@vtchakarova One leads to two or worse. Kremlin leaders and Siloviki often further right than Putin. This analysis assumes Xi is willing to keep facing increased inflation while Chinese economy shrinks. This analysis also assumes Azerbaijan and Armenia don't pop off some way to impact.
@orion29737445 @vtchakarova They seem to be better at basketball than playing soldier. When have strategic bombing of cities worked in past conflicts? Which ones?
@caitoz I find history, cultural attitudes, eschatology of crazies, ideas of self of Russia and America to be similar. Can not compare freedom of press, assessmbly, & speech to US or any NATO country to Russia. Nobody gets tossed out windows for supporting Andrzej Duda. No poisons
@PJTatts @claravonlangen You are trying to argue Russian economy is stronger than American. I don't need to try. Now do interest on debt as percentage of GDP.
@PJTatts @claravonlangen Really? Images equal what in terms of GDP? I bet South Korea GDP higher at this point. Putin could have tried to become a stable and growing economy. He chose to try at world power instead
@TimetoactOne @caitoz He is also asking DOD to pay for Sattelites after installation. Not how FAR, DFARS, or OTA works as a contractor. Say no to Twitter and use Defense Production Act if he keeps sticking nose in the international relations negotiations.
@holden people worried about fake info posted online. This is the #disinfo at the Town Dump. One of the few cultural gathering spots in my town. https://t.co/fnARWw3JpC
@ByzantineFoods @HeroicTriarius @IanJaegerNPC @EvaKBartlett @VanessaBeeley @nytimes @Aldo94822596 Enjoy your day too. I just get stuck on the idea if Russia goes home and leaves Ukraine nobody dies. Innocent, RF or UA. Path to peace is that simple. Putin leaves.
@ByzantineFoods @HeroicTriarius @IanJaegerNPC @EvaKBartlett @VanessaBeeley @nytimes I know a bit of the history, Go read the history of what Stalin did in Ukraine or about Kruschev's russification program. The Tatars of Ukraine from Crimea until 1989. Read about the Wagner Group and the atrocities they commit in Ukraine since 2014
@mtracey The lawsuit wasn't because he lied. Lying isn't illegal. When you know you lie in public, that lie causes violence and harm, and you willingly profit from that lie you can be held libel for your speech. How many millions were made in survival food preparing for "civil war?"
@mtracey People have freedom of speech to be an asshole. Doesn't mean you have to choose to be an asshole. People have the right to sue for defamation and harm when that speech targets you Why are you making a 6 year olds funeral about you? Kinda Alex Jones like tactics
@ByzantineFoods @HeroicTriarius @IanJaegerNPC @EvaKBartlett @VanessaBeeley @nytimes I too wish for peace but at what cost? Will you give Putin Crimea? All of Ukraine? Half? What about Moldava? What about the Baltic States? Finland? #Putin will not stop and will continue to try and march across Europe Sometimes peace takes putting power in the proper place
Where does the Wagner Group send their failed Vatnik trolls? Dunno. A post in Canadian Embassy? This is such lazy #disinfo someone should lose their job. (Which is Russian for "thrown out window") https://x.com/RussianEmbassyC/status/1583560093744115713
@OksanaLviv2 Checked out the blog, when you are using Russia Today as Your "Source" for peace news somethign is sus: https://bit.ly/3eRtYGW Listen to the dribble on @naijela071 blog: "Had they all simply listened to President Putin’s speeches, the conflict could have been avoided" #nafo
@ByzantineFoods @HeroicTriarius @IanJaegerNPC @EvaKBartlett @VanessaBeeley @nytimes #NATO is sending #Ukraine Defensive weapons to reclaim territory that #Putin illegally stole since the war began in 2014 with the illegal annexation of Crimea. IRIS-T air defense system from Germany protect against terror attacks and HIMARS from Us and elsewhere hit convoys
@ByzantineFoods @HeroicTriarius @IanJaegerNPC @EvaKBartlett @VanessaBeeley @nytimes Russia traded 64 Su-35 fighters from Russia, about 5 billion US, for cheap, but effective en masse, Shahed-136 drones from Iran. These are raining down terror across Ukraine
@ByzantineFoods @HeroicTriarius @IanJaegerNPC @EvaKBartlett @VanessaBeeley @nytimes Because the RF is getting embarrassed up and down the front and about to lose Kherson City #Putin has unleashed a wave of terror attacks to freeze Ukrainian citizens in the approaching Winter. Constant rocket attacks have left 1,451,603 without heat and electricity
