Neutral Sweden sanctions ‘pro-nuclear’ Gergiev
NewsThe Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm has issued a rare political statement, expelling Valery Gergiev from its membership.
‘He was excluded on the basis of his unwillingness to take a stand against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a stance that the academy demanded of him in consideration of his well-documented close relationship with President Vladimir Putin … The academy should not be associated with a person who so unequivocally supports a regime that threatens nuclear war.’
Well said …
“Either you are with us or with the terrorists.” George Bush
Comrade H no one has any doubt that you are with the perpetrator of mass murder in Ukraine. I know there are alternative interpretations to every atrocity especially if search the web for kremlin-linked bloggers. The actions of just the last 48 hours speak volumes as to why anyone who fails to condemn firing 80 missiles into Ukrainian cities should be denounced.
If he had said that in this current situation, former President George W. Bush would’ve been 100% correct: “…either you’re with us or the terrorists…”, in this case, Putin. Good for the Royal (Swedish) Academy of Music.
If you’re not with us, you are against us. Ok…
That’s good! It was the last thing to do – now the war is over! Good job!
‘Neutral’ Sweden applied to join NATO a few weeks ago and so is presumably no longer neutral.
Well,maybe Sweden can´t afford neutrality any more,with the little would be Stalin being quite near.Or they just know the difference between right and wrong.
“The academy should not be associated with a person who so unequivocally supports a regime that threatens nuclear war.” Makes sense to me.
