If the Baltic Jammer in Kaliningrad prevents transportation from and to European destinations, it is time for European countries to block transportation from and to Kaliningrad.
Not reacting forcefully here will just lead to more provocations elsewhere.
The jammer famously affecting planes in Estonia is not the one dubbed Baltic Jammer, but a separate one.
It is almost always on and I am in the process of characterizing it. I will soon have enough data to localize also this one.

Out. And those guys should not get any German tanks. They're needed more elsewhere anyway.

Eine "hidden agenda" der SPD im Bezug auf Russland ist ja angesichts der Historie von Schröder, Schwesig usw. VÖLLIG unwahrscheinlich und sicher reine Verschwörungstheorie... I'm with Toni.
Viele verurteilen mit Recht das Expertinnenbashing von Scholz & Co..
Was Anton Hofreiter tut, ist genauso schädlich: Extremmeinungen als Pseudo-Konsens der Expertencommunity konstruieren, um eigene fast verschwörungstheoretische "hidden agenda"-Fantasien zu stützen.

This is brilliant, every decision maker in NATO (and everybody else as well) should read it.

-Politiker übernehmen russischen Propaganda-Content jetzt auch direkt.
Krass.
Furchtbarer Terroranschlag in Russland geht wohl auf Konto islamistischen Terrors.
Noch ist Faktenlage unklar.
Putin beschuldigt Ukraine.

@MiRo_SPD

Wie man sieht, sind billige parteipolitische Spielchen der FDP wichtiger als die Unterstützung der Ukraine. Bitter.

If four sources from Putin's circle suddenly start saying the same thing, then it's something that Putin wants us to believe, not something that we found out about Putin.

Das Russland-Programm der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung,
@fes_russia
, bringt in einer aktuellen Publikation russische Propaganda in Reinform.
Da wird aus Russland der tolle, zuverlässige Technologiepartner für den Globalen Süden, alles total ohne Probleme. 1/2

What the hell is wrong with us?
As a European citizen, I feel deep, deep shame that this great man who has led his people at war against barbarian hordes for 2 years now has to travel the world as a beggar to get the means to continue the fight. They fight alone, for all of us. What the hell is wrong with us?
