"Negotiations cannot end the Russian war against Ukraine; they can only pause it. They can only create the conditions from which Putin or a Putinist successor will contemplate renewing the attack on Ukraine’s independence" - a must-read from Fred Kagan criticalthreats.org/analysis/the-c…

One baby is confirmed dead after Russians bombed a maternity hospital last night in Zaporizhia. 70 people are currently involved in rescue operations. Here, a doctor is being rescued from the rubble.

💡I'll have a couple of weeks of free time from Dec. onward. If you hire me, I'll be happy to give away half of the income to an Ukrainian charity of your choice - or comebackalive.in.ua. I'm mostly relevant in architecture/code counseling/auditing. DM me. RT appreciated 👈

On a highway leading from Chechnya to Dagestan there is a traffic light. It is always red. Every day thousands of cars have to drive through this 24/7 red light to pass from one region to another. This isn't a mistake, but a well-organised system. Look at the arc on the right 🧵

OTD in 1939 USSR began to liberate Finland from themseleves in the Winter War. It followed denials, a false flag, a bullshit excuse, us deliberately targeting civilians while we took massive casualties we lied about. Imagine that happening today...

Remove the quotation marks and the "so-called", and there's very little to disagree with here.

Since russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine, every Ukrainian faces many choices, mostly unpleasant. Remember famous "I need ammunition, not a ride" from President Zelenskyy? Last week, a sister of our chairwoman nikomutsei joined Armed Forces of Ukraine as a paramedic.

Since Elon Musk just accused former Twitter CEO @Jack Dorsey of being soft on child sex trafficking, I thought it important to share this article showing that it was Elon who cut Twitter’s child sexual exploitation team.

Elon Musk is deleting accounts that post this video of him being booed for 10 minutes last night at a Dave Chapelle show. He can’t delete us all. Retweet while you still can.

#Twitter suspends #Mastodon’s account and bans links to Mastodon servers techcrunch.com/2022/12/15/elo… It seems "free speech" has a different meaning for Twitter's boss 🤦‍♂️

As a company from eastern Germany, we know that building a wall to try and keep people from leaving isn't a good idea.

Can you imagine if Eastern Europeans talked about the rest of the world using the same clichés, tropes, stereotypes, & propaganda commonly used about them? 🧵…

“As you can see, Ireland is mostly pro-London. The white areas are where the English [speakers] live and where there wouldn’t be resistance to an English invasion.” #parody

“Much of the US voted for the pro-Russian party - including Alaska, which is historically Russian anyway (Tsar Alexander II’s mistake). A referendum on unification with Russia held under occupation would solve America’s political issues.” #parody

“Rather than listen to the people who actually live in countries that gained their independence from Britain, it’s more important we understand the mysterious British soul.” #parody

20/ And providing M1s or Leopards does not ‘escalate’ the conflict. This is an empty argument against providing support to a fellow democracy that has been invaded by a nation with leading edge tanks and long range bombers!

Deze zaterdag sturen we vanuit Amsterdam 8 uitgeruste ex-🇳🇱/🇩🇪 gele ambulances naar het leger van #Oekraïne 🇺🇦(vanaf maart dus 128 in totaal). Ben je journalist en wil je hierover schrijven, laat het ons weten. Of RT voor je vrienden van de media om het te zien. Dank! 🎵💃🧡
