Euromaidan demonstrations & Russia's intervention in Ukraine

Finland and Sweden officially invited to join NATO after Turkey's concerns were addressed.

For anyone still thinking that this invasion was motivated by avoiding a larger NATO border mission failed...

I knew Erdogan playing tough guy would not amount to much. He literally gained nothing of merit in the negotiations, only optics for his domestic theater

•Commitment not to support PYD/YPG and FETO.

Easy one, we didn’t do that to begin with

•No embargo and restrictions in the field of defense industry.

This one too is easy because we didn’t have an embargo.

Taking concrete steps on the extradition of terrorist criminals

Meaningless because it’s up to the Finnish courts and law.

Like many autocrats, basically anything Erdogan does is for the benefit of his domestic prestige. The economy has gone downhill under his rule, most Turks, especially the urban ones, don't really love his very conservative brand of Islam, and Turkish families are networked really well, while Erdogan has censored Turkish media, they have absolutely no problem getting all information they need from foreign relatives, so his grasp on the Turkish government is tenuous - he absolutely needs to look good domestically, and he needs to keep finding foreign threats to unite the Turkish people behind him, before they start questioning whether he's doing more harm than good.

Crazy how much the narrative changed in the past few days.

People like Applebaum now openly talking of Ukrainian victory and Putins fall again:

Stay safe Mystats

Thanks I live closer to the German border so I’m somewhat fine, unlucky for the two people that died.

This is just delusion. It’s another arms race Russia can’t win. US are happy and will keep supplying a shitload of weapons. A clash between Russia and the west was always going to happen. The fact that the US is not endangering a single American soldier while weakening and fucking Russia for years to come is priceless. These billions in aid are nothing in that context. Russia will destroy its economy and military while Uncle Biden sits back and enjoys the show, as grim as that is for the proxy nation defending itself in U.S. interest is for this war to continue, probably if I had to guess they were hoping for it to happen

Russian conscript complained
about the treatment.

“We reaffirmed our ironclad commitment to NATO’s collective security, including guaranteeing that the command headquarters for our forces in Europe are going to be in Poland, period.” - President Biden
