What an asshole! NATO was built for one purpose only—to defend free Europe against Russian invasion. And to downplay the sacrifices made by Europeans for American war elsewhere is hitting new moral lows, though for Trumpist officials the moral abyss is bottomless.

Četl jsem prohlášení mnohých našich politiků. A ani jeden neřekl, že začne konat, že navrhne vyhlášku či zákon,který zakáže veřejné vystupování 🇷🇺 občanů,že zakáže reklamu na 🇷🇺 válku na území ČR atd!Každý zase jen píše o nesouhlasu s účastí Rusů!Přestaňte být pokrytci a konejte!

Ovechkin may be retiring to Mordor after this season, but Canada should sanction him now and send a clear message: celebrity endorsement of Putin’s regime and Russia’s criminal war must have real consequences. @hasek_dominik @Capitals @AnitaAnandMP theglobeandmail.com/gift/a2e…

Shameful! It is no longer possible to turn a blind eye on this @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD Time to gain control of Aughinish Alumina and stop supplying the russian war machine!
The skins of missiles striking civilians in Kyiv this autumn and winter may be part Irish. One refinery has never been subjected to the EU’s sanctions on Russia economist.com/europe/2026/09…

An article by @kolga and me was published in *The Globe&Mail*, and tomorrow you can read it in print across 🇨🇦.We explain Ovechkin's support for Russia's imperialist war in🇺🇦,and since neither the @NHL nor the US has yet responded, we ask whether Canadian MPs will finally respond
Opinion: Alexander Ovechkin used his fame to back Putin. We must remember that theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Imagine if a star athlete were Palestinian and he expressed support for Hamas. He would get deported instantly by the Trump administration. Yet Ovechkin can express his support for Putin--who is waging a genocidal war against Ukraine--without fear of any consequences.

Dear @NHL and Washington @Capitals your star player, Alexander Ovechkin, is on the record supporting the murderous butcher Vladimir Putin, who has American blood on his hands.
What will you do about it?

Russia is waging a genocidal war on Ukraine. Aleksandr Ovechkin said: "I am Russian. I support my country."
The Washington Capitals and the NHL cannot walk away from this. They are supporting war crimes and crimes against humanity by allowing Ovechkin to play hockey.

In a statement, the Washington Capitals expressed support for their employee Ovechkin—a long time supporter of Putin-the current world's greatest criminal-and supporter of other murderers who unleashed Russia's imperialist war in Ukraine. This statement ignores (continue)

Ovechekin cant have it both ways. He cant say that "Well, I'm not in politics. I can’t say who's right and who's wrong,” and then appear in political ad for Putin.

The great uilleann piper Paddy Keenan has passed away. His music carried the wild heartbeat of tradition and will echo for generations. May he rest in peace.

ITMA is deeply saddened by the death of the iconic uilleann piper Paddy Keenan. Born into a travelling family, Paddy was a founding member of the legendary group The Bothy Band and his virtuosity on the pipes made him one of the most celebrated traditional musicians of all time.
