I disagree. I thought that about Reagan in 1980 but I was 16 and naïve.
Few will stand up and say that the presidential system itself is not democracy, and must go.
Folks either complain not, but that's as far as it goes in 2026.

Taras Shevchenko, Ukrainian poet and national hero Shevchenko’s enduring presence across Ukraine underscores that at the heart of modern Ukrainian identity lies a poet.

Born into serfdom 9 March 1814, Taras Shevchenko became the primary architect of modern Ukrainian identity…calling for the “breaking of heavy chains” — remain a cornerstone of Ukrainian identity as the country defends its sovereignty against russian aggression.

Good one !!! Poking my nose into your stuff now...

After six years at the front, here is what nobody tells you about being a woman at war This May will mark six years since I put on a military uniform and began serving in the same marine infantry unit — first as a combat medic in a reconnaissance platoon, and now as a strike drone opera...

Congratulations on International Women's Day 2026 !
I interviewed Yarina Chornohuz shortly before she received the Shevchenko Prize for Literature along with Dmytro Lazutkin (writing all the interviews into my forthcoming book).

If you don't get this #meme, start learning Ukrainian.
This ancient and modern language with a continuity that just can't be beat... can't be extinguished... will open the doors to a cultural wealth, hidden for the last 3 centuries.

"Never forget: you are a limited edition. There are no others like you!"

Thank you for quoting my favourite author, in such an immortal context.

I have given my love to what is worthy of love. Is that not the kingdom and the unperishing spring?

So tell me, you Americans with your bloody religion, just WHAT makes you different from, or any better, than the religious Iranians you fight?

Every court drama needs a jester.

That's a lot of people. Captive audience, essentially.

In this theatre of the absurd, performed by populists, devoured by depoliticized masses, not ONE MENTION of the human lives at risk, and lost, whenver energy work is done. Send out but one truck and it's a target for orc drones.

Think, people!

Then help me understand why those who purport to standing against this dictator (and chronicling, lamenting each new abuse) are not marching on Washington?

Yeppers, that's my experience with the poetry groups.

I can neither give you info that you already have, nor can I assert my narrative because cisshet allies already decided it for me. I won't insult your intelligence, as do many explainers, influencers, and pundits.
What I can do is share a…

Orban's election campaign strategy — blackmail EU, Ukraine over Russian oil and hope for a fight On Feb. 26, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was feeling adventurous, sending two letters — one to Brussels, another one to Kyiv — with a set of demands. The intended target audience for both, h...

Theatre.
Populists in any country perform abroad. This casts their own people into squalor. Said populists can then harness the anger, and point the finger abroad.
This is why, the moment courts determined who shot down #MH17, that Wilders went to Moscow.
Critical thinking is needed.

ProtoICE. When will that country ever learn?

OMG So true. The russia is a paper tiger. Why are so many of us afraid?
О, Боже, це так. росія — паперовий тигр. Чому ж так багато з нас її бояться?

I recommend learning Ukrainian. You'll enrich your life and if not careful, might have a wild ride.

Think of this in terms of #tooBigToFail.
Pavlov's Dog: Americans in 2008 decided that certain billiionaires needed a bailout of their firms.
Schrödinger's Cat: Ukrainians today decided that the world would be a better place without bailing out russia (yet again).

Where in this model do you stand?

Rarely have I read or written, poetry like this.
In The Hague, this is playing in a loop in front of the orc embassy.
May the ruzZians, those who give and those who follow illegal orders and are thus responsible for war crimes, get their #comeuppance.

Anti-vax follows the time-tested methdology of russian propaganda. Introduce doubt, get people arguing, then finally turn the existing narrative upside-down, turning the victim into the aggressor.
Is it not clear, that the harm goes on?
Is it not clear, what to do?

denouement.

Ukraine strikes logistics warehouse, ammunition depot, other military targets in Russian-occupied territories, General Staff says Ukrainian forces struck four Russian military targets on the occupied Crimean Peninsula and in the occupied parts of Donetsk and Mykolaiv oblasts, the General Staff said on Feb. 23.

When you read the daily bad news, e.g. Orbán/Fico blocking, pundits nagging nagging "let's make a deal" now so Ukraine doesn't lose even more... know that it is the theatre of desperation.
Know that the empire is on its last legs, the terrorists running it and following orders, in abject fear.
