The Russian government has released a trove of newly declassified documents on the Holocaust in the Baltics, claiming to show that citizens of Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia actively participated in anti-Jewish violence, not just under duress at the hands of the Nazi occupiers.

for many reasons, but high among them is this AMA in which he got INTO THE WEEDS on why hot dogs are not sandwiches. Which they are most certainly not.

Bad news for the West:
Russia will spend $160 billion on defense and security in 2024 and the Russian Finance Minister calls it the victory budget. Russia pays 75% less for similar or better weapon systems compared to the US / NATO because Russia doesn’t allow its defense

's language in the poll, in my opinion. mentioning crimean water access as an issue is weirdly specific for a non-specialist.
I think the implication they appreciate quite well is that a United States under minority tyranny will either cease to be a dependable ally or cease to be a country.
The very strong statements from several NATO governments on yesterday’s Court decision on abortion are truly striking. I’m not sure they fully appreciate the implication, as they implicitly but profoundly cut against the trope that these alliances are based on shared values. 1/
Tucker in the States: "Real Americans" don't live in large rich cities, which are full of elites
Tucker in Russia: This large rich city is what Russia is like
Tucker Carlson spotted again in Moscow. He tells an Izvestia reporter he had read lots about Russia, so he "wanted to talk to people, look around, and see how it's doing... and it's doing very well."
Asked if he'll interview Putin, he says: "We'll see."
Pro-Russian blogger Valery Kuleshov was killed in
#Kherson
under unclear circumstances.
It is reported that Kuleshov actively cooperated with the invaders and even applied for the position of chief of the occupation police of the city.
Now it's official - Kommersant confirmed Gavrilov resigned (his detention is yet to be confirmed).
Putin humiliated the director of the SVR, placed two FSB generals under house arrest and had Zolotov, the National Guard, to fire his deputy -- in the three weeks of the war.
Breaking News: Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York said he is resigning, ending a decade-long run in disgrace after the state attorney general’s office found he had sexually harassed nearly a dozen women.
Russia could really throw the West off balance by threatening something other than a “military-technical” response. What do we do against an “avant-garde aesthetic” response?

Just like Serbia 2000, Georgia 2003, Ukraine 2004, Kyrgyzstan 2005, etc., Maidan 2014 was a Color-Coded Revolution - a coup dressed up as a revolution, supported by the NED, NDI, IRI, Soros, Omidyar groups etc. George Freidman called it "the most blatant coup in world history."
Folks,
#Ukraine
had free and fair elections in 2019. If you're going to argue that the Poroshenko administration was "installed" and illegitimate, you're going to need to contend with the fact he was *voted out of office*!

I personally like to argue supreme court precedent ("know it when you see it") and the fact that a hot dog without a bun is still a hot dog. But regardless, good to see a candidate care about the issues most important to me.
So the thing you need to know about the Kremlin's statement is that when it regards something as a terrorist attack, that means that the gloves come off and it doesn't have to play for the cameras.
*russia launches an unprovoked war of choice with impossible political aims and no exit strategy*
*us provides 10% of a single year's military budget in aid*
commentators: ah yes, an american forever war
It really does. Everyone condemns Russia's insidious aggression. The question is how do you unwind a conflict so it doesn't last a decade and kill millions. Diplomatic answers will have to be considered, whether you like it or not.

It did. Supply of lethal arms started years afterwards. Burisma, while shady and gross by any measure, was not military involvement. You can think what you will about current US policy, Glenn, but you’re factually wrong here.
LONDON, March 3 (Reuters) - JPMorgan said on Thursday it expected Russia's economy to contract 35% in the second quarter and 7% in 2022 with the economy suffering an economic output decline comparable to the 1998 crisis.
Putin, driven to rash action by his belief Ukraine is not a real nation, has absolutely ensured the consolidation of one. There's a common history and it's no longer about ethnicity or language.
These words are inscribed on the wall at Auschwitz, where a memorial is maintained so we never forget.
Leaving most monuments in place while stating the inhumanities associated with them is a better lesson for future generations than tearing them down indiscriminately in anger.
Sure, and the West has done some horrific things, often motivated by imperialism. You can criticize them all without equivocating about as clear cut a war as they come. In this case, Russia is explicitly motivated by imperialism — its leaders are outspoken about it!
