Good thing for the West that the FSB is crippling Russia's hypersonic missile development.
How much money does the FSB get from CIA to do this?
🤣🤡
RT @MoscowTimes: In an open letter, the scientists' colleagues warned that the criminal cases risk setting back Russia’s advances in hypersonic technology.

"Valimistel on tagajärjed" ütles endine välisminister, plageerides Obamat.
Demokraatlikes riigis opositsioon aktsepteerib enamuse otsusi.
Meie opositsioon on lihtsalt Trumpi jüngrid.

"Oi-oi äärme kiirusta, me ei tea, mis on tagajärjed"
Meenutagem *kes* seda ütlesid varasemate kiirete sündmuste puhul:
1991 Iseseisvuse taastamine
1992 Eesti kroon, kolhooside likvideerimine
2010 Euroga
Ja nüüd...
2023 Samasooliste abieluga.

Gee @dwnews, why didn't Germany leave up Adolf's monuments?
Why did you blow up the Nürnberg stadium?
Do you have any capacity for self-refection?
At all?

Nato as "a rapacious, pro-war military alliance" ???
Ahem. NATO was *initiated* by a leftist Labour foreign minister, Ernest Bevan, after Soviet coups toppled democratically elected Social Democratic governments in Eastern Europe in 1948.
NATO has merely returned to its roots.

The price of dithering:
"It’s clear the center of gravity for the alliance’s resolve has shifted east: Warsaw, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, and Bucharest are the new backbone of NATO, and the United States should adjust its policies and posture accordingly."

Yes, it would be the first country from the erstwhile Soviet Bloc to do this.
Do us a favor, though, do not say "former Soviet republic", "ehemalige Sovjetrepublik".
It's been a third of a century. We all have troglodytes to deal with.

Covfeve was a media soundbite too.
RT @renato_mariotti: Mueller rightfully resisted using the term "collusion," which has no legal meaning in this context, instead focusing on conspiracy law.
Durham's report comes out and says there is "no actual evidence of collusion," a media soundbite, not a legal conclusion.
What a contrast.

Best, most revealing thread of the day on what Russian mythology is about.
RT @mbk_center: It’s very interesting to see who Putin chose to sit next to during the Victory Day parade.
The two men next to him in this photo may have been presented as WW2 veterans, but neither served in that war at all.
But if they are not WW2 veterans, who are they? 1/6 https://t.co/aE1PrhFa0U
