Russian Volunteers Shocked That Ukrainians Don't Want Them There

A viral video this week of a Russian couple who are volunteers in occupied Ukraine. They were shocked at their treatment by native Ukrainians who don’t regard them as liberators. Far from it. Most times, with their Russian license plate, they’re refused service at gas stations. And besides all the rude comments, they fear for their safety, and they even try not to spend nights there for fear of not waking up.

And if the video strikes you as some bizarre exercise in cognitive dissonance where they regard the native Ukrainians as “traitors”, I’ll remind you again that this is how ordinary Russians are taught. It makes no sense at all to the rest of us, but to them it does.

“We didn’t know just how severe Omicron would be” says PM – » The Australian Independent Media Network

After being told he was wrong months ago and after witnessing what was happening elsewhere in the UK, EU and USA  Morrison says he was “blindsided”… Not his fault

It’s alarming enough that the Prime Minister believes “admitting” wilful ignorance is a reasonable political strategy. What he’s actually admitting is that he lives in a bubble of protection from global events, medical and scientific research, and any information that does not coincide with the stories he tells himself which must be right, according to his reasoning, because God chose him to tell them.
