Mooi draadje weer van Kamil Galeev

Russian chat shows always had the “NATO shill guest” who said relatively sensible things and could then be torn down by the others. But Boris Nadezhdin here speaking some dangerous truths, you wonder if he might simply get arrested soon.

Regarding mobilisation, Putin can declare it, indeed. But it will be a risky decision. The USSR maintained a massive infrastructure for the total mobilisation which has been mostly dismantled in post-Soviet Russia. Mobilisation is more likely to trigger political chaos short🧵

On one of the Dutch TV shows, #Putin was trolled and offered to organize a referendum on #Russia's accession to the #Netherlands.

🤡Patriarch Kirill urged not to be afraid of death amid mobilization "Go bravely to fulfill your military duty.And remember that if you die for your country, you will be with God in his kingdom, glory and eternal life" Maybe Kirill will refuse an armored Mercedes and security?

I think it is wrong for media to use word referendum when describing what russia is doing on occupied territories. There should be another concept or word that don’t have legitimizing connotation.

Pretending that people vote for their own genocide is not a "referendum." It is an obscenity. snyder.substack.com/p/russias-obsc…

I think Kremlin may view nuclear strike on Ukraine (with an American retaliatory strike) as a rational move. It may not make much sense in the context of foreign policy, but it does in the context of domestic policy. Meanwhile foreign policy is just domestic policy by other means

Very happy to see my article on the front page of Foreign Affairs, a world’s leading foreign policy publication. In this article I analyze how Ukraine will win and why the global community should plan for nothing else than unequivocal victory. Link: foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/ukrain…

Heel goed initiatief de #kruiwagenmars. Iedereen die #netflix heeft zou #kisstheground eens moeten bekijken.

Russland zeigt sich offen für Verhandlungen – doch sei Putin nicht an einer Verhandlungslösung sei Putin interessiert, so Margarete Klein Expertin für russische Militärpolitik. Interesse gebe es nur „an Verhandlungen zur Kapitulation der Ukraine“ ➡️kurz.zdf.de/6g3n/ SWP Berlin

An enlightening must-read by an insider from MFA Russia 🇷🇺 who could no longer take its lies and incompetence. But the last paragraph calling on the West once again to be a social welfare agency to save Russia is a dismal fail Sorry, Ukraine comes first. foreignaffairs.com/russian-federa…

Heel goed.... Ook #twitter birds moeten aan habitatrichtlijnen voldoen. theguardian.com/business/live/…
