Another important @ulrichspeck thread.
RT @ulrichspeck: The war in Ukraine is far from over -- yet the question looms large now whether Putin will choose escalation or accept defeat. A few thoughts.

Your first set of tweets were insulting, arrogant, imperial and full of bizarre entitlement. We’ve had enough of that. Why would we want to have even more of that here?

Another great thread from political scientist @KristiRaik
RT @KristiRaik: Starting from tomorrow, the Baltic states and Poland will close their border to Russian tourists. The only land border for Russian tourists to enter the EU will be Finnish border.
Finland’s refusal to join the Baltic-Polish approach has sparked heated discussion in Finland. /1

The Ukrainian curriculum “was aimed at turning you into an idiot”, said Kyrylo Stremousov, a former anti-vaccine blogger made deputy governor of the occupied Kherson region by the Russians."

Ukrainians (as Russians) use their skills (skills of Russian people) in combination with west technologies - that's why they are winning.

So you know Hadrian's Wall? Well for over 1000 years everyone thought it was built by someone else.
Until, in 1840, John Hodgson, an unknown Northumbrian clergyman published the LONGEST footnote in history.

It does, however, reduce the Russians' tax burden for prison upkeep.
