Slavery = involuntary servitude + power - human sacrifices
They're almost always small explosions from hand grenades. A long time ago large quantities of these have been smuggled to Sweden from the former Yugoslavia after the wars and now the drug gangs employ grenadiers in their turf wars. Not quite like the IRA car bombs if you imagine that.
But who knows, maybe if u/AntonioOfVenice have been barred entry to his so hated Europe and forced to stay in Lebanon he would today lead his Ants militia, Iike the Tigers militia (that got massacred by their rival Christians during the civil war, not the last such event) but with even more combat fedoras. Because it feels like they're the only ethno-religious group there without their own standing militias today, while the country is on a brink once again.
But anyway, it's because the Baltic nations just have enough of ethnic Russians as it is (1/4 of the entire population since the Soviet deportation and colonization campaigns, majority in some places), and many of them are highly troublesome.

It was in the 1890s, but anyway.
And in relevant news today (also not "implying" but stating):
War crimes have been committed in Ukraine conflict, top UN human rights inquiry reveals (https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/09/1127691)
Brutal executions
Other key findings from the report include the surprisingly “large number of executions” in 16 towns and settlements, where “common elements” of the crimes included “visible signs of executions on bodies, such as hands tied behind backs, gunshot wounds to the head, and slit throats”.
“We were struck by a large number of executions and other violations by Russian forces, and the Commission received consistent accounts of torture and ill-treatment.”
Sexual violence, including against children
Horrific allegations of sexual violence against Ukrainian communities - including children - were also found to be based in fact.
The lowest age in the confirmed rapes was a 4 year old.
The highest was 82.
There are examples of cases where relatives were forced to witness the crimes.

It may sound like phrases taken out of context, but they're actually quite in the context (drunken literal bloodthirsty barbarism).
Azov isn't an acronym (it's a sea), and he's not "implying" but explicitly stating (and quoting).
It's about a high school in Verbivka. Full quote:
“They would take people off the streets,” says Volodymyr Vynnyk, an elderly local resident.
“You sneeze the wrong way, or you say something wrong — you get a sack on your head, and they take you to a house they use as a jail. You know what they did to people in those jails.”
“I personally saw Russians take two men with sacks on their heads into the school. We have no idea who those men were and if they ever left the building alive,” he said.

It's an Ukrainian "propaganda outlet".
Are you upset about someone having his country's flag?
Jordan Peterson isn't any sort of military expert, or even an amateur (I'm an amateur, having been studying wars and the militaria since for over 3 decades literally ever since I learnt to read and I did so very early, also being an almost trained actual historian before dropping out after giving up on Latin).
It turns out Japan is just the West driving the speed limit.

"Political interests" is a traditionally bad framing for a war in Russia, as opposed to WWII perceived as a "sacred war" (as in that song) for the very survival against a vicious invader (not wrong, considering the Generalplan Ost). For example it is said in the narration the intro to the depressing documentary Damned and Forgotten (Прокляты и забыты) about Russian soldiers in Chechnya and elsewhere in the 1990s, where scenes from WWII in the East are contrasted with slowly emerging scenes from Grozny turning black and white into color: https://youtube.com/watch?v=_m07z9_k4hA
E: it's not said actually in the into (where it's only mentioned for how there came "an era of other wars") but in the mass grave scene later on. Oh, and there are also the NazBols.
Kween slayv:
In times of war, during the transatlantic slave trade and in the fight against French colonialism, Dahomey female warriors “were the last line of defense between the enemy and the King,” writes Serbin, “and were prepared to sacrifice their lives to protect him.”
(...)
As numerous Africianist historians have attested, this system also shows up in the true history of pre-colonial African reality. For example, John Henrik Clarke explained in his essay on African Warrior Queens in Black Women of Antiquity, in the years before colonialism, “Africans had produced a way of life where men were secure enough to let women advance as far as their talents would take them.”
(...)
From slavery to the present, black women have had to contend with four major stereotypes, which Collins identified in her classic book Black Feminist Thought. (...) Notably absent among those stereotypes is the idea of the righteous warrior.
(...)
The importance of this achievement cannot be overstated. For black women and girls the world over, Wakanda represents a fictional world in which their natural beauty and intelligence are accepted norms of a society that values and affirms both their femininity and humanity. How much more significant, then, to know that this vision is based on reality.
Other kind of women in the neighbouring Chechnya:
Kadyrov also said that the male relatives of around 40 women who attempted to hold an anti-war demonstration in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, on 21 September, have already been mobilised and sent to Ukraine. He threatened that every person who joins demonstrations, or, in the case of women, their husbands and sons, will be sent "to the frontline".
It was actually the first public protest there since the 2000s.
They conscript arrested male protesters all over Russia but not their men like that.
All of Russia celebrates the glorious liberation of Medvedchuk, probably.
“I’m extremely unhappy about yesterday’s news. The whole situation doesn’t even make sense to me. Whenever combat or tactical decisions have been made, they’ve always consulted with us, the active participants in the special [military] operation. But now…” Kadyrov wrote. “Handing over even one of those Azov terrorists should have been out of the question,” he wrote.
It's little known in the West (and even in Russia, where it's not spoken about publicly), but the sacred cause of installing Medvedchuk as the president of Ukraine was the entire real reason why Putin has sent many thousands of his people to their deaths and may well start a nuclear war over it because why not.
From early February (3 weeks before the invasion):
Great wars sometimes start over small offenses. A murdered duke. An angered pope. The belief of a lonely king that his rivals aren’t playing fair. When historians study why armies began gathering in Europe during the plague of 2021, their interest might turn to a teenage girl, the goddaughter of Moscow’s isolated sovereign.
Her name is Daria, a young Ukrainian with a shy smile and big brown eyes. When she was born in 2004, her parents asked their friend Vladimir Putin, then a few years into his reign in Russia, to christen her in the Orthodox tradition they all share. The girl’s father, Viktor Medvedchuk, has been close to Putin for decades. They holiday together on the Black Sea. They conduct business. They obsess over the bonds between their countries and the Western forces they see pulling them apart.
“Our relationship has developed over 20 years,” Medvedchuk told me in a rare interview last spring in Kyiv, near the start of the current standoff between Russia and the West over Ukraine. “I don’t want to say I exploit that relationship, but you could say it has been part of my political arsenal.”
Putin could say the same about Medvedchuk. The leading voice for Russian interests in Ukraine, Medvedchuk’s political party is the biggest opposition force in parliament, with millions of supporters. Over the past year, that party has come under attack. Medvedchuk was charged with treason in May and placed under house arrest in Kyiv. Just last month, the U.S. accused him and his allies of plotting to stage a coup with help from the Russian military.

Wednesday's record prisoner swap between Moscow and Kyiv nearly seven months into the war saw the release of fighters from Ukraine’s Azov Battalion who led the defense of Mariupol in the first months of the war that later became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance.
Moscow’s decision to release Azov soldiers, including the battalion’s commander and his deputy, was seen as a betrayal by pro-war and far-right voices.
“The release of five British mercenaries and the exchange of all the remaining members of the Azov Battalion, made yesterday by agreement with [Saudi Arabia] and respected Kyiv allies, is worse than a crime... and worse than a mistake. This is RANK STUPIDITY,” wrote Igor Girkin, a former Russian intelligence officer who led pro-Russian separatist forces in eastern Ukraine in 2014, in a Telegram post.
Russia previously considered banning the exchange of the Azov fighters, with State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin in June calling the battalion’s members "Nazi criminals" who must be brought to justice.
Wednesday’s swap, as a result, marked an unexpected U-turn.
“What did they say two months ago? ‘We will definitely not give them away!’” said a Telegram post by Grey Zone, a Wagner-linked Telegram channel.
“This is just like before, when they said Kharkiv was Russia forever,” it said, referring to Russia’s retreat from Ukraine’s Kharkiv region this month.
Officials in Kyiv lauded the prisoner swap, which came just hours after Putin ordered a “partial mobilization” of Russia’s reservists.
"It is not a pity to give up Medvedchuk in exchange for real warriors," Zelensky said in a video address.

The Man in the High Castle was incredible
Watched like 2 or 3 first eps, a very poor "adaptation" of a really good book.
I do t know why they so need to rewrite things. Make your own shit, change title, say it was just inspired by this or that (like Soldier from Tomorrow -> Soldier -> The Terminator, or Who Goes There? (aka Frozen Hell) -> The Thing from Another World -> The Thing).
Not only there were no mass graves, there were no graves at all.

See, you've tried but wouldn't hide where you are from. The "I'm not an Arab, I'm ARABIZED" was a telltale sign, adding to the rest of the clues.
But seriously, so what's up with the old country and what are you going to do about it, personally? I'm kinda sympathetic to the Lebanese Christians, no matter how much overconfident assholes they used to be. Also it was an incredible moment when the straight up Neo-Nazi gangs from Europe worked hand in hand with Israeli intelligence agents early on.
