I am off Twitter. Enough is enough. Musk ruined it. Letting Russian & Chinese propaganda trolls to the platform did it for me. If you too want out be careful not to give up your handle as bots and others will take it over and you will soon be advocating for Ukrainian genocide.

You can vote Elon Musk off the island. You can do it on his account. You have 10 more hours to vote.

Coincidence? I don’t think so…

[Akos Rona-Tas @AkosRT]

Viktor Orbán in his less than generous victory speech singled out two people, who according to him tried but failed to derail his electoral win. George Soros and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

[Akos Rona-Tas @AkosRT]

Hungary reelected Viktor Orban and voted in a new, Nazi party into Parliament. This is Orban's 5th term. At what point do we say that voters are responsible for their kleptocratic autocracy and amoral collective egotism?

1/2 I praise the approval by the #UN GA with an unprecedented majority of votes of the resolution with a strong demand to Russia to immediately stop the treacherous attack on 🇺🇦. I’m grateful to everyone & every state that voted in favor. You have chosen the right side of history

[Akos Rona-Tas @AkosRT]

@Prof_Kennedy Yes. Orban showed them the way.

[Michael D. Kennedy @Prof_Kennedy]

Remarkable how knowledge networks mobilize. https://t.co/ctPCIbm4BN I agree that Hungary is a key site for contest. Ht @akosrt

1) The fate of #Ukraine is being decided tonight, but also the fate of the west. Declare a #NoFlyZone over Ukraine at the invitation of their sovereign govt. Disrupt Russias air ops to give the heroic Ukrainians a fair fight. It’s now, or later.

4. Do you see in any way that this kind of argument legitimates rather than just describes neutrally those "security interests"?

[Akos Rona-Tas @AkosRT]

I am a bit tired of those who fault the West for disregarding Russia's "legitimate security interests." I have four questions to them:
1. Do they REALLY think that NATO or anyone would attack a dictatorship with Russia's nuclear arsenal? (Think North Korea.)
2. If we accept that

[Akos Rona-Tas @AkosRT]

there are such legitimate security interests, why stop at Russia? How about China? India? Iran? Ukraine?
3. Did Nazi Germany have legitimate security interests? In other words, do we accept the legitimacy of ANY regime just because it exists? Even if it is an evil dictatorship?
