RT @SofiOksanen: Tänä vuonna ilotulitusrahani menivät tämmöiseen rakettiin. Hyvää uutta vuotta!/ This year my firework money went to this kind of rocket to defend #Ukraine from #RussianAggression. #HappyNewYear ! You can send your own New Year wishes to #Russia with @SignMyRocket #uusivuosi (1/2)

sama, WTF?
RT @elinaribakova: 3/ A similar story of “friends” in 2022 for electronic integrated circuits. Russian imports, number of transactions by country in thousands.

MVO, Eesti??? No tõesti, WTF???
RT @elinaribakova: 2/ New friends that export semiconductors to Russia, top suppliers in 2022.
New top suppliers (by the number of transactions0: China, HK, Estonia (?), and a few other surprising new entrants to the top.

That country with its primitve, medieval barbarism with modern weaponry just makes me want to puke.
RT @igorlachenkov: For russians the "russian New Year at the festive table" is the footage of ruined buildings in Ukraine. These are photos from Kyiv after today’s bombardment by russian rockets. This is how they "greet" us.

Seems like the governments of Texas and Florida have far more what political scientists call "state capacity" than NGOs.
Like state organized trolling is far better at disruption than "people power" use of social media during the Arab Spring.
RT @Heritage: NGOs are helping Joe Biden and @SecMayorkas turn every state in this country into a border state.
We've got the receipts:

The darkness is the afterglow of the bombing.
RT @ilvestoomas: Kyiv, under Russian bombing, now.

Do I detect a lowering of expectations from taking London and Paris only last week?
Is the state of Bardakistan beginning to get to them, the real possibility that they may soon not even exist in the United Nations?
RT @markomihkelson: Russian propaganda is dreaming about the borders of the Soviet Empire from 1989.

Kyiv, under Russian bombing, now.
RT @_venus1nfurs_: the night is dark and full of terrors...but the fire burns them all away.

This is exactly right from the former commander of US Army Europe⤵️
RT @general_ben: Why do we allow Russia to fire from sanctuary? By not providing ATACMS, F16's and other long-range strike capabilities to UKR, we have in effect granted sanctuary to Russia which is able to kill innocent civilians in Ukraine without fear of consequences. Undefendable policy.

State-sanctioned mass looting bill for war criminals signed by "President" Putin.
RT @MartinKragh1: Putin signs major corruption bill. Participants in the “special operation” will be exempt from filing tax declaration, not having to explain their incomes. Further, they are explicitly allowed to take home any “gifts” they have got from occupied areas, without limitations.

An excellent thread and article from ISW, @TheStudyofWar, analyzing Russia's claim that sending air defense missiles to Ukraine represents an "escalation"
RT @TheStudyofWar: The Kremlin is framing the US transfer of Patriot air defense systems and trainers to #Ukraine as an escalation in US-Russia relations, despite the fact that the transfer is if anything less escalatory than previous Western military shipments to Ukraine...

Rest in peace, noble heroine.
RT @Gerashchenko_en: Vlada Chernykh, PhD student of National Pharmaceutical Academy, died at the frontlines under enemy shelling yesterday.
Vlada volunteered to go to war as a combat medic.
We keep losing our best people.
Eternal memory and deepest condolences to Vlada's loved ones.
