Oh hell, I guess there's nothing left to do but to move over to @IlvesToomas.bsky.social. It seems civilised there. Hope it lasts.
Will be double posting for awhile weaning myself off this hellsite.

Toomas Hendrik Ilves From Estonia. Where Digital is Native. And come in at #2 in the world in internet freedom. @[email protected]
- Accepting apologies now here for all the patronizing nonsense from Western Europeans I had to listen to for 31 years telling me we Estonians were "paranoid" about Russian behavior.
- Estonia is a small country but for our population our losses were up there with US's and UK's. As president I went to every funeral. You can write off Trump's inanities to IQ but a man with a Yale law degree says this??? What an absolutely disgusting thing to say. Apologise.There's a real - and growing - outrage over these comments. It's worse in some ways than the Munich speech. Europeans died in American-led campaigns. They have been active in multiple theaters. Vance's insult won't be easily forgotten
- There are a lot, really A LOT more Russians in Germany than Iranians. How come we don't see a 100K demonstration in Berlin protesting Putin's war? Instead we see them harassing Ukrainians who fled to Germany from the atrocities and war crimes of the Russian army.incredible gathering of iranians in berlin today to protest the brutality of the islamic republic
- “Great! No more tedious US lectures on rule of law, fair trials, evidence, equality before the law, transparency, corruption, free and fair elections” — some 130 governments around the world right now.
- So the new DNI, in releasing the sealed transcripts, seems to prove Flynn did worse just than lie to the FBI, and brings the whole issue of collusion back to the front burner. Somehow I don't think this was what the White House really wanted with its Friday post c.o.b. news drop
- Fox News sued for 'willfully and maliciously deceiving public' about the dangers of the coronavirus
- Kick them out of Schengen Immediately. This is the last straw. Hungary becomes the EU largest internal security threat.Hungary will now flood the EU with Russians.
- Every serious media outlet in the West tomorrow morning needs to ask what Scholz, Macron, Orban and Biden et al. have to say about the Bucha massacre. And what they are going to do about it. @nytimes @washingtonpost @faznet @lemondefr @hsfi @SvD
- Yes, Switzerland, you are SO neutral. Russia is firing ballistic missiles at civilian apartment houses today. Killing civilians. But you are neutral. You don't take sides between rockets and children. Disgusting. Toomas Hendrik Ilves President of Estonia 2006-16Switzerland has blocked the supply of Aspide air defense systems to Ukraine The Swiss had NO problem selling air defence systems to Qatar to protect stadiums during the soccer World Cup Even if 🇮🇪 wanted to send Mowag Ambulances it would be blocked avia-pro.net/news/shveycari…
- Funny, the countries that didn't get tariffs: Russia North Korea Cuba Venezuela Berlarus Somalia Burkina Faso are, except for Cuba, which abstained, the same countries the US voted together with against the UN resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 🤔
- I'm always amazed how people with lots of money think having a lot of money generalizes to thinking you're a genius in all other areas, in this case foreign and security policy. This is the essence of Trumpism.Ukraine-Russia Peace: - Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people. - Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake). - Water supply to Crimea assured. - Ukraine remains neutral.
- Using precision-guided missiles to target residential areas tells you all you need to know about Russia.
