If you are a Russian oligarch, you should consider getting rid of Putin before he "suicides" you
RT @ianbremmer: for those keeping track at home, 12 “threw himself from window/shot himself 7 times in the head” russian oligarch deaths this year so far
10 year old delivers most damming (and accurate) comment on NFT.
RT @paulg: "I'm going to print it out on paper, to make it extra non-fungible."

@VfS_econ @UniBasel @R2Rsquared @LSEEcon Well deserved! We are all learning a lot from you @R2Rsquared !
Aparte de un misil ruso, está rodeado de docenas de personas que lo podrían matar. ¿Alguien imagina a Putin poníendose en una situación así?
El lider que el mundo, no ya Ucrania, necesitaba en este momento para defender la paz y la libertad.
What luck the world (and not just Urkaine) in being led by @ZelenskyyUa.
His courage in visiting the frontline is not just physicial (a shell, a bullet) but also moral (he is exposed to first hand criticism, anger etc. from troops) as @WarintheFuture explains.
RT @WarintheFuture: An updated thread on the wartime #leadership demonstrated by @ZelenskyyUa – with a focus on visiting troops in the field, particularly in the wake of t…
If you are teaching an Intro to Econ and want to explain to students what economics is about, what economists do, you can hardly do better than to introduce them to the work of the profession on Ukraine. This eBook summarizes a lot of it. #EconTwitter

Please listen and share! We cannot condemn what happened in Bucha without doing all we can to avoid the next Buchas, taking place today.
Europe must help Ukrainians to defend themselves against these atrocities.

RT @JuliaDavisNews: "Are We The Baddies?" moment on Russian TV: one pundit—responding to his genocidal colleagues, who assert that Ukrainian nationality and language do not exist—suddenly realizes he is in the company of actual Nazis and says, "This is clear cut nationalism."
RT @Mortis_Banned: Dear Tankies,
If you believe the war in Ukraine is waged in the interests of NATO military industrial complex, then why not one Western-made tank, infantry fighting vehicle, fighter jet or ballistic missile has been supplied to Ukraine, despite Ukraine's repeated demands?
The limits of AI: my Kindle has never, not once, suggested a book I was even remotely interested in.
Efectivamente,pocos logros en la vida pueden llegar al nivel de liberar el pueblo de tu madre. Precioso.
RT @jabuttee: that's all great but did you ever liberate your own mama's village
Even with very generous assumptions the US is in a huge fiscal hole. This thread does the accounting. With democrats in "whatever it takes" mode, and no republican in tax cutting modeit is hard to imagine a politician closing that hole.
RT @HannoLustig: 📣The secular decline in rates may not have boosted U.S. fiscal capacity as much as you think, but it definitely has exposed the U.S. Treasury to more interest rate risk. 🧵

Ukraine needs around €40bn in support in 2023. The UE and US must start making space on their budgets to help. This is a life or death struggle for a peaceful future for Europe.
RT @Mylovanov: The government requires and expects international support in the amount of 30-50 bln next year. Furthermore, the budget expenditures are very transparent - 85% are military, salaries, and social support. No room for waste or corruption.
@RolfSchuttenh @PhillipsPOBrien You need to do Northern Spain! Amazing Romanesque there!
I agree. @PhillipsPOBrien has been among the top 5 people to follow on this war. Consistently well informed and fact-based, giving always great context and analysis and consistently right!
RT @jasonintrator: I have been following @PhillipsPOBrien for months as his twitter feed has been just amazing on the Ukraine War. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/09/ukraine-russia-putin-kharkiv-kupyansk/671407/
RT @chemadepablo: (2/5) La STC 108/1986 estableció que el actual sistema de elección de vocales del CGPJ era constitucional, PERO siempre y cuándo el legislativo eligiese los vocales atendiendo a criterios DIFERENTES de la división de fuerzas existente en las cámaras.
Bravo! For once, a clear, firm and unambiguous message from Scholtz to Putin.
Now from words to action: die Leoparden, Bitte!
RT @Bundeskanzler: 90 Minuten Telefonat mit #Putin: Russland muss seine Truppen aus der #Ukraine zurückziehen und die Souveränität und territoriale Integrität anerkennen. Anders ist eine diplomatische Lösung nicht vorstellbar.
