Incredibly that Mearsheimer is still broadly considered a reputable expert even after 5 years of continuously wrong predictions on Ukraine. News organisations that take themselves seriously really should stop platforming people line Jeffrey Sachs, Mearsheimer and Erich Vad. They are clowns.
Every word! “We ask @economist.com to provide Ukrainian authors with equivalent space a format proportionate to that given to Melnichenko. This is not a request for a favor. It is a demand for editorial consistency.” Will @zannymb.economist.com respond? nationalinterest.org/feature/why-...

1/5 Europe’s honeytrap scandal of the decade? France has finally issued a ministerial deportation order against Xenia Fedorova, former chief of RT France. Kicking out the Kremlin operative is a crucial move, but it is only the first step in dismantling Moscow's network inside French media
In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Russian propagandist, Xenia Fedorova (@xfedorova). She’s best known for running Russia’s state propaganda media in France, and then writing a whole book to whine about how it got shut down by the EU after Russia invaded Europe. 1/16

A curious Putinist regatta deserves more attention than it is receiving.

It is an important decision. The EU has ended €2 million in funding for the Venice Biennale after the russian pavilion was allowed to reopen. russia’s return to major cultural platforms cannot be treated as something normal.

From the pages of The Economist, Putin addresses the leaders of democratic countries with a simple message: It is wrong to put pressure on Russia, so you must change your approach and, as before, silently acquiesce to all the crimes of the Kremlin.
The United States has struck a bridge connecting Iran with Russia and China. This railway bridge is a key trade route that connects Tehran with its strategic partners – Beijing and Moscow. 1/2
One of the Kremlin’s favourite energy narratives is remarkably resilient: ‘Europe is freezing’. ‘Europe is collapsing’. ‘Europe will soon beg for Russian gas’. The deadline changes far more than the narrative , all while gas restrictions are introduced not in Europe, but in Russia.
which means he would have been 46 today if it wasn't for russia's war of agression against Ukraine. never forget Ukraine's fallen brothers and sisters.
Meanwhile in Ukraine@meanwhileua.bsky.social · last yr.Oleksandr Matsiyevsky, the heroic Ukrainian soldier executed by Russians for shouting 'Glory to Ukraine,' would have turned 45 yesterday.
In 2022, the Kremlin predicted Europe would freeze and starve without Russian energy. Four years later, Europe remains secure in its energy supply. Russia, somewhat less so.
In reality, however, they often convey the same messages that the Kremlin promotes around the world: the West is in decline, the EU is hypocritical, France is a neocolonial power, Ukraine is merely a tool of the US, and Russia acts as the defender of sovereignty and a just world order.

Putin hates historical facts: Orthodoxy started in Kyiv and only later spread to Moscow. Civilised people cherish their roots. Putin destroys them. The attack on Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is uncivilised and brutal but not surprising. Respect for history is alien to the Putin regime.
