Woman protests war live on Russian TV​




A woman interrupted a live broadcast of Russian television to deliver an anti-war message, carrying a sign that read “Stop the war, no to war. Don’t believe the propaganda. They are lying to you here," according to a translation provided to Fox News.


Russia’s First Channel employee that ran on TV carrying anti-war sign posts explanation​





Marina Ovsyannikova, the Russia’s First Channel employee ran onto a live state TV news Monday to protest the war posted a video to social media explaining her actions.

“What’s happening in Ukraine is a crime and Russia is the aggressor. And there is only one person responsible for this, this man is Vladimir Putin," Ovsyannikova said in the video. "My father is Ukrainian and my mother is Russian, they have never been enemies, and this necklace is a symbol – that Russia must immediately stop this war and our brotherly nations can still come together.

"Sadly, I’ve been working on the First Channel during last couple of years, have been doing Kremlin propaganda, for which now I am very ashamed," she continued. "I am ashamed that I let lies be spread on television, I’m ashamed that I participated in turning Russian people into zombies, we kept quiet when it all started in 2014, we did not rally when Kremlin poisoned Navalny, we have silently been watching this anti-human regime, and now, the whole world turned back to us, next 10 generations will not be able to get rid of the shame of this war.”

A senior U.S. defense official said Monday that almost all of the Russian military's advances in Ukraine remain stalled.

As it stands, Russian troops are about 9 miles outside of Ukraine's capital of Kyiv and it is believed they are trying to create a defensive line from the cities of Kharkiv to Mariupol, the official added, according to Fox News' Jennifer Griffin.

Polish Foreign Minister and Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Chairman-in-Office Zbigniew Rau told the U.N. Security Council Monday that Russia's military activity in Ukraine amounts to "state terrorism".

“This operation -- poorly prepared and executed -- turned out to be a strategic and tactical failure. But instead of preventing further unnecessary deaths in its own ranks, the Kremlin changed its tactics," he said.

"The invading force started to target the civilian population and infrastructure in an attempt to break the spirit of the Ukrainian people. This is deplorable and shameful and amounts to state terrorism, "Rau continued. "Schools, hospitals and kindergartens are deliberately being targeted with internationally-banned weapons. The reports of women and children killed are devastating.”

I think building the islands in South China Sea contested space, flooding our country with fentanyl and selling the chemicals to mexico to exploit our countries flawed drug war policy by filling the chemical gap with the. materials needed to make p2p meth is covert warfare (it’s my opinion)of the type in the art of war striking the enemy without directly being drawn into a military confrontation
making fentanyl so cheap and prevalent it overtakes dope and is now in every single drug causing od’s that (to me) is covert warfare
“Therefore the skillful leader subdues the enemy's troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field.”- the art of war
it is taking out our population and weakening the age group we need to muster the draft making them addicts of drug they don’t even want to take mixed in with their party drugs
buying our real estate I’m a new yorker they buy our real estate here
buying our debt
I’m not racist im not anti Asian I’m just telling it like it is this isn’t new I feel shitty stacking these facts because I’m white *white guilt*
they make the parts of everything we own, use, the boomers sold us to China
this is hybrid warfare this is brillant want to talk brilliance? putim is not brilliant(my opinion) he is a heavy handed kgb thug stuck in the past this is brilliance this is the long con he is doing exactly what the art of war says not to do. Destroy the country you want to own.

what do they import from us? And what do we import from them?
“Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. “- sun tzu

Gas was 5 bucks in 2006 or 7
damn I’m old
we will be fine
cyclical these things are
walk more drive slower
that’s why the National speed limit was 55 for 20 someodd yrs the gas crisis the Arab gas crisis? Id have to Google it and I won’t do that (trust me) believe me 🙃dont trust anyone who says that irl it’s a dishonesty red flag fyi
the subconscious leaking out. Gotta love human nature 🚩



here arab oil embargo and why speed limits were so damn slow for 20yrs
Arab members of the Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) protested the West’s support of Israel in the Yom Kippur War by stopping oil shipments to the United States, Japan and Western Europe. OPEC also flexed its new-found economic muscle by quadrupling oil prices, placing a choke-hold on America’s oil-hungry consumers and industries. The embargo had a global impact, sending the U.S. and European economies into recession. As part of his response to the embargo, President Nixon signed a federal law lowering all national highway speed limits to 55 mph. The act was intended to force Americans to drive at speeds deemed more fuel-efficient, thereby curbing the U.S. appetite for foreign oil. With it, Nixon ushered in a policy of fuel conservation and rationing not seen since World War II.

saw an interesting comment on the Ukraine situation...

I am a retired Naval Officer so let me flesh out a couple of your points… starting from the bottom.

1) Crimea is not the only access to the Black Sea that Russia has. It is just the best. Novorossiysk is actually a bigger port, but it is 250 miles further from Istanbul and the Bosporus than Sevastopol is. The way that Crimea juts down into the Black Sea if Ukraine had become hostile then ships transiting from Novorossiysk would have been easy targets.

2) Russia has not been losing access TO the Mediterranean Sea from the Black Sea (they still have to transit the Bosporus and Dardanelles). But you are right that Russia has been losing access IN the Mediterranean though.

During the Cold War the Soviet Navy could put into any number of Communist ports on the Adriatic Sea as well as friendly ports in Syria, Egypt, Libya, etc. But NATO has cleverly expanded into ALL of the nations on the Adriatic… and Egypt and Libya are no longer friendly. Nor does leaving the Med help much… go North and the only neutral country on the way to the Baltic is Ireland… go South and the only Russian ally is Angola way down the African coast.

So if you look at a map you realize pretty quickly that Syria is the only place outside the Black Sea that Russia’s navy can be assured of fuel and shipyard services for thousands of miles. Hence their move to bolster the Assad regime in 2015.

That’s the conclusion common sense should bring you too, but I guess some people believe Ukraine is the only thing worth talking about…a war on the other end of the world vs a virus right here in America…I get it the war is big news with a lot of crimes against humanity, but supposedly COVID was such a big deal we shut everything down for a period of time….honestly it’s so fucking pathetic how brain washed some people are
