#Rutte emphasized that the deployment of nuclear weapons in space would be a serious violation of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which prohibits the use of outer space for placing weapons of mass destruction

This treaty, initiated by the #United_States and the #Soviet_Union, is intended to ensure the peaceful use of outer space and to curb the arms race between superpowers

WELT · Mark Rutte: Nato-Chef warnt – Russland könnte im Weltraum Atomwaffen gegen Satelliten einsetzenBy Christoph B. Schiltz

"It's really hard looking at these photos. It really is."

Prime Minister of #Belgium #Bart_De_Wever could not hold back his tears after seeing photos of #Russian atrocities in #Bucha and shared his personal story:

"I have quite a special bond with this country [#Ukraine]. My father was a regular visitor following the collapse of the #Soviet_Union. He travelled the country by train, made numerous friends, and they also visited us in #Belgium to do odd jobs to earn a little cash."

#Ruben_Brekelmans said, citing the #Dutch military intelligence service

#Brekelmans noted that #Putin has often expressed his desire for revenge for the collapse of the #Soviet_Union and to restore his sphere of influence, concluding that "#Putin has the intention, capabilities and interests to continue his aggression beyond #Ukraine."

"We don't know exactly how #Putin will test #NATO. But we do know that if #Putin attacks a neighbouring country that belongs to #NATO after #Ukraine,

situation in the #United_States.

Their example was followed by philosophy professor #Jason_Stanley, who specializes in the study of #fascism and propaganda.

In 2021, #Snyder, #Shore, and #Stanley co-taught a course at #Yale called “Mass Incarceration in the #Soviet_Union and the #United_States.” All three attributed their decision to leave #Yale to the political climate in the #States.

"Has there been a deal that #putin didn't break?"

In the course of 26 years, #Putin has broken 190 deals - military analyst #Michael_Clarke.

"The biggest one of all, I suppose, was 1994, the #Budapest_Memorandum, which is when #Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons that it had inherited from the old #Soviet_Union, and #Ukraine was the one country that could have used them," he said in an interview with #Sky_News.

"Careful, the drunk at the bar is mumbling!" 🤪

#Medvedev warned #Russians against "collective chillout."

He believes that this could lead to disunity and then to the disintegration of the state and war.

"And let's face it - what we've got and what caused the special military operation to begin are ultimately the consequences of the collapse of the #Soviet_Union," he said.

A glimpse into the ideas and intentions #Russia is promoting to its people.

"#hitler, a predecessor of #Macron? 🤔 Did #Macron ever join forces with #hitler and invade #Poland? No, that would be the #soviet_union, which was the actual predecessor of #lavrov!" 🤡

Yesterday, #Lavrov called #Hitler and #Napoleon "predecessors" of President #Macron:

"Unlike his predecessors who also wanted to go to war against #Russia, #Napoleon, #Hitler, Mr. #Macron does not do it very gracefully because they directly said that #Russia must be conquered, and #Russia must be defeated.

"TRANSLATION: I'm happy being poor, please don't arrest me!"

A #Russian woman says she thinks positively of #Putin, believing that he has "gathered the remnants of the #Soviet_Union."

To survive with her pension, she has to go through garbage containers.

This is the paradoxical thinking of many #Russians: they praise #Putin for his geopolitical successes while living in poverty. They don't notice any discrepancies in this.

The 85-year-old “magician and sorcerer” restores his vision with the songs of #Alexander_Malinin and treats allergies with bleach.🤦

ℹ️ During #perestroika, #Kashpirovsky became a kind of #Soviet#Rasputin”, a symbol of devastation, poverty, and a lack of quality medicines.

Well, apparently it’s time for #Putin’s “superpower” to go where #tsarist #Russia and the #Soviet_Union have long been.

This passion arose in me thanks to my family, who always shared with me stories about the trials our ancestors went through as a result of the world wars, the #Holodomor, and the #Soviet_Union Also, my parents are raising two more sisters, and we have an incredibly close-knit and harmonious family. My family is an inexhaustible source of support that can not be compared to any other. They are the biggest lifeline in my life that helps me overcome any obstacles."
