Month: December 2024
Personal: Some updates
I’m slowly working on a follow-up to my previous post, Down the Rabbit Hole: Preface. It’s almost finished except for the screenshots and videos, which I have more to search for. I think that most of the videos are on my memory cards from my previous Android tablet.
I’m considering retiring this blog when my web hosting service plan expires in April. I’ve been feeling more physically worn out than usual. Posting drains a lot of energy from me. Even reading is exhausting anymore. Damn you, fibromyalgia!
I can barely keep my eyes open, so I’m going to bed early. Have a good night!

“The National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine supported the decision to appeal to the United Nations and the European Union on the “deployment of a peacekeeping and security mission in Ukraine.” This is not news from today, when the composition and size of a possible peacekeeping mission of European countries is being discussed after the possible ceasefire, but from February 18, 2015. Days earlier, in the Belarusian capital, after negotiations involving Angela Merkel, François Hollande, Petro Poroshenko and Vladimir Putin, the only peace agreement of this war had been signed and a ceasefire was to begin, which was to be routinely violated, and the political process that would return Donbass to Ukraine under very specific conditions and with certain linguistic, cultural, political and economic rights that Kiev always considered unacceptable and never had the slightest intention of fulfilling. Ukraine, which had suffered the second major defeat in the Donbass war at Debaltsevo after Ilovaisk in September 2014, was at its lowest point, its army was at risk of being overwhelmed and it needed to stop the war in order to recover and become stronger while waiting for the next phase of a war that all parties were aware was not over.
