It seems like this needs repeating: - The Soviet Union was not a union. - It was Russian occupation. - It was Russian imperialism. - It was brutal, cruel and oppressive. - The West abandoned the East. - And Russia made them suffer. - Just like they do to Ukraine now. Thanks.

Although 🇺🇸 is No 1 in military support to 🇺🇦, overall its 🇪🇺🇬🇧 that is dominating the support. The financial aid from 🇪🇺 is absolutely critical for the continued functioning and resilience of the 🇺🇦 economy and state.

“If Moscow sees the US as a declining power, and Trump as a destroyer of the old liberal system… it will most likely expect a period of chaos and change to last for years to come, and act accordingly.” Excellent @ecfr ⁦@KadriLiik⁩ paper.

@KareMHaret @karlsen30056 @HellandOle Har vi lov til å sende militære styrker til Svalbard hvis russiske «polarforskere» tar kontroll med hybride midler? Eller er det en politioppgave? Har vi trente kapasiteter? @oysteinbogen skrev ubehagelig realistisk om hvordan slikt angrep kan arte seg: https://t.co/5grygTRSZ1

Aserbajdsjans president Ilham Aliyev anklager Russland for å prøve å dekke over årsaken til at flyet styrtet, hvilket han naturligvis har rett i. https://t.co/sg7nRaPFPW

This is getting more and more disturbing.

Given that “Adrian Dittman” is Elon Musk, this has to go down as possibly the saddest tweet of all time. All that money. All that power. And the man just wants validation.

Återigen väljer @svd att rubriksätta med det ryska narrativet. 90 % av läsarna (ungefär) läser bara rubriken och får en bestående åsikt från den. Vänligen sätt bättre rubriker. Det kanske inte genererar lika många klick (?) men det är ansvarsfullt i denna tid av

Elon Musk has taken a stunning new public step in his support for the far-right German political party AfD, publishing a supportive guest opinion piece for the Welt am Sonntag newspaper that prompted the commentary editor to resign in protest.

Finland tar täten - igen. De utnyttjar lagens möjligheter istället för att ängsligt hålla sig i mittfåran och använda silkesvantar. Ett paradexempel på säkerhetspolitiskt kroppsspråk, som är det enda som biter på Kreml. ⁦@StefanForss46⁩

A good article on the anatomy of a disinformation campaign, and how such campaigns will get increasingly sophisticated. https://t.co/qMfECGw0tM

8/Also: Trump has operated under rules that say you can never piss off a big chunk of your base. Musk is doing the opposite, which means he doesn’t care about winning elections anymore; which suggests he thinks we won’t have any more actual elections. Concerning.

5/So it is probably not correct to think of this in terms of a rift within MAGA or the Republican Party, as those constructs are effectively obsolete within this framework. Going forward, pay attention to who is rewarded by the ‘new elite,’ and who is marginalized.

MAGA got their civil war. But there's a nuance.

Strange to hear any mention of urgency from a German government whose main priority has been avoiding any confrontation of Russian aggression. Perhaps polling on appeasement has sunk in?

Why this fear of “tactical nuclear weapons”? Why? It makes no sense. The weapons used today destroy and poison as much, so why this fear? I don’t get it. It’s not like ICBMs are gonna start flying. Russian oligarchs are not suicidal and the Kremlin will not nuke their own kids.

"But Biden supported Ukraine so much..."

why do we allow this to continue??? real question... without US aid it would have broken up in 1994... '

Thank you! 🇪🇪🤝🇫🇮

Finnish authorities struggled against time when they took over the Eagle S ship belonging to the Russian shadow fleet. If the ship hadn't been moved off its course, it would have cut also another electricity cable between Finland and Estonia, Estlink 1, within half an hour.

I’ve written extensively on how badly the Biden admin has betrayed Ukraine from the earliest days, but new information keeps coming out making it even worse. From Amb John J Sullivan on the Freakonomics podcast, on Trump too. Read or listen to it: https://t.co/NuQCuQsxnl
