Peak EU absurdity. We are preparing to repair a pipeline Russia itself bombed - to restart the flow of Russian oil we claim to be phasing out - for Hungary, which is blocking €90bn for Ukraine that we’re funding - sans Hungary. If this is not paid from frozen Russian assets - which it should be, morally and legally -, this move is beyond delusional. We’re subsidising the aggressor instead of making them pay for their own destruction. That’s clinical-grade masochism - collaboration in our own economic suicide and Ukraine's strangulation.

@akberzins Liked the “the cheapest moment to build optionality is well before you need it” in particular. This is exactly what tailwindapp.eu financial planning tool helps you achieve, typically by investing just 5-10 minutes per week!

Worth all founders paying attention to this message.

The Russian army has just destroyed a maternity hospital in Zaporizhia. I no longer know what other war crime Russia still needs to commit against Ukraine for the world to see what kind of monster Ukrainians have been standing up to for years in order to save their country.

After 3 years working under Putin’s missiles and drones as our Ambassador to Ukraine, I resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. The America I proudly served for 28 years does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are. But the Trump Admin keeps doing exactly that. 1/3

Hey @FT what’s wrong with you and your geographical and political education? Why are you not using term British Empire for example?

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like. Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRBDT4mB/

This is inarguably one of the most important speeches a Canadian PM has ever given. I hope the world stands up and takes notice. Incredibly impressive and gutsy.

@lasitajs_nr1 Un kamēr “iekonservēts” jārīko Red Bull Flugtag pasākumi pēc iespējas bieži! Izcili piemērots objekts!

No šī varētu izveidot pasaules mēroga mākslas notikumu. Pāļa konservēšanai pasūtīt Vaskam simfoniju, Radio koris ar Mocarta rekviēmu, pilsētā izdziest gaismas. Uz atkonservēšanu Pāļa Atmodas svētki: kori, bērnu kolektīvi, Briškens diriģē Augšā ceļas gaismas pils. Translē ARTE TV

Dear @TheEconomist , have you ever read the history of Latvia's 🇱🇻 Russification crime before publishing this pro-Russification article? Highly recommended to educate your journalists! There is one state language in Latvia! Russian speakers, who do not want to learn the state language, should live in russia! Here the brief history of Latvia 🇱🇻 in the 20th century: The Republic of Latvia was founded on November 18, 1918, in the wake of World War I, during a period when many European nations gained independence from collapsing empires. Latvians—an enduring European people with a distinct language, culture, and identity—established their own democratic state. Latvia’s territory comprises four historic regions: Vidzeme, Kurzeme, Zemgale, and Latgale. The official language is Latvian, one of only two surviving Baltic languages, alongside Lithuanian. This linguistic heritage is a central pillar of Latvian national identity. Occupation and Totalitarian Rule For twenty years, Latvia developed as a democratic and economically vibrant European nation. However, in 1939–1940, Latvia became a victim of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, a secret agreement between Stalin and Hitler that divided Europe into spheres of influence. Under military threat, the Soviet Union forced Latvia into occupation in June 1940, staged sham elections, and illegally annexed the country into the USSR. Latvia’s leadership was deported to remote regions of the Soviet Union, state institutions were dismantled, and the population endured mass arrests, deportations, and political terror. In 1941, Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union and occupied Latvia, replacing one totalitarian regime with another. The Nazis did not restore Latvian independence and carried out their own repressions. Both regimes forcibly conscripted Latvians into their armed forces, often setting family members on opposite sides of the front. World War II ended with the defeat of Nazi Germany, but Latvia was re-occupied by the Soviet Union. The Latvian people again suffered mass deportations, imprisonment, and suppression of political, religious, and civic freedoms. Many families fled to the United States and other Western nations, forming a strong and active diaspora committed to restoring freedom in their homeland. Resistance and Restoration of Independence Despite five decades of occupation, Latvians maintained a spirit of resistance—both armed and non-violent. National partisans continued fighting for nearly a decade after the war. Exile organizations, together with Latvian diplomats in Washington and London, preserved the legal continuity of the Latvian state. The United States never recognized the Soviet annexation of Latvia —an act for which Latvians remain deeply grateful. In August 1991, Latvia restored its independence, which happened before the USSR was declared collapsed at the end of 1991. The Latvian people celebrated the return of freedom that had never been surrendered. Latvia Today For more than twenty years, Latvia has been a committed member of NATO and the European Union—a democratic, sovereign nation firmly anchored in the transatlantic community. Our experience under Soviet occupation informs our clear understanding of authoritarian threats and our strong commitment to collective security. For this reason, Latvians strongly reject the label “post-Soviet republic.” Latvia was not born out of the Soviet Union—it was occupied by it. Using the term “post-Soviet space” risks echoing Kremlin narratives that seek to reassert influence over formerly occupied nations. Solidarity with Ukraine Because of our own history of oppression and survival, Latvia stands unequivocally with Ukraine. Latvians understand, deeply and personally, the consequences of foreign occupation and the price of freedom. We support Ukraine not only out of solidarity, but because its victory is essential for the security of Europe and the transatlantic alliance.

Hey @Air_Dolomiti is it your policy to ignore requests for compensation? My flight was cancelled on 24 Nov and I have contacted your support 5x since - no response. This is not cool at all.

Isn't it ironic that many Brits voted for Brexit to reduce immigration? How did this happen?

I have more respect for flat earthers than communists. Flat earthers are harmless, and everyone agrees they are idiots. Communism keeps getting recycled as virtue despite its body count and total record of failures.

The most powerful military alliance in history, composed of the richest democratic nations in the world, is right next door and has refused to stop this imperialist Russian butchery for four years.

On this day, Dec 30, 2022, Oleksandr Matsievskyi was executed by russian occupiers. His last words were: “Glory to Ukraine.” They filmed it. They laughed. Then they killed him. This is russia. Never forget.

@J_Hermanis Mazliet izbrīna, ka Liepājas daļa tikai mazliet lielāka kā Daugavpilij. Vērojot pēdējo gadu attīstību šķita, ka Liepāja ievērojami apsteidz Daugavpili.

Blows my mind that everyone from post ussr countries, adjacent eeu countries and indigenous Asian nations who are still occupied are like “fuck Russia they did bad things to my people” but some dipshit from Ohio born in 2005 comes on here with “you didn’t read Marxist theory”

Jaunajā gadā novēlu mums visiem beigt izlikties, ka mums ir stratēğiskais partneris un atrast īstus draugus.

Putin invaded Ukraine. Ukraine/NATO never attacked Russia. Putin annexed territory, terrorized civilians, and kidnapped children from Ukraine. Zelenskyy has done none of these things. There is a right side and a wrong side in this war. We should be on the right side.
