How an Ukrainian village armed with two flags defeated two Russian tanks:

1. 4 Russian tanks enter village. Villagers watch carefully from distance. Russians transfer fuel from two of them to other two, get onto those two and leave the two dry tanks in the village.
2. Villagers plant Ukrainian flags on those tanks.

3. The other two tanks return, see tanks with Ukrainian flags and open fire, destroying them completely. Keep driving around looking for their other two tanks.
4. One of the yanks drives onto a bridge with 5 tonnes weight limit. the bridge collapses, tanks falls into the river, everyone inside dies.

5. The other tank keeps driving around, get lost and finally gets stuck in the ditch. Russians get out of it and walk away.

Someone reminded me of that thread today, so ill tell you something.

I live in Finland now. Some time ago I left my job hoping to get another one. It didn't worked out and I became unemployed.

(A secondary thread).
After looking for a job for some time I went to local equivalent of Job Centre as I found online that unemployed people might get free language courses. 1/
The lady gave me proper bollocking for not claiming my job seekers allowance. I told her it must be mistake, how can I be entitled to job seekers allowance if it was me who quit a job and if I haven't worked in Finland even one full year yet. 2/

An interesting discussion is brewing up between Poland and Ukraine.

We all want Ukraine wants to join Europe in all ways possible. So some years ago they started building a standard gauge railway. It was supposed to reach Lviv by last year.



(1)strefabiznesu.pl/ukraina-buduje…
Now, the new idea of Ukrainian minister of agriculture is for Poland to build a Russian gauge railway from Ukrainian border to ports in Gdańsk, as well as in Klaipeda in Lithuania.



(2)pb.pl/ukraina-chce-s…
Minister Solski argues that Ukraine has more grain-carrying rail cars than all of Europe combined, so it would make the large scale transport easier - the issue here is not just a rail gauge but loading gauge too: Russian-standard rail vehicles are taller and wider, so... (3)

There have been iots in Warsaw today. The "protesting farmers" were throwing cobblestones at the police. Police had to detain some of them.

That gave PiS the chance to make comparisons with Martial State and accuse @DonaldTusk of destroying democracy.

You need the context 1/x
Let's start with the tag in Morawiecki's tweet. It says "Coalition of 13th of December". Why?

The elections that PiS lost took place on 15th of October. Therefore the winning coalition called themselves "coalition of 15th of October".

But thanks to @AndrzejDuda's actions...2/x
the transfer of power was delayed. He was doing everything to give PiS more time so they can shred documents and embezzle some more money.

He appointed @MorawieckiM as a prime minister even though it was obvious he has no chance to secure majority. 3/x

I don't buy this bullshit with "Russian people don't protest against Putin because they are afraid to die". Do you know why?

They volunteer to go to special military operations in their thousands. Knowing what survival rates are. 1/x
That means they are not afraid of dying. They are willing to die for Putin, or for money - as I guess this is a major incentive to sign for the army as pay in Russia is so shit that if you are from some shithole in the middle of nowhere, it's the only chance to make some... 2/x
...money you might ever have in your life.

But if for someone risking one's life to fight for freedom and hope that even if you die their kids will have a better life is "too much of a risk", but risking their life to fight against the freedom of Ukrainians and hope that... 3/x

You might have noticed that many pro-Ukrainian pundits and self proclaimed "Eastern Europe experts" have recently came attacking the new Polish government for their take over of public media, accusing them of destroying a valuable TV channel TVP World.

This is my take on this 🧵
So let's paint the background here. TVP was formerly a polish public broadcaster, a Polish equivalent to BBC so to speak. After PIS took power in 2015 they conducted an illegal takeover of Polish public media and turned them into an awful party propaganda tool. It needs to be /1
"recovered" and repaired so it can serve as a reliable source of as impartial information as possible. I explained this in detail in my recent piece for @WCountryVoices, you can read it here:

TVP World was one of TVP channels, an English-language /2westcountryvoices.co.uk/polish-explain…

WHAT ARE THE PROTESTS ON POLISH-UKRAINIAN BORDER ABOUT? EXPLAINER THREAT:

1. How road transport in the EU works (simplified)

Transport companies from any country could transport stuff inside their own country, or between any two countries in the EU. They can't transport 1/x
goods within other EU country (that is cabotage, but there are some exceptions.

2. How road transport between EU and non-EU countries work (simplified)

Transport companies from non-EU countries can only transport goods between EU and their country - so imports and exports 2/x
To do so they usually have to get special permits. This works both ways, so transport companies from EU that want to go to third countries need permits too.

Those permits are always an issue, as the numbers of them can vary and both sides always believe the other side got 3/x
