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
credo che non ci siano documenti più illuminanti per giudicare l'azione politica di #Berlusconi che i cablo della diplomazia USA rivelati da #WikiLeaks:con #Berlusconi,l'asse politico dell'Italia viene spostato dall'Europa a una special relationship con gli #StatiUniti
i cablo ci permettono di decifrare il livello altissimo delle logiche che hanno permesso a #Berlusconi di rimanere alla guida del Paese per così tanti anni. L'Italia di Berlusconi si impegnava automaticamente nell'interesse degli USA. Lo scriveva nero su bianco la diplomazia USA
illuminante quando diplomazia USA scrive: sì con gente come #Fassino possiamo collaborare, e l'abbiamo fatto, ma è più difficile, rispetto al governo Berlusconi
1/3: #Russlands #Krimanschluss 2014 ist in vieler Hinsicht ein Präzedenzfall für die Unterwanderung von #Völkerrecht und europäischer Praxis im 21. Jahrhundert. Nicht nur in den Bereichen öffentliches Recht und #Geopolitik...@threadreaderapp

2/3: ...sondern auch im privatrechtlichen Bereich und bezüglich #Menschenrechtsverletzungen greift #Moskau auf Praktiken zurück, die eher in das frühe 20. als in das beginnende 21. Jahrhundert passen. @Konflikt_Sicher @TerekMedia @UkrVerstehen @RusVerstehen @LiberaleModerne

#OTD vor 79 Jahren, am 20. Mai 1941, begann Unternehmen Merkur: Die deutsche Landung auf #Kreta. Hier ein Foto meines Großvaters im Transportflieger. Sein bester Freund und Mann seiner späteren Frau wird an diesem Tag fallen. 
Zur Einleitung ein kurzer Blick zurück in das Jahr 1938. Mein Großvater Wilhelm tritt dem #Gebirgsjäger-Regiment 100 in Berchtesgaden bei, wird später Unteroffizier. Die „schönste Kaserne des Reiches“ beherbergt heute das Gebirgsjägerbataillon 232.
Dort lernt er seinen zukünftigen besten Freud Franz kennen. Dieser ist verheiratet mit Karoline, hier beide auf dem 🛷 vorne (Die Dame neben Opa kenne ich nicht 😗). Nun, das wird später relevant.
Around 3000 BCE in eastern #Europe, a Proto-Balto-Slavic #language started to diverge from #ProtoIndoEuropean.
The #Slavic branch of the #IndoEuropean #languages began about 2,000 years later when Proto-Slavic deviated from Proto-Balto-Slavic.

As the #Slavic-speaking area expanded during the first millennium CE (striped area on map), Proto-Slavic transitioned to Common Slavic. The #language underwent minor changes that occurred mostly uniformly across eastern #Europe, thereby maintaining mutual intelligibility.
Around the year 1000 CE #CommonSlavic began to split into the South, West, and East branches to which all modern #Slavic #languages belong.
Roughly 315m people speak a Slavic #language, mostly in Eastern #Europe (including the #Balkan peninsula), #CentralAsia, and #Siberia.
