OTD in 1940, USSR formally annexed Latvia. Soviets troops had been "invited in" (in accordance with absolutely nothing to do with our treaty with Nazis) & then held "elections" where 99%+ voted to join USSR. None of this should sound familiar to you.
Muscvoy being Muscovy. According to my uncle's biography, When it was officially announced on May 8, 1945, that the war was over, "the Russians gracefully flew over the port of Hel the next morning and apparently dropped the remaining bombs."
"I was showing him, 'Look, just vegetables.' But he started diving straight at me." - Mr. Yurii, a survivor of the drone attack, recounted arriving in Kherson this morning to sell vegetables. His wife was with him. They were just unpacking their goods when a Russian drone hovered right over them.
At this time in 🇱🇻Latvia in 1992, there was approximately one Soviet Army-Family for every 14th Latvian. nafoforum.org/magazine/the...

The Russian economy is rapidly transitioning to the cloud.
The funny thing is that in 1992, there was a public discussion whether 🇱🇻Latvia needed an Army. Imagine! Your country emerges from a 50y Occupation, and your confidence is this low. Yet 🇱🇻 built their army anyway. 🫡https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2084361408662130844.html
Well worth checking out Amara's latest post on Moscow and its control of the Baltic States.
Amara Graps@amaragraps.bsky.social · last wk.I posted yesterday a well researched piece that described the step-by-step USSR co-opting of the Baltic national auditors that made their 1940 'PSR' transformation so insanely fast. tny.lv/HNdWz Reminder: the 1st step to co-opt the auditors was 300K Soviet military.
Muscovy NEVER changed. We in the 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 Baltics have the 'receipts'. Connecting the dots. This thread uses "Muscovy" as shorthand for the continuous imperial system that has existed under different names: the Tsardom/Empire, the USSR, and today's Russian Federation. /0
Years and years ago I wrote a big piece for Management Today about the nascent UK space sector. I drove around the country meeting mad professors creating reusable rockets (then regarded as quite nuts) and shoebox-sized satellites. We illustrated it with this great 70s sci-fi artwork.
Turkish forces deployed five F-16 fighter jets to Estonia, supporting the Baltic flank of NATO.

Tim's instincts are right. Remember ZAPAD-2025? NATO responded with >50K soldiers in a month-long series of military exercises. Russia's MO is deception. It used the cover of ZAPAD-2025 to probe. See Poland: From the 🔍 Hybrid War Tracker Handbook: tny.lv/iZIH0
Tim White@twmcltd.bsky.social · 7d agoIt's not beyond the bounds of possibility that this whole attack by Russia was purely to send a missile into Poland to make it look like an accident. But NATO will know it isn't. It's a test to see the reaction, both on the night and the follow-up. bsky.app/profile/twmc...

Elon Musk's DOGE last year was one of the drivers for me to dig deep into the auditors story from 1940 about how the Baltic countries were transformed so fast into USSR 'PSR's. At NAFO Forum: nafoforum.org/magazine/the... (1)https://x.com/0808Iveta/status/2082556008212160547
🚀🇵🇱 Poland has established where and when the Russian Kh-101 missile that fell on its territory was manufactured According to the prosecutor's office, it was a Kh-101 cruise missile manufactured in the second quarter of 2026 at a plant in the Moscow region.

Six congressmen bought between $83,000 to $245,000 in SpaceX stock just before its IPO: -Jared Moskowitz -Gil Cisneros -Dan Meuser -John McGuire -William Timmons -John James Five serve on committees whose work impacts SpaceX's business. We must ban members of Congress from trading stock.

OK, no break - here we go again with a brand new thread on Day 1618 of Russia's insane and inhumane war on its peaceful neighbour. I appear to be only midway through reporting a big multi-missile attack on Ukraine by Putin's criminal horde. So let's continue..
