RT @shashj: This is just embarrassing. ‘The “personal time Xi is devoting to the visit shows that France is not considered to be a country like any other," a clearly-flattered Macron told reporters.’ https://www.politico.eu/article/china-divide-rule-eu-france-unity-ursula-von-der-leyen-emmanuel-macron-xi-jinping/

Population transfers by the occupying power to occupied areas is forbidden by the Geneva Convention.
It's NO obstacle whatsoever to kick them out. None
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.

When Estonia became free, most people disposessed by the Sov occupation got their property back. Too bad for the occupant-thieves.
It took 50 years. In Ukraine it will take much less.
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.

RT @Phil_Lewis_: For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a billionaire Republican donor, newly obtained docs and interviews show.
These trips appeared nowhere on Thomas’ financial disclosures, and he appears to have broken the law

This supposedly professional regiment was in Izyum before its liberation. They committed the massive atrocities and war crimes found there.
