"it is important that Russia be seen to lose....it is time to show the forced that want to defeat freedom a lesson"
@paulkrugman
"We are where we are because of Europe's decision over the years to become dependent of Russian natural gas....Do you really think that Western Europe would become an impoverished region if it did not have Russian gas?" @paulkrugman at the Kyiv School or Economics fund-raiser.
Thanks Mayor Adams @NYCMayor for coming to the @kse Ukranian Independence War fundraiser. Wonderful words of support for Ukraine.
Congratulations! Well done, looking forward to it tomorrow!
RT @krispamparo: Menos debates estériles, menos chorradas. Si un profe se topa a un alumno que en 1ESO luchó como un jabato a pesar de las cartas que le tocó en la vida y le dijo que quería hacer algo de ciencia cuando fuera mayor...
RT @jfjimenoserrano: Enormemente orgulloso como andaluz de que el primer doctorado honoris causa concedido a @manolo_arellano sea por la @UNIAuniversidad. Enormemente merecido. Otras universidades deberían tomar nota.
RT @LionHirth: A question to those who believe a gas price cap wouldn't change demand: What do you think caused this?
Political savings targets? Sunday speeches? Non-existent rationing policies?
We really have just one single mechanism in place to reduce gas consumption: the price. That's it.
Is this a sustainable competitive advantage? Will everyone copy? In how much time? Will regulation (cycling authorities) clamp down on the innovation?
RT @ValaAfshar: This is a cyclist using his knowledge of physics and aerodynamics to gain a competitive advantage
Michael Guerra unclips from his pedals, lies down on the seat and stretches out his legs to achieve ultimate aerodynamic efficiency.
Buena decisión del @europarl_es estableciendo que Hungría ya no es una democracia plena, y extreyendo las consecuencias: ni un Euro de los fondos de recuperación.
RT @europarl_en: Hungary can no longer be considered a full democracy, say Parliament members. They also call on the EU to withhold recovery funds until the country complies with EU recommendations and court rulings. Find out more: https://eptwitter.eu/q8H8
"The West should help Putin fail faster"
That is the message, @TheEconomist
Europe should understand there is only one path towards a shorter war: providing significant help to Ukraine.
RT @COdendahl: “Vladimir Putin’s war is failing. The West should help it fail faster”
Our leader on #Ukraine and what to do now. https://www.economist.com/leaders/2022/09/15/vladimir-putins-war-is-failing-the-west-should-help-it-fail-faster https:/…
RT @lapatina_: Finally. The messaging we deserve
@stephenwertheim Maybe we should wait until we impose those significant sanctions? EU has sent €80bn for oil and gas, more than in the past. The sanctions have been announced, but not imposed- worst of all worlds (price went up).
And deter the invasion ... before they were announced??
@BleiLennart The interview is published and linked:

US general's put down of a German General is devastating and, worse, accurate.
RT @general_ben: Stunningly poor analysis of Russian capabilities that unfortunately reflects much of the German “elite” thinking.
Finland alone would crush Russian forces. Lithuania/Poland would smother Kaliningrad in a week. Russian Navy hiding behind Crimea even though Ukraine has no Navy.

The position of the Chancellor blocking tank deliveries is untenable. He is prolonging the war and causing untold suffering in Ukraine. His coalition partners @fdp @c_lindner must make him change it. https://www.kyivpost.com/russias-war/scholz-blocks-supply-of-tanks-for-ukraine.html
@ben_golub Not standard leader staff. A bomb, a missile, a sharpshooter ... He is close to the frontline, Russians would love to kill him.
RT @TheProgressives: If we calculate the price of the war in Euros, Ukrainians are calculating it in human lives.
The place of Ukraine is in the EU.
🗨️@MarinSanna in #EPlenary
RT @HannoLustig: Broken moral compass alert. The left in Europe often seems more concerned with protecting the purchasing power of Moscovites than the fate of Ukrainians whose country has been invaded. Bizarre.
RT @COdendahl: "Translated from US diplo-speak: love you, Berlin, but please, please grow a pair and stop pretending we’re telling you what to do." https://www.ft.com/content/fa1102b0-9511-4230-814a-725b7bcd5881
