A member of Russia’s permanent mission to the UN has resigned, describing himself as “ashamed” of the country for its invasion of Ukraine, according to posts on his social media pages.

“Long overdue, but today I resign from civil service. Enough is enough,” Boris Bondarev, an arms control adviser to the Russian UN mission, wrote in a statement.

“For twenty years of my diplomatic career I have seen different turns of our foreign policy, but never have I been so ashamed of my country as on February 24 of this year,”

If you still for whatever reason think I am American. I have spoken to NGB on the phone in the past, ask him how American my accent is.  :))

Last time I spoke with him, he told me you had a Kentuckyan drawl. You certainly get about over there. I've had you down as being resident in about 20 states  :))

I am trying to get into the Russian psyche but can't put behind me the pattern of behaviour displayed by Putin towards his enemies, let alone the brutality of the Stalin era. However as a balance I post this video, whose conclusions might surprise many. https://youtu.be/dkMlLkCRmRQ

    If you are interested, have a quick read of this, Steve. The blocking of the ports and the grain is not Russia's doing. Ukraine are preventing the ships leaving and have let loose hundreds of mines to hold the ships and their crews hostage. This is confirmed by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO)
  https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/05/no-the-ukraine-war-has-not-stoked-a-global-food-crisis.html

    The world knows who started this crisis. There are remnants of the propagandised remaining in Western NATO states that still believe everything Russia Bad just as they have been taught for years, but they will slowly but surely emerge from their conditioning. The world is changing rapidly. The G7, DAVOS, WEF are no longer the Masters of the Universe. Economic difficulties in Western States brought on by their idiotic, suicidal and illegal sanctions against Russia are coming home to roost. Blaming Russia, Putin, Assad, China etc. will no longer work. It is not Russia, China or any other governments that will be regime changed this time. Those governments compromised or idiotic enough to involve themselves in attempting to bring down Russia and Putin have guaranteed their own regime change.

    The Russia blocking grain is just the same as the lies about Snake Island, dead Russian Generals that appear alive days later, Ghost of Kiev, Russia running out of soldiers/fuel/missiles/tanks and on and on. Ukraine, who are NATO's proxy force, only have propaganda left as an effective weapon. Trouble is, it's only effective in about 12% of the world and even there only fleetingly. The rest of the world is turning East. NATO has been exposed as weak militarily.
    It was only the threat of US/UK led NATO military that "guaranteed" the world economy was run in ways that were beneficial to those Western powers, now exposed as not so powerful after all. The Western alliances are powerless to stop the coming multipolar world. You should celebrate it. We might get rid of the compromised, corrupt warmongering fuckwits currently governing us.

The Jews were given a hard time in Ukraine weren't they ? Don't know if it still goes on, though it's noticed that Putin has aimed for the areas with the highest Jewish population.
