"Через пожежі в Європі почали детонувати боєприпаси часів світових воєн", — Associated PressНасправді, від спеки почали вибухати старі, протухлі кремлівські консерви — "режисери", "музиканти", "вчителі", "вчені", "спортсмени" й інші "хороші руzьські" з "команди #huylo". Бо вони не користуються кондиціонерами, через те, що їх навчили, що за допомогою цих пристроїв їх "можуть відстежити, підслухати і викрити західні спецслужби"

Your regular reminder that #Fascist draft dodging #DonaldTrump trying to unconstitutionally label "Antifa violence" as "terrorism" would mean every single Allied #WWII #veteran is a "terrorist" by their insane "definition". *EVERYONE* that kicks Nazi asses is literally an #Antifacist. Vance was right, Trump is officially "America's Hitler" now.

The New Look debutta su Apple TV+ il 14 febbraio, con Ben Mendelsohn come Christian Dior e Juliette Binoche come Coco Chanel.

New documents surfaced in September indicating that Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel may have played a double role during World War II, serving not only as an informant for the Nazis but also as a member of the French Resistance.
But a historian has “serious doubts” about her alleged membership in La Résistance, suggesting the French fashion icon may have used the documents to restore her reputation after the war.
