Yes, Russia is not wealthy, but it is aggressive, angry, and heavily armed. Europe, by contrast, is wealthy but largely disarmed.
Draw your own conclusions.
@terrelljstarr I have the impression tho I cd be very out of date that the Russians don't attack a stronghold of nationalism traditionally like Lviv, but are far more aggressive against areas with Russian-speakers, socialist party voters, Russian TV watchers, etc. like Mariupol who side with UA
I’ve been in Lviv for six days. Been told all of these wonderful things about this place. What I love best about Lviv is the fact I can sleep in peace.
My dispatch on why sleep is Lviv’s best feature.

New: The contents of a hacked computer belonging to John Mark Dougin, an American ex-cop living in Russia, offer documentary evidence that he worked with the FSB and GRU to peddle disinformation. He liaised with GRU Unit 29155 the originator of the Ukraine biolabs hoax, and his "moment of triumph came in June 2026, when information from his investigation was endorsed by @TulsiGabbard, who was serving as director of national intelligence in the Trump administration." https://t.co/yUTo5ZAEq7
John Mark Dougan, former US Marine, current Russian intelligence operative. 👇
He was just hacked, revealing all the Americans he was working with to destroy the US.

Экс-президент Украины сравнил украинцев с 300 спартанцами и заявил, что россияне за последние 300 лет ни одного дня не знали, что такое свобода.
He makes so much sense!
The American people have shown they reject DSA and Justice Dems overall.
They have done everything in their power to distract from Democrats huge wins and celebrations.
I hope pundits and people in Democratic Party leadership as well as in Congress get this also and stop giving them attention.
Stop giving them leadership roles.
@EYakoby If, for example you have to step back 200 ft from the Russian Mission to the UN and stand down the block at the Sakharov/Bonner corner to demonstrate against the war in Ukraine, why do these protesters get to be right smack up on the building?
Cindy Hyde-Smith finally concedes to Senator-Elect @scott_colom. This would have been a fine speech… six days ago. Her refusal to concede cost him orientation and time to lobby for slots on the best committees (@chuckschumer@SenSchumer better give him those anyway).
If we let the DSA take over the DNC, expect the exact same fate MAGA is having now.
Expect us to lose several senate seats and house seats. Expect us to lose our majorities by massive numbers.
That’s what happens when you let your radical flank control your party.
This what the @MTA and New York tolerate. Get these people to a shelter. NYC is falling and people pay $3 to go on the train— probably overpaying. @NYCMayor@NYGovPress
Michigan's junior senator-elect announces he'll be enrolling in the Bernie Sanders School of Performing Arts and not trying to pass legislation for which support actually exists.
Greta Thunberg is told her visit to Germany is symbolic because there is an ongoing demonstration in Berlin by Fridays for Future, a Green religion rite she inaugurated in 2018. She laughs contemptuously and asks: "Really? They're still doing that?"
