When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Ik dacht bij het begin dat het zou eindigen in een territoriale concessie aan Rusland, maar nooit gedacht dat het zo lang zou duren. Helaas denk ik nog steeds dat het gaat eindigen in een territoriale concessie aan Rusland.

„Warum Russland nicht aufhören wird“ von @schulzewessel.bsky.social bei @chbeckliteratur.bsky.social ist ein lehrreiches Buch. Z.B. über die historische Bedeutung des 17.12.2021, als Russland die Rückabwicklung der NATO-Osterweiterung forderte und so die Souveränität Polens und der anderen negierte.

The EU should use frozen Russian assets to fund Kyiv’s defense, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has said.
He added that doing so would counter claims from the far right and far left that Europe is footing the bill for the war.

Use Russian assets to blunt voter backlash over funding Ukraine, Kyiv says

Honestly if Russia had actually swung Brexit or indeed Trump there would be political science dissertations as far as the eye could see debating how robust the finding was. And there aren’t any.
