The great story of Evgeny Stepanovich Kobytev.

This photo is of the same man 4 years apart after his WW2 experience. He fought for the Soviet Union after the Germans invaded just after he graduated from Kyiv university and was captured, spending 2 years in the “Khorol pit” prisoner camp before escaping and going straight back to the front line and fighting all the way to Germany.

His bravery is undeniable and many young men, even today with our concept of younger generations being soft would still easily be propagandised to fight and die for queen and country against people that without massive states playing power politics would never have a problem with each other.

This brings us to the Ukraine today. After years of western involvement in Eastern Europe ringing Russia with allies armed with “defensive” anti ballistic missile installations that can be used for incoming missile defence or instantly be loaded with nuclear tipped tomahawk cruise missiles, the MK41 missile launcher.

Now with a limited response from the Russian federation, western media war hawks are trying to put into our minds that Putin is somehow the aggressor and are banging the war drum yet again.

To us, Putin is a tyrant, he suppresses opposition in horrendous fashion and if we lived under his rule we would be fighting peacefully against his regime.

But we don’t live under his regime, we live under ours and it’s our regime that wants to play it’s war games around the world, sending more young men and women to die for the hubris of politicians empire mentality.

We need to always show that peace is the only answer and remind people of the brutal reality of war because it’s very easy for people to think it’s fine to use violence against states we disagree with, when they have no concept of its consequences.

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war.

A great story about a little bit of 'humanity' during a terrible war. In April 1945, 2nd Lt. Peter During was a South African fighter pilot (N.7 Squadron) running missions over Italy when his Spitfire was shot down by German AA fire. He managed to crash land his plane behind enemy lines where he was immediately captured. Whilst been escorted to a German Lufwaffe Prisoner of War (POW) camp (he was a pilot and thus his interrogation and imprisonment was the responsibility of the German airforce), he opened a conversation with his captors. He was quickly able to establish that they could already see the writing on the wall, that the war was at an end and Germany would lose it. ...

He said the family were "acutely aware" there were "extremists of all sides who are keen to hijack this incident for their own ends".

The family of a man who was kicked in the head by police at Manchester Airport has appealed for "calm in all the communities", an MP has said. Paul Waugh, Rochdale MP, said the "traumatised" family wanted to make it clear they had "no political agenda whatsoever" and did not condone political violence. Anger over the video led to protests outside Rochdale police station on Wednesday and Thursday nights, with another protest also held in Manchester city centre on Thursday. Mr Waugh said the family would not be attending any protests or giving any media interviews as they wanted their privacy protected. "The strong message they wanted to give is that they have no political agenda whatsoever," he told BBC Breakfast. "They wanted me to issue an appeal for calm among all sorts of different communities in Rochdale. "We've had a history of unfortunate division in our town and we do not want to go back to those days." He said the famil...
