Ukrainian soldiers defend their territory; image created with AI
The war in Ukraine has been going on for more than two years now and there is no way out. Ukraine always claims that it is not in a position to make a peace negotiation and the USA is forced to send a huge quantity of weapons. Europe is consequently forced to follow the USA because it is in charge in NATO.And so the war continues…It seems that everyone wants peace but in the end everyone does everything possible to ensure that the war continues. It is not surprising if there are interests behind it such as those of making arms multinationals rich.In any case, the real problem is not the weapons but the soldiers. Ukraine has now lost thousands of soldiers and has difficulty enlisting anyone, so much so that the US is planning to send enlistment instructors to Ukraine because sending foreign troops would mean a declaration of war against Putin. And in fact Macron’s (president of France) idea of sending soldiers to Ukraine has raised controversy in Europe because it would be the fuse for the third world war.
I don’t know how much people talk about the war in Gaza in countries outside Italy, but all the barbarism they are doing (on both sides) only diverts attention from Russia. It is no coincidence that many geopoliticians have hypothesized that the Hamas attack occurred on October 7, 2023, Putin’s birthday.
I have always defended Israel but on this occasion the Jewish state is exceeding every limit. Even the USA has admitted that Netanyahu’s policy is not in line with the wishes of the White House. For decades now, Gaza has been kept as an open-air prison and no solution has been found. Witnessing Christmas with bombs and deaths right in the area where Jesus was born is an atrocity… I hope something is done.
a child who indicates to a dove that the lair of war is the cannon of a tank? Is it surreal? I don’t know but Pawel Kuczsynki’s drawings are always amazing. Shooting a dove is probably more difficult than shooting a child when one’s soul is invaded by the feeling of hatred because the dove can be a sign of destiny while a child can be “only” a human being of a nation with certain interests
Money always moves everything (or almost) and so the war which is subsidized by money but which also aims to have more money is the abacus of the economy, the elementary economic law of society. If the world lived in harmony there would be no need for wars. The drawing shows how the soldiers.
A realistic and non-utopian vision would be to think that it is not possible to avoid war but it is possible to make peace in all possible conditions and situations. The war in Ukraine is an example. Sooner or later it would probably have broken out because Russia is nostalgic for the territories of the old European Union, but the other countries… are rejecting any compromise and peace talks as if there were no price for peace but only time, weapons and deaths until until one of the two countries succumbs.
Remembrance Day is an Italian national civil solemnity, celebrated on February 10 each year, which commemorates the massacres of the sinkholes and the Julian Dalmatian exodus. Established with the law of 30 March 2004 n. 92, wants to “preserve and renew the memory of the tragedy of the Italians and of all the victims of the sinkholes, of the exodus from their lands of the Istrians, Fiume and Dalmatians after the Second World War and of the more complex story of the eastern border”
The Remembrance Day is associated with the release of a commemorative medal intended for relatives of suppressed and infoibate persons in Istria, in Fiume, in Dalmatia or in the provinces of the current eastern border between 8 September 1943, the date of the announcement of entry force of the armistice of Cassibile, and on February 10, 1947, the day of the signing of the peace treaties of Paris. Those who have been killed while voluntarily forming part of formations not in the service of Italy are excluded from recognition.
The chosen date is the day on which, in 1947, the Treaty of Paris was signed, which assigned Istria, Quarnaro, the city of Zara with its province and most of Venezia Giulia, previously part of Yugoslavia of Italy.
Some bills (all unsuccessful) were presented respectively in 1995, 1996 and 2000.
A new bill was presented to the Chamber of Deputies on 6 February 2003. It bore the signatures of a large group of deputies from various parliamentary groups (mainly from the National Alliance and Forza Italia, as well as from the UDC and Margherita). The first signatories were Roberto Menia and Ignazio La Russa, both in the past militants of the neo-fascist inspired party Movimento Sociale Italiano (MSI). On February 10, 2004, Senator of the Margherita Willer Bordon - former militant of the Italian Communist Party - presented a bill with very similar content. The first bill to be discussed was the one presented to the Chamber: Bordon's proposal was consequently absorbed into it during the parliamentary passage through the Senate. The parliamentary process of the measure ended on 16 March 2004. Regularly promulgated by the President of the Republic, the law of 30 March 2004, n. 92, was published in the "Official Gazette" n. 86 of 13 April 2004.

news of the war follows one another uninterruptedly, even those of atomic weapons… Every day quite unrealistic and contradictory data on the military situation is received, such as those, for example, that Ukraine is about to overturn the war by expelling Russian soldiers. The truth is that the war continues only because the United States is supplying the Ukrainians with a monstrous amount of arsenal never seen in the history of geopolitics … When the United States pulls the plug for Ukraine it will be the end … But not only This… The longer the war lasts, the more Russia will be forced to use a nuclear weapon to end the conflict: this was also reiterated by the Pentagon. Today came the news that Russia has finished testing an atomic torpedo that would be capable of unleashing a radioactive tsunami…
A torpedo which, according to Russian media, is capable of “triggering a 500-metre radioactive tsunami that could wipe out the UK”. The umpteenth showdown of Vladimir Putin in terms of latest generation weapons is called Poseidon which in the past few hours has completed the launch tests from the Russian nuclear submarine Belgorod, as explained by a source from the Ministry of Defense to Tass. “Launching tests of the Poseidon super-torpedo were carried out to evaluate the performance of the submarine at various depths,” the source specified.
For months, NATO has been monitoring the movements of the Belgorod submarine, given that it is the largest and most modern nuclear submarine in Moscow’s fleet. And it is the only one designed to use the Poseidon torpedo, presented by Putin in 2018 as one of the systems that will restore strategic supremacy to Russia. The bomb is capable of traveling under the waves for 10,000 kilometers with the aim of exploding near the coast, generating a nuclear tsunami powerful enough to wipe out cities like New York or Los Angeles.
The new year has arrived: 2023. Everywhere in the world we celebrate the new year but not on the same date and above all not in the same way. However the new year brings with it the hope of a better life… 2022 was a bitter year for Europe: war! In fact, the conflict in Ukraine has caused bills to rise, forcing many traders to close their businesses. The war in Ukraine obviously doesn’t affect all the countries of the world equally… the most distant countries see the conflict as something unknown… but everyone should hope that in the new year there will be peace.
International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons is an international event celebrated annually on September 26. Inaugurated in October 2014 with United Nations General Assembly Resolution 68/32, this is a day of events that are organized with the support of a variety of individuals and groups in Australia, Japan, the Caribbean, North America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the UN (United Nations Organization). During the first day, an instructive and explanatory video was distributed by Unfold Zero, the United Nations platform, asking the global population two questions: a) How many nuclear weapons do you think there are in the world ?; b) How many instead should there be? The United Nations General Assembly declared International Day in December 2013, in Resolution A / RES / 68/32, following the General Assembly’s high-level meeting on nuclear disarmament, held on 26 September 2013. NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 26 – This year United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres wanted to launch a message on the occasion of the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, at a time when the atomic threat seems to return to agitate the political scene international background to the war in Ukraine. “We reject the statement that defines nuclear disarmament as an impossible utopian dream – said Guterres forcefully – The elimination of these instruments of death is not only possible, but also absolutely necessary. In the current context, characterized by growing geopolitical division, mistrust and outright aggression, we risk forgetting the terrible lessons of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the Cold War, and provoking a humanitarian Armageddon “.
Come you masters of war You that build the big guns You that build the death planes You that build all the bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin’ But build to destroy You play with my world Like it’s your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers For the others to fire Then you sit back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion While the young people’s blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud
You’ve thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain’t worth the blood That runs in your veins
How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say that I’m young You might say I’m unlearned But there’s one thing I know Though I’m younger than you That even Jesus would never Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question Is your money that good? Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could? I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die And your death will come soon I’ll follow your casket By the pale afternoon And I’ll watch while you’re lowered Down to your deathbed And I’ll stand over your grave ‘Til I’m sure that you’re dead

Venite signori della guerra voi che costruite i cannoni voi che costruite gli aeroplani di morte voi che costruite le bombe voi che vi nascondete dietro muri voi che vi nascondete dietro scrivanie voglio solo che sappiate che posso vedere attraverso le vostre maschere
Voi che non avete mai fatto altro che costruire per distruggere giocate con il mio mondo come fosse il vostro giocattolo mettete un fucile nella mia mano e vi nascondete dal mio sguardo e vi voltate e scappate lontano quando volano i proiettili
Come Giuda dell’antichità voi mentite e ingannate Volete farmi credere che una guerra mondiale può essere vinta Ma io vedo attraverso i vostri occhi e vedo attraverso il vostro cervello così come vedo attraverso l’acqua che scorre nella mia fogna
Voi armate i grilletti perchè altri sparino poi vi sedete a guardare il conto dei morti farsi più alto Vi nascondete nei vostri palazzi mentre il sangue di giovani fluisce fuori dai loro corpi ed è sepolto nel fango
Voi avete sparso la paura peggiore che si possa avere la paura di mettere figli al mondo Per minacciare il mio bambino non nato e senza nome non valete il sangue che scorre nelle vostre vene
Cosa ne so io per parlare quando non è il mio turno? Potreste dire che sono giovane potreste dire che non sono istruito ma c’è una cosa che so sebbene sia più giovane di voi: nemmeno Gesù perdonerebbe mai quello che fate
Lasciate che vi faccia una domanda il vostro denaro è così potente che pensate potrà comprarvi il perdono? Io penso che scoprirete quando la Morte chiederà il suo pedaggio che tutto il denaro che avete fatto non riscatterà la vostra anima
E spero che moriate e che la vostra morte arrivi presto Seguirò la vostra bara nel pomeriggio opaco Veglierò mentre siete sepolti nel vostro letto di morte e resterò sulla vostra tomba finchè sarò sicuro che siete morti
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been informed that the day of the Russian attack will be Wednesday 16 February.
CNN reports it in a breaking news.
Zelensky declared Wednesday, February 16, the potential date of the Russian attack according to the US alert, “day of unity”.
There has been a “dramatic acceleration” in the deployment of Russian forces on the Ukrainian border. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said this, calling on “all Americans still in Ukraine to leave the country immediately”.
Some Russian troops near the Ukrainian border have started moving into “attack positions”. CBS reports this, quoting an American official, according to whom Moscow has moved part of the long-range artillery into firing position.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US President Joe Biden agreed that “an opportunity remains” to resolve the crisis in Ukraine “with diplomacy”. Downing Street made it known after the phone call between the two leaders.
“We do not believe that Vladimir Putin has already made a final decision” on the possible attack against Ukraine: Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said, reiterating that military action is possible “at any time”. Kirby, however, did not want to enter into the merits of intelligence information that the scheduled day for the attack would be Wednesday.
Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin will be visiting Brussels, Poland and Lithuania from Tuesday: US Defense spokesman John Kirby announced this.
“There is a chance of finding an agreement with the West,” Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov told President Putin. While Defense Minister Shoigu announced that ‘part of the exercises’ of the armed forces in Moscow ‘is ending, another will be completed in the near future’. During the same meeting, the Russian president, quoted by TASS, said that the expansion of NATO eastwards ‘is infinite, very dangerous and takes place at the expense of the former Soviet republics, including Ukraine’.
But the Pentagon reveals: ‘Russia strengthened its military device on the border with Ukraine over the weekend’
