Nah.. But twitter doesn't have to host his horseshyte, they are a private entity.

apparently Musk has desires to change policy on the topic of free speech though, we shall see

Cries when a private company exerts its rights ...

But supports Russia who actively strangle free speech, block media and limit news and exterminate dissenting voices.

Somehow he does not see this ...

somehow you didn't see RT being banned and getting licenses revoked across the globe ... what a surprise

as if it is Finland's decision

how many years have Ukraine begged to join?
have they joined? why not?

... and why would Finland be any different?

For one, you can't join NATO if you have border disputes like with russia for the past 8 years. Finland should be able to qualify

I am surprised how India and SA is not listed as Russia-leaning. I understand that India is being wooed by the West, and that Brazil actually voted against at the UN though their president is Russia-leaning, but us, I guess, are considered as vulnerable. I am unable to determine what is used to poll the above government responses I can only guess the UN resolutions but then Brazil... eh, perhaps they should have added East-leaning, but then some Western leaning people may have shown anger against the Eastern leaning people whom may or not be Western cooperatives.

That's a lie.

Even Kremlin has toned down that level of madness.

International reports before.
2022.
Say much different.

Let's be real. Most resistance to Ukraine joining was from Germany. This is however fading. Business with Russia has been good as Schroeder would attest to.

So this appeared in my twitter feed which is unfortunate since the Ukraine can't afford to loose their moral high ground.

Here is the NY Times post, with a link to the mentioned video in the article (Quite NSFW)

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1511770750914633742

Saw the video on Reddit yesterday, and a user commented that the one Russian had agonal breathing, and that is why that soldier was shot. But this video leaves some questions.

Agonal breathing is when someone who is not getting enough oxygen is gasping for air. It is usually due to cardiac arrest or stroke. It's not true breathing. It's a natural reflex that happens when your brain is not getting the oxygen it needs to survive. Agonal breathing is a sign that a person is near death.

And a big mistake by Angela, accepted by all. There are rules for joining NATO like the one mentioned

We're not there yet. So far German lipservice only. But still not willing to cut the hydrocarbons. Apparently it would cost a German family an extra dinner per week to make that call. Definitely cannot be done. /s

It's why Russian tanks have first aid kits from 1992.

Corruption.

Old first aid kits expire. So replace them?
Heck no. Sell the new ones on the black market. Bribe the inspector. It all checks out in the paper work.

Next time the kits expire again, now the inspector has to cover his own a$$ because finding kits from 1992 in 1998 would mean he did not inspect properly. So got to let the joke continue. There won't be a war after all.

Russian soldiers in the 1950s would sell their mates boots to get money to buy vodka.

I saw, on DW, that expert estimates of the economic (GDP) impact on Germany would be 3-6%.

...

I'm actually starting to frown Germany's way. Zuma uttered as little as 10 words some days, which had a worse impact on our economy. And we're somehow still surviving. And it's not like it was just once or twice...

The Germans have been doing business (and taking advantage of the Russians) for centuries.

Russian-Germans – DW – 07/21/2013

250 years ago, Russia’s tsarina Catherine the Great signed a manifesto inviting foreigners to settle in her country. A German national herself, Catherine's decree marked the beginning of the history of Russian-Germans.

Nato had better wake up.
I 'hope' a lot more hardware is flowing clandestinely into Ukr than is reported beyond AT/AA missiles, and armor. They gonna need it. They need offensive capability desperately.
These days it seems hard to send a box of chocolates though without the press knowing about it.
