Of Course, It Is Too Late ...

 ... but better late than never. Plus, I have news for this moron--even with the US, if God forbid it comes to this--NATO will not be able to "defend" against Russia, because Russians will not be moving ground forces first. They will simply decapitate NATO's military-political top.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte warned European leaders that they need the U.S. in order to defend themselves, comments that come as tensions between the U.S. and Europe have escalated amid President Donald Trump’s push to acquire Greenland. "If anyone thinks here again that the European Union, or Europe as a whole, can defend itself without the U.S., keep on dreaming. You can’t. We can’t. We need each other," Rutte said Monday in Brussels to the European Parliament. 

But the next critical question is--WHY the hell do Russians need Europeans, a bunch of freeloaders who hate Russian guts? Nope, Soviet Union made a mistake thinking that you can teach Europe humanity and decency. Never again. Especially today, when Russia marks the lifting of the Siege of Leningrad. Germans, Finns, Spaniards, others from present day EU and NATO took part in one of the grimmest crimes against humanity. More than 1 million civilians died in Leningrad. This was genocide. Russians never forget this. Today, this history strikes especially hard. 

But then again, combined West wants this for Russians, especially Europe. They failed then, they also failed now. For the US these numbers are beyond comprehension. 

Leningrad Siege Lifting Anniversary.

Together with liberation of Auschwitz. And a very few honest voices, but they still speak.

Affront to history is what modern West has become. 

Russia’s exclusion from the commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation is not just a diplomatic snub – it is an insult to history and to the memory of millions who suffered and died during World War II. This decision, part of a growing trend of historical revisionism, diminishes the decisive role played by the Soviet Union in defeating Nazi Germany and liberating concentration camps, including Auschwitz. It’s a troubling development that undermines the lessons of the past in favor of political expediency.  On January 27, 1945, the Soviet Red Army liberated Auschwitz, revealing to the world the unimaginable horrors of the Holocaust. This event became a symbol of the triumph of humanity over the worst atrocities of the Nazi regime. Yet, in 2025, Russian representatives were excluded from the anniversary ceremony at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Poland. Piotr Cywinski, the museum’s director, justified the decision by citing Russia’s actions in the Ukraine conflict, stating that a country “that does not understand the value of liberty has something to do at a ceremony dedicated to the liberation.”

I remain on record--Red Army soldiers' graves and monuments in Europe should all be repatriated to Russia (however massive such an undertaking could be) and let Europe be. Next time they start (and they will) building concentration camps and dehumanizing each-other, Russia should simply stay away, behind the wall of overwhelming nuclear and conventional power.
