    I understand you can internet search but all the news I have heard since the 7th is Israel and Gaza. Was more a comment on medias attention span.
    Yep

    That usually means pictures and sound.
    And this leads to people talking at you and most likely wagging a finger.
    Im strange in that I read a bunch before bed. First the blue light from a screen. And then a solid hour with a book with paper pages. I exercise “late” and it takes me a while for the engines to cool down enough. Also mostly record watch the Sunday stuff on news (with peoples faces) and it’s usually more comprehensive than the sound bite. PBS BBC, and NPR are good listening.

    Aside:
    The PBS Do entary ON Clarence Thomas and his wife is amazing. I never knew Clarence got put through so much as a child, teenager, college student then adult trying to find a job. And his wife… holy . John Birch was God. But she also went through some fairly traumatic experiences. She had to be deprogrammed and I’m not sure if it worked out. Tragic stuff actually. I guess it can produce some very different type people than I typically hang out with. Or maybe it’s the age difference.

    Polaks got bittered by Zelenskyy's recent behavior.

    Bad timing within weeks of Gaza erupting. I think Zelenskyy should step aside. He's filled his role and done it greatly becoming a global figure.

    Honestly. him. I don't like him. Speaking for Polaks. Get a new leader.

    Polska did so much for Ukranians and his ass rewarded us like that. Even the most supportive Polaks are second guessing now. Either the Ukranian people replace his ass or it is a sign of things to come.

    We like Ukranians but all Polaks know they beheaded our children in WW2

    You're talking to the wrong person, Frosty. It's no longer up to Z, his Nazi's, or the other Ukrainians. If you want Z replaced, you're in the right country though. Biden is running this whole in' rigmarole. He'll decide if & when Z is out, and not 1 second sooner.

    Russia’s Slaughter of Indigenous People in Alaska Tells Us Something Important About Ukraine


    ...

    The removal of Baranov’s statue never cracked into the national news cycle. And maybe that’s understandable, given the protests rocking the rest of the country at the time. But it’s also understandable for a related reason: Russia’s colonization of Alaska — and the rampant violence, spiraling massacres and decimation of local Alaska Native populations that came along with it — is hardly well-known among the broader American body politic. Even with new reassessments of European colonization of North America, as well as the recent e in scholarship regarding the U.S.’s bloodied imperialism across the American West, Russia’s role in smothering and seizing Alaska stands apart as an overlooked chapter of colonialism on the continent.

    It’s also an overlooked aspect of Russian history inside Russia. Official accounts of Russian expansion suggest that Russia simply agglomerated neighboring peoples as part of its defensive acquisition of territory, happily gathering new peoples and new lands into Moscow’s embrace. In Russia’s telling, the word “colonialism” applies to only other empires, not to the Russian one. As Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently claimed, Russia has “not stained itself with the bloody crimes of colonialism.”

    ...

    It didn’t take long after the Russian landing for the familiar pattern of colonial crimes to play out, sending Indigenous populations reeling. Almost immediately, Russian colonizers began implementing the same playbook they’d perfected across Siberia. The first step was known as iasak, in which Russian representatives demanded tribute — furs, typically — from Indigenous populations. In order to assure compliance, Russian traders implemented the playbook’s second element: amanaty, in which Russians would seize hostages from Indigenous populations, held until the iasak requirements were completed. Often, Russian representatives would kidnap the children of local leaders — all the better to ensure compliance. In some cases, as historian Anne Hyde has written, the Russians would abduct the children of up to half of the male populations of a given community.

    Nor did they stop there. As the U.S.’s National Ins ute for Health notes, such an arrangement allowed the Russians to effectively “enslave” local populations. Demanding “furs in exchange for [the] lives” of women and children, Russians would “sexually exploit the hostages” — and even “execute the hostages” should the fur intake fall short. All of it, just “to set an example” for other recalcitrant Indigenous populations.

    But Biden speaks for Z, the Nazis + attendant denizens of Ukr.
