Ukraine 🇺🇦 is holding a mirror to 🇺🇸’s founding story: A nation refusing imperial rule. A people choosing liberty over submission. A smaller republic fighting a distant metropole. Ukrainians recognize the resemblance. Do Americans?

From Saratoga to Saratov: Every war of independence needs an ally

As Ukraine continues its strategic strikes against Russian infrastructure, author Andrew Chakhoyan draws parallels between the current conflict and the American Revolutionary War to argue that West…

“The banality of evil – a phrase coined by Hannah Arendt, who covered the trial of Adolf Eichmann sixty years ago – is on full display. It lives not only in Bagnyuk – the remote control killer – but in his commander-in-chief, Vladimir Putin,” writes Andrew Chakhoyan in this op-ed.

The banality of Putin

Igor Bagnyuk, a lieutenant colonel in the Russian army, is not a household name. His work, at the vapidly named Main Computation Center of the General Staff, does not involve pulling triggers or tort...

"Europe does not need permission to help Ukraine restore its borders. It needs the will. There is a basic rule that applies to nations as much as to people: pour your energy into the things you can affect," writes Academic director at the University of Amsterdam Andrew Chakhoyan in his op-ed.

War in Iran, war in Ukraine: Europe must act where it counts

"Flying balalaika" or a "death moped with wings" is how Ukrainians refer to the Iranian-Russian Shahed drone. On March first, one of these crude, cheap, but devastatingly effective killing machines st...

Europe could have ended this war in 2022. Our leaders’ denialism & impotent handwringing are a choice they’ve willfully made every day for the past 3.5 years. Trump being nuts doesn’t excuse Europe’s inaction. If anything it should’ve pushed us to do more faster. Yet here we are.

Once again, US leaders seem hell-bent bound on appeasing murderers, once more Europeans are lurching into damage control. Are we powerless? No, we can support 🇺🇦 heroes! For a crucial thermal drone at one of the hotspots in the South, we still need €2.7K. Pls join: euromaidanpress.com/lets-support...

Putin capitalizes on the symbolism of Russian expansionism. The most incompetent and ignorant American administration will not resist presenting Alaska as an example of a fraternal friendship. All that remains is the irony of trading Ukrainian sovereignty in a territory that was itself traded.

1/ The BBC’s investigative team has unveiled how russian-aligned actors used AI clones of real victims to impersonate them and spread pro-russian talking points on Poland during their election campaign. This is yet another example of russia’s cognitive warfare operations aimed at…

Jutel argues that Disinfo Studies is rooted in a NatSec-administrative paradigm and reflects a broader historical struggle in communications theory. That framing may be worth examining, but flattening the entire field into a proxy for state power skips a lot of nuance.

Olivier Jutel 🇵🇸@ojutel.bsky.social · last yr.

My published work on the political economy of Disinfo Studies puts it in the historical context of different theories of communication. It is an old struggle between an instrumental, administrative paradigm in service of NatSec priorities and the Frankfurt School that railed against that. [thread]

Let me get this straight: Some Ukraine supporters are celebrating trump's yesterday "announcements" when the only concrete thing that came out of the White House folklore was granting Putin a free hand in Ukraine for the next 50 days? What? The last 3 or 4 "2 weeks" weren't enough?

Chancellor Merz: Russia is already attacking us today. The infrastructure, we have attacks, arson attacks, what has also happened in barracks here in recent days. Almost all trails lead to Russia.

Guys, just so you know - the dude on the screenshot is a scam, I quit Xitter last year and I don't regret it. But if you're still there, please report his account for impersonation. Thanks! 🙏

❗️China will not allow Russia to lose in the war with Ukraine because the US will switch its attention to Beijing, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in private conversations
