Makes sense. Russia is a Noah Ark for fallen dictators.

Russia is always not as strong as it pretends. Nuclear peacocking included. But it is not to be taken lightly and underestimated.

The new generation of troopers is being raised by Russian mothers right now. Will be ready to fill the sacrifice quota when this or next Leader calls.

Unsurprised to see "good" liberal Russians, Latynina and others whose names I didn't bother noting, sneering sarcastically at Romania. Ridiculous. Coming from people with no experience of democracy.

Same Russians criticise Ukraine too, for being not democratic enough. Crazy.

A people pleaser is an angry person inside. Trying to be nice to everyone takes lots of unprocessed aggression. Lots.

Pax Romania.

South Korea today reminds me of Prigozhin's march on Moscow in 2023.

Saw people reposting this picture. Couldn't help myself too. Grumpy Scholz, who looks like he is planning to steal Christmas and stash it in his silver suitcase. Smiling Zelenskyy, who looks as sleep-deprived as the entire Ukraine feels.

Russians always do what they are allowed to do. There are no rules.

While I sympathise on a personal level, because having a troubled child pains the parents' heart, I don't understand Biden's decision.

It is one more symptom that democracies are in deep crisis. Call it an institutional crisis? A crisis of values? I don't care. It needs to be addressed. Urgently.

I'd like to expand on my recent thought that "peace" with Russia, or better put frozen conflict, will be a prelude to a bloodier war in a year or two. This next war with Russia will spiral over and devastate Ukraine further.

🧵

Note that Russians are getting wiped out, pushed back and nobody is screaming hysterically "stop! let Russia win or it will be world war III!"

It is never about world war III in Ukraine too. Russia can suck it up. And will suck it up. Filthy, cruel, despicable. It must get what it deserves.

Turkey has interests in Georgia. Was pushed back by Russia in Georgia. So Turkey retaliates in Syria while the window of opportunity is right.

Anyway.

Russian cruelty stripped me of unnecessary stipulations. Anyone fighting Russians is a decent entity in my eyes.

Russians that I sometimes interact with on social media often act offended. Claiming everyone is Russophobic. But I keep saying, with conviction born from digesting Russia’s news for many years, that no one on earth mocks Russians as bad as their own leadership does.

Shall we take a look? 🧵

Might be a joke, if you know your European capitals.

My mother's friends went on a tour of Hungary last weekend. Came back ecstatic. Said how much they loved Bucharest.

Another massive missile attack launched by Russia has just finished. Russians will stop at no means to destroy Ukraine's energy infrastructure. With hopes to plunge us into cold and darkness.

Coming December 14, Georgia's next president will be most likely chosen by the pro-Russian ruling party. His name is already known. It's ex-footballer Kavelashvili.

If you, like me, are asking yourself what happened in Romania during Presidential elections, and want to know the why and how, I started listening to political analysts in Ukraine.

The electoral sociology data in the US, now in Romania, apparently does not show the picture 🧵
