Am I fucking insane or are people seriously not seeing the sequencing here?
Europe spent days front-running the narrative that Russia may escalate against Europe. Does anyone actually remember this???
Putin then VERY conspicuously said “Russia has no aggressive intentions toward Europe.”
Barely ~48 hours later Ukraine launched the largest drone attack Moscow has ever seen, on the final day of Russia’s election, hit its refinery and civilians died.
Everyone is pre-positioning the blame for whatever comes next right in front of us, and people are just consuming each headline individually.
@RachelMoiselle "He now knows who his true friends are" isn't clarity, it's survivorship bias with a halo on it. A circle filtered by who'd stay through anything isn't integrity. And the man with the arena isn't the one being silenced here.
@AntSpeaks Imagine crying "fascism" because a radio station stopped playing Shape of You. Ed's still on Spotify. Eurovision's still on YouTube. Five countries pulled out, not just Ireland. You're not being oppressed, you're just being told no.
@poiginigreine 1930s Germany was a state persecuting a minority it had dehumanised. Irish people are objecting to civilians being bombed. If you want the 1930s parallel, look at who's calling their opponents a "psychosis."
@JakeAlex92 Let's play a game. I'll list what Britain did to enable Germany between 1933 and 1939: the 1935 Naval Agreement, Munich, handing Czech gold to the Reichsbank etc. You list what Ireland did to help Nazi Germany
THIS IS NUCLEAR 🚨🇮🇱
Netanyahu JUST announced Israel will REVOKE citizenship from Israelis who expose IDF crimes abroad.
He cited the leaked video of IDF soldiers caught r*ping Palestinians with dogs and the latest documentary of IDF whistleblowers exposing crimes in Gaza.

@BellaWallerstei Respect to your grandfather. But "my relative was brave" isn't a moral credential you inherit, and it doesn't make you the arbiter of what counts as a real stand.
