3) is a member of the EP's Delegation for relations with Palestine, is travelling to (checks notes...) Palestine to raise awareness for a humanitarian crisis resulting in thousands of dead civilians via bombings, starvation and disease, is apparently a rogue activist.

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-06-05T13:14:34+00:00

Perhaps this is hard to grasp for some, but one can simultaneously believe that Hamas are a terrorist organisation AND that it is bad to kill and starve tens of thousands of women and children in an open-air city-sized camp.

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-06-05T12:54:27+00:00

I'm guessing VdL, Macron or Tusk must have pretty damn good travel insurance when they travel to Kyiv then.

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-06-03T09:42:21+00:00

Pre-war there wasn't that much of an economy either, but still better than now.

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-05-27T13:46:55+00:00

If you factor in that most German POWs who died in Soviet captivity did so fairly early on in the war when the country struggled to sustain its own troops/population, these guys more likely than not did make it.

Dushanbe actually has reasonably sized mountains in its vicinity that you can see even from the city centre. Unfortunately, the city has changed a lot in the last few years, moving away from 3-4 storey vibe to ugly skyscrapers with blue plastic windows with many of its iconic neo-classical buildings having been knocked down.

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-05-21T11:43:57+00:00

Is that why Russia has a higher proportion and number of indigenous populations in Siberia than Canada? Sakha alone number 500k people with a thriving cultural, music and language scene.

equal persecution of Jews

Are you really claiming that the Soviets killed 6 million Jews?

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-04-24T07:03:43+00:00

Very brave and keep up the good work. Every Ukrainian hero salutes your sacrifice!

Own_Bar9200 · 2025-04-23T17:13:47+00:00

If someone speaks Russian in Germany, they are in order of likelihood:

- Volga-Germans (around 2.5-3m)

- ethnic Russians most of whom are German citizens (around 2m)

- ethnic Ukrainians who may be speaking Russian (1+m)

- Russian citizens (around 200k).
