The 2025 Republican hangover after the next two years of Party party will be one for the Millennium.
RT @RonBrownstein: Again underscoring the point that any possible resolution to the speakership fight increases the leverage of far right members pushing the party further toward the politics that voters rejected in so many competitive seats- and made the GOP majority so narrow to begin with

These people do nothing and have done nothing other than troll.
At which they've been extremely successful for seven years.
Trolls, tho, never get anything done.
Now you see them in their full ineptitude.
To the tune of Händel’s "Messiah", everyone sing:
Schadenfreude!

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.
RT @AivoOrav: Estonian Foreign Minister @UrmasReinsalu on frozen Russian assets to help #Ukraine :

Quite the series of events.
What will come out after 2022 will make the late 1940s look like kindergarten.
RT @Andric1961: An unlikely coalition of the US, the EU, a Turkish autocrat, a Caucasian dictator, a Greek Prime Minister & international energy companies helped Bulgaria to become independent from Russian gas basically overnight. Spent a week in Bulgaria for the story of an amazing liberation:

😳 Holy Sh*t.
Simm, the man who spied against Estonia for *both* the Bundesrepublik Deutschland *and* Russia at the *same time*
The oligarch Timchenko ET refused the EU to allow to sanction, Timchenko?
RT @LauraHuu: ”Fun” facts from Finland. Gennady Timchenko’s and Herman Simm’s names have popped up. A late night thread. 🪡

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

This, from someone who knows Russian society and its politics well and from the inside, is well worth reading.
Military options can have much broader political and security considerations. https://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/3795699-theres-a-way-to-end-putin-for-good/

RT @bctallis: Most important point in this story?
Info that Manuela Schwesig was pictured with a contact of Igor Girkin (Strelkov).
SPD Premier of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, who was heavily implicated in the scandal around #NordStream2, was seen with an associate of a known Russian intel officer.

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:

It's never a good idea to want a job too much.
I haven't wanted ever to get the jobs I ended up getting.
It's been an odd life.

Even bigger Oops.
RT @fatimatlis: Putin settled on the numbers provided by his Sec. Council head & FSB colleague Patrushev, that is 312 dead and 157 wounded. The intelligences (FSB, GRU, SVR etc) blamed the military for a “tragic failure” & demanded reprisals. Putin’s to announce his decision in 24 hours.”

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...
