1/2 Except the so-called "Donbas" never existed outside Russian agitprop and astroturfing. This is merely a Russian Psyop, similar to "Palestine."

I have a Russian "State Machine-Building" manual, instructing on Information-Psychological Warfare for this purpose. #NAFOarticle5
2/2
I should add, one of the texts included in the courses was the infamous Russian "Information-Psychological War Operations: A Short Encyclopedia and Reference Guide" covered by @peterpomeranzev in 2015.

They used it to instruct their 2016 interference.

@Matt_VanDyke @Judgenap @OfficialSOLI 1/31 With all due respect, neither one of you know what you're talking about in relation to Seymour Hersh and the CIA.

First of all, Hersh spent a significant portion of his life advocating our disarmament, making a career of it, what bordered on Treason, during the Cold War.
2/31 Promotion of Western disarmament, while the Soviets equipped themselves, was part of the Comintern (Communist International) objective:

3/31 Meanwhile, he consistently advocated policies that would enable Soviet-and now Russian-aligned States to acquire nuclear weapons.

Have before, though is certainly debatable. It would be within the best interest of the region for economic and security reasons, even on issues of immigration control and border enforcement, guarding regional, rather than internal.

The question is whether they're laissez-faire.
Top-down enforcement of socialized policy would be very problematic and stifle the development of many countries, conversely. On the other hand, if the electoral system is properly designed, similar to ours was prior to alteration, they could advance laissez-faire.
Whether it would yield an optimal result, consistent with Liberty, is a question of specificities I doubt the region will ever come to terms with.

If a United Europe means a diminishment of Liberty in implement, then I cannot support it, because the Nordic states are very...

Assessing trade-offs are key to rational policy discussion.

As economist @ThomasSowell once said, "there are no solutions, there are only trade-offs; and you try to get the best trade-off you can get, that's all you can hope for."

1/38 Does Russia slaughtering and raping women and children in Bucha and elsewhere look like saving humanity, or does it look like they have none and have disposed of it? #NAFOarticle5

1/11 Despite what Russian and domestic propagandists say of the Maidan Uprising, the so-called "color revolution," the reality is Yanukovych was impeached and removed from office in 2014 for failing to execute his constitutionally delegated authorities.
2/11 Additionally, the prosecutor many useful idiots continue to cite, Viktor Shokin, had not prosecuted any cases the 13 months he was in office.

Instead, he engaged in racketeering, his prosecutors revealed as taking bribes, stealing property, such as diamonds and cash.
3/11 Shokin then subsequently fired anti-corruption prosecutors who attempted to file charges against these prosecutors from his own office.
