Who are the two academics (Gerhard Mangott and Johannes Varwick) that AfD says NAFO has harassed? Let’s find out together!

Mangott had an attack of the vapors when the mean cartoon dogs suggested that spending 6 years in Putin’s Valdai club didn’t make him a neutral observer. While bemoaning NAFO’s dirty methods Gerhard was reduced to calling us idiots, clowns, fools and a brood 🤷‍♂️.
Also, apparently we sued him or something?

Nonlethal Aid Organizations

Here, in no particular order, are a bunch of folks fundraising nonlethal aid for Ukraine. If you don’t see your favorites add them in replies.

I hope no one is offended if I haven’t listed them - this is just a quick crowdsourced beginning. What is ‘Nonlethal?’

I’ve operationalized it to exclude weapons or other items designed to kill enemies. Protective gear, combat medicine & vehicles don’t do that even though they are related to combat.

Some groups do both types of projects - check the one that’s right for you.

I started writing emails to the White House again.

What’s different is now I feature comments made here on twitter by Ukrainians.

1. “I will never forgive @POTUS for creating an illusion of willingness to help Ukraine win without ever intending to.” .

2. “For the last 2 years whenever russia committed another atrocity I kept hoping that would be it, that the free world would say "Enough is enough" & stop the terrorist federation.
I was wrong.
But if humanity isn't aiming to stop such atrocities, then what is it aiming for?”

If you care about how to increase political support for 🇺🇦please read this.
It:

-counters the “🇺🇦 persecutes christian’s” lie propagated by the MAGA crew.

-has examples of 🇷🇺 killing & torturing 🇺🇦 evangelicals.

-has research telling us how to motivate 🇺🇸 voters to support 🇺🇦 Opinion | The evangelical case for U.S. military aid to Ukraine

Who is Stephen Walt?

He teaches at Harvard and is a “realist” like John Mearshimer. He wrote an embarrassingly bad take on Ukraine in Foreign Policy this week.

You can read excellent criticisms by smart people like Neil Abrams

Some thoughts about nuclear war 🧵
***You might not be in the right head space to read more about this at the moment. It’s fine to return to it later or just ignore it altogether. 1/ Nuclear war, threats, power, weapons and more have been in the news a lot this past year. Just the phrase ‘nuclear war’ is scary like ‘cancer’ or ‘climate change.’ Its easy to shy away from thinking about scary stuff.

This story is about a Russian mole arrested in December. He was a director of the cybersecurity department at the BND. The story is paywalled currently. Infiltration is not just a German issue.

Ivan Katchanovski is a political scientist at the Univ. of Ottawa. He writes a lot about Ukraine, far right groups, Maidan & Russia. You might see him in interviews or cited by leftist anti-Ukraine people. He wrote an article last month. I read it and include below some excerpts. These may be useful in refuting claims (if you like arguing with the tankies). In order to seem reasonable to their peers, academics often give both sides of an issue. To appeal to tankies he has more strident rhetoric. At the corner of reason & rhetoric is bonking ground.
