Russia tells US envoy that Russian-American relations are on the verge of rupture

Source: Yahoo

The Russian Foreign Ministry said Monday that it had summoned the U.S. ambassador to warn that President Joe Biden's recent remarks have put Russian-American relations on the verge of rupture.

Biden last week described Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "war criminal" as Russia's missile attacks on Ukraine cities intensified. The Foreign Ministry, in a social media post, called the statement and other references to Putin and the Russian invasion "unworthy of a statesman of such high rank."

The ministry warned Ambassador John Sullivan that hostile actions taken against Russia would be met with a "decisive and firm rebuff."

The warning came hours after Ukraine firmly rejected a Russian offer to open two safe corridors out of Mariupol in exchange for the city's surrender as the relentless missile strikes on the battered seaport city stretched deeper into a fourth week.

Typical narcissistic, sociopathic megalomania from Putler and his stooges.

They illegally invade a country, lie about it, then threaten people who don't fall in line.

Sorry, we can do without Russia. I wonder if the RW is still selling those "I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat" shirts they loved so much.

US fears Russia could develop 'concentration camps'; Mariupol school sheltering 400 residents is bom

Source: Yahoo

The pounding of the besieged southern port city of Mariupol intensified Sunday and a top U.S. official expressed concern about the prospect of Russian-organized "concentration and prisoner camps" as Russia's bloody assault on Ukraine waded deeper into its fourth week.

The Mariupol city council accused the Russian military of bombing an art school where about 400 people had taken shelter. There was no immediate word on casualties at the art school, but the city council said on social media the building was destroyed and people could remain under the rubble.

A few days earlier, Russian forces bombed a theater in Mariupol where civilians took shelter. Mariupol, a strategic port on the Azov Sea, has been encircled by Russian troops for weeks, cut off from energy, food and water supplies and facing a relentless bombardment.

"Russia continues the genocide of the Ukrainian people and civilians of Mariupol," the post said. "Every war criminal will answer for his crimes against humanity, against the people of Mariupol."

Russia warns United States: we have the might to put you in your place

Source: Yahoo News

LONDON (Reuters) -Russia warned the United States on Thursday that Moscow had the might to put the world's pre-eminent superpower in its place and accused the West of stoking a wild Russophobic plot to tear Russia apart.

Dmitry Medvedev, who served as president from 2008 to 2012 and is now deputy secretary of Russia's Security Council, said the United States had stoked "disgusting" Russophobia in an attempt to force Russia to its knees.

"It will not work - Russia has the might to put all of our brash enemies in their place," Medvedev said.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, the United States and its European and Asian allies have slapped sanctions on Russian leaders, companies and businessmen, cutting off Russia from much of the world economy.

Amid mounting sanctions, Russian lawmaker demands America return Alaska to Russia

A lawmaker in Russia has demanded the United States return Alaska to Russia as a reparation for American-led sanctions crippling his country's economy following the invasion of Ukraine.

Parliament member Oleg Matveychev made those demands, along with saying he also wanted America to return Fort Ross in California, during an interview on Sunday, The Daily Beast reports. The publication says Matveychev is known as the "Kremlin's spin-doctor."

Russian forces take 500 hostage in Mariupol hospital, Ukraine official says

Source: https://news.yahoo.com/zelenskyy-tells-russian-tro

Russian forces took control of a hospital in the port city Mariupol, holding about 500 people hostage late Tuesday, according to a regional leader.

Pavlo Kyrylenko said on the social media app Telegram that Russian forces rounded up 400 people from their houses in the neighborhood and drove them into the hospital, where about 100 patients, doctors and other hospital staff were. Kyrylenko said Russians were using the hostages as human shields.

“It’s impossible to leave the hospital, they are shooting hard,” Kyrylenko said.

He said staff are continuing to treat patients in makeshift wards set up in a basement despite damage done to the building from shelling.

The siege of Regional Intensive Care Hospital in Mariupol comes the week after Russian forces bombed a maternity hospital in the same city. Three people were killed, including a child.

I am getting sick of political euphemisms.

It seems like there are way too many of them and they are all designed to hide truth.

Lies - disinformation
Bigoted white xenophobic nativists - alt-right
alternative facts - huge lies
Misspoke - caught lying
Out of Context - caught being an intolerant jackass
If you were offended - makes it the receiver of information's fault because they were triggered
Triggered - dismissing the reaction to my insensitivity
Cancel Culture - Why can't I be a jerk in public?
Snowflake - someone with empathy
White hatred - The majority race feels sad
Hollywood elite - Jew
Bankers - Jew
Job Creators - American oligarchs
East Coast liberals - Jews
Right Wing News - Propaganda filled with lies and bigoted dog whistles.
Thoughts and Prayers - Doing nothing to prevent things from happening while sounding like you're doing something meaningful
Religious Right - Statists using religion to control groups they want destroyed
Russian asset - TRAITOR

There are many others.

All these phrase empower the worst of our society to actively dismiss any criticism and gives them a messaging advantage by controlling the language.

We need to stop allowing this. Call it what it is. LIES!!!

I saw how Tulsi Gabbard said the things about (ugh) Mittens and demanded he resign. Some Twitter user called what she was saying "disinformation." Weak sauce. Call it was it is: "The Russian tool was LYING!!!"

I see this language a lot. It allows people wiggle room to save face and weasel out of their crap. We all really should stop using the language of the political enemy (not opponent. They have declared war on us and our political ideology. We need to accept that and fight back).

No more "disinformation." They lie. No more alt-right. They are bigoted nativists.

We need to stop parroting these words. No more euphemisms.

Or, I'll let George Carlin say it better than I ever could:

Someone went to GFM and said my drive to raise funds for my flight to see my wife

is fraudulent.

GFM has shut down my ability to log in and has not sent me an email so I can change my password after repeated requests.

They sent me an email saying that they need to contact me because of "unusual activity in (my) GoFundMe account."

When this everlasting nightmare end for me? I can't do this anymore. I can't do it.

The one person I want in my life and it's getting harder and harder to get back to her.

Someone here in one of my earlier posts even called me a fraud and told me they will continue to "document my movements so my fraud is recorded."

I just want my wife. I don't know to do anymore.

Zelensky Theme Song lyrics (for those that remember the 1950s TV show)

Out on the road,
When the temperature's cold,
Stands a hero known as Zelensky.
This bold president
With a "Z" represents,
The "Z" that stands for Zelensky.

Zelensky, Zelensky, the fox so cunning and free,
Zelensky, Zelensky, whose people make the mark of the Z.

He didn't want to fight,
But he knows it is right
And the people all know of Zelensky.
He's friend of the meek,
For Ukraine he will speak,
This very unique, Mr. Zelensky.

Zelensky, Zelensky, doesn't need a ride, but more ammo,
Zelensky, Zelensky, who'll fight till the Russian all go home.

Zelensky, Zelensky, Zelensky, Zelensky, Zelensky, Zelensky....
