So many Western Europeans have no clue why Easterners in the EU and NATO have such different views on Ukraine.
No, Balts and Poles are not "war mongers" as we have been called at the highest levels Europe.
We just know what it's like. h/t @sankuperis

Russia's very own Paris Hilton shuttles and posts on instagram from the beaches of Biarritz to Moscow to Lithuania. And the news media unfortunately falls for it all.

RT @minna_alander: Now, Ukraine will very likely go on fighting with or without Western support. And northeastern European countries will likely go on supporting Ukraine, with or without the countries further in Western Europe. The stakes are too existential to compromise

I wrote about this very phenomenon in 2019, though using Nietzsche’s concept of “resentiment”
Kirjutasin samast fenomenist 2019. aastal, kasutades Nietzsche mõistet “resentiment”

RT @washingtonpost: Officials in some closely contested states are warning that the winners of tight races may not be known on election night, raising the possibility of a delay that Donald Trump and his allies could exploit to cast doubt on the integrity of the midterm vote. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/11/07/election-officials-fear-counting-delays-will-help-fuel-claims-fraud/?utm_campa…

RT @GlebYarovoy: A so-called "Export support center of the Karelian Republic" (official government body) published a Map of Sovereign Republic of Karelia. There is also a Petrograd republic neighboring Karelia. What did they want to say with this?
UPD: the map was deleted, but Google remembers!

You’ve got to give him credit for setting an example.
RT @A_SHEKH0VTS0V: Russian priest Mikhail Vasilyev, who had suggested to Russian mothers to give birth to more children so they would not be afraid to send their adult sons to #Russia's war against #Ukraine, was just killed in Ukraine.

What’s with the red berets in the audience, @JuliaDavisNews? Do they need convincing?
RT @JuliaDavisNews: Meanwhile in Russia: top propagandist Vladimir Solovyov was dispatched to address the youth. He lied up a storm, mixed trash talk with biblical references & veiled nuclear threats & told the young to get ready to march to the front as soon as they're old enough. Watch this mess:

I didn't come to this site years ago to read about the site itself.
Its utility comes from news and the views of people who actually know something about one thing or another.
Meta news and views about the site itself for me are not a reason to spend my time scrolling.

This thread!!!
RT @TimothyDSnyder: I have been hearing the idea from some Republicans that Ukrainian resistance comes at a cost to Americans. Nothing could be more wrong. Ukrainian resistance provides extraordinary security benefits to Americans. 1/

Spot on and a good short intro to why there are so many bad IR takes on serious issues in the world today.
RT @RadioFreeTom: A short thread here about why so some scholars including in intl relations are saying useless things about the Ukraine war.
Nearly thirty years ago, political science as a field became obsessed with being "scientific." That is, one of the human sciences got tired of humans. /1
