What if sanctions are not closing doors but opening new ones for Beijing?

GIS expert Stefan Hedlund @Sarimner shows how Kyrgyzstan’s growing dependence on China and its role in rerouting goods to Russia may signal the rise of an opaque trading architecture built to withstand Western pressure.

BREAKING: Republican Senator Thom Tillis CLAPS BACK at Lindsey Graham’s disgraceful comment that nobody gives a shit about who owns Greenland. Tillis says the 55,000 Indigenous people of Greenland give a shit about who owns Greenland. He’s spot on.

🇫🇮🇷🇺 Did efforts to deter Finland from NATO membership ultimately backfire for Moscow?
GIS expert Stefan Hedlund @Sarimner argues that Finland has become the alliance’s strongest fortress on the northern flank. This report challenges assumptions about deterrence and credibility and outlines how the Nordic country is able to punch above its weight.

@NAFOvoyager I am deeply ashamed that we in the EU are not doing more to help.

The most suppressed account on this platform is the candidate that is about to unseat Russian-backed kleptocrat Victor Orban.

Although polling 12 points above Putin's puppet party, on this platform Magyar needs your follows.

Neville Chamberlain, Munich 1938, Anschluss, Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia. The pre-WW2 references are really coming fast and thick in Brussels today as Europe calibrates its response on Greenland. The sense of history in the making is palpable

Historieböckerna kommer att fråga sig hur det var möjligt för europeiska regeringar att betrakta tragedin i Ukraina utan att ingripa, skriver Stefan Hedlund, (@Sarimner) professor emeritus i öststatsforskning.

A German politician openly states: Germany, all of Europe, is betraying Ukraine - and will thereby harm itself.

I am a Canadian medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

For 13 months, I served as a nurse.

I gave injections, wrapped knees, bandaged wounds, cleaned blood, steadied shaking hands. I did the work that needed to be done, every day, without complaint.

Today, I am a combat medic.

I love Ukraine deeply. I love its people, their resilience, their humor in the darkest moments, their refusal to kneel.

I love a nation that has been attacked, bombed, and terrorized and still chooses dignity, courage, and life.

I hate russia for what it has done here.

I hate its lies, its cruelty, its complete disregard for human life.

I hate that it invades, destroys, and then pretends to be the victim.

There is nothing noble in this war from their side: only violence and theft.

Ukraine is not asking for power.
Ukraine is not asking for revenge.
Ukraine is asking for freedom.

The freedom to live.
The freedom to exist.
The freedom to raise children without air raid sirens.

That is all Ukrainians have ever wanted.

I am proud, so profoundly proud, to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

To stand with a country fighting not just for itself, but for the idea that borders matter, truth matters, and freedom is worth defending.

Ukraine will be free.
And I will stand here as long as it takes.

Millions of people in Ukraine are facing darkness and cold. From now on, they will have 16 hours a day without electricity. Large parts of power generation infrastructure have been damaged or destroyed, as has a fifth of heating capacity. Europe has let Russia have its way. 1/3

Rysk ”befrielse”. Här kyrkan i Kostiantynivka i östra Ukraina. Den ryska förstörelsen av Ukrainas kulturarv är så monstruös att bara det borde räcka för att avsluta alla diplomatiska kontakter med Ryssland och kasta ut all rysk ambassadpersonal ur EU.

[Tomi 🇺🇦🇫🇮🇪🇺 @TallbarFIN]

Merkel is perhaps one of the most destructive leaders in recent European history.

It was she who blocked the NATO membership action plan for Ukraine and Georgia.

What followed, were russian wars of aggression, first against Georgia and then against Ukraine.

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

She did so much wrong.

[Stefan Hedlund @Sarimner]

@jurgen_nauditt Indeed … and unspeakably disgusting 🤢

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

The EU will not stop russian oil and gas imports until 2028, reports Reuters.

Since February 24, 2022, the EU has been financing putin's war of aggression – indirectly, cowardly, but unequivocally. Every ton of russian oil, every cubic meter of gas, is blood money for drones, missiles, and atrocities in Bucha and Mariupol.

[Sir William Browder KCMG @Billbrowder]

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel says Poland and the Baltic states are responsible for Putin's war in Ukraine!?! WTF!

No wonder Germany had such a disastrous Russia policy under her leadership. Good riddance. https://t.co/xYjarr0f5O

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

First, she visits Viktor Orbán in Hungary to promote her autobiography. Then, she blames Poland and the Baltic states for the war in Ukraine.

I know it’s a tough competition with people like Gerhard Schröder, but is Angela Merkel the worst chancellor in Germany’s history?

[Stefan Hedlund @Sarimner]

@P_Kallioniemi YES!

@RasmusJarlov Tak Danmark!
