Reupping this terrific satellite work that shows 🇷🇺 right bank meeting points, crossing points and reception areas on the left bank that the Russians have been using since early November. 🇺🇦min of Defense estimates 40K Russians still need to cross

1/12 Since the announced withdrawal of 🇷🇺forces, it is time to have an in-depth look into how they want to get their troops & equipment across the river.During the past months have setup an elaborate system of ferry's crossing the Dnipro river. At least 8 ferry's have been active

Europe needs a *European* Franco-German motor, not this mutually adoring pas-de-deux of French dirigisme and German mercantilism that treats the rest of Europe, but especially CEE members either as "American puppets" or "Russophobes in the way of our profits".

@jholbo1 It’s so embarrassing that Gorsuch thinks this is such a gotcha.

[ClearingTheFog @clearing_fog]

Joe Lieberman pushed out one of the last liberal Republicans by running to the *right* of him.

The tail end of the party realignment.

RIP Lowell Weicker.

No comment on Lieberman.

@KevinRothrock It’s the same background that Alekseev (GRU) made his video appeal a few minutes later. And Alekseev was certainly not in prison a few hours later when he was one of the two leaders Prigozhin met with at Rostov HQ

To all of the people who made it happen…the thousands of employees over the last 30 years and the hundreds of thousands of guests who have joined us at @jaleo.. we couldn’t do this without you. From the bottom of my heart, gracias por todo.

@HelloMrBond The map of Wagner influence operations on the left is taken from a 2021 study by Marlene Laruelle & Kevin Limonier. It tracks digital metadata that suggest ownership connections among orgs/websites. Wagner is only 1 piece & out of date

Looking for everything from the last week all in one place? 🧐

@HelloMrBond has you covered. #Prigozhin #Russia #Sources

@KevinRothrock The controlled withdrawal from the right bank of Kherson was the single impressively executed Russian operation of the war to date. Just fit very poorly with the timing of the ridiculous annexation announcement. If that was Surovikin’s doing, Ukraine will be happy to see his back

Apparently an extremely popular fiasco that is revitalizing the community

[Dan Davies @dsquareddigest]

if you talk to normies about this sort of thing, their usual view is that taking over a company, then making that company take on debt to make a dividend payment to yourself either should be illegal or (more usually ime) that it already is

"If they reach an agreement, or even a de facto cease-fire, expect all parties to declare 'victory' for what they have achieved at this point" is the new Tell Me You Know Nothing About 2023 Ukraine Without Telling Me You Know Nothing About 2023 Ukraine

GOP still in love with those manly Russian army ads

[Patrick Ruffini @PatrickRuffini]

Interesting curiosity of web vs. phone interviewing is that the latter shows a bigger performance spread between different Republican candidates.

[New Yorker in DC @NYkrinDC]

Indeed. Additionally, imagine what would happen if the US sends troops, or starts occupying Mexican cities? Who do you think will rise up against us? The cartels with all their money and weapons, and we will make them patriotic heroes in Mexico. It would be a catastrophe.

Focus group study of Russians in Samara region:

Compare and contrast cognitive reactions and coping mechanisms of pro and anti-SMO 🇷🇺 citizens.

Interesting - 4 different focus groups. With methodological reminder/caveat focus groups are not valid for statistical extrapolation.

@DrLeoStrauss Shared adaptation - even further depoliticization.

@djkomisar @mjs_DC Yep. In fantasy originalist land the right to own a gun is a Constitutionally guaranteed right whereas the right to vote is only a privilege which the government can withdraw

[Ulrich Speck @ulrichspeck]

Yet the problem is that Putin's rule is destabilising Russia, more than anything else.
