I find it utterly insane that the same United States that wants to punish the world for its abuse and parasitic behaviour is the same United States that wants to build the largest military city on the planet right here in Romania, an underdeveloped country from Eastern Europe that can't exist without being a parasite. 🇺🇸 🪱 🇷🇴

@Free_Press Russian captivity..

I heard a lot about that during my formative years as a child from my grandparents.

Toned down, of course, but stories about the kind of abuse Russians inflict on their prisoners of war have been part of my upbringing.

I believe this is why Eastern Europe can see what Russia is doing very clearly, while the West does not.

We share a common multi-generational trauma that makes us resistant to their lies.

Last year, we took a week to drive slowly from Berlin along the "Balkan route" via the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia and North Macedonia to my husband's Greek family's house on the Ionian Sea. This picture is from #NoviSad in #Serbia, where, like everywhere else, we met the nicest people and spent a lovely evening. I always think about it now when I hear news about today's remarkable protests there.
