@igorsushko Wow. I am shocked. For two years I have been writing (in Hebrew) of the choice Israel faces in Ukraine, having to side with the free; time and again exasperating evasiveness was the official response. Finally, if only under duress and while suffering increasing diplomatic

@BidenHQ How can you deny that he is an accomplished history buff. No one knows the Revolutionary Wars better than he, though if he had been given command he would have seized the British Air Force, even before being sworn in, by unleashing his space force from very distant planets

@JuliaDavisNews @cepa In blaming the Anglo-Saxons do they establish a line of culpability going to King Alfred of Wessex? If so, do they point out he was challenged by the Vikings, the Slavs’ ancestors? The battle which was joined in the ninth century is still raging, but this time no compromises

@IuliiaMendel @annanemtsova More evidence of the pathology of infatuation with Putin, shared by far-left and far-right, in Europe and in America. Ben Cohen is of course far-left, or better, self-righteous far-left. Puzzling and disturbing but not entirely unprecedented. Communists the world over took a

@Jairam_Ramesh One is stunned, though perhaps one shouldn’t be, by Modi’s complete lack of humility. He could have pretended to be a statesman, he could have called for healing divisions. But being what he is, Modi’s default choice is sarcasm and condescension. One feels so sad for India

@OPolianichev Well, we do know, empirically, that work liberates (sounds slightly better in German.) And while we are at that, let’s repeal Alexander II’s emancipation of serfs. And let’s reconscript Jewish boys for 25 years. And let’s redeport the Tatars. May a dark Russia reign supreme

@OPolianichev Thank you. Most compelling. There is an urgent need to avail evidence of Russia’s historic colonial exploitation throughout its empire and the way it is linked to its current attempt at recreating that very empire

@stuarthazeldine @Rodri43456890 @MedvedevRussiaE I think this goes well beyond Goebbels. This is a draft for a Russian Mein Kampf. This is Hitleresque. In fact, some historians theorize that Hitler drew his virulent antisemitism from Russian nationalists who went into exile after the Revolution. The genocidal virus is back

This is breathtaking. The self-professed #Hindu nationalists under #NarendraModi pull the ground from underneath the Indian ethos. Parliamentary speaker lionizes #caste supremacy. Devastating. What is happening to you, #Bharat ? And how long will you let it go on?

@Gerashchenko_en Russian quest for a new empire assumes cartoonish proportions. Other would-be empires dress themselves in progressive garbs (China, Iran and Turkey come to mind). Russians could care less about pretensions. Their Russia is Pobedonostsev’s, Aleksander IIl’s, dark as dark could be

@AblotiaLucas One day, hopefully sooner rather than later, Georgians would treat you as their alibi: the voice that did not fall silent when so many voices did Courage doesn’t come naturally to humans. Only a handful are truly endowed. You appear to be one. Thankyou, Lucas, you inspire us all
