OTD in 1938 the Austrian Anschluss. A dictator sent his army over the border & later had illegal referendum with rigged result that violated numerous treaties. The West expressed only “concern” which turned out not to be enough to prevent war….
Imagine that happening today.
A good article about the “Finnish model” of #defence. I particularly liked it mentioned the volunteer-run “Soldier’s Home” canteens and explained they represent much more than the best donuts ever.
Also mentions the #welfare state. A good reminder to us Finns too.

Russian fingerprints are all over Orban's attempts to provoke Ukraine before April's vote:
🔹Illegally seizing $80m in Ukrainian bank assets
🔹Sending a team to "inspect" Druzhba without permission
🔹Social media videos claiming Ukraine is threatening Orban's family
1 month to vote day, expect more.
Two headlines. Same newspaper. Just days apart.
According to the *Financial Times*, the Kremlin has backed covert efforts to keep Viktor Orbán in power. Around the same time, voices in Washington described Orbán’s leadership as “essential” for US interests. Different capitals. Same conclusion. 1/2

In the morning, Russia struck the center of Sloviansk with three guided aerial bombs. Two people were reported killed and 11 injured, including a 14-year-old girl. At least six residential apartment buildings and about a dozen cars were damaged.
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
Russia is speaking
Hungary denied a Ukrainian detainee with diabetes and a disability his medication and specialist diet for an extended period. He lost consciousness before receiving medical aid, and was hospitalized after a drug was forcibly administered, causing a blood sugar spike and hypertensive reaction #Europe

If Donald asks Zelensky for anti drone systems, he better wear a suit, ask nicely and say thank you.
Rubio: "Let me explain to you guys, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics"
1/10 If the last few days of Iranian strikes on Dubai have proven anything, it’s that a massive number of people completely despise the city and those living there.
And honestly? There are very good reasons to despise them.

The world is finally seeing what Ukraine deals with every single night.
The chaos caused by a few hundred drones across the entire Middle East last weekend is what a single Tuesday in Kyiv looks like.
Russia has launched tens of thousands of shaheds since this started
Fantastic news, and will revolutionise European travel.
Seeing as we're getting upset the Ayotallah was killed, and seeing as we are the self declared successor state, let's look at some of the heads of state USSR & Russia have killed.
We'll ignore that we tried to kill Zelensky. That just highlights our incompetence. 🧵

OTD in 2015 Boris Nemtsov shot himself in the back 4 times by the CIA a few hundred yards from the Kremlin.
In unrelated events, he had just written a detailed report about how Russia had invaded Ukraine & said we would make them enemies forever...
No wonder Elon is obsessed.

OTD in 1921 the Red Army completed its occupation of Georgia after invading a few weeks before. We had signed a treaty less than a year earlier saying we would never invade.
Over a century later, we maintain the tradition of using a peace treaty as a sign that we will invade.
The hard part about doing propaganda is that the past changes so quickly you have no idea what will happen yesterday.
