An on-the-spot report from anarchists in Kharkov
http://libcom.org/news/invasion-ukraine-anarchist-media-call-kharkov-28022022
Is the media sanitising their coverage?
Seen ample footage of wrecked and destroyed vehicles but not a single corpse.
“BBC ‘in danger’ if Kremlin TV banned’ is a headline in the paper today. I thought it might be saying that, if RT was banned for being impartial, then Downing Street TV might be in danger of being banned on the same grounds. But it was about something else.
Movim. Putin represents Russian capitalism, or, the faction of it that is behind him.
With nowhere to go, and no way out, Russian capitalism will compel him to press the button, in his capacity as head of state.Or, does capitalism not use human agency?
Who presses buttons, who launches missiles? Workers under command. Human beings.A rare media report from the forgotten DPR and LPR
And another report of the racism being at the borders
White Ukrainian Refugees Accepted by Nations Who Shut Out Others
‘All this media attention. Yet the Iraq war barely got a mention, least of all the 1m dead’
James19 – yes and the utter hypocrisy of the Haig embarking immediately on an investigation of ‘crimes against humanity’ in the Ukraine war. Apparently the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis doesn’t count as a war crime and the oligarchs Blair and Bush can rest easy in their dachas.
That obnoxious Starmer character has ruled that anyone critical of NATO will be booted out of the Labour Party
Alan — my apologies for having led you into such misadventure. Neither deepl nor, I dare say, probably any other translation software on this planet could safely be used toward such an end, and I certainly did not intend to suggest such. I only meant: for language X –> English translation, deepl is usually better than Google Translate, and that’s all.
Good thing our russophone was on hand to fix it.
Not your fault, ZJW. My impatience. I should have used it and then had it checked out before uploading.
Already the global cost of living inflation was high, now for many, the war will make the price of food climb
And the prospect of an energy shortage
Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s former president and now deputy chairman of its Security Council said on Twitter: “Welcome to the brave new world where Europeans are very soon going to pay €2,000 for 1,000 cubic metres of natural gas!”
And green policies? Forget the promises
The German Council on Foreign Relations’ Meister thinks “We will have further discussions on nuclear power stations and coal power stations, which will be very controversial for German society,”
This is a civilized city!
They're blue-eyed and blond-haired!
This is Europe, not the Third World!Tonight on @MSNBC, @AymanM and I discussed some of the awful and, frankly, racist coverage of the Ukraine war & Ukrainian refugees compared to the MidEast:pic.twitter.com/ir6qWHBNE6

While we hear a lot about Russian oligarchs and their “ill-gotten gains” we hear rather less about Ukrainian oligarchs and theirs.
“In total, the top 100 wealthiest business people in Ukraine control around $44,5 billion, according to Forbes, which accounts for 27% of Ukrainian GDP in September, 2021.”
Another Russian language article by StephenS of our American partty for comrades to spread on appropriate social media.
