Not many American companies are as customer-driven as Ford, General Motors, and Tesla.

What's it's like to be rescued by Putin.
Horrifying reports from #Mariupol; thirsty people draining water from radiators; streams contaminated by rotting bodies; dogs feeding on corpses; people eating dogs & scavenging for food in bombed buildings. Apocalyptic nightmare in a place where, 1 month ago, life was normal.

Some of the biolabs in the Ukraine are experimenting with Dihydrogen monoxide which kills thousands of people a year when inhaled.

When Putin speaks of "denazification", he doesn't mean ridding Ukraine of the scourge of antisemitism. He means the Western influences that collide with his own nationalist imperialist agenda. 1/6
As #fifdom's token Romanian lady, I have some thoughts about Putin's claim that his invasion of Ukraine a noble de-Nazification attempt. He's not wrong. You see, "Nazi" has a very different meaning and emotional valence in Eastern Europe than it does in the US.

Putin's ideology is a revival of that paranoia. His special military operation to "denazify" Ukraine wasn't some heroic Simon Wiesenthal-like mission to hunt down perpetrators of antisemitic atrocities. It was to rid Ukraine of the threat to a grand Russian hegemony. 5/6

As an aside, the term "nazi" held no special meaning to my grandfather. He jokingly called me a nazi every time I refused to share a candy bar with him or listen to him. Until Alzheimer's cruelly robbed my family of him 12 years ago, he had a great sense of humor. 6/6
