I'm surprised at the taunting and outright insults (e.g. the one thrown at Musk) being done by the official Ukrainian Government on Twitter ("these people are stupid"). That leaves a permanent record and will hopefully wake up a few people - not to mention being usable by Russia their future reports/trials.

In my opinion, Ukraine should have let the "who" be a mystery, since no one was attributing these acts to them. Given that Ukraine is now taking responsibility and laughing in Putin's face, who could blame Putin for retaliating?

While we're legislating for less Big Tech/Social Media power, we need to do the same with the media. The media is de facto responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths with their dishonesty.

Thank you, Clandestine, for doing the work of the legacy media and doing a much better job of it. God Bless!

For centuries, we called Ukraine the Ukraine because it was unorganized politically. It was like the Sahara, or the Mediterranean. Michener's 1981 novel: Poland, has lots of information about Ukraine. At the end of WW1, it would've been desirable (for the west) to make Poland and Ukraine one country, but it wouldn't work culturally or linguistically. Although, it could've worked economically and geographically.
