The #PutinHitler system of fear can’t solve its people problems.
Regime choice ist external distraction of opinion + internal destruction of people
#negotiate ignores that wars, not war serve its purpose.
#ukraine only more of the same.
#RussiaisATerroistState
Long #thread 1/22
Western approval ratings used by #Russia at gunpoint explains the repeated requirement for wars, not war.
Not external factors, as #negotiate likes to make believe.
Reason to stop war will not work for a system, which needs to start wars and only stops to prepare for the next. 2
#negotiate speak in terms of resources & solutions omits, it requires a productive system to work for output. All #terrorists systems quickly deteriorate to their single core asset, which is fear, not productivity. #Russia is the mother of fear, fed by western appeasement. 3/22

same time? Awesome!

Russia has been waging this ongoing divide and conquer info warfare for at least a decade now since social media took off. Mostly just to sew division and destabilize anyone that might push back. Nothing new really, just a new avenue.

Corruption and organized crime has actually been around since the Tsar era, throughout the Soviet era and into present day Russia. My first encounter with corruption and organized crime was back in late 1970s in USSR. I continued to witness this as it grew and became more and
more apparent after the fall of the USSR.
From the early 1990s onwards corruption and organized crime were to reach the level where they had reached the top of the political stage and you got nowhere without bribes and help of organized crime groups.
Even the mayor of Moscow had his dirty fingers in as many dirty pies and at least one of his sons ran one of the largest markets in Moscow which back then were run by organized crime gangs like the Chechens or azeris.

Sanctioned Russian oligarchs are getting serenaded by the world’s smallest violin as the EU, UK, and US band together to seize their assets. #RussiaInvadedUkraine
In his State of the Union earlier this month, President Biden promised oligarchs that the West would “seize your yachts, your luxury apartments, your private jets". #RussiaInvadedUkraine
And so far…

Superyachts owned by Russia’s business elites have been impounded in Italy, France, Spain, and the UK territory of Gibraltar. #RussiaInvadedUkraine

@ACGeoEcon #Sanctions Dashboard is out. Surprise, it's all about #RussiaUkraine. We use #dataviz to compare sanctions across countries, how #Oligarchs are connected to each other and why freezing #reserves is driving #Russia towards default.🧵w gifs below.
atlanticcouncil.org/?p=496048&prev…
First, let's look at who has sanctioned what in #Russia since the #InvasionOfUkraine. The US and EU led the way. This is just entities and individuals. Keep going 👇
Next we turn to the big whopper, the freezing of 60% of #Russia's central bank reserves over night. #ruble is now at 120/USD. Analysts see credit #default trajectory. US couldn't do this alone with only 8.5%. This is international unity at play. Not done though!👇

"Firtash, now wanted by the Americans was set up by #Gazprom & by Putin, he was given sweetheart deals, so to import vast amounts of cheap energy into Ukraine. The vast profits he was able to garner from those sweetheart deals gave him a good life, but..
..but much more importantly he funnelled that money to buy up chunks of East Ukrainian industry, effectively as a front for the FSB(?) the former KGB, but also critically to purchase politicians & to fund the pro-Russian political parties in Eastern Ukraine.

Russia has fomented the rise of the far right across central and eastern Europe. Like a virus attacking its host, malign Russian influence seeks out and attacks democracies.
Eroding the foundations of democracies takes years to fully achieve the desired destabilizing and disabling effects, as the western model of democracy becomes more discredited and undermined so the Kremlin’s model rises up.
Russia’s networks of influence are complex, rendering a countries ability to conduct oversight through transparency, accountability and the rule of law extremely vulnerable to exploitation and manipulation.

Why does #SWIFTban not support #Ukraine the way we want it to? #SWIFT is a messaging system. Would you ever send a friend a #WhatsApp before transferring money so she can make rent? That's what banks do to maintain balance sheets. Lots of money sloshing around out there.🧵
I don't argue against a #SWIFTban. The problem is, it's become a political symbol of #sanctions resolve when there are much more impactful things we can do to damage Russia. Full blocking sanctions on banks, SOEs and then secondary sanctions. Do that if you want to hit hard.
Taking #Russia off SWIFT will make it harder to send that #WhatsApp message, but there are alternatives, including a fax machine. We only took #Iran off of SWIFT after we embargoed the country, as a "nice to have." Economic warfare has a different tempo than real warfare. 👇

Russia 🇷🇺 is a beautiful country. I have many dear Russian friends.

What Russian invasion army under Putin’s orders is doing in Ukraine is condemned by all of the International community.
@MFA @RT

theguardian.com/world/2022/feb… Image
Russia 🇷🇺 could be a prosperous nation if only the country was not run by Putin’s Silovik kleptocrats.

The only way for Russian youth to succeed in the future is to over-throw criminal Putin and choose #peace in Ukraine 🇺🇦. Stand up to Putin insanity!
#StandWithUkraine Image
Putin’s unjustified, criminal invasion is turning Russia 🇷🇺 into a pariah state.

The phase of invasion war can be over in days or weeks, but the World will not forget in a generation. Ukrainian 🇺🇦 people will never forget Putin’s Holodomor.

1) The song says, "Each quiet act of dignity is the one that fortifies." America voted soundly in favor of a man of quiet dignity to preclude the seditious intent of a loud, lying,
criminal buffoon. Mr. Biden began day one, signing orders of quiet dignity.

@dccra @elhombrelibre1
2) Mr. Biden continues restoring America's global presence
and influence with, in his words, "quiet, relentless diplomacy." He isn't hampered, as was his predecessor, by being a bad
actor, leveraged by our adversaries. He works in quiet purpose--understanding America's big stick.
3) Our new president recently used that stick in vigorous, punitive sanctions against #Belarus, its Putin-backed
dictator who forced the interdiction of an airliner to apprehend a dissident journalist, and wisely extended penalties to
pro-Russia #oligarchs and business interests.
