@NavyLookout @NATO_MARCOM @SNMCMG1 @HMS_Str_Castle @HMSHurworth Sir, you used a wrong flag next to LNS Jotvingis. Should be 🇱🇹

[Regina Bauer 🇪🇪🇺🇦 @petite_michelle]

Russia is hauling Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to the International Court of Justice. The charge? "Discrimination against Russian-speaking minorities." Tallinn has dismissed the move as part of Russia's disinformation campaign, and Latvia and Lithuania said the same.
Let that sit for a second.
The same state that spent 50 years trying to erase us now wants to stand in The Hague as the defender of minority rights. A short history lesson for the court:
▪️ June 1941: ~10,000 Estonians packed into cattle cars and deported to Siberia. Mostly women, children, the elderly.
▪️ March 1949, Operation Priboi: ~20,000 more from Estonia in a single week. ~90,000 across the three Baltic states. The offense was owning a farm, teaching the wrong subject, having the wrong surname.
▪️ Decades of Russification: our language pushed out of public life, Russian speakers moved in by the hundreds of thousands to outnumber the people who'd lived here for centuries.
▪️ A flag you could be jailed for owning. An anthem you could be arrested for singing. A border you'd be shot for crossing.
And here's the part Moscow is praying the judges don't notice: the "Russian-speaking minority" it now claims to protect exists in those numbers precisely because the USSR deported the locals and shipped in Russians to replace them. The minority is the evidence of the crime. Now it's the pretext for the next one.
So no — we're not discriminating. We're just inconveniently still here. Still speaking the languages you spent half a century trying to bury.
And we remember exactly how it went. 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹

I'm sure that this is interesting, but I just flinch at the "post-Soviet" category. The USSR collapsed 35 years ago. It ruled eastern Europe for 45 years. At what point does the label fade? We don't talk about "post-Nazi" for countries that were occupied by the Third Reich, or "Post-Hapsburg".

A country that beheads enemy soldiers has no place in the Olympics.

A country that rapes and tortures civilians and POWs has no place in the Olympics.

A country that bombs children’s hospitals, then strikes again when medics arrive, has no place in the Olympics.

A country that uses chemical weapons and banned munitions has no place in the Olympics.

A country whose troops drag POWs to death and shoot surrendering soldiers on camera has no place in the Olympics.

A country that is led by an individual wanted for child abductions and war crimes has no place in the Olympics.

A country that employs the Wagner Group, and is responsible for every massacre they commit, has no place in the Olympics.

Russia has no place in the Olympics.
Not under a flag.
Not under “neutrality.”
Not as individuals.
In 2022, 88% of Russia’s Olympic medals were won by soldiers. That’s not sport. That’s military propaganda.

If you see this, RT and like. Let the IOC hear us. Let the world hear us. Let justice be louder than silence. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Soviet deportations were brutal, the pain that these innocent children went through is something from a horror movies...😞

Prophetic words from an intelligent man.

Why can’t USA and Europe learn?????

NAFO, if there was ever something you should share, it's these words spoken by Jessica Berlin @berlin_bridge of which have never left me because they ring so true.

''Russia needs to lose and lose badly, Russia need to crawl out of Ukraine on their knees, begging for mercy''

New York Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi @Tom_Suozzi:

"If we reward Putin now, what do you think the people in Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Estonia, Poland are gonna say? If he [Putin] goes through Ukraine, he's going straight into Poland. We cannot reward Putin for his criminal actions, where there are murdering people, raping people, kidnapping children. There are tens of thousands of children that have been abducted from Ukraine and brought into Russia. He's a beast, he's an animal, he's a dictator. We cannot let this become normalized."

GeoConfirmed UKR - Misinformation by President Trump.

While we typically refrain from political commentary, President Donald Trump's recent statement regarding the war in Ukraine is so egregious that we feel compelled to respond.

Several claims made by President Trump have already been debunked. We've included responses from Grok AI for each claim, demonstrating that even Grok refutes the misinformation spread by the president.

In this thread, we will provide geolocated footage as a reminder to everyone that Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, marking the beginning of this war.

1)

The United States has not spent $350 billion on this war, nor has it outspent Europe by $200 billion. In fact, European contributions have surpassed those of the US. Moreover, a significant portion of the American military aid (around 90% !) is spend in the US, reinvesting in the US economy.

President Zelensky did not claim that half the American money sent to Ukraine is "missing". He stated that half of the promised funds had not been received, which is a crucial distinction.

Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections during wartime, a measure designed to protect the democratic process from foreign interference, particularly given Russia's known capabilities in this area...

President Zelensky is not a dictator, as evidenced by Ukraine's constitutional framework and his commitment to holding elections once hostilities cease. In contrast, it's worth noting that President Putin consistently wins elections in Russia with implausibly high percentages of votes, with opposition that 'falls out of windows", is poisened or jailed, raising questions about the true nature of Russia's electoral process.

President Zelensky has a approval rate above 50% and not 4%. 4% is Russian disinformation.

There was no NATO expansion to the East, as NATO itself cannot expand. Instead, democratic countries independently decide whether they want to become members of the alliance. The process of joining NATO is voluntary and involves multiple steps, including meeting specific requirements and completing a formal application process.

The fact that many of Russia's former neighbors have chosen to seek NATO membership speaks volumes about their perception of Russia and their desire for collective security.

The decision of these nations to pursue NATO membership reflects their sovereign right to determine their own foreign policy and security arrangements. It also indicates a preference for the stability and security guarantees that NATO membership offers, rather than remaining under Russian influence.

Regarding the famous 'promise':
Article 103 of the UN Charter establishes a clear hierarchy in international law. It states that obligations under the UN Charter prevail over obligations under any other international agreement in case of conflict. This supremacy extends beyond just treaties, as it is generally understood to also apply to customary international law.
The hierarchy can be summarized as follows:

1) UN Charter obligations
2) Other treaties and customary international law
3) Non-treaty international texts
4) Political promises or commitments
5) Historical claims

Russia's invasion of Ukraine clearly violates fundamental principles of the UN Charter, including the prohibition on the use of force against the territorial integrity of another state. Any attempts to justify this action based on lower-ranking considerations like political promises or historical claims are legally irrelevant.

Who initiated this nearly three-year-long war? RUSSIA.

As a platform that has analyzed over 50,000 frames/videos related to the conflict, we will remind the president ,with geolocated footage, who started this war: RUSSIA.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, despite repeatedly denying any plans for invasion in the preceding days.
