"#Russia's devil-mongering rhetoric sounds ridiculous to our ears only because we in the West are not the main target of the message, writes author Sofi Oksanen." @SofiOksanen
"Moscow's #Satanism rhetoric is therefore just a reformulation of the #denatsification of the early years into a more understandable form for audiences for whom the #Nazis do not symbolise absolute evil in the same way as in the West -
the fear of demons is more universally unifying than the horror inspired by the Nazis."

Poem for #NAFO
Arise, ye NAFO meme forces
For truth and justice in the land
Rise up to fight against the vatniks
On Twitter they take a stand.

With wits sharp as steel blades,
Their courage cannot be denied.
No opponent can withstand them, 1/5
When their memes are amplified. 2/5
From the halls of Congress to social media streams,
They rise up with might and zeal.
Disinformation will not prevail;
Their mission is clear: Truth shall be heard! 3/5

We all need something to lift our mood. Here are some AI generated songs/poems of Russian might. 1/4
Cope pyramids:
These Russian cope pyramids in Ukraine,
So vast and tall in their view,
Claim to be mighty as Drachenzähne,
But alas, they’re not true.

They can’t match the grandeur of those rocky spires,
That reach up into the sky, 2/6
Theirs is a shallow attempt at power and might;
A feeble try.

For theirs is a world of fake strength and show;
A facade of false pride.
It cannot compare to the real thing that exists
In places far and wide. 3/6

What Russia will do in #cyberspace in #Ukraine and potentially in Europe, #Microsoft's thoughts and estimates.
Some highlights from the article:

What has already been done: "Cyberattacks on Ukrainian and now foreign-based supply chains, and cyber-enabled influence operations—intended to undermine #US, #EU, and #NATO political support for Ukraine.
Russian military operators also expanded destructive cyberactivity outside Ukraine to #Poland, a critical logistics hub, in a possible attempt to disrupt the movement of weapons and supplies to the front."
