Joshua Maponga said absolutely nothing but the fact.

When Ukraine became an independent country upon the breakup of the Soviet Union, it, along with Belarus and Kazakhstan, signed the Budapest Memorandum, an agreement with Russia, the US, and the UK where it gave up the immense stockpile of Soviet nuclear weapons it retained (then the third-largest nuclear arsenal in the world), and signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, on the condition that, among other things, the other signatories, including Russia, would respect it's sovereignty and borders. It is facing the threat of annihilation now because this agreement has not been upheld.

2. Any "peace" achieved by the surrender of Ukraine's land and people to Russian occupation and genocide would be an illusory and temporary one. Not only for the subjugated and brutalized people of Ukraine, who would no more know peace than any other people under authoritarian rule, but for the world. Every nation with expansionist aims would see Russia's victory as proof that they too could get away with annexing weaker countries' territory by force. This has not been the norm for nearly a century (for all the criticisms of the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the US never tried to outright annex either country's territory into the US). What we are talking about is a return to the days of colonial "Great Powers"- a world order which gave us two world wars in less than thirty years before we finally put an end to it.

I finally finished my first build in months! This house is based on the ones found in Salem, MA. I named it after Bridget Bishop, one of the women who was killed in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. 

The house is very simple and decorated with late 17th C. furniture. It has a dining room, sitting room, study, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a large herb garden. There is also a huge central hearth for warming up your simsies. It’s up to you if you have a witchy sim live there or not...

I started off trying not to use too much CC, but it’s impossible to create historically accurate stuff without! Essential cc would be the Lofte Living set from @peacemaker-ic​ as well as his recolours of the Clapboard siding. I used a fireplace insert from Severinka’s ‘Stoves and Fireplaces’ set on TSR. The bible and cross are from @aroundthesims​. The tub and artwork is from @pandorasimbox​. If there is anything else big that I’ve missed let me know. Thanks to all CC creators who make building so much easier :)

To download the house, search for simsthroughtime on the gallery. Make sure to have the cc box enabled and bb.moveobjects on before placing. 

*The house is on a 40x30 lot but a lot of that is trees. You could probably get it onto a smaller one!
