(1/3) NATO’s response to Russia’s violation of Polish airspace with multiple drones should be more than stern words. NATO should declare a no-fly zone over western Ukraine, with NATO assets deployed on the ground in Ukraine to enforce it.
Georgia’s democracy is in great peril. Authoritarian consolidation continues at a rapid pace. And the civil society remains on its own, without much Western support. Crucial to follow @ocmedia.bsky.social and other Geo ind media like it to keep an eye on the developments there. #Georgia #Tbilisi
In my latest for @delphiglobal.bsky.social, I explain why “resets” with Russia have failed and will continue to fail, and what US policymakers routinely misunderstand about America’s most dangerous adversary.

Watch yesterday's event on aid to Ukraine on FPRI's YouTube channel. buff.ly/iFQI4We
Yesterday’s discussion on the role of international aid to Ukraine was a hard one - it was difficult to keep a straight face after seeing the previous night’s devastation from another Russian attack on Kyiv.

Eastern European, in general, and Ukrainian, in particular, leftist feminists have a very different understanding of what Russia is in terms of geopolitics than their Western counterparts do. This stems from very different histories. #BalticWays buff.ly/FKhwNlP
To help us make sense of both the military and political situations in Ukraine, Konrad Muzyka joins Bob Hamilton on this episode of #ChainReaction.
Dr. Olena Snigyr helps us understand Russian Narratives on the West, Ukraine, Russia, and the World in this episode of #ChainReaction.
Mark my words, this was a very clearly planned provocation. A way for Trump and co to feed some serious fuel to the fire of outrage among the liberals and those with enough basic common sense to support Ukraine. He’s trying to incite violence. And he’ll succeed.

If Russian occupation brought good things, you think the Ukrainians would be fighting this hard? They aren’t building luxury resorts on lands they occupy, they scorch the earth and make everything uninhabitable! www.rferl.org/a/maryinka-p...
Tbilisi every night. The PMs statements and his party’s attitude show the Georgian Government is in a war of attrition with its own people. Who will run out of will to fight first. The government has the riot police fighting on its behalf, with tear gas, water cannons and the “law” on their side.
Georgian government is cracking down on opposition and protesters at never before seen rates. Hundreds arrested and quickly sentenced to prison. “Due process” is a joke in #Georgia. These are the consequences of a complete oligarchic state capture! #GeorgiaProtests
Cue expressions of concern about the health of Romania's democracy from Russia, the country busy trying to destroy it.

Mearsheimer has stopped pretending to be a relevant scholar and goes ahead to share platforms with Russian fascists.

People of Georgia 🇬🇪
The hypocrisy of #Georgia government’s shameless English-language press emails never cease to amaze me. The victim-blaming, the twisting of Western partner’s statements… It’s all right here. GD is using violence against pro-EU protesters, again. It’s that simple for anyone with eyes & half a brain!
Elders are also protesting, despite the violence of the Moscow backed government and the risk of mass arrests. The younger protestors are shielding them from the water cannons and rubber bullets. All of Georgia remains defiant. #GeorgiaProtests
Students of Kutaisi International University, founded by Bidzina Ivanishvili, protested against the 'stolen European future'.

Four journalists—Mariam Janelidze, Beka Paturashvili, Mariam Menabde, and Vano Gavasheli—resigned from pro-gov't TV station Rustavi 2. Janelidze told RFE/RL: 'This decision is linked to Georgian Dream halting EU integration & police violence against protesters and journalists.
