1. Some rambling thoughts that occur to me as I ponder the #UkraineCrisis: A Geopolitical Tweet Thread of Uncertain Proportions.

I really fail to understand the number of people I see actually defending #Russia re: #Ukraine.
2. #Russia has security concerns. I agree. History and geography necessitates they are going to be wary of being attacked, particularly across the North European Plain.
3. But if you want to keep your neighbors out of a rival alliance, invading, seizing territories, ignoring security guarantees previously given, interfering with their internal affairs, and massing hundreds of thousands of troops on their borders doesn't seem like the best method

Da glaubt man, man hat alles schon in seinem Leben gesehen. Ausreiseverbote & Landkreissperren.. von wem kommt die tolle Idee? #söder war kreativ & #Merkel ist begeistert. Wer ist dagegen? Die Ost-🇩🇪 Länder& MP wie @MPKretschmer. Völlig richtig wissen diese Menschen im Osten,(1)
Was es heißt, in Ihrer Reisefreiheit eingeschränkt zu sein. Dass man dies in einem gemeinsamen 🇩🇪 noch erlebt, da dreht selbst #helmutkohl sich im Grabe um. Sein ganzes Leben lang lernt man, dass man für seine Grundrechte kämpfen muss&welch ein wichtiges Gut es ist. (2)
Das ganze Leben wird einem gesagt, das sind alles Unrechtstaaten,die solche Mindest-Grundrechte einschränken.Das ist die DDR,das ist China.Nun bin ich seit 4 Mon. in einem Alptraum&die Politik,Menschen&Medien finden genau an diesen Dingen im Namen des Infektionsschutz gefallen(3)

1/ I'm too young to really remember #HelmutKohl. One of my first political memories is in fact his defeat by #Schröder in 1998.
2/ Germany surely has a lot to thank him for. I also have to thank him on a very personal note...
3/ 1st my daily jogging route takes me across the former #GDR border four times, past the crosses of those who died trying to cross it.
