NEW: I wrote about going to interview the man who hid/saved my grandfather from the nazis, a decade of war reporting, why some people risk their lives to save strangers while others kill their neighbors, and being the grandchild of 4 Holocaust survivors:

The Dutch court at the #MH17 trial is detailing why they believe the conflict in Ukraine was an international conflict because of Russia's involvement, which is a good reminder that Russia's invasion of Ukraine really started 8 years ago, not 8 months.
Not gonna lie, feels good to see the guy behind my kidnapping finally found guilty after all these years. My heart goes out to the families of all the innocent people who died onboard #MH17. May he and the rest be swiftly brought to justice.
BREAKING: A senior U.S. intelligence official says Russian missiles crossed into NATO member Poland, killing two people.
A Polish government spokesman did not immediately confirm the information, but said leaders were meeting on "crisis situation." https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-zelenskyy-kherson-9202c032cf3a5c22761ee71b52ff9d52?taid=6373e1a578439d000178fba6&utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter…
A radio station in Poland is reporting that two Russian stray rockets landed on the Polish side of the border killing two people. If confirmed it represents the first strike against NATO territory in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Around lunchtime on March 3, Ukrainian veteran Maksym Stakhov spotted the troops at the edge of Bucha. He jumped in his car, raced around town and hollered: “Hide! Run away! The Russians are coming!” http://apne.ws/P0S8l0T

Um, so what was the 2020 war between Azerbaijan and Armenia? What about Syria? What do you think that buzzing sound over Gaza has been all these years? Hell, America’s been using drones since before the Obama administration.
If I were a shareholder in News Corp I would not be happy about the prospect of a merger with Fox which is being sued by the Dominion and Smartmatic voting machine companies. Especially after the billion dollar Alex Jones judgement.
Looks like they’re having a normal one in Moscow: “call it holy war… Old world, be afraid! Robbed of its true beauty, true faith, true wisdom, it’s controlled by madmen, perverts, satanists. Be afraid! We are coming!”
Moscow would never accept a referendum about leaving Russia in one of its non ethnic-Russian regions, so why is it imposing them at gunpoint on Ukraine? Shared my thoughts on this with
Reuters deleted this tweet & apparently the story that cited results from polling station set up in Russia. Good. But standard practice is to issue a correction when a story doesn’t meet editorial standards. Sadly I don’t see that. The update is better tho
For our next number, we’re going to set up a referendum in North Korea on whether South Korea should be annexed and then gush about the overwhelming results in favor.
So Russia has set up polling stations within Russia itself for a vote on whether parts of a neighboring country should be joined to Russia and the result of that sham process is what passes as newsworthy at
Aiden Aslin, a Brit I met back in 2019 who was sentenced to death by the DNR Russian proxy state in eastern Ukraine, was released with several other British men who were serving in the Ukrainian armed forces and has returned home.

“Everyone who dies, your bodies are delivered to wherever you indicate in your will… everyone gets buried in the Heroes’ Promenade in the cities that have them.”
“Putin’s Chef” Prigozhin recruiting mercenaries for the war in Ukraine in a prison. “In 1/2 a year you go home with a pardon… there’s no way you end up back in prison. Those who arrive on the first day and don’t like where they’ve ended up are considered deserters and get shot.”
