Should Russia give back its land to Mongolia 🇲🇳? Because, Moscow and most of Russia were once Mongol Empire. No? Then sit down and shut up with the Russia-once-owned-Ukraine nonsense. Image
While you’re here… give this post by @USEmbassyKyiv some love…
Raising the alarm is always hard. But @DAlperovitch @AVindman and I keep doing it anyway.
Follow @DAlperovitch — he long ago called the invasion down to a textbook layout of what Russia was gonna do invading Ukraine.
We do not want territorial nostalgia. The point is that we should support modern territorial sovereignty whenever possible (with exception of crimes against humanity). This statement by @KenyaMissionUN is well said.
Empire building is he-who-shall-not-be-named’s goal. It’s so obvious.
This invasion is sounding more and more like he-who-shall-not-be-named’s ‘Make Mother Russia Great Again’ campaign. Finland 🇫🇮 historians know what’s up… good thread 🧵 below 👇
Welp, if there was Putin-brown-noser, of course it would be Trump giving him a fluffing.
Man it gets worse. Internet detectives believe Putin signed the agreement to recognize the separatists before his actual security council meeting to discuss the request even took place! Based off of wrist watch ⌚️ time screenshots. 👇
Russian excess deaths during the pandemic… more than the US; and also more than 2.5x the rate than the US per capita. Horrible all around though.

War sucks. My paternal grandparents narrowly escaped being massacred in the infamous Rape of Nanjing. My other grandfather fought in so many infantry battles that he couldn’t talk about it. War affects us all. So don’t lecture me to “stay in my lane” damnit! Peace☮️ for Ukraine🇺🇦 Image
1937 the Japanese Imperial army murdered 300,000 out of the 600,000 people of Nanjing. They managed this horrific feat in just six weeks. Men, women and children, all murdered. Rape, torture, infanticide. No one was safe—it was one of the worst atrocities.

3) some of the Rape of Nanjing crimes against humanity are too horrible to tell. But they must be told.

📍There is new emerging data from CDC Data tracker showing surging pediatric #Covid19 deaths. AAP also shows a surge (their reporting is slower & less complete). NVSS is waiting for certificate delivery to CDC. ➡️But this is worrisome.

2) this surge is not always noticed by the media. But many of us are watching it closely. Don’t try to say “died with covid” as if pediatric deaths are okay.
3) the increase is likely very real. Not enough media outlets are reporting it. There seems to be an ostrich head in the sand approach to inconvenient COVID news.

📌Wow—cleaver sleuths uncovered that Putin actually signed the agreement to recognize the “independent” breakaway regions HOURS BEFORE (~10:15am) the Russian security council meeting was later held around noon to discuss the independence request for recognition! 🔥
2) the watches of the Russian Security Council members tell a story that the meeting was done post hoc to the actual signing!
3) I’m willing to bet Putin bans wrist watches ⌚️ at his next public meeting.

Let me get this straight—so the @WSJ encourages its employees to work from home—but publishes COVID-is-over pieces telling you it’s safe to goto work & send kids without masks, ventilation or HEPA filters. Got it.

The irony is rich—and dangerous. #CovidIsNotOver
To be fair, WSJ does publish a few good pieces on COVID risk. But the @WSJopinion section tends to publish more much “COVID is not a big deal” pieces by 10:1 ratio or more. wsj.com/articles/one-m…
Also @WSJopinion is still WSJ dot com website & carries weight of WSJ editors who commission them and approve them. To the lay public they are one and the same just like how prime time Fox News pundits = Fox News. Plus, sources that WSJ reporters quote also define a story angle.

Epidemiologists who warned about a looming COVID invasion in early 2020 is ~akin to security experts (@DAlperovitch @AVindman) who tried to warn about a Russia invasion for last 2 months! Alarmists were right again. To deniers who said this day would never come—go eat your shoe👞
2) @DAlperovitch did warn quite profusely. He is my #1 follow for all things Ukrainian invasion right now. Trolls came out for me when I shared my concerns last month. The haters can go home.
3) warning and sounding the alarm hard. Damn hard. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

“Seriously bad” — BA.2 variant: New study suggests Omicron variant worse than BA.1 news.com.au/world/coronavi…
2) Don’t tell me everything is fine when you look at this chart… where #Ba2 is now 90% dominant.
3) and what is happening in Denmark 🇩🇰 with their mortality and 90% BA2? Surging excess deaths ago.
