Knowledge is true belief justified by evidence.
Repeating an unevidenced lie doesn't make it true.

I wanted to do a little thread to talk about some possible side effects of the Russian governments economic policies as time goes on.

Some of these things may seem obvious once I point them out.

Many Trump voters are frustrated by tariffs and the financial losses. For the first time, people are starting to question his policies as they feel the impact on their wallets. Perhaps you should consider that Trump’s approach to Russia and the war has been just as ill-conceived

"Would the US be okay with Canada hosting russian nukes" is a silly question. Ukraine never had any plans to host US nukes. In fact, Ukraine is begging for US nukes and isn't getting them. What would the US do if Canada wanted russian nukes and russia refused to provide them? Nothing.

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President.

I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH.

This is a First Amendment question combined with a practical question. The answer is as follows.

First, the First Amendment protects advocating the moral and practical necessity of breaking the law in the abstract.

Being a lawyer and all, do you know what the tipping point is for it to become acceptable to openly advocate for political assassinations? Just a little curious, is all.

Trump's career is based on betrayal. He signs contracts, then refuses to fulfil his end of the deal. The minerals negotiation doesn't work that way. He needs to help Ukraine defend themselves, *then* he gets minerals from a stable Ukraine.

We shouldn't take anything off the table before the negotiations have even started.

It is clear that any deal behind our backs will not work.
You need the Europeans, you need the Ukrainians.

Keep your messaging simple:

“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

Trump hasn't just pardoned every single J6 criminal. He's also deleted the public record of their indictments.

Not breaking news, but common knowledge: Russia's economy is _really_ fucked and it's all because of Putin's disastrous war.🧵

Hi folks!

And now for @tochnyi.info's (slightly delayed) monthly coverage of the slow-motion crash of Russia's piggy bank, the so-called NWF.

Of course, the decembers numbers were highly expected. Let's see what they reveal.

I spent the morning reading the latest UN OHCHR report on Ukraine. It's particularly harrowing to read about ᵣussian soldiers in occupied territory beating and raping Ukrainians, justified by claiming their Ukrainian victims are the "Nazis".

"Victoria Nuland and Geoffery Pyatt planned regime change" is 100% russian propaganda. 🧵
Late January: Maidan protests began late November after russia forced Yanukovych out of the EU Association Agreement. Yanukovych was looking for a compromise.

Over in The Bad Place I've been trolling suspected bots with absurd images. It's cheap to run a text-only replybot. Much more expensive to equip a bot with deep image interpretation.

Public to ESL tankies: "occupier" has two definitions. It was fine when russian troops _occupied_ Sevastopol Naval Base under the Black Sea Agreement. They became _military occupiers_ on 27 Feb 2014 after violating Ukrainian sovereignty and breaking the Black Sea Fleet treaty.

Tankies never give up, change their minds, or accept better evidence. They always repeat the best argument they have. Repetition, whaddaboutery, new lies, and name-calling are the best arguments they have. It's a sign of their weakness, not yours.

"Joining" russia is a one-way trap. Crimea "joined" russia under an illegal military Anschluss referendum. Separatism is banned. It is only legal to join russia, not leave russia.
