My friend Tarmo @Niinepuu has written his debut novel, and it promises to be a major success. Imagine living your last day over and over as in Groundhog Day, but the story is told from different people’s points of view, à la Quantum Leap.

Kapitalismi võlud

Awesome bit of data that makes intuitive sense.

“Finland cut VAT on haircuts in 2007 to see if cheaper prices would boost demand and jobs. But when the tax fell by €4, many salons lowered prices by only €2 and kept the rest as profit. When VAT rose again, prices jumped by the full €4, turning a temporary tax cut into a permanent price hike. It’s tax incidence in action: firms with pricing power pass on cuts partly, and hikes fully.”

@tashlutsa2 Absolutely. I think the same about the Ukrainians that were killed in a front of this Russian occupation war. In fact about all of the ones they have done. Plus, I keep thinking about the legalised doping use programs they have.

[Tarmo Niinepuu @Niinepuu]

This is epic fail from Wikipedia side, as they don't want to deal with this.

[Ella Ke @EllaTravelsLove]

If you’ve been following me for a while, this story won't surprise you, but it should absolutely alarm you.

Estonians are waking up to find their entire history being systematically erased and replaced with pro-Kremlin propaganda on Wikipedia. We are talking about a massive, industrial-scale information war.

The Russian playbook is in full swing.
The birthplaces of hundreds of prominent Estonians have been changed from "Estonia" to "Soviet Union".

Detailed historical records of Soviet repressions, mass arrests, and executions have been scrubbed clean. Even the Estonian War of Independence is being redefined.

Instead of a heroic struggle for self-determination, it is being framed as "separatism" by "aggressive" Estonians against Russia.

But here is the kicker: when Estonian volunteers tried to restore the truth, they were the ones banned. Senior editors have locked these pro-Kremlin distortions in place, turning lies into "protected facts."

This sounds familiar because it is the exact same strategy being used against Israel. Pro-Palestinian editors are aggressively scrubbing the documented, continuous history of the Jewish people. Critical entries like "Zionism" and the "Gaza War" are flooded with disinformation, while any attempt to bring back factual reality is met with immediate bans.

Wikipedia, much like the UN, "human rights" organizations and some sectors of the academia, has been hijacked.
It has become a tool for the anti-Western axis to sow chaos, fuel division, and manufacture a fake consensus.

When "truth" is decided by the most aggressive editor rather than historical record, the democratic world is in serious trouble.

@ahdebee That is a good way to counter your opinion! They also develop you as a person.

Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime and every US oligarch is now to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products.🧵

[Tarmo Niinepuu @Niinepuu]

But this time it will be totally different, trust us! It is totally not like 523 times before.

[Darth Putin @DarthPutinKGB]

OTD in 1994 Russia signed the Budapest memo, guaranteeing Ukraine's territorial integrity in exchange for their nukes, 44 Ukrainian heavy bombers (Tu-22) and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles.

Which have been fired at Ukraine in this war.

[Tarmo Niinepuu @Niinepuu]

But still there are people who think it is different this time around or their interest will be listened. No, just being played and laughed at.

[GeoInsider @InsiderGeo]

To really understand how Russia thinks today at the negotiation table, we need to go a bit back in time. Enter Andrei Gromyko, the Soviet diplomat known as "Mr. Nyet" he wasn’t just being stubborn he had a method. He literally said about the West that it is "impatient, divided, and always pushing for quick results," and that Moscow could use this to its advantage. His repeated vetoes at the UN weren’t arbitrary they were lessons in pressure, patience, and leverage, Every concession the West offered, he pushed for more, asking relentlessly, step by step, until the other side gave more than they expected.

The idea was simple: the West wants action fast, results yesterday. Moscow doesn’t. Delay, test, observe and let your counterpart expose its divisions. Gromyko built a doctrine around exploiting Western weaknesses: if they push too hard, you stand firm; if they compromise too quickly, you extract more. He saw the West as fragmented and inconsistent, and he treated negotiations as a zero-sum game where time itself is a weapon.

Look at Europe or the U.S. today: divided on everything, arguing internally, chasing short-term optics. Moscow sees the same patterns, and the strategy hasn’t changed much. When Russia negotiates, it’s not about compromise first it’s about waiting, observing, and letting the other side make mistakes.

So, to understand Russian policies now, whether in Europe, the UN, or with global powers, remember Gromyko’s approach: patience over haste, leverage over agreement, and exploiting divisions over rushing deals. The history is old, but the method is very much alive, meanwhile we have too agree nowadays with Gromyko’s views.

@WallStreetMav This has never stopped Mordavia. In fact this assumption is based on a false logic, that Russia did it for Russian speaking population, which was never the case.

[Tarmo Niinepuu @Niinepuu]

@MikaelValterss1 As a regional defence expert, you should know, that this will just help Putin to continue his ways. To start a next war and a next. And why not to do it against a country that he has already weakened and got away with it.
Or move to a next target, be it what ever he likes.
