I feel like setting the record straight concerning the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a few related topics, particularly Nazis. What follows is a long text. Because it is such a common misconception, I should remind that NATO “expanded” (Finland and Sweden joining NATO) as a response to Russia's attack on Ukraine on 24 February 2022, not the other way around. Until that day, majority of Finland opposed the idea of joining NATO (unofficial polls on the subject were conducted several times in year since 1998). But in 25 February 2022, when Russia's official message changed from “we appreciate Finland’s neutrality” to “Finland may not join NATO, or else”, that's when the President Niinistö felt that Finland's sovereignty is being threatened, and the balance in public opinion quickly changed, to that we need to join NATO immediately in case Russia wants to invade our country next (again). In Sweden, the public opinion had already begun to shift in NATO-favorable direction after Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014, but it took until 2022 for the balance to change permanently, and the political decisions in the matter were made following Finland’s lead. Even if the NATO claim was true, Russia has no business conducting invasions in not-Russia. That is nothing but pure imperialism and expansionism. Even if the claims about Nazis in Ukraine were true, it’s none of Russia’s business. Russia, not-Russia. Russia, not-Russia. Russia, not-Russia. Learn the difference. (And don’t deflect by talking about USA.) Yes, during WW2 Finland allied with Nazi Germany for a moment. There were not many good options; we most certainly did not agree with Nazi ideals. In August 1939, Nazi Germany and USSR made a temporary pact that secretly stipulated that Finland, Latvia, Estonia, and parts of Poland and Romania, are to be considered USSR’s sphere of influence and that USSR may invade these lands and build military bases in them without Germany retaliating, and in exchange USSR would not impede Germany’s efforts elsewhere. In October 1939, in line with this pact, USSR officials tried to negotiate with Finland about mutual exchange of several territories, but these negotiations were fruitless. As a consequence, in November 1939, USSR attacked Finland, without a declaration of war, in a false-flag operation following an intense wave of anti-Finland propaganda to make the Russian people complacent with the upcoming invasion of Finland. In 1940, during the Interim Peace, Germany sought alliance with Finland for an offensive against USSR. Finland accepted strategic/tactical cooperation in exchange for receiving weapons and other supplies such as food. This was partially because at the time, Germany had conquered Denmark and Norway, and we were trapped: nobody else could help us recover from the Winter War. However, Finland refused to allow German usage of our land for military operations unless it happens that USSR attacks Finland again. On 22 June 1941, Germany attacked USSR. On the same day, Hitler also announced in his speech Germany’s alliance with Finland. USSR promptly attacked Finland the same day. For three days, Finland did not respond, in an attempt to remain neutral in the war between Germany and USSR. On 25 June, USSR launched aerial strikes against several cities in Finland. In response, the prime minister of Finland declared that our country is again in war against USSR, and the rest of our alliance with Germany was materialized de facto. The war lasted for three years. Had Finland not allied with Germany, Finland likely would have been destroyed for at least 50 years, probably forever. And this is the outcome that dictator Putin is now seeking in Ukraine, too. I must also point out that had the whole Nazi Germany not happened, dictator Stalin would have likely invaded and destroyed most of the continental Europe, including all its civilization, freedom, democracy, value of life, right to own private property, way of life, and tens of millions of lives. Today, I feel NATO has a similar restraining role. I do not mean that Nazi Germany should have won or that they were good-intentioned or that they never invaded any country. Quite the contrary. They even attacked us in 1944 (Lapland war) in retaliation of being forced to withdraw from Finland and as an expression of their disappointment at our neutrality, and destroyed many of our northern cities and towns as they did. Just, that sometimes, it can be useful to have the enemy’s enemy on your side. Many medical treatments are toxic to you, but because they are even more toxic to the ailments afflicting your body, they are still useful. But unlike Germany whose last concentration camps were liberated in 1945 and is no longer doing those, Russia kept doing gulags until 1950s, and is once again doing them (“filtration camps”). If you need to find fascism/nazis somewhere, look no further: Russia’s where it is. And today, we see Russia using the exact same methods that they used in WW2 times. Attacking sovereign nations, negotiating spheres of influence agreements with other military powers, spreading propaganda to sell the idea that it’s a good idea to attack a country. The Soviet Union may have disbanded, but Russia does not change.

I think this Arab says it best @elonmusk. This Arab commentator just delivered a brutal wake-up call: “After 1,400 years of cursing the Jews & Christians in our prayers… we have no unity, no countries. They reached space, slept on the Moon, split the atom, and invented the digital revolution, while we obsess over entering the bathroom and what ruins our ablution besides women and black dogs.” “Must our minds remain captive after 1,400 years?” The self-own is devastating. Time to face reality.

When a fly falls into a cup of coffee... The Italian throws away the coffee, smashes the cup, and storms out in outrage. The German carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it, and brews a fresh coffee. The Frenchman removes the fly and drinks the coffee. The Chinese man eats the fly and throws away the coffee. The Russian drinks the coffee with the fly because it was free. The Israeli sells the coffee to the Frenchman, sells the fly to the Chinese man, sells the cup to the Italian, drinks a cup of tea, and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee. The Palestinian blames the Israeli because the fly fell into his coffee, files a complaint at the United Nations, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, spends the money on explosives, and then blows up the café where the Italian, Frenchman, Chinese man, German, and Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give his cup of coffee to the Palestinian so that peace can finally be achieved.

When I was Muslim, I would argue & say we had the same prophets as Christians. But this one broke me: Surah 17:101: Allah gave Moses 9 clear signs. I knew the list. The staff. The shining hand. The drought. The flood. The locusts. The lice. The frogs. The blood. I held onto those 9 signs like proof I had the real story. But bro, you know what shook me? There’s a night missing. After all nine signs, right before Israel walks out of Egypt, something happens that the Quran goes completely silent on. A lamb is slaughtered. Its blood painted on the doorposts. And death passes over every house covered by that blood. The Passover. I grew up hearing the whole Exodus story. But nobody ever told me about the blood on the door. Islam just skips it. And here’s what wrecked me. The Bible, the book I was taught was corrupted, mentions the Passover over 70 times. Exodus. Leviticus. Numbers. Deuteronomy. The Psalms. The Prophets. The Gospels. Paul. 70 times. So I had to ask myself the honest question: If men corrupted this book, why would they obsess over the same story for 1500 years? Across dozens of authors who never met? You don’t forge a document 70 times. That’s just not corruption. That to me is preservation. And then I read the line that finished me off. 1 Corinthians 5:7. “Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.” That’s when it hit me. The whole story was never just about Moses. It was always pointing to a King. The final lamb. Whose blood, when applied to your life, makes death pass over you. Forever. The Quran gave me 9 signs but hid the one night that explains why any of them happened. Because the moment a Muslim understands the Passover… he’s one step away from the cross.

Dear @TeamYouTube , My channel was previously reviewed by a human specialist, my appeal was accepted, and the channel was restored. One week later, it was terminated again immediately after uploading a new video. I am not asking for a new appeal decision - I am asking for someone to investigate why a channel that was already reinstated was removed again so quickly. Could a specialist please take a look at this case? 🔗My channel: youtube.com/channel/UCa23YJW… Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hamas terrorists are firing mortars from tents in civilian clothing. When Israel kills them, Hamas claims they were just innocent civilians. It was all propaganda from the beginning.

🚨 Dear @TeamYouTube, Today marks 27 days since my channel was re-terminated after being successfully restored through a human-reviewed appeal. My channel "Drawing Stories" (250K subscribers) was manually reviewed, approved, and restored after an appeal. However, just one week later, an automated system instantly terminated it again the moment I uploaded a new, guideline-compliant video. ✅ Human review approved restoration ✅ 1.5 years with zero Community Guidelines violations ❌ Automated system removed the channel again I believe this may be a technical error that reversed the original human decision. I'm currently stuck in an automated support loop and would be incredibly grateful if a human specialist could review my case. I respect YouTube's policies and only want the opportunity to continue creating positive content for my audience. Thank you for your time and help. 🙏 @YouTubeCreators @nealmohan - Mariana Ryzhova

DAY 139. Tweet #450. And honestly… I am tired. I think I AM DONE. 💔 Out of 450 tweets, @TeamYouTube only ever replied to my very 1st one. They told me to check my DM. The DM told me to use chat support. Chat support instantly closes my ticket and says "wait 90 days." Email support sends the exact same automated bot reply. I have shared every piece of evidence. There is literally nothing left for me to share. I don't think they can even see me anymore. 9 years of my life dedicated to this platform, and this is how the journey ends. I NEVER expected this kind of support from YouTube. This is it. 😔 #youtube #ypp #THEEND #END #demonitized #youtubeにデジモンアップ

iltalehti.fi/politiikka/a/2c… Upeaa @willerydman! Hienosti ja rohkeasti laulettu.

When I first began reading Quran, my first impression was that it constantly alternates between "Allah is so great and merciful and awesome" and "but those who don't believe the Prophet will be punished OH-SO-HARD" [said by the same self-proclaimed "prophet", mind you]. It does not really have any substance in it -- no nourishment whatsoever for the believers, it's just a constant tug-war between these two themes.

I spent days literally begging @TeamYouTube for a real human review. I asked if I was being ignored. I asked if I was blocked. Their response after 132 days of waiting? An automated, copy-paste bot template telling me to "make changes" to a channel that does not violate a single policy. I do NOT violate any monetization policies. My content is original and compliant. Since YouTube refuses to provide a transparent human review, I have officially escalated this to the Government of India. Filed under IT Rules, 2021. GAC Appeal No. 15429/2026. Stop running away from legal accountability behind automated scripts. Real creators deserve real support. #Ypp #youtube #YouTubeSupport #Day132

🚨Breaking news🚨 A Muslim who: - Reads the Quran and even memorizes it - Prays five times daily - Says the Shahada - Fasts during Ramadan - Performs all Islamic ritual rites - Prays in the mosque - Follows the teachings of Muhammad Can still kill in the name of Allah, behead people without remorse, gun others down, or throw bombs at innocent people while shouting “Allahu Akbar.” In Christianity, a person who: - Prays always - Reads the Bible daily - Accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior - Follows the teachings of Christ - Goes to church regularly Will never desire to hurt anyone, let alone kill them. Such a person is taught to love others as they love themselves and would never think of taking another person’s life in the name of God. The difference is the Spirit behind the religion. If your god cannot transform your heart to love others and keep you from hurting people in his name, then you are not dealing with the true God but with Satan.👌

🚨The ultimate @TeamYouTube support loophole exposed: When their automated script breaks, they promise you a "supervisor." But the supervisor doesn't actually investigate your channel. Instead, they drop the classic "we'll convert this to email" line and abruptly end the live chat to protect their response time metrics. And the promised email? It never arrives. It's been 131 days of fighting and your "specialized team" is literally just running away from the conversation. Fix your broken system. Look at the receipts. 👇 #demonitized #ypp #YouTubeCreators #UnitedForBanned

Hey @TeamYouTube You guys have kept my horror documentary channel demonetized for 34 days now. You guys rejected my appeal within hours for "not being representative of my channel", yet the appeal sits at ZERO views. You called my videos "reused content", even telling me that I should "use my own voice and add my own commentary", in order to monetize my videos. Even though that is EXACTLY what my videos HAVE. My OWN voice, scripts, storylines and editing. Not once has a human reviewed this channel, all I've got are the same bot responses from your creator support. Yet my videos were almost always additionally reviewed by humans in the past, so what's changed now? To tell me that this decision is final WITHOUT giving a detailed explanation as to WHY my channel was demonetized is extremely unfair. All I want is for a human to manually review my channel. It would clear EVERYTHING up, and allow me to resume making videos across ALL of my channels. I only make long form videos. @YouTube @YouTubeCreators @nealmohan #YouTube #YouTubeMonetization

The sheer irony. @TeamYouTube will strip a channel of its monetization for "policy violations," but their own support supervisors will enter a live chat just to immediately hang up on you to avoid answering a question. No answers. No accountability. Just a quick disconnect when their copy-paste scripts run out. Unbelievable.

🚨 I just got permanently banned from YouTube for “Circumvention Policy” 90,000 subscribers channel gone overnight. The crazy part? I have NEVER had any YouTube channel terminated before. Not one. There is literally nothing to “circumvent.” YouTube just sent me this final rejection (screenshot attached). They claim it “violates Community Guidelines” but still refuse to give any specific reason or evidence. This is clearly another AI mistake. Their system is mixing up accounts, flagging innocent creators with shared IPs, and destroying livelihoods with zero transparency. I’ve done everything: • Multiple appeals → denied with “careful review” • Creator Support → only copy-paste bot replies • Even reached out to @TeamYouTube All I’m asking for is a real HUMAN review. Not more automated nonsense. YouTube has admitted many times that their AI systems makes mistakes. When that happens, creators deserve a fair chance to fix it. Channel: youtube.com/channel/UClIR6BS… @TeamYouTube, please take a look.

Hi @TeamYouTube in a FEW DAYS, you will SNATCH nearly $2,000 of earnings. This is because you CLAIM I BREACHED the ‘spam, scam and deceptive practices’ policy. I DID NOT. All I did was go on HOLIDAY and upload from abroad. For the last 42 DAYS, I’ve received NO HUMAN SUPPORT at all. On top of this, JUST 3 DAYS before I was TERMINATED I was struck with REUSED content. I APPEALED, and you ACCEPTED the appeal saying and I quote ‘’Your appeal helped us better understand how you create your videos, your content strategy, and your channel's brand’’ Just 4 DAYS LATER, you TERMINATE me. This system is COMPLETELY and UTTERLY BROKEN. But NO-ONE at YouTube wants to do ANYTHING about it.
