Flipping the narratives - Is Russia with the West or against it? Was Covid a portal to war with Russia as well as ushering in a global health tyranny?

@LMichelleLanier @alexandrosM I agree that we didn’t touch on a number of context factors that are important for interpreting what is taking place in Ukraine right now. I wrote a short post on this a couple of days ago. Includes links to e.g. a piece on the 2014 change of govt https://t.co/x5f1JRMg2a
Some have asked why Moscow is so concerned about Ukraine joining NATO when the Baltic countries that border Russia are already members.
The answer is the Volgograd Gap, a stretch of land between the Black and Caspian seas which is strategically vital to Russia's survival.
News you won't read. On Thursday, Putin reportedly offered peace if Ukraine embraced neutrality and rejected Nato's arms. Ukraine's president Zelensky was elected in 2019 largely by ethnic Russians on a platform to make peace with Russia.
The amount of emotional manipulation occurring right now feels a lot like the early days of covid. We went from virus hysteria to war hysteria.
You are being primed right now for a specific reaction later on and you don’t even realize it’s happening.
Жаркие споры об эмиграции однажды случайно резюмировала ведущая эброада. Её озарило прямо в треде, где уже было всякого навалено: «Это что же... Выходит, если ты богатый, тебе везде комфортно живётся?» На той неделе юношество твиттера трижды открыло для себя классовую структуру.
Always remember about Twitter:
3% of the population use it.
80% of tweets come from 10% of users.
100% of the media use it.
So when you hear that there is "outrage or blacklash", the likelihood is that it's something from Twitter.
And, the majority of the planet doesn't care.
Start with 100 dice, roll all of them, delete all sixes, and repeat. How long until there are no more dice left? How is this related to exponential functions, radioactive decay, and carbon dating? https://t.co/82BoLmbrgP
