Yes, @RikeFranke... and continue to this day in think tanks and the AA to patronize and demonize, cast as primitives and russophobes, all those in the "Zwischenländer" between Germany and Russia, "who just don't get it" but whose security concerns turned out to be all too real.
RT @RikeFranke: What a glorious rant by Stephan Bierling in @Security_Table .

The hypocrisy of a "Christmas" ceasefire announced today -- denied three weeks ago but when things are suddenly going badly and desperately needed by Russia to beef up its rapist army... suddenly they're all Christian again.
RT @TheStudyofWar: NEW: #Putin’s announcement that Russian forces will conduct a 36-hour ceasefire in observance of Russian Orthodox Christmas is likely an information operation intended to damage #Ukraine’s reputation. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-january-5-2023

Can we all just be spared, please? There's a war going on.
RT @CNN: Prince Harry has accused his brother, William, of physically assaulting him during an argument over his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex in 2019, according to The Guardian https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/05/europe/prince-harry-book-prince-william-physical-attack-intl-hnk/index.html?utm_medium=social&utm_term=video&utm_source=twCNN&utm_content=2023-01-05T18%3A51%3A03

Oh the snearing disdain, the hate, the sadistic fantasies of inflicting pain and torture on the innocent....

Photography as fine as his writing, from David @dpatrikarakos. A thread I urge you to look at now and read when it appears, from one of the best, most perceptive people writing on war today.
RT @dpatrikarakos: THREAD: I was fortunate enough to spend new year in a trench on the frontlines of southern #Ukraine just kilometres from the #Russia positions. I must be careful about locations etc. What follows are my observations on the war here. Read the full story this …

No law or now law, @ragnars ? Big difference

Nah, Putin did it. No Sippenhaft!
RT @GlasnostGone: #LestWeForget: Feb 2022, Russia's invasion forces were advancing on #Ukraine's capital Kyiv & little Polina was in her last year of primary school. Russian soldiers killed her, her mother & father & seriously wounded her brother & sister. To date, Russia's killed 452 🇺🇦 children.

While generally critical of style and substance, I strongly support my foreign minister on this move.
This is a necessary step. As with tourist visas amidst a genocidal war, someone must have the courage to take the first step.
Come on Europe, let's move on this.

“Whoever caused the damage must pay compensation for the damage!”

This is a strong and cogent argument for a more robust Western response in Ukraine:

Lobachevskyan arithmetic?
RT @TheDeadDistrict: US had delivered 20 HIMARS to the Ukraine, 27 of them already has been destroyed by Russian Army.
I love Russian mathematics:
20=27

63=363

Oops.
RT @fatimatlis: Frequently cited Telegram channel “General of SVR” writes today that the Makiivka “disaster” caused much havoc in Russia with various ministries and security agencies all reporting to Putin with a 24 hour delay and different numbers of casualties - Defense ministry least of all.

Remember him?
RT @k_sonin: Ruslan Khasbulatov, who in 1993 led a rainbow coalition of conservatives against President Yeltsin, died at the age of 80. Nobody knew him before 1991, when he rose as a Yeltsin's trusted deputy; nobody heard of him after he was pardoned in 1994. Zweig's Grouchy at Waterloo...

EL on märganud, et asi pole alati kõige paremini tehtud.
Bicycle infrastructure remains fragmented, and there seems to be little concern to create a coherent and safe network that enables people to commute from the outskirts of the city to the center.

Some people with no foreign or security policy experience just know better.
People who know better than the rest of us, even if we might just have a tad more experience, are known as...
...Besserwissers!
RT @steven_pifer: NATO members have provided #Ukraine with HIMARS rocket systems, heavy artillery, T-72 tanks and other armored vehicles, among other things.
Why do some in Berlin think providing Leopard 2 tanks is so different that it would spark direct #NAT…

I suppose this is why the Irish want to join the UK right?
Yet this is what we hear from Americans and Western Europeans, tech bro billionaires and Realist foreign policy experts.
RT @BadBalticTakes: “As you can see, Ireland is mostly pro-London. The white areas are where the English [speakers] live and where there wouldn’t be resistance to an English invasion.”

Navalny called Putin’s United Russia Party the Party of Crooks and Thieves.
From the wimpy milquetoast comments from republican leaders and the reality on the ground it looks like America’s parliamentary majority will be in the hands of the party of Kooks and Dweebs.

Seem to have forgotten to have taken a hammer to the Mac Airbook, like some did after 24.02 US sanctions kicked in.
