The Byrds on time, for that matter:

Zoltan Grossman, CounterPunch:

Or Putin might have an even more diabolical plan in mind, one that has a precedent, which includes securing NATO approval for partition. That precedent is in the 1992-95 war in Bosnia, which pit Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) against both Serbs and Croats. Just as the break-up of the Soviet Union left many Russians outside Russia, the subsequent break-up of Yugoslavia left many Serbs outside Serbia, including in Croatia and Bosnia. The U.S. opposed ethnic cleansing by the Russian-aligned Orthodox Serbs, but facilitated ethnic cleansing by its Catholic Croat allies.

„Diabolical“? Putin is Hitler, a drug pusher, unhinged, the psychotic in the human family (Bono courtesy of Pelosi), diabolical. How can people read and accept such language?

I believe this is the one instance in the entire museum where I saw the word „Nazi“, and it is in the translation of a contemporary publication. The military of the USSR is always Soviets, never Russians, but Poland has been invaded and occupied by the Germans, not the Nazis.

Compare the narrative here with that at the Uprising Memorial across town.

„We also fought“ – a reference to the sculpture at the Uprising Memorial.

National WW II Museum New Orleans:

The role of women in the Polish resistance movement and the Warsaw Uprising was crucial. Women held a variety of important positions, ranging from traditional female roles—cleaning, making beds, cooking, and delivering food—to serving as couriers and liaison offices. Polish wives, mothers, and grandmothers provided a social infrastructure, worked as nurses, and comforted soldiers.

Women were also involved in heavy fighting—one in seven combatants were women. The women’s unit “Dysk,” for instance, was one of five elite “Kedyw” battalions led by Jan Mazurkiewicz. During the first week of the uprising, these well-equipped soldiers succeeded in taking a huge chunk of northern Wola (a district in the western part of Warsaw).

On August 2, 1944, “Dysk” attacked the Waffen SS supply depots at Stawki, where a year and a half earlier the Jewish population of the Warsaw ghetto had been held before being sent to Treblinka. They killed all the German guards and freed a number of Jewish forced laborers. These SS warehouses contained enormous qualities of food, which would help keep the people living in the Old Town sector of Warsaw alive in the weeks to come.

Special sapper units, made up entirely of young women called minerki, saw the most hand to hand combat fighting during August and September.

As a result of their combatant roles, several women attained high ranks within the AK, such as Mariai Tarnowska, who helped in negotiation talks with the Germans concerning the evacuation of civilians from the city center and the terms for capitulation. One of the most famous, Wanda Gertz, who fought in the Polish Legion attached to the Austro-Hungarian army during World War I, became an officer and commander of an all-female battalion, and was eventually promoted to the rank of Major in September 1944.

Boris Johnson has compared Vladimir Putin to a drug dealer who managed to hook western nations on Russian supplies of oil and gas, ahead of a trip to the Middle East in an attempt to diversify the sources of Britain’s energy imports.

The UK prime minister urged European countries to “get ourselves off that addiction” and said he wanted support from “the widest possible coalition” to help offset the pressures caused by spiralling oil and gas prices.

Independent:

Boris Johnson has compared Vladimir Putin to a drug dealer who has western nations hooked on his supply of oil and gas.

The prime minister added that Russia’s „brutal“ and „indiscriminate“ bombing of Ukraine is „quite unbelievable“ as he vowed the president will not succeed in his aim.

“Vladimir Putin over the last years has been like a pusher, feeding an addiction in western countries to his hydrocarbons,” Mr Johnson on Tuesday.

„We [must] wean ourselves off Russian hydrocarbons.“
