Nagu homofoobidega ikka, neil on ikka mingi alla surutud tung, mis seletab miks selline viha, mis tavalisi inimesi jätab külmaks.
USAs selgus järjekordne homofoob-salagei poliitik.
Millal mõni meie lärmakas homofoob kogemata kukub kapiuksest välja?

Andrew A. Michta: 🧵As #NATOVilniusSummit is about to begin, the lack of consensus on bringing #Ukraine into @NATO is in plain view. Vilnius will be remembered for the new regional plans and other decisions that bring NATO back to its roots, but the political heavy lift is unlikely to happen.1 /5

ChrisO_wiki: 1/ Yevgeny Prigozhin's wealth and wigs got a lot of attention last week, but his medal collection is much more significant. The 30 medals on his jacket show that he is one of the most highly decorated members of the Russian elite. Here's an analysis of what they indicate. ⬇️ https://t.co/2up21Y6vRI

Re Cold War NATO built the defence infrastructure of its members.
When we have a hot war on our borders but NATO hasn't built defense infrastructure for post Cold War NATO, Cold War NATO whines WAAA, the infra isn't as good as what was built for us so we won't go there.
