@GLandsbergis Baltic countries know how useless the EU is in that regard. Do whatever you think is right for the good of Europe, don't rely on false promises of corrupt Russian-paid politicians in the west.
Just read the Budapest Memorandum—six short paragraphs, and Russia has broken every single one. Why would anyone believe Russia will keep any agreement without it being backed by decisive force?
List of "red lines" crossed without nuclear war -
1. Sending air defense
2. Sending Western tanks
3. Sending HIMARS
4. Sending Western long range missiles
5. Sending Western jets
6. Striking Crimea
7. Hitting Kerch bridge
8. Sinking the Black Sea Fleet
9. Cross-border strikes
10. Entering & capturing russian territory
11. Striking moscow
12. Targeting oil + gas facilities
13. Retaking occupied territory in "forever russia" Kherson
And the list keeps growing.
What more will it take to dispel these ludicrous escalation myths in the West?
Strengthening Ukraine weakens russia.
Anything less emboldens russia.
It's that simple. Help Ukraine win.
How I wish NATO would close the sky over Ukraine. Or for an equally strong support that’d make short work of Russia’s whole military machine.
That’d be a so much better world.
But that’s not going to happen, and we’re left looking at a prospect of more wars and nuklear armaments.
Slowly Biden is becoming the most hated man in Ukraine as Russians wipe out whole families only because the US forbids Ukraine from striking Putin's airfields.
Another in Zaporizhia 4 hours ago.
💔Zaporizhzhia. 4 people murdered by today’s russian attack. 33 injured, of them; Two children, aged 1 & 10, were rescued from under the rubble. A 10-month-old little baby is also among the injured. The sound of the crying child in the 2nd video is simply heart wrenching 😭
@IAPonomarenko You need to declare russia the state sponsor of terrorism and start treating connections with them as a crime. It won't fly without such measures, they will just hack European democracies one by one same way they hacked the US. Don't think you are better protected.
Mistaking the 1991 disintegration of the USSR for a genuine abandonment of imperial ambitions by Russia is dangerously shortsighted. And yet, this deeply ahistorical take had become prevalent in Washington and many Western European capitals prior to February 2022. 🧵
Yesterday russians shelled Ukraine more than 5000 times.
5000 f*cking times in ONE day!
Our inaction enables this.
Our countries are allowing russia to keep doing this.
