The main arguments made against intervention in Syria to protect Syrians from Assad in 2013 were: 1 - Regime change will lead to a million dead and a 10 year civil war. 2 - It will lead to a wider global conflict between the west and Iran & Russia. 3 - Assad may be replaced by an Islamist.

Trump calling Zelensky a dictator, claiming he has a 4% approval rating is pure nonsense. Here's what research by leading Ukrainian and Western academics shows. Read the press release and share widely! @oonuch.bsky.social @gwendolynsasse.bsky.social www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/t...

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce how the Elon Musk’s Election Interference Machine™ (EIM) works. Since Musk and his broligarch allies won the presidency for Trump, they’ve now harnessed the machine to interfere in European elections, including the ones in Germany and Romania. 1/23

By bowing down to Putin's demands on Ukraine, Donald Trump is not projecting strength, he's projecting weakness. He is not bringing peace, he rewards and emboldens Putin to be more aggressive. Sacrificing Ukraine won't make America great again. It will make the world less safe

If they reject democracy as a Western concept, it would make sense to reject all other Western things as well: printing press, cinema, computers & Internet, etc.

Trump on campaign: - “We can no longer afford to be the world’s policeman.” - “We are not nation-building again.” - “We will end foreign entanglements.” Trump Now: - “We will take Gaza and own it”. krassencast.com/p/trumps-hyp...

Trump should obviously be impeached. Either he has lost control, or he is using his power to do obviously illegal things. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

I’ve been searching for a word that combined the 2 main maga themes, which are grabbing as much money as possible while inflicting maximum pain. Maybe “Klepto-Sadist?” Suggestions???

Being a dictatorship and a puppet state of russia, we should kick Hungary out of the EU and impose sanctions against it until they have a democratically elected government.

I left a negative review for the Citi mobile app on Google Play Store (after a negative experience.) Minutes later, Citi responded, asking me to email them or tag them on X so they could help. 1. X? Really? No thanks—come to BlueSky.

1/ Every dollar you donate to Ukraine isn’t just money—it’s a weapon. It’s a drone to save lives or a tourniquet that means someone gets to stay alive. Every fundraiser is a way to fight back, and it’s more vital than ever. 🧵

OTD in 2023 we killed 41 people by bombing an apartment building in Dnipro. You didn't care what we did in Grozny in the 90s, and you don't seem to care we do to Ukraine today.

Murdering people on any other day is fine, just don't do it on Christmas. But it's ok, because the world is closely watching BOTH sides. I guess we should be thankful the world isn't watching victims closer than it watches aggressors. Or is it?

What a failure by media. The State Dept Global Engagement Center responsible for countering disinformation shut down on Monday and barely any news on this. This was the doing of Republicans who capitalize off of Russian disinformation operations
