I’ve moved to blue sky due to the wanton destruction of Twitter.

[Dan @haplessdan]

@sashameetsrus Definitely can’t say that about Russia. No new leader for quarter of a century, and X/Twitter is blocked by the government so no risk of illegal tweets! Very democratic!

[Dan @haplessdan]

@sashameetsrus Is criminalising domestic violence “woke degeneracy”?

[Dan @haplessdan]

@kev_kemmett72 @joeroganhq So you were too stupid to know what you were voting for. Great.

[Dan @haplessdan]

@pierre_1er Plutôt chier dehors alors?

[Dan @haplessdan]

@GeorgeSzamuely Yeah, you’ve got a PhD and everything. Sad that you shill for war criminals.

[Dan @haplessdan]

@PawlowskiMario I think when the West did not really respond to crimea, nor to the use of chemical weapons and other crimes in Syria, Putin thought we wouldn’t react to FSI either. And he was right, we didn’t. Not until Ukraine stepped up and fought like a lion, then we slowly did.

[Dan @haplessdan]

@Euan_MacDonald @sashameetsrus Some think tank, I forget the name, estimated that 16000 Russian women die from domestic violence every year. So glad that Alexandra feels safe

[Dan @haplessdan]

@EvanKirstel @sashameetsrus At least her drink looks ok 🤷‍♀️

[Dan @haplessdan]

@bagshaw2112 No no, at least we have meaningful elections. And people can make fun of our politicians without mysteriously becoming dead. Ordinary Russians would give a lot for that I’ll bet.

[Dan @haplessdan]

@sashameetsrus Oh so now you care about children being killed? Russia have been killing (and stealing) children in Ukraine for 4 1/2 years. And not by accident.

[Dan @haplessdan]

@dlLambo 1. Yes - Russia already started a war in Europe remember?

2. Yes. Russia specialises in sub threshold attacks. Disinformation, election interference, cyber attacks, targeted assassinations and so on; to attack, bully and divide the West without triggering a military reaction.

[Dan @haplessdan]

@Alex_Oloyede2 Does Putin’s daughter still live in London?

[Dan @haplessdan]

@CraigMurrayOrg Oh so you’re now in favour of exercising right of passage in recognised sea lanes? I struggle to keep up since just five years ago you held very different views.

[Dan @haplessdan]

@Zagato61104672 @triffic_stuff_ So if you personally don’t understand something, it can’t be important. Great.

[Dan @haplessdan]

@Parkidem_Sofia Oh so now you care about civilians being killed. Where have you been for the last 4 1/2 years?

[Dan @haplessdan]

@BowesChay Just read the vatnik soup about you. I almost pity you.

[Dan @haplessdan]

@sashameetsrus To be fair, Putin has had a lot more opportunity to practise than most leaders, given that he has been in power for over a quarter of a century. Very diplomatic!

[Dan @haplessdan]

@sashameetsrus It’s so embarrassing when a self styled internet journalist tries to take on the real thing and thinks it’s some sort of gotcha, mistaking his polite honesty for weakness and hidden agenda. Why don’t you engage with some of his excellent reporting on the Kremlin?

[Dan @haplessdan]

@Pascal_Laurent_ The irony is, that we are opposed to the imposition of lists of jobs forbidden to women, and I am against the decriminalisation of domestic violence (both of which the Russian state has done), therefore we support Russian women a lot more than you do.

[Dan @haplessdan]

@sashameetsrus Fun fact: @MSF share the locations of their field hospitals with warring parties in order to prevent accidental targeting. During the recent war in Syria they had to stop doing this because every time they shared the location of a hospital, the Russians bombed it.
