@RSaleh87767@Noahpinion I am very sympathetic to the opinion that US has brought lots of damage to the Middle East, but to say that the origin of every conflict in the Middle East is US is such a brain-dead take that it betrays zero understanding of anything
@bluejeanlogic@krassenstein@bluejeanlogic when was the last time you've been at a party & how many guns did you bring to make sure that nobody insults the Great Orange?
Very evocative event on Paolo Iashvili with some of #Georgia top writers, poets, publishers happening right now, in Sololaki. A good country should celebrate its artists, not hound them.

๐ฌ๐ชHuman Rights Watch @hrw just published its Georgia report. It is devastating for the illegitimate Georgian Dream anti-EU government. Georgian Dream is dismantling independent civil society through law, prosecution and financial strangulation.

As a political economist, I do think that a weak Russia, torn by multiple competing factions, with nuclear warheads under contested control is less - repeat, less - dangerous than the Putin's Russia with nuclear warheads under the tight control of irresponsible, short-sighted dictator. The danger of "Russia's uncontrolled break up" is a myth; it's a manageable risk. The danger of Putin continuing its war against Ukraine and Europe is an acute danger. The focus must be on defeating the Putin's regime; what comes next is important, but not nearly as important as stopping the war - that is, defeating the Putin's regime.
