Great thread and blog from @AnnwieAnna
RT @AnnwieAnna: Why is the West not providing quicker, bolder support to #Ukraine?
4 fears are holding the West back:
✅fear of escalation
✅fear of having Ukraine in the European family
✅fear of a defeated Russia
✅fear of a defeated Ukraine.
My take on #MSC2023:

When people as supremely smart and knowledgeable as Timothy Garton Ash @fromTGA in the @spectator and @EliotACohen in @ForeignAffairs on the same day stress the need to be bold and speed up assistance to Ukraine, perhaps it's time to listen.

Pole paha idee. Üldse mitte.
RT @saintjavelin: In the German city of Gera, a far-right group decided to take go for a parade in support of putin's invasion of Ukraine. The locals decided to turn it into a circus performance, having set up the appropriate musical accompaniment for them.

Hilarious but typical.
RT @flamuchz: Russian bots used auto translate to spam about Nato on "Finnish" accounts. But they confused Save (to rescue) with Save (to download). So now social media is filled with these accounts explaining how Nato won't download Finland. I'm fucking dying KEKW

Ukraine needs a Marshall Plan. Russia seems to be doing rather well with its own Morgenthau Plan.
RT @DrLeoStrauss: 1. West priority must be post-war #Ukraine.
2. One Russian history constant: small Moscow and Piter minorities seek to use West to galvanize change in Russia.
Anti-Putin sentiment not enough. Can “Opposition” show non-imperial 🇷🇺 democracy has wide, organic, bottom up support?

Fantastic reporting, great insights
RT @HenryJFoy: “He has three advisers,” Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said of president Vladimir Putin. “Ivan the Terrible. Peter the Great. And Catherine the Great.”
A phenomenal piece of reporting by @maxseddon @ChristopherJM @felschwartz

“He has three advisers,” Lavrov replied, according to the oligarch. “Ivan the Terrible. Peter the Great. And Catherine the Great.” https://www.ft.com/content/80002564-33e8-48fb-b734-44810afb7a49

Brilliant thread from professor @KuldkeppMart
RT @KuldkeppMart: A thread about the last 12 months 🧶
On 25 February 2022, I wrote that Russia’s war against Ukraine, which it had massively escalated just the day before, cannot but end badly for Russia. Looking back at the year that has passed since then, I stand by this judgement. (1/23)
