@johnnyjmils @SjonSjon81 Good that you acknowledge, if only tacitly, that the people of the Donbas are Ukrainians.

@johnnyjmils The Enlightenment's rays were quite dim by the time they reached Russia.

@tbcdpod @TheFP @hpmcd1 Whatever else one might say about these people, FP staff have at least a modest understanding of Israel, whereas Candice and Tucker know laughably little about Russia.

@Simply_Shula The ROC uses the Russian government to suppress rival Christian denominations, maintaining a monopoly with attendant power, wealth, and corruption.

@TMSTRS_ @EliStrawmaning Russia is restraining itself now same as it did in Afghanistan, same as the US did in Vietnam. Sure, superpowers could go nuclear, but they don't for good reasons--even if it means a humiliating defeat. If this war were in Russia's interests, they'd sacrifice more, but it's not.

@TMSTRS_ @EliStrawmaning Ukraine, like Finland in the 1939 Winter war, is doing quite an admirable job defending itself, but Ukraine is relatively much bigger, and has far more powerful allies. You seem to be unaware of the war’s recent turn. Google burning+Russian+things.

@Q0MT6pFmbVqynsM Petrostates shouldn’t start wars.

@NOwl86 @DanielLDavis1 Oh no, then those burning Russia videos might traumatize them.😢

The Ilsky refinery in the Krasnodar region, Russia, was struck last night. This footage shows the moment of one impact.

@DanielLDavis1 If videos of explosions in Kyiv makes you sick, maybe videos of explosions in Russia will cheer you up:

Overnight, our warriors applied Ukraine’s long-range sanctions against an oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov – about 700 kilometers from the frontline. An important result. Thank you! There were also strikes in the Rostov and Kirov regions, as well as at a military base on the Caspian Sea coast.

Our Defense Forces of Ukraine are carrying out long-range missions in line with the approved priorities of the plan for such sanctions. This week, targets were also reached in the Yaroslavl, Ryazan, Voronezh, Volgograd, Rostov, Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod and Krasnodar regions at distances ranging from 300 to 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, our intelligence agencies – thank you!

@HauschultenSeb @OTregub @clashreport Nah, Mearsheimer, like many white Westerners, thinks he gets points for blaming his own side, oblivious the arrogance of his Americentrism.
It's funny that neither Mearsheimer nor Sachs speaks a foreign language, but they pontificate about the desires of foreign societies.

[Rainbow Pimpernel @psitako]

@OTregub @clashreport Looking at how Russia treats its own soldiers, who in their right mind would want to become a part of it?

[Rainbow Pimpernel @psitako]

@clashreport Ukrainians will fight to the death of the last occupier. Fortunately, there is light at the end of that tunnel.

@petersavodnik It is indeed the same story--why is she repeating Tucker Carlson's absurd pilgrimage?

@VerverkS @charlesmurray Ridiculous. The FDA, for example.

@AlexanderV7051 @leonidragozin I personally know people affected by Ukraine’s kinetic sanctions, but if an X account created last month says there aren’t any, I guess I’ll have to believe him.

Russia’s own media, both state and bloggers, acknowledge the strikes on the energy industry. Please troll better.
