Back to visions again. They had "visions" about Russia too but they neither heard nor saw reality.
Empiricism was at the base of the rise of the West and modern science. But now we're back to visions.
RT @ajwsmall: "The French president also noted he had discussed the [China trip] with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday, saying the two shared “a common vision.” That vision: “Engage with China in order to put pressure on Russia.” (!) - https://www.politico.eu/article/ursula-von-der-leyen-emmanuel-macron-china-trip/

A good thread
RT @MattLightCrim: Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a necolonial war: two examples. 1) Russia's systematic looting of Ukraine's artistic heritage in the regions it occupies is both an act of plunder worthy of King Leopold and a malignant attempt to erase Ukraine's cultural heritage and identity. 1/

Thank you Russia 👍🏻
RT @minna_alander: Exciting news: the 4 Nordic countries Denmark 🇩🇰 Finland 🇫🇮 Norway 🇳🇴 and Sweden 🇸🇪 have agreed to work towards operating their approx 250 fighter jets as one fleet.
Excellent to see the Nordics using the fullest potential of regional cooperation 🫶

Now it’s BICs and Mordor, as it were.
RT @anders_aslund: Effectively, this means that BRICS is finished. Putin can no longer go to or meet with the leaders of Brazil and South Africa. Time for Modi to catch up!

RT @SpiroAgnewGhost: Donald Trump just posted a photo of him holding a baseball bat next to a photo of DA Bragg. This is totally cool, @SpeakerMcCarthy, right?

Always good to read people who know what they’re talking about instead of insta-pundits on everything who, to be polite, don’t.

He won't set in Germany, Dima.
Now give the vodka a break. You're bloated and you make no sense.
Korsakoff's Syndrome?
RT @visegrad24: Dmitri Medvedev reacting to Germany saying they will arrest Putin if he sets foot in Germany.
Medvedev says Russia is a nuclear power and would send all their missiles against the Bundestag in such a situation.

Pigs.
RT @Gerashchenko_en: Several kids that Russia kidnapped were returned to Ukraine. Listen to what they say.
They were told their parents abandoned them, promised adoption into 🇷🇺 families and told they are now forever "children of Russia"
And Russian discipline: getting beaten with a metallic rod.

RT @mfa_russia: 💬 #Zakharova: 🇫🇮 Finland’s decision to join NATO cannot be regarded as well-considered
It was adopted riding on the wave of unprecedented Russophobic hysteria unleashed by the US & its allies, without a public debate.

Not sure why @unherd chose to illustrate this article with a picture of @Columbia, one of the last US colleges to require *all* undergrads to read the "Great Books", i.e. the antithesis of what much of US undergraduate education is about these days.

This is bizarre, @Twitter.
RT @k_sonin: Without any warning or notification, @Twitter removed my tweet urging professional economists to sign the economists' open letter debunking Jeffrey Sachs' commentary on Ukraine: https://voxukraine.org/en/open-letter-to-jeffrey-sachs/. Read and sign, please - the letter is timely and informative.

This is far, far more significant than most of the discussion up till now on the West and Ukraine (tanks, Himars, F-16s, etc).
