The hope of Europe. 🥹

Here's some fictional flags I made for a "Pro-Western Eastern European country fights Eurasian/Neo-Soviet empire" scenario. This can be used in games and the like, in circumstances when using Ukraine and russia themselves wouldn't be appropriate.

Serhii Plokhy > Vladislav Zubok

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

❗️India, the world's third-largest oil importer, is the biggest buyer of seaborne Russian crude.

I hope you realize that at this point, Ukrainian EU membership is an absolute necessity for that country to have any future. It's no longer just a long-term aspiration. Throwing that process into doubt now is utterly insane.

This tweet perfectly sums up what Ukraine's struggle is all about, and indeed the struggle of post-1989 Eastern Europe generally. The right to live normally. A stable, free, prosperous, peaceful country. No dictators, klepticratic oligarchs, or russian aggressors. A normal country.

something extra de-realizing when it’s a hot summer evening in your favorite city but then there’s a war and you’re standing with a poster protesting an insane bill, surrounded by ppl of your age, like will there ever be a generation of Ukrainians who don’t have to fucking fight to live normally

Our opponents do not love America. They do not love America. They love themselves, America is just the place they happen to be. They do not believe in America. America is just the name of the place they happen to be. They cannot deny me America because it was never theirs to deny.

Why am I seeing this?
What am I doing with my life?
Why am I making you see it too?

Not to be provocative, but how would you apply this to the ethnic russians in Latvia and Estonia?

Just saying it's not a relevant point when talking about waving flags. Almost none of today's Mexican-Americans trace their heritage in California before 1846.

I don't think the "used to be part of X country" argument is ever good, especially >180 years on. That's how russia thinks.

Polish liberals are masters of shooting themselves in the foot.

Muh manufactured consent!

The true Mujahid Poland deserves. 🫡

I could totally buy that Trzaskowski was too liberal. And he also took his status as the favorite for granted throughout the campaign. Big mistake.

Was sad to hear about the Polish election. But I primarily blame Trzaskowski and the government for blowing an easily winnable race against a literal huckster nobody.

Poland's election result was FAKE NEWS. 😡

TrzasQwski won BY A LOT. 😤

TRVST Donald T(usk)'s PLQN. 👀

Western and urban Poland on Sunday, hopefully.

We should've always trusted Frank's plan. Before Romania's election last year, the PSD's Ciolacu was the odds-on favorite. Then the pro-russian nutcase Georgescu came out of nowhere. Then the election was overturned and rescheduled. Now Romania has an actually decent president.

🇭🇺 Hungarians demonstrated in Budapest against Orban’s escalating campaign to muzzle critics, - Bloomberg

Thousands attended a rally after ruling party introduced a bill to cut funding to civil society and media that receive money from abroad and which are deemed a threat to Hungary’s sovereignty.

Russia does this thing where they demand to be treated as a great power for tautological reasons which is very funny when Indonesia has literally twice their population and never does this

I once saw a Russian liberal lamenting about how russia and Ukraine used to have a US-Canada like relationship before 2014. That's about to have two meanings at this point.

I personally would support a Schengen-style agreement between the US and Canada. I also recognize that such a thing is totally DOA now for very understandable reasons, at least until a future US president apologizes, and do not want to push the issue.

No, I see that there is no plan at all, just simple feral bloodlust born from delusional conspiracy fantasies which constitutionally cannot be appeased or managed because the people with such fantasies nonetheless intend to continue biting off more than they can chew until put down for good

LISTEN UP LIBERAL, MAIDAN WAS A CIA COLOR REVOLUTION, WHAT THE FUCK IS AN ARSENIC YAHTZEE NUKE

I'm OK with that last thing, yes.

Time for a TRVTHNQKE

I don't know who needs to see Ghibli Maia Sandu, but here she is.
