Mark Hurst:

↳ Cooh John @6:15

Welcome, Cooh John ♥ 6:16pm
PaulRobeson1924: Recall the German “A-B Aktion”

To murder any intellectual opposition to Nazi rule in Poland- before the invasion & war began

🤖 ♥ 6:16pm
tim: Did Yaroslav say Boris Yeltsin warned Zelenskyy about the invasion? 🤖 ♥ 6:16pm
Spikey BXL: "I don't need a ride, I need ammunition" ♥ 6:16pm
Mark Hurst:

↳ tim @6:16

No - UK prime minister (at the time) Boris Johnson 🤖 ♥ 6:16pm
Spikey BXL:

↳ tim @6:16

No, a former Ukrainian President, if heard correctly ♥ 6:17pm

↳ tim @6:16

I'm not being a wiseacre, just that's what I thought I heard. ♥ 6:18pm
Mark Hurst:

↳ Spikey BXL @6:16

I think it was the former Ukr president who warned Yaroslav... it was Boris Johnson who suggested to Zelensky that he might go into exile. (Johnson didn't warn Zelensky about the invasion) 🤖 ♥ 6:18pm

The Polish nation was occupied by the Germans longer than any other nation during WWII. The Polish people suffered accordingly.   6:19pm
Rolando: Greetings friends, at last I’ve made it here after some time, been listening to all the past shows in archives, looking forward to learning lots. ♥ 6:22pm
Folsom: I can't figure out that the Russians put so many land mines in Ukraine to stop the Ukraine forces. I wonder if they will remove them if they keep eastern Ukraine. ♥ 6:24pm
PaulRobeson1924:

↳ PaulRobeson1924 @6:16

No english equivalent word for this German word “Aktion” - meaning roughly operation/action group

A-B Aktion

Spikey BXL:

↳ PaulRobeson1924 @6:24

Very similar to the domestic night of the long knives where the SA was beheaded.   6:28pm
advdk: The narrative that is being pushed here is so deeply biased that it would take a couple of hours of history lessons to only have the smallest possibility for an honest discussion. Do these Pullitzer and Orwellian prize winners not have enough platform for their bootlicking propaganda already. Shame on you WFMU. ♥ 6:32pm

Spikey BXL:

↳ joe mulligan @6:37

A tzarist fairy tale to justify a brutal and illegal war of aggression ♥ 6:38pm
Matty No Times: I always love a extremely vague retort that holds no real information, only accusations haha ♥ 6:41pm
PaulRobeson1924: I wonder, what are these boys eating? The ones doing the killing and dying

Why war

🤖 ♥ 6:43pm
Handy Haversack: It's just wild that the right-wing meme factory and propaganda wing has swung SO HARD on this one. A couple of years ago, sentiment seemed pretty universal in the right and center-right wings of American political discourse (i.e., mainstream politics). That it has shifted so hard against support for Ukraine seems very much wedded to the Russia-loving MAGA takeover being complete on the farther right reaches. Just still shocks me how complete and total it has been. Since when do American politicians not want to send weapons? Sending weapons is pretty much what modern American politics is all about. 🤖 ♥ 6:44pm

I also blame Russian hackers for my hair loss and weight gain. They got their fingers in a lot of pies! ♥ 6:52pm
PaulRobeson1924: I’m cleaning my bathroom bowl! ♥ 6:52pm

Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mark! 🤖 ♥ 6:53pm

If we had a real government, we definitely wouldn't have a real government!   6:54pm

DjLorraine: Since a free democratic country was surprised attacked without a reason i was certain my aquaintence in CT would understand my concern. Somehow he was spouting disinnformation about Ukraine. I tried to explain different aspects of this war but his opinion was already formed. Saddly it did effect my perceived friendship. 🤖 ♥ 6:56pm

Handy Haversack:

↳ coelacanth∅ @6:57

Was it on Techtonic that I learned that Tesla makes most of its money not on car sales but on selling the carbon credits it earns by making electric cars to regular car companies so that they don't have to try?

And then of course selling the data.
