I keep being told I shouldn’t talk about former politicians
RT @RockOla69: Heinäluoma ei kieltäytynyt ottamasta kunniamerkkiä vastaan, vaikka Venäjä oli jo miehittänyt Krimin ja tuhonnut Aleppon kaupungin terroripommituksilla maan tasalle.
HILJAA!

Gee!
RT @RockOla69: Tämä ote siis Iltalehden jutusta, jossa jostakin syystä mm.mietitään, että Heinäluoman presidenttiehdokkuus on jostakin kumman syystä vähän katkolla.

Indeed, why *should* Europe’s WHO HQ be located in A country whose State media peddaled anti-vaxer propaganda abroad?
RT @martenkokk: We 🇪🇪 proposed at #EPSCO meeting today to relocate the WHO’s European Office for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD Office) from Moscow to Tallinn. Collaboration with agressor state in this respect would be unethical and irresponsible. #EPSCO

Every one of my last four @SAS flights between between Tallinn and Stockholm has been delayed at least an hour. Either direction, it doesn't matter. Today is 1.5 hours and counting.
Do you think this is normal? It certainly seems that way.

A perceptive and thoughtful thread from @MassDara
RT @MassDara: Sharing some overdue thoughts today.
First up: appraisal of the operation under Surovikin’s command, Russia’s transition to the defensive, and the strategy underpinning their strikes on Ukraine’s electrical grid. (/1)

The provincialism and isolation from the real world by these talking heads probably explains a good deal of their proclivity toward glorifying genocide.
RT @bayraktar_1love: Russian propagandists are surprised that there are people in Kherson who can speak English.
Imagine their pure surprise if they find out that there is also an English-speaking cat from Kherson

Another Bannon acolyte flooding the zone with idiocy
RT @atrupar: Rep. James Comer on Fox News suggests the Brittney Griner prisoner swap had something to do with Hunter Biden

RT @ukraine_world: Berlin repeats that Russian military facilities are legitimate targets for Ukraine's forces due to the right to self-defence.
"Such strikes can prevent possible Russian strikes on Ukrainian territory," Germany's government spokesperson Hoffmann says, referring to the UN Charter.

From Ribbentrop on, a simply outstanding sense of responsibility for its own actions, eh @dw_russian
RT @dw_russian: Жизнь для российского вождя
Приятней все же без "Дождя".

Good confession for The Hague
RT @EuromaidanPress: Putin admits that Russian army strives to destroy critical civilian infrastructure in Ukraine
Russia seeks to destroy 🇺🇦energy system in order to retaliate for Ukrainian strikes on the Crimean bridge, Putin claims.

This is true, professor.
RT @KuldkeppMart: I'm reminded of the Russian Whites in 1918-1920, who were constantly complaining that the Baltic governments were Russophobic and not doing enough to overthrow Bolshevism in Russia, WHILE ALSO refusing to recognise these same governments as sovereign and independent.

Three months old but still very much worth reading for those who don't get the Dozhd problem.

Been hanging out with Dima the Dim again, it seems.
RT @anders_aslund: This is the first time that I have seen Putin seeming drunk in any context. He talks nonsense as usual, but he seems to realize that he is a loser. Very interesting & promising. All Russians will see that he is drunk & weak.

Do so, this is a great program.

A remarkable thread from Estonian PM @kajakallas
RT @kajakallas: 🧵 @NewStatesman asked me to look back on the past year.
2022 has made the face of Russian occupation and war crimes visible to the whole world. It's also made clear why giving anything to the aggressor and seeking premature peace is dangerous. 1/

If you want to understand Estonia and the other Baltic countries on Ukraine, read this and avoid the ignorance of too many in Western Europe.

Just a lovely country, sending murderers to Europe to kill people.
RT @AricToler: I can't imagine there's a real chance that Krasikov is released -- he is in a German prison for murdering someone in Berlin, after all -- but also worth noting he wasn't just a "former KGB colonel", he was an active FSB assassin who had killed multiple targets before this.

The boorish attacks on Latvia continue.
Sure, disagree with the decisions of a democratically elected government w/ rule of law, appeal procedures, etc, something unknown to Latvia's east
But every crude "opposition" slur shows it's a simulacrum, not worthy of Western support
