As a part of this socially-asocial #Fediverse network I would like to talk to you on the other side of the ocean.
I rarely write posts in #English and I only have very few followers that are not #Czech or #Slovakian, so I'm not sure if this ever reaches my target audience of this post - the #USA citizens.
I am seriously concerned about what is happening lately with your country, who was supposed to be (or was acting like) a #democracy beacon. Yet, somehow you managed to reach the point, where #president, who most of you (!) elected is felon, who pardons criminals and does pretty rude political statements to country, who is losing lives of it's citizens only because they have chosen the path of being a #free nation.
As a person from central #EU I must admit this is seriously hard to watch as I expected your society to be #freedom and #liberty friendly and yet I see your president fueling #propaganda from #Russia and bullying president of #Ukraine.
I do not think this is a great way to #StopWar - this is a way to lose it. I'm hell-of-a-sure that befriending pretty much dictator of #Russia while his propagandists talks about nuking Washington is not a good idea, but somehow your president believes it is.
Please reconsider and act, this is not funny and people are dying. Your voices need to be heard or somehow you might find out you live in country you never imagined...

Výročí napadení Ukrajiny
Přemýšlím, jakými slovy bych započal moje zamyšlení nad tím, proč se rok díváme na to, že nám vraždí východní sousedy, ale slova nenacházím.
I dnes, po všech těch dnech od začátku invaze, kdy jsme sledovali webky z Kyjeva, Charkova a dalších Ukrajinských měst mě stále mrazí, že jsme se dožili toho, co jsem ve svým životě už nečekal. Stále je mi z toho stejně zle, stále čekám, že se z toho snu vzbudím. Stále doufám, že tenhle dědeček s babičkou svým vínovým vozem za svými vnoučaty dojeli. Nedojeli...
Poslední rok je podle mě rokem, kdy se začaly ukazovat charaktery jak lidí, tak národů. Opět jsme "šili roušky" tím, že jsme ve velkém sbírali jídlo, ošacení, posílali peníze, ubytovávali. My jsme dokonce bez větších problémů zvládli největší migrační vlnu, jakou Česko pamatuje a to bez ztráty kytičky! Jestli byl někdy důvod bejt na národ hrdej, je to přesně z tohoto důvodu.
Strašili nás vším, čím se dalo. Dojde plyn, přijde státní převrat, přijdou nemoci (protože Ukrajinci nejsou tolik proočkovaní), sankce nás zničí, dojde ropa, půjdeme do zákopů, budou padat atomovky. Nic z toho se nestalo a my s rovnou páteří pomáháme napadenému sousedovi.
A co je nejlepší? Neděláme to jen jako stát, ale i jako lidi - jednotlivci. Poslali jsme zdravotnický materiál, tank jménem Tomáš, PVO Viktor, sanitky, teď se chystá MLRS Přemysl atd. Všechno z peněz občanů a firem na plně dobrovolné bázi. To je přeci kurva velký! Přesto všechno však neoslavujem. Část společnosti proto, že se jí podpora Ukrajiny prostě nelíbí, druhá část je zase zklamaná tím, že nepomáháme dost.
Přihodím názor, který je můj, je osobní, lidský a plně ignoruje geopolitiku. Chci abychom jim poslali vše o co si řeknou. Klidně i lidi (na plně dobrovolné bázi). Už nikdy nechci vidět dítě v sutinách jen proto, že si Vladolf z Kremlu řekl, že je to zrovna dobrej nápad.
Nechci se dívat na to, jak sousedé umírají. Zastavte to prosím. #ZastavteVálku
#politika #ukrajina
I have hard times to figure out how to start my consideration about why do we look at our eastern neighbors while they are being slaughtered, but i can't find proper words.
Even today, after all these days since invasion started, when we were watching Kyiv, Kharkiv and other cities webcams i still have goosebumps, that we are actually experiencing something i would have never expected in my life. I'm still totally sick from it. I still hope for waking up from this nightmare. I still hope that this elderly couple will arrive to their grandchildren with their red car. They wont...
Last year shown up a lot about our characters - personal or national. We were "sewing facemasks" again (at beginning of covid pandemy in #Czechia we were sewing facemasks to help people protect themselves - it was quite bonding moment when women at home with kids were sewing masks for hospitals) - collecting food, clothing, money or living places for refugees. We also made it through biggest refugee wave ever in Czech republic without any bigger issue! If there ever was a reason to be proud Czechian, it's this one.
People were spreading fear with anything though. They said we will run out of gas, goverment overthrow, diseases (Ukrainians have different vaccinations), sanctions destroying us, crude oil will run out, we will meet in trenches and nuclear bombs will fall on our head. None of this happened and we still help our neighbor while having our head straight.
But what i do see as best is, that we do not help only as nation - we also do help a lot as individuals. We have sent medical stuff, Thomas the tank, Victor AA vehicles, ambulances and we are about to send MLRS Přemysl. Everything from companies and citizens money - voluntarily. That's fucking big! We still do not celebrate any of this though. Part of us because they do not like us supporting Ukraine. Other part is let down, because it's not enough.
I will put my opinion on the table. It's my, it's personal, it's humane and it's totally ignoring geopilitical situation. I want us to supply everything they want. People involved (only volunteers). I don't want to see dead child in rubble only because of some Vladolf from Kremlin though, that it's a good idea.
I don't want to see my neighbors die anymore. Stop it please. #StopWar

Stanovisko k Ukrajině
Moje stanovisko k Ukrajině
TLDR: Mám zájem, podporuji kroky vlády, pomožte těm lidem a pokud pomáhat nechcete, aspoň buďte zticha.
Může se vám nelíbit, můžete s nim nesouhlasit, ale to je tak všechno, co s tim můžete dělat 😀
Podporuju naší vládu ve všech krocích, které dělá
Ano, opravdu. Vláda dělá spoustu kroků a další velkou spoustu kroků (zastropování benzínu) naopak nikoliv. Jestli mě to bolí? Rozhodně ano. Peněženka pláče, ale to už tak prostě bývá, když je #válka. Asi je třeba si připomínat, že za tohle zdražení politici nemůžou, stejně tak jako nemůžou kompenzovat vše, peníze totiž nerostou na stromě.
Chápu, že to je pro spoustu lidí nepříjemný a že životní úroveň půjde dolů, ale jsou hodnoty, které jsou víc, než peníze. Je třeba si to připomínat.
Ukrajinci jsou hrdinové
Je mi úplně jedno co bylo před. Nedělám si iluze, že by byli svatí, že mezi sebou nemají zločince a že i nějaký nácek se semtam objeví. Koneckonců jako všude. Nic to však nemění na tom, že napadení suverénního státu je prasárna, na kterou za mě máme jako NATO už dávno reagovat a nechápu, proč jsme to ještě neudělali. Ano, vím, Putin vyhrožuje červeným atomovým tlačítkem. Příště může tím červeným tlačítkem vyhrožovat u války s Polskem nebo Slovenskem, necháme to taky plavat, aby to náhodou nezmáčkl? Protože pokud ano, je celá NATO úplně k ničemu...
Statečnost Ukrajinců vyrazila dech celému světu a postavit se takové velmoci rozhodně chce kuráž a nikdo na světě nečekal, že obrana bude takhle tvrdá a že si Rusák vyláme zuby. Škoda jen, že celej zbytek světa jenom čumí...
Rusové jsou taky hrdinové
Ano, Rusáci cvičili na svém území tak dlouho, až najednou cvičili na území Ukrajiny. Jsou to prasata.
Zároveň si ale myslím, že spousta Ruských vojáků s invazí nesouhlasí, proto se často objevily úplně absurdní způsoby pádu do zajetí typu "pane policisto, kde si tady můžu natankovat tank". Nemyslím si, že mají vojáci jinou variantu, jak zabránit tomu, aby museli bojovat proti svému přesvědčení a jednodušší je nechat se zajmout.
Co je ale nejvíc fascinující je to, že i přes šílenou propagandu, zcenzurování všeho a tvrdé represe se objeví Rusové, kteří jdou protestovat. Vběhonou do televize s transparentem "ne válce" anebo se nechají zatknout kvůli tomu, že stojí na náměstí s prázdným papírem. V takto diktátorském režimu je to více než odvážné.
Češi a Evropa jsou taky hrdinové
Zatímco ukrajinští muži se snaží ubránit vlast, my se snažíme ochránit to nejdražší, co mají. Životy jejich dětí.
Solidarita, jak v rámci války, tak v rámci uprchlické vlny je obrovská a já za to děkuju všem, co se jakkoliv podílejí. Je fajn být na svůj národ zase jednou hrdý, jen se bojím, abychom nebyli jen ve fázi "šití roušek", protože..
..je mi z toho všeho zle!
Je mi zle z toho, co se na Ukrajině děje. Jako většině lidí. A je to tak v pořádku, protože tohle se prostě ve třetím tisíciletí dít nemá.
Je mi zle i z toho, jakým způsobem podivný lidičkové dělají všechno proto, aby ta soudržnost co nejdřív skončila.
Ale nejvíc je mi zle z toho, že řešíme o 5 Kč dražší benzín ve chvíli, kdy pár kilometrů od naší unie umírají lidi. My tady máme mnohem větší problém, než peníze a nebude to pro nás lehký, ale proboha, vezměte tu národní hrdost a použijte ji. Nás nezlomí. Jsme silní
Apel nakonec
Čeká nás bída. To nic nemění na tom, že kdo můžete, pomáhejte. Posílejte peníze, přivezte hračky, oblečení, cokoliv. Když hodně lidí udělá málo, vznikne velká věc. Nemusí vás to stát pohodlí proto, aby to bylo užitečné...
.. anebo aspoň nechte v klidu pomáhat druhé.....
#politika #ukrajina
My feelings about Ukraine
TLDR: I do care, i support government moves, help these people and if you don't feel like, at least shut up.
You may not like it, you may disagree, but that is all you can do about it 😀
I support our government in every step they take
Yes, i mean it. Our government does lot of things and they also does not do lot of things (limiting price of gasoline for example). Does it hurt? Yes, i definitely feel the pain in my wallet. But that happens, when there is a ongoing #war. There is no need to remind, that this time it's not our politicians bad move and they can't compensate everything. Money does not grow on trees.
I understand, that things will be bad for lot of our people and their living standard will go down, but you cannot give up your values for money.
Ukrainians are heroes
I don't care what was before. I do not consider them saint. That they do not have criminals between them and even nazi can come out time after time. Just like in every other country. But invading country is such a bullshit, that i do not understand, why NATO did not reacted so far. Yes, i know, Putin is threating us with red nuclear button. Next time, he may threat us while invading Poland or Slovakia. Will we let it go again, just to be sure he did not press it? Because if we will, then NATO is totally worthless...
Heroism of Ukrainians took breath away from lot of us. Standing against world's superpower country needed a lot of courage and nobody in the world expected, that Russians will break their teeth so much on them. It's such a shame, that rest of the world is just watching...
Also Russians are heroes
Yes, Russian army was doing excersises on their land so long, that they suddenly appeared on Ukranian land. What a bunch of pigs.
I still think though, that lot of Russian soldiers do not agree with invading. That's why i think there were absurd ways to get captured ("hey, officer, where can i get fuel for my tank here?"). I do not think there is another way for Russian soldiers to refuse fighting against their opinions. Only way to go is to get captured.
What is most fascinating though is, that even through all the propaganda, censorship and repressions there are Russians, who goes protesting. Going to TV with "no to war" transparent, getting arrested with blank piece of paper. This is more than courageous in dictator regime like this.
Czechs and Europeans also are heroes
While Ukranian men are defending their homeland, we are trying to save their most important beings. Lives of their children.
All the support defending and with refugees is huge and i am thankfull to all, who are helping anyhow. It is great to be proud of your nation time after time, i am just scared, that we are in "sewing own headmask phase", because..
..i am sick of all of this!
I am sick of everything, that's happening on Ukraine. Like most of people. And it is allright, because there is no room for this in 3rd milenium.
I am also sick of wierd people doing everything to stop the solidarity as soon as possible.
But most of all i am sick of us crying about 5 CZK more expensive gasoline while few kilometers of our border people are dying. There is much bigger problem to solve and it will not be easy for us, but please, take all the national pride you have and use it. They can't break us, we are strong.
Ending appeal
Times will be tough, but lot of us can still help. Whoever can, do it. Send money, get toys and apparel for kids, whatever. When lot of people do small things, they will make one big success for all. You does not have to lose your comfort to be helpful...
..or at least, let others help them peacefully.....

still wrong
politicians' blabbing and posturing does not constitute a threat
the word "threat" in a headline does not constitute an actual threat.
When the United States wants to threaten another nation, it stations one of its aircraft carriers and associated battle group off of their coast, and conducts military exercises designed to probe their defensive posture. Or some such similar deployment of actual military forces.
IceCubeSoup

IceCubeSoup
in reply to Schmaker • • •@slamy
nobody important was laughing. All insiders knew the threat was real, which is why they spent a more than a decade deliberately provoking Putin. Putin finally found himself in a circumstance where he was forced to cooperate in the charade.
Ukraine is the victim in a three way tug-of-war between the U.S., EU/NATO, and Russia. They were always, always, always destined to be used up and discarded, after being rubble-ized.
IceCubeSoup
in reply to IceCubeSoup • • •@slamy
Russian forces have always been near Ukraine. That's what having a border means. Which means Russia was always an actual threat to Ukraine.
