RT @irgarner: @ilvestoomas I love the people who bring this up as a huge obstacle to Ukraine taking Crimea back: "What about all those ordinary Russians who've settled in Crimea and have lives there?!"
Simple: Russia can pay to take them back, since Russia loves looking after "ethnic Russians" so much.

RT @T_Krawchenko: I know a refugee from Mariupol who is in Edmonton now. She saw her neighbours killed by Russians in the street. She fled for her life and now the invaders will live in apartments like hers. Just taking them over.
This is settler colonialism. It’s violent and brutal…

Russia Is Winning in Georgia. By @FukuyamaFrancis
Not good for Georgia when one of leading foreign policy and democracy thinkers in the world says this.
I would advise the GE not to attack Frank in the Sov style they've used against @carlbildt et al.

These trips appeared nowhere on Thomas’ financial disclosures, and he appears to have broken the law
