Make no mistake: this shouldn’t mean that the Ukrainian power supply system is now in excellent condition.

Right now, to me it’s unclear if it completely run its stocks of ballistic- and cruise missiles dry, or concluded it’s pointless to keep on trying because of improved Ukrainian air defences, but: it’s been nearly a month since its last big-style, determined effort to collapse the system, and Kyiv has meanwhile announced its intention to resume exports of electricity to the EU. The GenStab in Moscow seems to have abandoned its pretensions on destroying the power grid of Ukraine. If for no other reason then because I’m both mature and sober enough, and certainly not in need of some lazy or under-educated teenagers teaching me what should be ‘right’ or ‘wrong’. On the contrary, jumping to conclusions on basis of catching and hanging on a single word is – as much as typical for our times – nothing else than dumb and offensive. And, rumor has it: communication is the essence of humanity. That’s the fundamentals of something called ‘communication’. If you can’t understand: ask for explanation. Sufficient to say: as can be seen when actually reading my posts of the last three months (transferred to this account, meanwhile) I’ve used that expression at least 3-4 times.Īs far as I’m concerned: that’s explaining everything.

That became plain obvious when the administrators in question (plus certain ‘colleagues’ in the USA) complained I’ve used it (once), and asked if I think I’ve explained its use properly. However, complaining about its use without actually reading what I wrote is both ridiculous and offensive. To make sure: yes, I know that’s no nice word. Essentially, administrators of Medium began accusing me of publishing ‘hatespeech’ – because I’ve quoted soldiers of the ZSU who called their generals ‘faggots’. Another reason for my ‘stop’ in reporting about the war in Ukraine is also the reason why am I now posting on Substack instead on Medium.
