This is incredibly ominous. ASPI is funded by Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, BAE Systems, and the US Department of Defence, among others. It has published demonstrably false information about US adversaries. Now, it’s Twitter’s thought police.
Make no mistake: This means that the US military-industrial complex will now be able to shape the discourse on Twitter, deciding who gets to post, and who is silenced. Hundreds of accounts have already been deleted.

The attempt to divert blame for climate inaction onto China and Russia is perhaps history's most cynical and destructive provocation.

The US has not only been the greatest contributor to climate change, but also the greatest obstacle to climate action. aljazeera.com/news/2021/11/2…
As @jasonhickel has shown, the Global North is collectively responsible for 92% of total excess emissions — effectively colonizing the atmosphere, depleting carbon budgets while denying the Global South the right to industrialize and build prosperity.
Under the Common But Differentiated Responsibility framework, a critical principle in international climate agreements, wealthy states have an obligation to do more than poor ones — reflecting their higher capacities and their historic contributions to climate change.

This annual "commemoration" is a vicious act of revisionism that crept into the Brussels technocracy through the veins of Eastern European reaction.

It is a smear as grotesque as Holocaust Denial — designed to mask the roots of fascism and inoculate us against Marxism.
It begins with the reinvention of the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact as the original sin of the war.

On this account, it was Stalin and Hitler's division of Poland that marked the start of war, plunging Europe into darkness.

The historical record could not be more different.
The USSR had long anticipated another war.

"Once again, as in 1914, the parties of bellicose imperialism, the parties of war and revanchism are coming to the foreground," Stalin told the Party in 1934. "Quite clearly things are heading for a new war."

Whatever measures the EU takes in Belarus from today will not be motivated by concerns about "democracy" or "free speech".

There were no sanctions against Saudi Arabia when it dismembered Khashoggi, Britain when it kidnapped Assange, or Israel when it decimated media offices.
A recent @Europarl_EN resolution gives us a clue as to the real motivation.

The resolution expressed “regret” that the Belarusian authorities failed to follow World Bank and IMF recommendations to privatize the state sector, implement austerity, and "encourage entrepreneurship".
The resolution also expressed “concern” that state regulations were hostile to the private sector, "particularly the requirement to pay a minimum wage not lower than the average wage of the ten most successful state-owned enterprises."

Each year on Victory Day — after a celebratory round of military parades, flybys, and speeches — the people of Russia take to the streets in one of the most profound and solemn expressions of historical remembrance I have ever witnessed: the Immortal Regiment.
The streets are filled with the faces of lost relatives and comrades.

For a few hours, the partisans and soldiers, workers and resistance fighters, medical personnel and others who had lost their lives in the brutal war of resistance against Nazi barbarism are returned to life.
No country suffered as much as the Soviet Union in World War II — and no country played a bigger role in crushing the Nazi machine.

By the end of the war, some 25 million Soviet lives had been lost, including 25% of the population of Belarus.

Today marks 102 years since the start of the Spartacist Uprising, in which a group of revolutionaries led by Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht launched a general strike in Berlin — and were massacred by the Freikorps at the orders of SPD President Friedrich Ebert.
Ebert unleashed some 3,000 soldiers from the Freikorps — a proto-fascist militia that incubated parts of the Nazi leadership — on the strikers. Using weaponry from World War I, the Freikorps murdered over a hundred striking workers.
Ten days later, the Freikorps captured, tortured, and murdered both Luxembourg and Liebknecht, dealing a deadly blow to the prospects of socialist revolution in Germany and paving the road towards Nazism. Ebert later dubbed himself “the bloodhound” for his actions.
