Ten reasons to protect wolves 🐺 #RelistWolves

This is the BBC's director of editorial policy. It suggests a catastrophic breakdown in basic editorial judgement, grounded in a failure to recognise the notion of objective truth. theguardian.com/media/2022/jan…

Was reclassifying Taiwan as a "province of China" requisite for this partnership, Moleskine?

I’ve been banging on about the infiltration and undermining of UK politics by Russian money for more than a decade. Will the government investigate? Will it take action? Will it admit the damage being done? Of course not. But why not?

"Russia and China are determined to consume Ukraine and Taiwan[...] Great-power war has become entirely imaginable because of the reduced emphasis on thermonuclear bombs in an era of hypersonic missiles, automated weapons systems, and information warfare." wsj.com/articles/russi…

Another humanitarian aid division from Russians Without Borders on the move.

We are amidst the greatest security crisis in Europe since the Cuban Missile crisis in 1962. Of I/Os, the UN and CoE have been utterly irrelevant, a feeble attempt was made with the OSCE, and the EU's main contribution has been to whine about being ignored by Russia, US & NATO.

An Englishman who thought Lviv was near Chornobyl explained Ukraine to me yesterday. Meanwhile, my friend in Kyiv is shopping for a sapper shovel in case she has to dig herself out of a bomb shelter. Can't help but feel that this is a curious summary of my 8 years in London.

For years, scientists have believed that the earth revolves around the sun. Meet the Substack maverick who’s challenging the groupthink.

Just don’t tell her please that tougher sanctions would be too expensive for Europe!

Breaking: Before being shot, Boris Nemtsov was tailed by same FSB squad linked to Alexey Navalny, Vladimir Kara-Murza poisonings. bellingcat.com/news/2022/03/2…

Boris Nemtsov was being followed by a Russian agent connected to the Navalny poisoning in the weeks/months before his death. Important new investigation from the BBC World Service together with Bellingcat

THREAD from Bucha. We met Mykola. He and his wife spent a month living in the cellar of his apartment building. When the Russians arrived, they killed all the men below 50. He’s 53. He told us this shaking with the trauma of it. They gave him 20 minutes to bury his friends.

Russophiles in Bulgaria. True inspiration for a future Orwell.

The Kremlin can't even get their story straight. The initial announcement of "blood clot" was changed to "sudden death syndrome". Then changed to "unknown" and body sent to a "repeat expertise". Just a reminder that the "repeat expertise" guys in Russia are also the poisoners.

Two Putin opponents. Two dreamers of a different Russia. Two ultimate victims of the brutal and vindictive state repression apparatus they dared to challenge #Nemtsov #Navalny
