Ukrainian choppers put an exclamation point on the victory by bombing a Russian refueling depot inside Russia itself!</p><p>“I think the bottom line, the essence of the story, is that <strong>Mr. Putin believed the nonsense that he was spouting, which is that Ukraine is a fake state hijacked by a small clique </strong>— and the moment you put a finger on it the entire thing would collapse like a house of cards, with the Ukrainian president running away,” Jonathan Eyal, associate director of the Royal United Services Institute, a think tank in London said. “Everything else followed this original error.”</p><p>“I can’t get inside Putin’s head, but I think that, yes, he really expected to take Kyiv in like three days,” said Vitalii Hemych, 28, a restaurant owner.</p><p>“But our nation is now united. That is the main reason why his plan failed.”</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=7381a340163e" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hey, Kids!</strong></p><p>Watch this live history lesson about <strong>White Demographic Decline</strong> direct from the Senate of the United States of America.</p><p><strong>Rather than cheering this major historical event, these Republican U.S. Senators are walking out just as the first African American woman, Ketanji Jackson, is selected as a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.</strong></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1512135481827500038"><strong>https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1512135481827500038</strong></a></p><p>Was this planned? “Hey, let’s all walk out together. That’ll show ‘em!”</p><p>What they are demonstrating here is <strong>White Demographic Decline.</strong></p><p>The fact is that there is a steady, inexorable decrease in the white populace as a percentage of the total population in cities, states, subregions, and nations.</p><p>This irreversible trend is being recorded in a number of countries and smaller jurisdictions, including the United States of America. <strong>Under 18 Non-Hispanic White Americans in the US. had already become a minority in 2020.</strong></p><p>Demographers and social psychologists researching racial shift conditions have shown how <strong>white people’s hostility to other racial groups increases in proportion to their awareness of a drop in white population share.</strong></p><p>The slow but inexorable <strong>demographic decline of white Americans to the status of one minority among others has begun to register in popular consciousness</strong>, making it harder for anyone to suppose that American identity could still be white identity.</p><p><strong>The Senators walking out are merely proving their own irrelevance.</strong></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=1dfa714c335e" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
