At every turn, Greece undermined the G7 oil price cap on Russia at the behest of its shipping oligarchs. Greece is a playground for its oligarchs, even as its fundamentals are - once again - running totally out-of-control. The Greek trade deficit is the largest since 2009...

a cool idea in so many respects! I thought that *all* the Ukrainians think that this war is not Putin’s war but a collective delusion of *all* the Russians. And I am glad this is *all* not true

I see this formula as balanced and fair, but also challenging. Let’s take it seriosly and ask proper questions. Is there any strategic doctine that explains this behavior? Any historical precedent ? Third party at war isn’t a new thing, there should be volumes written on it

a wrong take. Peoples of Russia won’t disappear, and nobody wants it to happen. The Russian Federation, an aggressive state that preaches and practices death, is doomed by its own leaders and institutions

sad to see this coming from a person who has already lost everything — her husband, her country, her home, her mission — to the crimes of *Russia*. No, the future is not connected to that bygone *Russia*. Something else will be there on its place. Fight for it, imagine it, do it

an old but very good thread on an old but very pertinent issue

or to their boss, aka Козырь

The peoples of Russia in a normal Russia of the future must have the right to self-determination and secession from Russia. And yes, no new normal Russia is possible without Ukraine’s victory in the war of aggression!
