You don't "join" the Soviet Union. They invade you, send trains full of your people to prison camps, hold a fake referendum and pretend to save you from nazis by killing you. Sounds familiar? Moscow has been using the same script since the night of June 14th 1941. 🇱🇹🕯

@RepMikeLawler Thank you Congressman for this important vote to support our allies!

Being the leader of the free world requires us to lead. The time for choosing is here. The time to act is now. I choose to act in defense of freedom, democracy, and America’s role in the world.

Today, 75 years ago, my family, together with 20,000 Estonians, was deported to Siberia by the Soviets. These crimes should remain a dark chapter of history, but Russia is using the same cruelty in Ukraine. We must help Ukraine win and do everything to hold Russia accountable.

With his passing, a great heart sails on.  A life of immense courage, integrity, and consequence. "Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny dies in prison" nbcnews.com/news/world/rus… via @nbcnews

Let’s make no mistake, Putin assassinated Navalny. He did so because Navalny was brave enough to stand up to Putin. He did so because Navalny offered the Russian people and alternative to kleptocracy and repression. This is a tragic day for Navalny’s family but also for Russia

@stoolpresidente @ArmyWP_Football Go Army! Highest paid federal employee…and he deserves it!

I don't know how @ArmyWP_Football ever loses a game with Jeff Monken's speeches. I fucking love this game.

@bernhardsson Estonia was well on track prior to the Soviet invasion…and they took rapid steps to rebuild from scratch once they regained their freedom. nordicestonia.com/nordic/gdp-per…

Estonia tenbagging its economy in 25 years is pretty remarkable. What’s the secret?

#OTD in 1940, Soviet forces invaded the Baltic States 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹. Fake elections, annexation, mass arrests & deportations followed. This playbook hasn't changed. That's why security remains an existential question to us. #NeverAgain

@AlekMaasik Ma olen sinu üle nii uhke, Alek. Hästi tehtud!

The Evil Empire has been reborn in the East. Russian barbarians threaten not only Ukraine. They threaten all of Europe and the whole free world. This is no mere incident, no coincidence, no maniac’s impulse. Putin has been building his Evil Empire for 23 years, in preparation for this conflict. New Europe understands this. It is time that Old Europe understood it too.

@RihardsKols Thank you from the Estonian diaspora for your courageous words to support Ukraine!

Elagu, #Eesti! Happy Independence Day, dear Estonian brothers and sisters! Keep being bold and brave, and defending your freedom to choose your own path! We’re happy and lucky to have you as our friend! 🇪🇪❤️🇱🇻

@MenInBlazers Hudson Valley soccer is on the Marsch!

Tyler Adams playing like Dutchess County Kante. Can Gregg find a way to set him up to play like this in a US jersey? 🇺🇸🙌

On June 17th 1940 the Soviet army invaded & occupied Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Stalin's emissaries changed the governments, elecions with only Russian approved canidates were orchestrated and mass arrests and deportations begun. They haven't changed their playbook.

For all those saying it’s wrong for the West to supply Ukraine with heavy arms, let me remind you these simple words: If Russia stops fighting, there’ll be no more war. If Ukraine stops fighting, there’ll be no more Ukraine.

PEACOCKS. WIN.

I’m still not convinced people remember that the first impeachment was about Trump withholding javelins and other weapons from President Zelensky unless he did a phony investigation into President Biden’s son, and that every Republican except for Mitt voted to exonerate Trump .

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

Standard Soviet practice. Did the same to local officials in 1940 in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. What they did to them was horrendous. Erkki Tuomioja said if you mention this, you don't know Estonian history. Never forget, never forgive.

Estonia has provided Ukraine security assistance, food, medicine, and opened its homes to refugees. As we celebrate 100 years of diplomatic relations, we laud Estonia’s vibrant democracy & all that comes with it. We will be with you as we all rise to the challenge of the moment.

As snow fell in Medyka today, the WCK team served 4,000 hot meals over 18 hours. Tonight we are setting up a tent and tomorrow will begin providing meals 24 hours a day as families continue to cross the border at all hours of the night in search of safety. #ChefsForUkraine
