More nonsense.
The overwhelming majority “ON TWITTER” are trolls, which is why NAFO even started took off.
It never would have done so were it not for the industrial level pollution on twitter from Russia.
People just got sick of Russian trolls.
No need for this “advice”

Overwhelming majority of Russians ON TWITTER are anti-war activists, and it is critically important to understand why.

Perhaps a Swede can clarify a bit of Cold War history my father told me when I was a kid.
In front of the Opera in Stockholm stands a statue of Karl XII, the king who unfortunately lost the battle of Poltava, consigning the Baltic countries, incl. Finland to Russian rule.

Re Karl's statue has his arm pointing East. Sometime in the 1960s the Soviet embassy apparently demanded the statue be turned in another direction since Karl pointing East was aggressive, if not "revanchist".
Can anyone enlighten me on this episode?

Next summer we need to organize a NATO-Hansa regatta, with stops at all major Baltic Sea NATO ports.
Königsberg will have sit it out for a little while longer.

314 years to the day after losing the Battle of Poltava, which ultimately gave the Eastern littoral of the Baltic Sea to Russia, Sweden recoups its losses and the Baltic Sea is once again a sea of peace and security.
Välkommen till NATO.

One of these days Russia will realize Vladimir Putin is the worst thing ever to happen to it and the best thing for all whom Russians pathologically envy and hate.

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?
