Putin's domestic propaganda enables the mass murder of Ukrainians, claiming they are 'not a real nation' and 'nazis' that have to be destroyed...but here's the thing...WE fund and enable it...(1/2)

"What can I do about #Ukraine?" friends in the West keep asking me. Donate, of course. But also just give it the gift of your attention. Make an effort to understand root causes of this war. This thread is a great place to start 👇🧵

Putin will go as far as possible. Ukraine is the start. Other parts of Central Europe next. The US is the 'great enemy' that needs to be humiliated. Yet our sanctions let many Russian banks off hook. We're not touching his real power: oil. We're just not getting what's at stake

“This is Moscow’s way of war. Mr. Putin’s forces will continue to terrorize the country to induce surrender. If they don’t succeed, they will burn it all down. It’s either bow or vanish; no third option is allowed.” nytimes.com/2022/03/02/opi…

" Studying the ancient world helps us look at ourselves, and our own problems, afresh and with clearer eyes.” @wmarybeard Classics need to be elitist--take it from me, whose grandmother had no education and did not read or write, in Cantonese or English. theguardian.com/education/2021…
