February 27, 20223 yr @1497583706038484996 Just in case anyone forgot about Belarus… they have a new president (in exile) and are forming a transitional council. This miscalculation is gonna end up with Belarus as a free, democratic state on a path to NATO and EU. Putin losing the ability to keep his puppets in power That would be amazing outcome. Haven't read much news from Belarus are people protesting there?
February 27, 20223 yr Merkels Foreign policy with Russia has just been absolutely savagely destroyed in one single speech by Scholz @1497886259745804296 Doubling of Defense spending, 100bn in special project funding, mass pivot from Russian gas. Germany is finally trying to make moves to reconcile its past vs it’s position in the world where it is a major economy that should be a leader and global power instead of hiding behind the horrific legacy of its past
February 27, 20223 yr Did they which side? I'm sure there's small but noticeable minority from the UK who are instead routing for Putin.
February 27, 20223 yr Did they which side? I'm sure there's small but noticeable minority from the UK who are instead routing for Putin. Obviously the government are only going to support those going to fight for Ukraine... it was in the context of the Ukranian request for foreigners to join the International Territorial Defence of Ukraine Legion. It's important because in most wars it's illegal for Brits to travel and fight for a foreign country, i.e - for both sides in ISIS. Although I can't imagine at the moment there'll be hoardes of young Brits flying to Ukraine to sign up, if this war escalates that statement of support might become important.
February 27, 20223 yr Oh I knew that officially. I was making the wry point (not very clear) that we have enabled Putin with London being a base for Russia's dirty financial laundering and many on the right wing have praised Putin despite being an evil, genocidal homophobic dictator

February 27, 20223 yr I really hope we're witnessing the beginning of the end for the evil b*stards Putin and Lukashenko.
February 27, 20223 yr Looks like he's threatening nukes because he's not getting his way, such small dick energy.
February 27, 20223 yr New set of EU sanctions closes airspace to Russians. All their jets registered or not. RT and any other state owned media company of Russia are banned from the EU entirely. And sanctions on Belarus just got ratcheted up a whole lot more. Not bad for a Sunday
February 27, 20223 yr Author Looks like he's threatening nukes because he's not getting his way, such small dick energy. Literal quote from one of the protest signs in Berlin that I've seen today. :lol:
February 27, 20223 yr I'm honestly f***ing terrified about everything that is going on, especially with the threatening of nukes. I'm so so scared and I KNOW that is selfish and I do honestly feel for the people of Ukraine who are actually living through it right now - I can only imagine how difficult that is I can't focus or think straight, I really hope I'm just being dramatic to be honest!

Also quite anxious tbh. I'd rather not die in a nuclear strike or get any of the fallout. (watch this be darkly ironic in hindsight if it happens)
February 27, 20223 yr They’re risking a long prison sentence and vicious abuse by the police to do that. Brave people. More of it, and more sanctions and the more likely Russia will have some form of regime change as oligarchs get spooked and have Putin removed
February 27, 20223 yr @https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/1498023555975450626? Holy f***.... https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/1498023555975450626? Edited February 27, 20223 yr by Chartfridays
February 27, 20223 yr If Putin nukes anywhere it will be Ukraine, if he nukes anywhere else he has just instigated World War 3. Except, I am not even sure the two allies who he is banking on (China/India) would support him if he did that. He's clearly a big fan of the Cold War era, but I do think Putin would actually use a nuclear bomb as a last resort, but can't see him using one on a NATO state. Either way, I think he's shocked at how the West has rallied against him.
