Why Russia’s Secret Foreign Policy Annex Matters: There is no longer a question of whether there will once again be a line between Russia and the West—only where that line will be drawn and how formidable a barrier it will present. nationalinterest.org/feature/why-ru… @TheNatlInterest
I believe, more than ever, Trump CAN be made to self-destruct. He needs to be chided, insulted, and laughed at. Mocked. His ability to let things go, has always been nil. His threshold for humiliation now, is lower than it's ever been. He's narcissistically battered, seriously…
Weird. In 2009, Kavanaugh wrote a law review article specifically contemplating criminal prosecutions for Presidents after they leave office, and noting that this possibility provides a check on a “bad-behaving or law-breaking” President. I guess he just changed his mind for some…
Also it’s pretty alarming that no one resigned upon hearing that to tell the American people. And that was when the adults were the room. Imagine what will happen next time…

that Trump repeatedly floated executing people while he was in office is especially terrifying in the context of his current push for total presidential immunity.

@IlvesToomas @err_ee This qualifies as an attack on NATO territory. A strong response is necessary on Russian assets or territory as inaction will embolden further provocations.
China is happy with Hungary's foreign minister, who denies what everyone knows to be true about Beijing's trading practices. The Hungarian presidency of the EU promises to be a real treat for everyone! But then, Mr Szijjarto is also a recipient of Russia's Order of Friendship

Make no mistake, this is part of the war that Russia is waging against Ukraine. Hoping to deter drone attacks against its own territory, Russia is also hurting our infrastructure and ultimately hoping to damage our resolve to support Ukraine. Obviously it will never suceed. 4/5
Here's a picture of GPS disruptions in the region yesterday, 26 April. According to the Estonian Ministry of Climate (@KeitKasemets), this is not only disrupting air travel, but also shipping and even weather forecasting. 3/5
This is my beautiful home town Tartu in Estonia. GPS jamming in the region by Russia has now gotten so bad that Tartu airport has not been able to receive flights for the last two days. Hybrid warfare against Estonia - a NATO member for 20 years - is getting worse. 1/5

Dog-killing, is a horrible analogy for gov’t service or politics. People aren’t to be put down “like a dog” (one of Trump’s favorite phrases). And willingness to shoot a happy dog is not really transferable to politics. But I think she thinks Trump doesn’t see it that way. 6/6
When Smirnov changed his story in June 2020 to include a reference to Kolomoisky "front" Pozharskyi, it was, I believe, the first time P had been introduced explicitly as part of the Burisma information operation. Plus, by June 2020, K knew he was being investigated by the FBI.

Karol Szymański, M.D., served as the Head of the Warta mental hospital from 1925 to the outbreak of WW2, when he was drafted and sent to help defend Poland against the German and Soviet invasion. The Soviets took him prisoner and murdered in the #KatynMassacre #OTD in 1940.

Indeed. Probably because imperialism was missing from the conceptual framing. Everything was framed exclusively in terms of interethnic conflict, civil war, and minority rights for Ru-speakers. Imo, the minority rights frame was particularly misguided and is due for re-assessment
It really is incredible how the West, especially the U.S., did absolutely nothing to try to beat back Russian imperialism in the early 1990s. Nothing when Moscow carved up Moldova. Nothing when Moscow intervened in Georgia. Nothing when Moscow invaded Chechnya. Nothing.
I really would like one of these justices to ask how you’re supposed to impeach the president for a coup if he has rounded up the house and Senate and suspended the legislature.
