Some real broad "expertise" on Eastern Europe here.
I am judging her not by the color of her skin, but by the content of her CV, which would be just as absurd if it belonged to a white person, if not more so. But this is what modern "experts" who call themselves experts do.
It’s harmful to expect students of color to live in a country they study. She lacks the “emotional bandwidth” to live in Moscow. Interesting scholarly perspective.
I love this website.
Her followers are growing like crazy. She was at 12K when I first discovered, literally yesterday at 40K and today she’s 50K! People appreciate great scholarship. Or if the CIA was buying followers to boost people, this is the first person they’d do it for.
HOW IS THIS REAL

“alleges that Moscow’s post-invasion planning would involve torture, forced disappearances and ‘widespread human suffering.’ It does not describe the nature of the intelligence.” So they’re planning “disappearances” and “suffering”? Sounds credible. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Putin going to target “LGBTQI+ persons.” Looks like he’s not stopping at T, going all the way to +!

Americans make fun of the crudity of Russian propaganda. They have no right to. Image
“While LGBTQ advocates have credited Ukraine’s progress in improving the status of LGBTQ individuals in recent years, they say it has more work to do.”

They don’t ever give it a rest, do they? Image

Thread of clips from my conversation with @hsu_steve. On Russian advances in hypersonic missiles.
What would a war with Russia in Europe look like? "I don't think there's any way they're going to defend NATO headquarters if the Russians want to take it out with a missile...Same thing with supply and fuel, stockpiles in Western Europe, the main ports."
“The theory in the Cold War was you weren’t going to match Russians man-to-man...What the US had was nuclear weapons...What you’re telling me is that Russia still has the manpower advantage in Europe, it also has an overwhelming advantage in the air..through its missile systems”

I talked to @hsu_steve about tensions in Eastern Europe, Russian and Chinese military technology, the rise of China, and his work on IVF. A fascinating guy, and an important conversation on a wide range of topics. richardhanania.substack.com/p/the-future-o…
On the importance of Russian hypersonic missiles. The US has even less leverage than it believes in the Ukraine crisis. We both share the concern that American leaders are once again sleepwalking into disaster, this time with even graver consequences than before.
On how a potential Chinese assault on Taiwan might go.

A very early 2000s Halftime show. Heteronormative. Wokeness losing power, we’re back to west coast gangsta rap.
The first thing I thought when I saw 50 was black Alex Jones.
They let him dance with girls like they did in rap videos 20 years ago. But to compromise with the current year, one had short hair and a few men were off to the side. But mostly the same light skinned black girls of the genre.

"Putin and much of the Russian population that supports him are pretty much like white folks in the South who are still pissed that the Confederacy lost ...like Black folks in America, Ukrainians...have no interest in going back to Massa’s house." thegrio.com/2022/02/05/why…
"Like America, Russia is a settler-colonial state and we as Black folks need to understand how leaders of such states operate because we aren’t that far behind when it comes to being on the lower end of the totem pole of racial oppression."
"A friend of mine, a Black Ukrainian, worries about a Russian invasion and shared with me that, while she is proud to be Black, she feels the trauma of the Kremlin’s aggression as much as any white Ukrainian."

Important context: Ukraine is repressing Russian speakers, arresting opposition figures and launching a cultural purge, with tacit US support. It chose the path of repression because it thought Russia was weak and the US would bail it out. It bet wrong. ti.me/32QLp4o
“The Ukrainian government started by taking his TV channels off the air, depriving Russia of its propaganda outlets in the country. The U.S. embassy in Kyiv applauded the move.”

Sure sounds like America stands for democracy! If they’d shut down LGBT, then US would’ve been mad.
The Ukrainian government with US support prevents pro-Russian figures from owning TV stations or running for office and then we’re told democratic and sovereign Ukraine is making a free choice to join the West.
