    Up to 300 ships have been stopped by Russian forces from departing the Black Sea, leaving one of the key global trade routes for grain virtually blocked. Countries like Yemen may be tilted into full blown famine.

    Stalin's phrase for "national traitors" was "enemies of the people". Internal enemies are very handy: if anything is not going as planned, you just need to find & execute a scapegoat. Miraculously, other Russians will (a) believe that, (b) enthusiastically look for more 'enemies'

    If you've missed this gem - you really should see it. This is what 1935 must have felt like.

    I have translated and added subtitles to the latest video speech by Vladimir Putin from two hours ago. Please don’t let it go in vain - I want everyone to see what a speech of true fascism looks like. No further comment needed, it’s all here, in his speech

    Good🇺🇦news: even a rumour of 🇷🇺 asking for help from🇨🇳contributed to Chinese stocks prices dropping significantly. Hopefully all possible helpers will conclude it's not worth it. Also: I've learned more about economics in the past 2 weeks than in college🤦

    Update: the official reason for blocking 's apps is that it allows 🇺🇦 users a hate speech exception wrt 🇷🇺 "liberators". Not sure I've seen a platform to clearly designate the aggressor before! That makes Facebook an "extremist" entity for 🇷🇺. /53

    Update: so far seems like Russia only disconnected itself from the biggest platforms: Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram. I see LinkedIn also mentioned, but not sure if this is a new measure or smth from years back when they refused to use Russian servers. /52

    Is there some God Complex in Tech competition going on? Transliterated version: "I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat. Stakes are Ukraine". Even as a joke, this is kinda telling.

    Fun fact: Eastern Europe has been ringing bells wrt 🇷🇺 for years, but the West didn't take it seriously. I can see why: the 🇷🇺 modus operandi is so alien, it's tough to believe such twisted logic even exists. But things are pretty clear now, right??? /3

    Another inherent Western assumption is that every leader values at least their own citizens' lives. Again, Putin doesn't. He knows now that 🇺🇦 is badass, but he built a system that will just force him to be back in a few years - only better armed & informed this time :( /2

    A thread👇 on why calls to 'de-escalation' & giving Putin a face-saving exit is a Very Bad Idea. He WILL be back, and not just to Ukraine. Such calls are based on the assumption that Putin, like Western leaders, prioritizes well-being of his country. He just doesn't. /1

    Z-campaign isn't an aberration. It's completely logical. Putin tried to rush Z, but failed because he was misinformed by his own intelligence who didn't want to upset him with bad news. Any "deescalation" is an insane idea. He'll regroup and rush Z again, but now much stronger

    Update: the Anonymous hacked Roskomnadzor, and are releasing 800Gb of its internal files! This is an unprecedented chance to look into the Ministry of Truth. I'm looking forward to analyses! /22

    NEW: is releasing to the public over 360,000 files from Роскомнадзор / Roskomnadzor, the Russian agency responsible for monitoring, controlling and censoring Russian mass media. The two part dataset totals over 800 GB.

    I hate being a prophet :( After I wrote this thread, I saw that UK news yesterday evening also started discussing food. Again: Putin is starving Ukrainians in Mariupol now. He can starve Africa & Middle East next. This IS a world war. And US chickened out wrt the Polish jets 😡

    we support 🇺🇦 because... ❌ we're the good guys ✅ we're the good guys + we know how great it'd be to depend on Putin for oil+gas AND food. And possibly have to fight by ourselves in his next invasion. The good-guys argument alone makes supporting 🇺🇦 look optional. It's not. /1

    I see more and more US headlines about rising gas prices. Humans are generally bad at focusing on short-term vs long-term issues, but this time we just *have* to get it together! Dear Americans: whenever you see the "is it our problem?" mood, please keep explaining the above. /4

    Russia itself exports a lot of wheat (🌍18% in 2019). Ukraine would get that to 25%. That's a lot of countries in Africa, Asia, Middle East to blackmail with starvation (blamed on the West, of course)! Not to mention Ukraine's 🌍16% corn production. /3
