1/14 On manipulating history🧵. One of the key narrative points of pro-russian and pro-communist propaganda usually is this: "All opposed to Russia and not sharing their world view are nazis". This is of course a lie, but they use some cherry-picked facts to "back this up":

@RussiasPivot Go back to ruzzia then 😜

@YLatynina You pronounced this nonsense. Not me.

The peacemongers have failed.
Escalation was not managed, conflicts were not contained, people were not protected, laws were not respected. Now I hear victory is "unrealistic" and not even worth fighting for. But I see things very differently, and here's why. 👇🧵1/10

The fact Ukraine's second largest city with a population of 1.4 MILLION has become a testing ground for russia's new rocket systems is sick 🤬

No mainstream media will even cover the 4 residential buildings eradicated, Ukrainians murdered in their sleep once more.

I cannot understand why people are surprised or shocked by Zelensky's nuclear weapon statement. Ukraine's desire to acquire a nuclear deterrent is a logical conclusion given the current state of the war and Western policy towards it.

In fact, I would encourage the acquisition of a Ukrainian nuclear deterrent. It's the obvious solution to Ukraine's most pressing problems. The main issues are the technical, political, and military obstacles that make this pursuit extremely challenging.

Anyone who somehow still thinks Russia can be trusted to keep their word should see this photo of nine Ukrainian POWs. In Kursk region, Russian forces captured, disarmed, stripped, and then executed them. They know the Geneva Convention but break it just because they can

[Linas Linkevicius @LinkeviciusL]

Someone should take moral and political responsibility for the broken security guarantees given to #Ukraine in 1994 Budapest Memorandum. A serious argument for removing all harmful "red lines". If not directly engaged, let them fight the aggressor with all their might.

[Fabian Hoffmann @FRHoffmann1]

The West's conduct is an absolute clown show at all levels.

Instead of mobilizing our industries, rearming, and defending the world order that has ensured our peace and prosperity for decades, we try to appease a Russian dictator and "escalation manage" ourselves out of Ukraine.

Meanwhile, we watch Iran arm terrorist groups in the Middle East that threaten one of our most crucial trade routes without intervening.

What on earth is happening?

[Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 @GLandsbergis]

If all NATO members followed Lithuania and increased defence spending to at least 3% of GDP, there would be an extra $270bn available for supporting Ukraine and defending NATO's borders. I hear this is politically "impossible", but here's how Lithuania did it: 🧵1/12

This thank you video to #Sweden for their 405M€ military aid package to Ukraine has everything your morning needs: Roxette, CV90s, a dancing cow, root vegetable-based idioms... Tack Sverige 🇸🇪🇺🇦😎

Why are the words “leaked Kremlin documents” and “by @wikileaks” never in the same sentence?

WTF!?! I just learned that in eastern Slovakia, there is a village called Smilno where the mayor has started a fundraiser for ruSSians with an unbelievable justification, talking about Bandera and so on.

Let's bonk this fundraiser with 1 cent donation so that the fees kills it. I've already donated.

Village account number:
SK78 0200 0000 0050 2431 6758
Link to the village's website in the comments.

We just returned from a frontline trip where we delivered around $100K in equipment to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

My plan for today? Process all the papers.

Transparency is hard work, but it pays off.

“Strong condemnation” does zero to stop these attacks. Egyptians needed this grain. Russia will continue these attacks until we do something meaningful.

@HertzBarry She worked for years in the Russian propaganda aparatus. Are you daft???

[Michael MacKay @mhmck]

Canadians do not want to confront the reality of Russian soldiers who castrate Ukrainian prisoners-of-war and rape children as young as two years old.

Canadians want to be comforted by the illusion of Russian soldiers who are traumatized victims of a war that "just happened."
