23 August carries two opposite lessons for Europe.
In 1939, Hitler and Stalin divided nations into spheres of influence. Baltic States’ freedom was treated as a bargaining chip.
In 1989, the Baltic peoples answered with the Baltic Way: two million people, one unbroken line from Tallinn to Riga, to Vilnius, and a clear refusal to accept occupation as destiny.
History is not a museum exhibit. Russia still thinks borders, nations and freedom can be negotiated over the heads of those concerned. They cannot. We must prove, decisively and permanently, that they cannot.

@vonderleyen@ZelenskyyUa@POTUS No, Ursula, Putin shouldn't be coming to any tables. He should be hung on the tree like a rabid dog. No one is going to take Europe seriously while you keep picturing a mass murderer as a legitimate part of the international discourse.
They have rolled out a red carpet for war criminal Putin. A man who is responsible for the murder of millions. This didn’t have to happen, but America is now rewarding genocide with ceremonies. Absolutely fucked
Time to bust some myths that haunt Europe.
Seizing frozen Russian assets is not a “declaration of war”. It won’t “destroy Europe”.
It's about justice - making the aggressor pay for the devastation it caused. Let’s get it done.

Absolutely horrible and sleepless night in Kyiv. One of the worst so far.
Hundreds of Russian drones and ballistic missiles rained down on the Ukrainian capital.
Right after Putin spoke with President Trump. And he does it on purpose.
Enough of waiting! Putin clearly shows his complete disregard for the United States and everyone who has called for an end to the war.
Moscow must be slapped with the toughest sanctions without delay. Ukraine must be provided with all necessary means to defend itself.
Wrong decisions can only encourage the aggressor to escalate terror. Every criminal regime in the world is now watching closely Putin’s actions and responses to them. If he gets away with all of this, everyone will get a very clear message.
Stop waiting for peace. Act to achieve peace. Peace through strength.
The smoke over Kyiv is temporary, the resilience of its people is permanent.
russia is failing - so they are trying to terrorise Ukraine into submission with missiles and drones. It’s not going to work.
Kyiv’s skyline right now after Trump and Putin’s love call today.
Trump promised to “end the war in 24 hours” — a promise he repeated hundreds of times and which many believed when they voted for him. But he betrayed them.

6/ It is now painfully clear: Trump’s goal is not peace, but Ukraine’s destruction and capitulation. In practice, he is aiding russia’s genocide against Ukraine.
Instead of ending the war in 24 hours, Trump is ending Ukraine.
Morning in Kyiv. No sleep. Air quality is extremely bad. City is covered in thick smoke.
This is Russian terror, aimed at people who chose to stay, resist and fight.
Every night, russia targets Ukrainian homes, forcing Ukrainians to run for shelter in the middle of the night, hiding in basements, hallways or subway stations. It is a deliberate campaign to exhaust an entire nation through terror. Let's not allow this:

@lailakaasik @agrisvolkovs @normundsbergs@P_Kallioniemi Oh, you name it! Latvija pirmajā vietā, Stabilitātei!, and Saskaņa. The Progresīvie definitely are Kremlin buddies - they looove their rus language and soviet 'legacy', can’t get enough of it. The government under Jaunā Vienotība allows ru transit and business to continue.
Russia’s recent school textbooks rewrite the invasion of Ukraine as a “peacekeeping” mission and blame the West. Historical revisionism aimed at shaping the next generation’s view of history. #DontBeDeceived

In today’s Wumao Soup, I’ll introduce how and where the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) online propaganda and influence operations work. Due to China’s massive population and advances in AI, CCP-aligned online content has become increasingly visible.
