Why russia cannot help but invade?
Been pondering this question for a decade now...
🇷🇺 didn’t “return” to dictatorship under POO-tihn. It never left.
Rusich is crowdsourcing war crimes, Navalnaya is asking 🇪🇺 to fix 🇷🇺 for russians, and I try to make sense of it all

You can’t win a war by ignoring it, simply because you don’t want to participate in it.
I’m sick and tired of being the part who let Russia attacks us with all kinds of hybrid attacks - and now also a steady stream of physical attacks.
We need to fight back.

Must read. Basically, if you’ve fallen for Ru propaganda, the chatbots will dig you in even deeper. Also note this: “Grok provided the highest number of Russian sources even when asked neutral questions, the research found.” Higher than the Chinese chatbot!
‘The researchers believe that the chatbots use Russian sources more often when a topic is considered a data void, a search term that doesn’t have many high-quality results.’
