Russia/putin did this to a 19-year-old Ukrainian. Russia/putin did this to Ruslana, who volunteered to defend her country. Russia/putin did this to countless thousands of innocent victims. Russia/putin will not stop, until they’re stopped.

The Economist asks and answers the big question 🙋🏻‍♂️ and by doing so, it squashes the already weak arguments of putin-sponsored pacifists and the western fiscal-conservatives-minted-in-the-kremlin economist.com/leaders/2023/0… via @TheEconomist 1/5
“As the war enters its second year, some ask whether Ukraine is worth all this effort. Isn’t the cost-of-living crisis more urgent? Or climate change? Imagine if the money spent on weapons could finance development instead.” 2/5
“It is right to regret the war, but unwise simply to wish away Mr Putin’s aggression. A Russian victory in Ukraine would frog-march the world down a bleak path where might is right and frontiers are drawn by violence.” 3/5

🔴 Why did #russia launch a full-scale invasion last year?
🔵 Whether you're pro-russian, anti-russian, or Elon Musk [who just can't decide], Feb 24th doesn't make any sense
🔵 So, here is a short thread 🧵to explore the 3 most compelling explanations I've heard
1/5
1️⃣ Kool-Aid drinking party in the bunker
As @TarasKuzio explained in his piece for @ACEurasia
"It would appear that Putin simply fell victim to his own propaganda."

2/5
2️⃣ regime preservation: a plan to conduct a quick & victorious war [repeating "Crimea success"] & thus accrue sufficient legitimacy for the putin-kleptocracy to run/pillage russia for decades to come

As @RG_Horvath argued here

📆As we enter year 2023 and #RussiaIsCollapsing in front of our eyes, I wanted to share a Recommended 📚 Reading List on one theme: why we should welcome the final fall of the Ruscist Empire, no fear it.
1️⃣ The Russian Empire Must Die by @anneapplebaum
1/5 theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
2️⃣ Don’t Be Afraid of a Russian Collapse. By @KristiRaik for @ForeignPolicy
A definitive Ukrainian victory "could one day open up a truly peaceful, post-imperial era in Russia’s relations with its neighbors."
2/5
 foreignpolicy.com/2022/12/08/ukr…
3️⃣ Russia must stop being an empire if it is wishes to prosper as a nation. By @TarasKuzio for @ACEurasia
"Russia [in its imperial form] will remain a source of global instability & a threat to 🇪🇺 security while failing to achieve its own potential"
3/5
