If We Want to Discourage Nuclear Weapons, We Need to Get Tougher on Russia The world’s most dangerous lesson has been reinforced over the past few months: if you want to wage war without...

Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier, diese "Alternativen" wird man auch einfach nicht los.

To understand what triggered the protests and the unexpected reaction in Ukraine, it’s essential to know the context - especially for those who don’t follow Ukraine’s internal politics.

🧵Thread:

Hello #econtwitter community: if any of you has been teaching any of my papers, would you mind shooting me a DM? I would hugely appreciate that 🙏 and thanks in advance!

LEFT: The attack on Kyiv, May 24, before the Opetation Spider's Web. RIGHT: The attack on Kharkiv, June 6, after the Operation Spider's Web. Those who call the Kharkiv "retaliation" are lying.

Jens Plötner, Architekt der gescheiterten Russland-Politik, wird Staatssekretär im BMVg – der klare Roderich Kiesewetter wird aus dem PKGr entfernt. Statt Lehren zu ziehen, kehrt die alte Moskau-Connection zurück. Sicherheitspolitisch verantwortungslos und ein fatales Signal an unsere Partner.

SPD-Fraktionschef Miersch hat eine Lieferung von Taurus-Marschflugkörpern an die Ukraine erneut ausgeschlossen. "Wir wollen nicht Kriegspartei werden und so haben wir auch immer die Ablehnung der Taurus-Lieferung begriffen und dabei bleibt es."
25.7% in 2021 -> 16.4% in 2025 und nichts gelernt.
