1/5 Explanation of why Russian Federation is on the UN Security Council, succeeding to the USSR‘s seat after the USSR fell. #UNSecurityCouncil #RussianFederation
2/5 Some have argued USSR-Russian Federation succession shouldn’t have been automatic since the USSR would no longer exist as a legal entity & RF should’ve simply become another UN member along w/ other former USSR states.
3/5 Still, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) voted to agree to the seat succession to RF. See “Agreements Establishing the [CIS]” at: venice.coe.int/webforms/docum…
4/5 The CIS, as it existed in 1991, included the Byelorussian SSR, the Russian SFSR, the Ukrainian SSR, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan & Uzbekistan.
5/5. The UN Secretary General at that time, Javier Felipe Ricardo Pérez de Cuéllar de la Guerra (Spain) presented this to all UN members and not 1 objected.

BREAKING: #Druzhbana oil depot near #Bryansk, Russia is apparently on fire. I’m not yet sure if this is a junction of the #Baltic Pipeline System-2 (BPS-2) - the longest pipeline in the world. Very bad news for Russia if so. 1/5
The BPS-2 pipeline begins in #Unecha, runs North (passing through #Bryansk & #Smolensk) & ends at #Ust-Luga at the Gulf of Finland. 2/5
The pipeline I was constructed (at a cost to 🇷🇺 of over $4bn) so Russia could have an alternate route to bring oil to Europe so it didn’t have to go through Belarus. 3/5

@JulianRoepcke @fpleitgenCNN 1/6 I appreciate what you’re saying but please consider this: I am a fairly untrained civilian & if my town was under siege & I captured someone who’d been shooting my family & me, I wouldn’t have the heart to shoot to kill. On the other hand,..
@JulianRoepcke @fpleitgenCNN 2/6. …I can’t take the chance of losing the person I’d caught since he’d simply regroup with his fellow murderers & seek to kill me again or my neighbors. I’d probably do exactly this: injure him just enough to avoid such a scenario.
@JulianRoepcke @fpleitgenCNN 3/6 Now, if there was clearly an organized & guarded building where these murderers were being held, I might take the chance & lead the murderer into that building. I’d have to feel it was secure w/out the chance of the murderer escaping again.

1/8. It’s time for some careful diplomacy by Europe/the West (& Japan) with individual #Oblasts, #Republics & #Krais in Russia. Explanation below:
2/8. Unless #Putin is overthrown, Russia is a mess financially & militarily & will be unable to support them anyway. With its latest actions & nuclear threats, Russia needs some pairing down, as it’s become a reckless, marauding danger to the entire planet & now’s the time.
3/8. Diplomacy would include lifting sanctions in these areas to encourage breakaway from Russian rule & future protection from Russia which will be much smaller and weaker.
