It’s just the weirdest thing to have been forced to read and re-read Clausewitz over the years and to then read this kind of stuff from the leader of Germany of all places. It’s like hearing the Greek prime minister wonder aloud what a ‘republic’ is. https://t.co/UBkjW9gVVw

I am perilously close to arguing that Kyiv and Berlin swap places. EU and NATO membership for Ukraine, a return to Russian occupation for Germany, whose political leadership would likely breathe a Freudian sigh of relief that the charade has finally come to an end. https://t.co/2mzv33uQiG

War and Procedure

It's not the Russian regulars who are bearing the main burden of war in Eastern Ukraine. It is the troops of pro-Russian puppet states Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic. Just now 105th and 107th regiments of the DPR refused to fight pic.twitter.com/TeUKFuUWtO

The Azov group are NOT neo

The Azov group are NOT neo-nazis according to Tablet Magazine which describes itself as a "hub of Jewish life" (and do note this is labeled "news" not an op-ed)

An excellent piece by my dear friend Vladislav Davidzon @VladDavidzon : https://t.co/yrebMbzKny (A side note: recently, I had to watch some British anti-Semitic propaganda, according to which those were Azov's pro-Israeli sympathies that actually "proved" they were neo-Nazis!)

Finland leaders announce decision to apply for NATO membership

Finnish President Sauli Niinistö and Prime Minister Sanna Marin announced on Thursday their intention to submit an application to join the NATO military alliance "without delay". Russia, which shares an 810 mile border with Finland, classified the country's decision as a threat. Sweden is expected to decide if it is also applying for membership in the coming days.

Update: Russia has warned it would have to take “military-technical” steps in response to Finland joining Nato, after leaders in Helsinki backed entering the US-led alliance https://t.co/EX9odyVR6M

The attempts to whitewash

The attempts to whitewash Turkey’s reputation in Washington DC is based on spin over Ankara’s role in #Ukraine - spin that ignores Erdogan’s effective fence sitting.
