Raise your voice
What does RAISE YOUR VOICE mean?
talk louder – I can’t hear you. Can you raise your voice, please?
make yourself heard – laat je horen!
it’s a call to action – you need to do something, let them know you are angry/frustrated/no longer taking their shit.
The USSR (communist Russia) took control of several countries after WWII.
Stalin, their leader, thought Ukraine was not loyal to the USSR.
And so from 1932…
..to 1933 he starved 3,9 million Ukrainians to death (13% of the population) by confiscating food and blocking food from entering Ukraine.
Basically they are saying that Ukraine is not really a country.
Russian media and Russian citizens are not allowed to call it a war, because according to Putin it is a 'special operation'. Not a war.
But why do we need to learn history at school?
Because this is nothing new!!!
We’ve been here before!!!
History always repeats itself!!!
Remember this lederhosen wearing m#f%?!
Sudetenland
Was the eastern part of Czechoslovakia
It had a large German speaking population
Hitler:“Zey speak ze German language so it should be part of ze German Reich!”
Europe: “OK Herr Hitler, we will let you take Sudetenland, but no more! And don’t start a war!”
Hitler: “Of course not Schatzi. Don’t vorry.”
They signed the treaty of Munich on 30 September 1938 and just over a year later……
World War II started!!! 🤦♂️
Putin said the ‘special operation’ would be over in three days.
They’ve been fighting Ukraine for more than three years now!
At this rate it will take Russia 80 years to conquer Ukraine.
Russia already took this bit of Ukraine in 2014
After Ukraine, who will be next on Russia's list?
Bucha July 2023: 501 civilians and prisoners of war massacred by Russian forces
