“But it worried about escalation and the reaction from Moscow, particularly given Germany’s troubled history with Russia, and so refused to move first“
Typical. Germans killed far more Ukrainians than Russians, but the “troubled history” is with Russia.
Shame @ecfr to say this.

Awful, sickening. What an uncivilized regime, one more pariah in the pantheon of failed post-communist states reverting to authoritarian type, but with capitalism. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/16/mikheil-saakashvili-georgia-jailed-ex-president-nears-death-in-hospital

Insightful thread from @AmyZegart
RT @AmyZegart: Been thinking about #Teixeria's fast arrest in the #IntelligenceLeak case and how it showcases the changing nature and rising power of open-source intel. A thread.

A fascinating thread on air power: Russian pilot fears and Ukrainians’ lack of decent aircraft
RT @Mylovanov: Today I talked to a Ukrainian pilot. He is a commander of an aviation unit conducting combat and evacuation missions. In Bakhmut and elsewhere.
The story that captured my attention was of his conversations with Russian pilots. They know each from before the invasion. 1

An American posing as a Russian who churned out pro-Russian disinformation now exposed.
RT @P_Kallioniemi: In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce an American propagandist and podcaster, Donbass Devushka. She's best-known for her fake Russian identity, for her pro-Russian podcast, and for spreading false, pro-Russian narratives on social media.

Important insights in this thread from @andrewmichta
RT @andrewmichta: 🧵As I follow Russian media and the tenor of Russian politics, I am increasingly convinced that we are potentially looking at a historic inflection point in #Russia. I would call it "de-Westernization"-- an effort to return Russia's self-definition to its pre-European roots. 1/6

To quote Ronald Reagan, “Tear down this wall”
RT @KuldkeppMart: A stylised graffiti with a quote by Vladlen Tatarsky has appeared where the Soviet T-34 tank monument used to be, close to Narva, Estonia:
'We will win, we will kill everyone, we will rob everyone who needs to be robbed. Everything will be the way we love.'

How big is the EU aid budget for Egypt? I would shut it down; a country that lives off the West's largesse plans to produce 40,000 rockets to Russia to kill Ukrainians

An important and perspicacious thread on the Macron interview almost every foreign and security person in Europe east of the Rhine is asking "Huh???"
RT @minna_alander: The regular outrages about Macron (mis)quotations seem to be a particular problem for him but also raise broader questions of France’s ability to offer the leadership Macron envisions.
