The Swiss House of Representatives completely lacks understanding of the history of the USSR. Don’t they have more important matters to deal with in their own country?

As someone who was born, educated, and lived in various regions of the USSR, I can say there was no specific discrimination against Ukrainians in the 1930s. The Soviet Union, like any other country, had its dark days, but these difficulties were experienced across the entire country, not just in Ukraine. Alongside these challenges, the USSR also saw significant positive developments. Many poor regions achieved substantial economic growth, and nearly 100% of the population gained access to education. I can list more...

It’s important to remember that people from all the former republics — Ukrainians, Latvians, Estonians, Lithuanians, Russians, Georgians, etc. and many others — played equal roles in the history of the USSR, whether in good or bad times. If Ukrainians want to assign blame for the Soviet era, they should should blame their own ancestors.

The two wars - in Ukraine and between the US/Israel and Iran - go on. and both are intensifying. In fact in both wars we look to be on the brink of an escalation cycle.

Meanwhile the global economy continues to sag, energy problems stack up, the positions of Merz and Starmer unravel, and in the UK we have had a grisly murder of a young student, which is intensifying political polarisation.

A great deal therefore to discuss.

1st Ukraine battle map update in a # of months by Scott at Kalibrated on yt, a previous guest on The Duran

  • IMO he produced the finest map updates including topography which even big channel mappers ignored
  • in recent months, Scott cited large grey areas with only small to very small units along most of the front under constant drone threat even in the rear
  • barring a large urban attack\liberation a lot less movement means fewer big map changes, all the while drones fly upon both armies in this ongoing war of attrition which favours Russia, but shows little signs of ending

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
