Anna’s History Class - Part One - Russian colonization 🧵

1.  When Russia occupy country, they not only occupy it physically, they occupy it socially and even mind occupation. I will use #America as example of what this look like. Imagine Russia invade America. Image
2. They raze everything and first priority murder anyone who can resist. They call these people “elites” but what this really mean is anyone who has strong cultural, natural, factual ties. They target prominent leaders, writers, thinkers, scientists, religious leaders,

Image
Image
Image
3. Journalists, historians, activists. Anyone who has tools or standing to resist.
3.  So they round up all your Hemingways, CNN, doctors, professors, Democrats and Republicans, lawyers, everyone like that. Then who remain is now Russian. Image
4. Forget America. It never existed. There is no American Revolution because America never exist.

It's Russia and has always been Russia. You now will speak Russian, know only Russian version of history, watch only Russian approved movies, read only Russian approved books,
5. Listen to only Russian approved music.    

You will be Russian. English? That’s not real language. All English language books are burned. If you resist, you are executed or disappeared or sent to psychiatric hospital to be corrected, because not to accept this new reality Image
6. Mean you are mentally ill. Your achievements in science and culture are now Russian. You went to moon in Russian built machine, manned by kosmonot named Neil Armstrongky. Your famous Hemingway was always Russian. Washington? Lincoln? They never existed.

Image
Image
Image
7. But as Russians it was you who freed slaves that evil West steal from Africa. It was you who made blues music. Your streets, cities, buildings are renamed. Famous Broadway street in New York City is now Lenin Street. New York City itself is now St Putinsburg.
8. Your property? Gone. It's not yours. It belong to Russia. You are lucky to live in Russia where you are given land by Russia. You say it’s your land? Executed. Now next guy will be lucky to live on Russian land
9. They decide where you live. They assign where you live and how you live. You good Russian? You might get your own flat. Or you bribe someone. Generally, you put in large communal flat with strangers. Oh, criminal or pedophile share flat with you? Too bad. You complain? Gulag.
10. You see Russian soldiers raping? Russian police raping? Russian men raping? You report them? How dare you smear your great culture. Gulag you go. Concentration camp where you will be starved, raped beaten and reeducated. Now you understand you are Russian? Image
11. You have profession? Forget your job. You now work for Russia. Your religion? It's Russia. Now you have generations of this. All things on TV tell you that only Russia is good. You are best culture ever because you went to moon first or had Russian writer named Hemingway.
12. All other countries are trying to kill you or steal your achievements. You are greatest humans ever because you suffer for your greatness. I tell you very simple overview. 
Generation after generation until this thing called America is forgotten & everything you knew is lost
13. Some of you across generations keep your English, hide your English books, music, your culture in hopes one day you will be you again. And then it happens. Most of you wake up from this nightmare and remember America and your apple pies and baseball. But some can’t remember
14. Or don’t know who they are. They speak Russian so are they still Russian? They don’t want to be Russian. Most are ok with speaking Russian as long as they are not Russian. It will take time to deRussify. Some want to go faster and few are afraid of change.
15. For 30 years you as nation try to heal from this century of being erased and there are internal disagreements. But majority of you know you are American. For Russia, you now wanting to reclaim your culture, speak your language again, is act of war.
16. In fact Russians see denying of Russian culture as Nazism. When they publish their policy of genocide against Ukraine at start of invasion in 2022, they explain that any Ukranian identifying as Ukrainian is Nazi and should be killed because Ukraine is not real
17. It’s been translated into English, even summarized for you. Have you read it? Imagine if Brits one day decided that America is not real, it’s British because they speak English and anyone identifying as American is Nazi.
snyder.substack.com/p/russias-geno…
18. Difference is you came from British soil and all of Europe by choice. Russians came to our land and made us Russian through genocide. And now they genocide us again. In occupied regions, first thing Russians did was ban Ukrainian language, burn Ukrainian books, music, culture Image
19. And force Ukranian citizens at gun point to take Russian passport and declare themselves legally Russian. Thats genocide. Russians do this for centuries against many nations. And they are doing it now. Stop this genocide. Free Ukraine

It’s even worse for USA. Listen, I will again explain what my father said when Trump was installed by russia. China ends this war and ends American economy, influence and alliances.🧵
1. I explain to you first as my father explain to me China needs.

China only allies with russia out of necessity. It is nothing but slave state to China and weapon against its enemy USA.

But China have problem. All its alliances cannot maintain their economy. All third world collective they have cannot replace West.

China only really need trade and investments from Europe and Canada. They can bypass USA. But problem is Europe and Canada are loyal to America. USA enemies are our enemies. Their war on terror became our war on terror. Their policy was our policy.

This makes not only USA prosper but give it security, but it is problem for China because Western wealth is married to USA.
2. But what if you could destroy USA alliances? How would you do it? This is why China use Putin to install Trump. China play against russia as well, but that is secondary to their goal of destroying USA power.

Allies would never betray USA. So Putin used Trump for USA to betray allies.

Everything Trump has done in 11 months was to destroy USA alliances. Canada, Denmark, Greenland, Japan, Europe. All Trump focus has been to betray allies.

China needs no soldiers to make America nothing. They only need to strip her of allies.

I must to you repeat basic fact that despite all appearances, China hates russia.

✋I’m going to explain to you why X account location is now meaningless since Ilan removed origin feature. Once they see all MAGA and russia supporters are India, Nigeria, Belarus bot farms, they hid origin. I will explain this like you are child because it had to be teach me that same way.

Let start with origin 🧵Image
Image
1. Origin

This was only important part of account identity. Because when we all created our accounts none of us knew that Ilan would show where we are.

Of course it’s not totally confirming but it is most likely. Let’s say you from Ukraine, but you were in Estonia when you create account. But all your posts are pro Ukraine and your current location is Ukraine. Then you are likely not from Estonia. But even if you are, Estonia also have serious concern for its own safety, so even if you are from Estonia it make sense you pro Ukraine.
2. But if you location of origin of account is from Nigeria and all your posts are pro russia and Trump, no matter where it say you are now, you part of active measure. There is zero reason for person from Nigeria or India to be pretending to be MAGA unless it’s part of propaganda effort. And we knew well before this that MAGA is russian creation anyway.

🚨I don’t need more proof russia was behind Kirk assassination. Fico, Medvedev and now Hinkle - who loves Hamas and openly hated Kirk - is spreading same talking points.

This all proof I need. As soon as Hinkle is activated, I know it’s russians. I’ll give you example of how Hinkle is proof.

Many of us lurk on russian channels they think are secret. We know what their lies will be before world knows. They upload entire scripts.

Literally I recall within moments of russia bombing pediatric cancer hospital in Kyiv, I saw on russian state channels script of how to blame us and what to say. Hinkle had that script in advance because he posted below within seconds it was posted on Russian channels.

Same with 7 October, russians posted to blame Ukraine for Hamas weapons, and he posted word for word that script.

Literally I watch this bastard for years as experiment. In fact, we have identified most russian paid propagandists in West.

So Hinkle mourning man he hated and blaming Israel is exactly russian active measure. This is all proof I need. I promise you I can show you list and every single one of them is saying exact same thing at exact same time. 🧵Image
1. Let’s begin. Why would Westerners who never been to or have interest in Syria. Georgia, Belarus, Venezuela or Ukraine all be interested in each of these countries whose only relation to each other is they are victims of russia?

Right after #Bucha, we saw exact same people saying exact same thing and at exact same time. As absurd as it is, so how these people all decided that despite all evidence, Ukraine massacred its own people? This is not just different people using reason and coming to rational conclusion. These are different people who wake up and decide together most absurd lie.

If bunch of people suddenly started saying that sky is made from cheese, such absurdity would be noticed and why these people are saying it would make you ask what their relation to each other, yes?

That catch our attention. We start researching them. And when we search their names together, we found Syrians had been asking same exact questions. Only for Syrians, it was not Bucha. According to these Westerners it was Syrians who used chemical weapons on themselves and not russia or Assad. In fact, it was human rights NGO they blame if you can imagine. They so terrorized White Helmets with this smear campaign, that their leader went out window.

How same people come up with same exact absurd lies? But then we watched them do this with Iran, Georgia, Belarus, Venezuela.

And we tracked not only what they wrote but what they did.Image
2. So when I tell you that these same exact people are now saying exact same thing at exact same time again, using nothing but lies and scapegoating Russian favorite scapegoat, it’s because Russia is behind it.

Nothing can convince me otherwise. Once these Russian propagandists started saying this as soon s he was shot, it was all proof I needed.

Here is me warning Venezuela as Russian troops arrived and these liars start active measures. Partial list of who they are is in this thread.

You want to know if russia is in involved in anything ? See what these people are saying. Is it exactly same thing at same time? Did it start shortly after incident making it impossible that it was organic reaction? That’s your proof. If they get script in advance, it’s because Russia knew in advance. And if russia knew in advance, then russia knew because russia was responsible for whatever incident you have questions about.

Ok I could not sleep until I wrote out what father said. First it’s important for West to understand context of this bill and why people are reacting. I’m summarizing long complex situation.

Zaraza Infection

Even though Russians and their paid Western propagandists claim we have coup here in 2014, it’s lie. Their claim we wanted to join NATO, also lie. I mean it’s zaraza, nothing they say will ever be truth. It’s who they are.

No one was talking about NATO back then. We wanted to get away from post Soviet Russian continued corruption and theft. Obviously, if you know russia, it’s who they are.

We wanted to join EU, but russia corrupt everything. So we wanted to counter 🧵
1. Russian oligarchs stealing our property and resources as their own by having EU commercial agreement. Of course if we have Europe invest in us, russians would find it more difficult to do what they do best: steal.

Also Russia has its own version of EU where it basically enslaves other nations called EAEU. At that time we had our very own installed version of Trump called Yanukovych. Indeed same guy that helped Russia install our Trump install your Trump: Paul Manafort.
2. We wanted this European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement by majority. Putin threatened us, started trade war and said there would be consequences if we made agreement with EU. We wanted no more Russian corruption. It was agreed upon by all parties. Our Trump delayed and delayed signing it. Instead in violation of our desire as free people, he not only refused to sign it, but worse he agreed to make us instead slaves to Russian fake EU instead, EAEU.

This is background for what you are seeing now. Maidan started in opposition to this betrayal because our dream was Europe.

We must meet certain criteria to join EU. Even though most corrupt and fascist country in Europe, Hungary, is in EU. We had to have independent investigators of corruption to meet criteria.

1. Good morning. I sleep 6 hours and now that I have coffee it come to me what bother me about American MAGA most. It is both their ignorance and their arrogance.

I will tell you that I know not single thing about cars. My father, brother and every man I know have explained it to me. It go into my head and fall out. I don’t know anything about cars. I call how cars work magic. They start by magic. I am not ashamed I don’t know this because we can’t all know all things.

But MAGA who never been to my country or Russia, don’t know history or have any understanding of these cultures insist, INSIST, that they know better than I what happen to me in my country.🧵Image
2. This arrogance shock me. I give you example. Russia’s big lie is they invade us because of NATO expansion. This is false. But first you even have to know what NATO is. Yes? But they don’t. They don’t have any idea.

How can NATO threaten Russia? What is this expansion mean?

Let’s say you live in village and among you is very large mean gang. They break into all homes of this village and steal and rape. Individually you don’t have power to stop them. So you meet with your neighbors and you decide to be Musketeers. All for one. This mean when this gang next time break into my home, all my neighbors will come to my defense. We can defend together better than individually. It’s defensive village agreement.

Why would that be threat to much more powerful violent gang that none of us attack ever and who always attack us? MAGA can’t answer.

I will answer

Because this larger mean gang can’t steal and break into our homes if we have alliance of defense. What normal person would be against this? Especially MAGA who have gun in ever room of their homes to defend themselves?

And irony is they are only ones to use NATO article 5. America were attacked and we all came to defend them. Now they say NATO is evil. How? Because you used us but when we were attacked you did not want to help? Just say you are cowards at least and be honest.

When this argument is made, its most bizarre thing I ever hear in my life. We can’t agree to defend ourselves together? Why? Because russia wants to invade and can’t if we agree to defend each other?
3. So what is NATO expansion? Individual countries joining defensive alliance. And why is this bad? All of these countries have been attacked by Russia and none of them attack Russia. Why does Russia have authority to decide what agreements nations make among themselves? Do we tell Russia what they can and can’t do? No.

When MAGA say this as justification for genocide, they are saying that anyone who wants to defend themselves against invasion should be invaded. It’s as me saying anyone who own gun for protection is asking to be robbed in their own home.

This is arrogance of them and their ignorance.

But here is even worse part

🚨1. My father want me to tell you this. I’m tired so I translate some and use Google for some. He wants me to tell you that no Trump Putin agreement have meaning in reality. 🧵

“I tell them same thing for years. Russian cannot win this genocide. They had many support here before war as friends and family. They imagine this warmth as desire to be occupied. They have first mistake was starting this war. There second and fatal mistake is crimes they committed. You cannot simply steal children of your friends and family. You cannot rape your friends and family. You cannot kill  your friends and family.
2. All family and friend support they have here before? Hatred now like nuclear bomb. Hate. Family relations? Gone. Warm feelings? Now absolute hate. It’s not military or Zelenskyy that is only fighting. Every babushka want to tear apart all of them with her own hands, all of them, even people they called friend. This is reality. This genocide awaken every memory of every other crime that time make people forget. We now remember it all. 
This war cannot be won by Russia. It was lost years ago.
3. Any agreement Trump make with Putin is just for Putin domestic propaganda. His country is collapsing. That fake country with stolen people have nothing to eat. He need mirage of America declaring peace. It give for Putin temporary mirage to sell to people to calm them so he can keep war going. 

It’s very simple to explain to Americans. Putin cannot stop war because he ends. Soon as he show weakness, his own people turn on him. This is culture that only want myth. But he cannot keep war going because Russia is indeed collapsing. He try to use 2 toilets with one ass. 

Well, he get this stupid prostitute he pays Trump to use as American power to tell Russian people you have won. It buy Putin time. But maybe month or two. Because you can’t eat lies from mirage. It must matter in reality these things. You can’t both win war and still be at war. This lie only work short term.

It’s theater to save not savable Russia with only real consequences  for America. It is America being made small, weak, poor. Not Ukraine or Europe.

At same time Putin must declare victory to say see, Vasya it’s worth what we did. We all going to be one family fat from food together.

He can’t deliver to Vasya this and he can’t stop war. What he do? Use his prostitute Trump to convince Russians that even America say we won.
