Thank you brother! Local boys with some actual skin in the game instead of posers trying to make a buck off the misfortune of others, they even managed to ask and get permission from The Clash before recording it. Yeah, punk might not take much talent musically but it's the message that matters, there's a lot of vulgarity in there any way you slice it.

Beautiful!

I saw the Clash at Bonds in Time Square in the early '80's and as great as it sounded (and we looked), this is the real deal. Very nice!

Had a chance to see them at The Heatwave Festival just outside Toronto in 1980, they got caught up at the U.S./Canadian border while trying to get to the show and didn't make it in time. We thought Detroit was the center of the Punk universe until we got there, after all Patti Smith had made it her new home by then. Who moves to Detroit to start and raise a family? The godmother of punk of course, along with a proto-punk legend and she didn't even need to change her last name. Anyhow, enough about us.

The Free Ukraine Resistance Movement is a citizen-led movement dedicated to the protection and restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine operating since 2014. Check out our website: https://www.freeukraine.org.ua/ Today Ukraine is the front line in the fight against tyranny in Europe. We will resist! From the first day of the aggression in 2022, we began deploying forces and means and, at the same time, engaged in active hostilities. Our activists operate in almost all regions of Ukraine, counteracting the invader in the Kyiv region and the eastern borders of Ukraine. They are fighting as the members of the Volunteer Battalions, Territorial Defence Battalions, regular units and underground organisations. Our second front is media communications and diplomacy, as well as the humanitarian aid organisation for the families of heroes. http://freeukraine.org.ua/donate

Can't say this surprises me at all .....

...Thankfully, Ukraine is not at all disposed to relinquish their freedom and take the easy road to oppression, forfeiting their way of life...

I think it's hard to overemphasis just how important Zelensky's decision to stay, and the "The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride." quote is. It stiffened the Ukranian resistance and galvanized world opinion. I not generally much for the "Great Man" theory of history, but there are times when the actions of one person can have a profound effect.

I've recently found this guy's channel and have been checked out a few of his videos, just a common guy showing the effects of the sanctions on ordinary Russian people. Although his focus is mostly connected to consumer culture it makes it more accessible to those of us who live in a similar culture, he interjects some well balanced opinions of his own along the way. Good stuff, worth checking out.

Astounding isn't it?
Or maybe not. In the USA, were it possible, I would have voted for George Carlin or Pat Paulsen or Steve Martin or even Robin Williams etc. every time.

"We're upping our game, up yours!" Pat Paulson

Why do the intelligent make fun of those in power? Because if you can't cope with the bitterness of what you see going on then you become a drag on those around you, them who either cannot or absolutely refuse to recognize the danger behind the corruption power often brings. In the case of the latter, see the opening quote.

This invasion has accomplished something I didn't think was possible .... Shake enough money out of the Feds to live up to our NATO obligations .... Not something we are known for ..... { and it doesn't matter which party happens to be in power } ......

Yes, it's pretty obvious Putin has no sense of humour. That's dangerous in my world.

Canada still doesn't live up to the % contribution its supposed to make to NATO and has no plans to do so. Only and increase is being made.
maybe we can buy more POS british subs to project our might in the northwest passage?

Are any of you folks aware that this thread has fallen steadily into a rehash of Ukrainian propaganda?
if you want some insight into what russians are seeing then use google news and in its settings select russian language\ Russia
it quite the thing and a refreshing change from the pie in the sky nonsense most western outlets are spreading.

one feed actually showed a story about the death squads sent for the Ukrainian leadership. AN odd development that Russians would be allowed to read that and a possible hopeful indicator that the horror of what's happening might reach everyday russians.
I find that many of the listed stories only have the headline and when clicked are inaccessible likely due to geo location blocks but its still real news that the russians are seeing
As it is they are in a state of economic siege and bound to go native hard.
The childish view that Ukraine is a monolithic ethnically pure state is a horror from an 8th grade United Nations exercise.
The Donbass is largely ethnically Russian and by god honest to god self professed Nazi militias did a photo op with a granny in a major city with a ak47 prior to the invasionww so lets not pretend this is a simple issue.

The stories of gutless boogaloo boys who think wars a game and bollocks about a re lyriced crappy Clash song are useless to everyone

The stories of gutless boogaloo boys who think wars a game and bollocks about a re lyriced crappy Clash song are useless to everyone

That song was recorded last Thursday in Lviv, the video was edited last Friday and it was posted yesterday FROM WITHIN A WAR ZONE and they still managed to get permission to use the song from surviving members of The Clash. The singer is an orthopedist who I'm sure will be treating casualties if he isn't already and the other two musicians are members of the local militia in Lviv. In my view it's best to give people the word from those involved so they can educate themselves instead of telling them something directly where they can claim to know or deny an issue instead of studying it.

If I wanted to I could go into the history of that part of the world and find reason to not like the Red Ruthenians, they didn't treat my folks in Poland very well. It's about what's going on in the world today as it exists TODAY, humans getting through a struggle when little hope is there to cling to.

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”
