      WHat does gender have to do with it. Lots of women are not out in the trenches, lots of men are system critics as well. Lots of men and women remain in silent support of dictators the world over. It’s about courage in the face of power and about freedom, you’re right that far.

      Wait until she founds Zelenskyy is the Ukrainian president because Putin assigned him.

      Putin's Rassia is a madhouse. They live in an absurd parallel universe and I can tell you directly having Russian close friends; and talking about the horror of the war, it was just like speaking to a wall. They really believe in the BS of propaganda since 2014 and they just don't want to see, to read or to listen to, what really happens in Ukraine. I lost friends I knew for so many years because of this paradox. Their bubble of lies is more important than 3/4 of the world speaking against Putin.

Maybe Democrats are all devil worshipping Freemasons, and entertainment is full of satanic Illuminati.

    Women are always the first to feel the boot, but they are quite often the first to resist it because deep down we know that if we don’t, no one else will be coming to save us. Fear and repression are always the most used methods of the fundamentally weak and insecure people; those who must wrap themselves in violence and superiority to continue. This woman here is another example of why humanity moves forward in spite of all odds. Believe in yourself, support the people in your life to be free. Small and large actions are needed and both are equally important. Never ever give up. ❤

    To me, she embodies the true meaning of the word, 'a patriot'. Putting the needs of her people over and above her own, and also I would call her a 'hero', as she did this knowing of the critical consequences to herself. We forget in the western democratic world, how fragile democracy is, and we need to fight for it too. We look at autocratic regimes and think how lucky we are to live in a democracy, where we have the simple right to air an opinion. However I fear that right even in our democratic states, is being eroded. Freedom of speech and protesting (peacefully), even if it causes disruption to you, is the fundamental right of democracy. We live in times of media barons controlling the political and cultural narrative, let's call it want its is 'Propoganda'. Particularly in the UK and USA, these media barons hold the real power, and push our people into a partisan culture, you're either with or against us. It's an age old tactic, divide and rule'. If we all just had 10% of her bravery, empathy and integrity, just questioned and fact checked all these opinions (propoganda) we are force fed, get our news and opinions from a wide variety of sources, not just our own 'echo chambers', and realise not everyone has our views, but try to find things we have in common, so we can have productive debate over where our opinions differ. Or maybe I am just naive, you can't fight human nature?😅
