WTF is this electric car that drives around sounding like a goddamn church organ? Who's stupid idea was this?

Even in the final months of the USSR, as the Russians were terrorizing the people of the Baltic states with not only physical brutality, but having cut off food and gas imports to starve the population, the US, UK, France and Germany pressured Vilnius to "ease tensions" with Moscow by offering concessions and to "cease the passing of anti-soviet laws".
The west never learns.

On January 13, 1991, Lithuanians stood hand in hand to defend our Parliament and the institutions of a state with restored independence as Soviet tanks rolled in.
In harsh winter conditions, prayers, songs, and shared hot tea proved stronger than armor and bullets.
14 were killed – and their sacrifice became a symbol of victory, not defeat.
May that spirit inspire millions fighting for freedom today. #January13 #Lithuania #Freedom

Just so the world doesn’t forget…
On the night between January 12th and January 13th 1991, Moscow sent troops to attack Lithuania, killing 14 Lithuanians and wounding 900

35 years ago, in an attempt to brutally crush #Lithuania's Independence, Soviet troops stormed state institutions, killing 14 innocent civilians and injuring hundreds.
Unarmed civilians faced tanks in defence of freedom – Lithuania stood firm and prevailed. 🇱🇹

Vilnius JUG 88 event was a blast. We had one and only @brjavaman giving a talk and signing the #Devoxx 10 poster. Do you know how Vilnius JUG, Bruno and Devoxx 10 poster are related?

After today's Russian missile attack on Lviv, the man in this photo is the only one who survived; his wife and three daughters tragically lost their lives in their own home.

PepsiCo is a great example of a morally bankrupt company hiding behind a facade of “responsibility”.
Pepsi operates 19 plants and employs about 60,000 people in russia.

If you want to find good Russians, look for them in Western capitals leading anti-war, pro-Ukraine demonstrations in front of Russian Federation embassies.
You've never seen such a thing in your whole life? There's your answer about "good Russians."

The Ukrainian U20 decathlon champion Volodymyr Androschuk should have been in France today for the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
He wasn’t there because he was killed by Russia near Bakhmut in January last year.
Russia has killed 487 Ukrainian athletes so far

Ten years ago today a Russian surface to air missile shot down passenger flight MH17 over Ukraine.
Russian fighters celebrated and looted luggage amid the body parts of 298 innocents, including 38 Australians.
Any Australian who supports Putin is a traitor.
