It's so typically russian to screw over your own small domestic investors and default on them first.
‼️ Russia: “"You asked for default? Here you go!" The Ministry of Finance did not transfer the promised money for co-financing savings”

At the Bolshoi, Valery Gergiev ended performance with an image of a Russian soldier: “In Feb 2022, the Russian Army came to the aid of the people of Donbas, who spent 8 yrs suffering for freedom. Luhansk region has rejoined Russia forever.”
On 27 July, Italy will welcome Gergiev.

German spy chief: Russia no longer believes NATO's collective defense works and plans to test Article 5.
Bruno Kahl says Germany's Intelligence Service has concrete evidence that Moscow wants to see whether the alliance will actually defend its member countries if attacked.

1/ A Russian army captain whose commander ordered him to be tied to a tree so that the Ukrainians would kill him says that he is now being sent to his death on the front line. He accuses his senior officers of stealing volunteer aid sent to the 24th Motorised Rifle Regiment. ⬇️

Photo of Mark Rutte celebrating NordStream2. Mark Rutte was PM when MH17 was shot down by Russia in 2014. Dutch friends of mine organized a meeting in Kyiv to honor the victims. We met in Podil near the Dutch Embassy. Rutte prohibited diplomats from attending our vigil. It could provoke Russia.

People think I’m joking when I keep saying I would abolish YA literature. No.
You people need to be tied down and forced to read Homer, Shakespeare, and Dante until you’re ready to engage in democratic civic life as well ordered citizens.

one thing i am genuinely convinced of (and my most conservative take) is that we need to bring classical education back
Nobody talks like this anymore.

Trump is going to get f*cked in the ass by Grandfather and he'll return as the obedient little bottom he actually is.
Up his raw-dogged ass he'll return with:
A) Nothing.
B) An unworkable 'deal' that'll be rejected by Ukraine no matter Trump's threats of pulling the plug on military assistance.

⚡️U.S. President Donald Trump said that he wanted to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin as soon as possible to end the war in Ukraine, Reuters reported on Jan. 23.
“It’s a carnage,” he said. “And we really have to stop that war.”

Do read one of the few minds in Europe who understands the gravity of our current situation.
Once again I am leaving the Munich Security Conference in a low mood. Amongst all the noise, the US signalled their plans for Europe, so things are becoming clearer. But things are clearly not good.
This is what we now know, and what we have to do about it:🧵1/17
