I think now is a good time to recommend this little gem of a book I read a few years ago:
The Authoritarians, by Bob Altemeyer.
Available for free at theauthoritarians.org

I'd be happy to hear the opinions of more informed readers.

TL;DR: Russia has decided that the UK is Russia's enemy, and there's nothing we can do to change that as long as Putin is in power. The choice is whether to be an undefeated enemy or a defeated one. That's all the choice we get.

and the "Russian world" as a living space that must expand offer no chance of a peaceful compromise.

- I would expect only one thing from Europeans: understanding of this. Everything else must follow from this understanding - that this war is not just another regional conflict...

- Europeans, like Americans, largely fail to understand the existence of fascism in Russia, largely due to Russian propaganda and their own traumas after World War II. The cult of Putin, the complete fusion of media, politics, and the security services, aggression toward neighbors, chauvinism,

For those of you in the UK, especially if you are a UK citizen, can you please take part in the consultation on changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement) that were just proposed by the UK government. We need as many people as possible to reject these proposals. www.gov.uk/government/c...
Earned settlement
The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

Is Russia violating YOUR airspace? ‼️

Try this solution today!

Shoot down the plane. Let Dmitry Medvedev rant about it until he passes out from drinking too much nail polish again. Go out to dinner.

We are moving along the steps of 🇷🇺 guilt admission:
1. "No proof these drones were russian"
2. "It wasn't intentional"
Next:
3. "🇵🇱 deserved it anyway"

Sink the Baltic fleet, take Kaliningrad and then claim it was an accident due to Ukrainian EW interference.
It probably is incompetence, but we should sink a Russian frigate anyway to send a message.

Europe had a choice: it could fight for a seat at the US-Russia table and thereby create agency for itself and Ukraine, or it could create another table entirely. Europe has consistently chosen the former. Hence, here we are.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.

Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?

Or just the brown people?

How do ordinary people help us reach our fundraising goals faster?
Last year, supporters like you stepped up to help with five of our projects -not just by donating but also by launching their own mini-fundraisers to speed things up.

Starmer's language was deplorable.

It was grotesquely offensive, accusing people who have brought their gifts to this country of doing "incalculable" "damage"; & politically foolish, in endorsing Farage's claims of an establishment conspiracy.

But bad analogies with Powell miss the key problem. 🧵

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe.

But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

Ukraine doesn’t need America to win the war. Ukraine needs Europe to realize together we can win the war without America, assume responsibility, and make it happen.

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

This is bonkers, of course, but the point on threat to Europe does deserve clarification. Every time I present my book on Russia's centuries-long obsession with controlling Ukraine, there would be someone in the audience, often a Balt or a Pole, who would ask: So it is just about Ukraine only, then?
Witkoff on Ukraine: "There's a view within the country of Russia that these are Russian territories, that there are referendums within these territories that justify these actions ... I just don't see that [Putin] wants to take all of Europe ... I take him as his word."

Calling fentanyl a „weapon of mass destruction“ serves 2 purposes: 1) laying the groundwork to justify military operations against Canada and Mexico 2) strip language from any meaning and create an unreality where words are being used to justify every horror this administration inflicts
SCOOP—Trump plans to issue an executive order designating fentanyl as a "Weapon of Mass Destruction," per copy of EO reviewed by me. Source at State speculates purpose is to designate cartels as terrorist orgs/justify military ops in Mexico/Canada.
