You can measure a nation's morality by whose graves it remembers. And whose it ignores. When the West speaks of Mao Zedong, it recites one number like a ritual: "Tens of millions dead under his rule." It is the mantra that absolves empire, the proof that whatever the West has

If armoured vehicles with gunmen at the top showed up in a Chinese city, the entire social media, MSM and political class in the US will be crying about freedom and demonizing the “CCP” for weeks. But this is America, so nobody cares.

Suddenly we have dozens of drones over many Eastern and Western European cities and all these sent by Russia? No radar or satellite can identify the source and the launching location/s? What a comedy to justify forthcoming dangerous measures.

This is David Ayzenberg, a Ukrainian Jew born in Kyiv in 1926. He was one of the very few survivors of the Babyn Yar massacre. Listen to his testimony: he states that they were led by Ukrainian nationalists, not Germans, to the execution site. OUN members directly participated

Amazing! Apparently, if you ban opposition political parties and opposition media, if you arrest your political opponents, if you ban election observers you don't like, if you flood the zone with scare stories about Russians, if you threaten voters with withdrawal of EU funds,
