Your leaders call these "hybrid attacks". Because if they called them "attacks" you would expect them to do something about it. p.dw.com/p/5IMQA

Adding some social context to Vlad's take here: This firing started a mass protest the likes of which weren't seen even for the NABU scandal last year. 1/2

My blinding footballing insight. Prepare yourself: Attackers are as strong as their strongest moment. Defenders (and goalkeepers) as strong as their weakest moment. I will not be taking questions at this time.

The listening crisis means that adults in our culture often have a child’s view of what motivates other human beings.

Stockholm, Warsaw & Helsinki as a result of NATO Power. Vovchansk as a result of Russian power. Proving the 2 sides are exactly the same

What? There’s a shred of humanity there, meaning that not all of them thrive on being hated?

Vlad's always preempting deeper conundrums for us to face withing the coming decades🫠 trump is like a cartoon villain in terms of entertainment + cruel greed of his actions. What will his ideological successors bring to the table? No matter how hard it is now, don't forget - theres more to come🐘

Good example of how excessively neutral language favours the aggressor's position by creating much more uncertainty about what's actually happening. Yes, the agency is striving to maintain diplomatic channels for both sides. That doesn't excuse them from implying both sides are equally culpable.

Whatever happens, I just hope US institutions and citizens manage to have him step down by the end of his term. If earlier - even better ❤️‍🩹

Modern wars make big losses inevitable for any army. As noted by Yigal Levin, NATO no longer has a designated supply of 'cheap frontline troops', as it was back in the late 40s. russia has already sent more than a million of their troops to hospitals and morgues. They have the troops. Do we?

Sounds rather provocative. Can't see it happening within this administration, but who knows. Mass killings of opposition are good for wakefulness ig

One-third is the cursèd number in political psychology: in many Western countries over the past century, ~1/3 of the population prefer authoritarianism to democracy. That's about the proportion of Germans who voted to make Hitler Chancellor & even now in Europe, 1/3 of whites want authoritarianism.

Snippet from magazine interview with political psychology professor Karen Stenner.

Question:
Your analysis of the 2016 EuroPulse survey, which was conducted in all 28 European Union countries plus the United States, concluded that 33 percent of white respondents were predisposed to authoritarianism, while 37 percent were non-authoritarian and 29 percent were neutral. What types of responses led you to conclude that someone had an authoritarian predisposition?

Answer:
I usually gauge latent authoritarianism with a low-level measure of fundamental predisposition: typically, respondents’ choices among child-rearing values. For example, when asked what qualities should be encouraged in children, authoritarians tend to prioritize obedience, good manners, and being well behaved over things like independence, curiosity, and thinking for oneself.

Pitting this bare-bones measure of authoritarianism against any variety of conservatism, and the whole roster of sociodemographic variables—including education, income, gender, class, and religiosity—I have shown that authoritarianism is the principal determinant of general intolerance of difference around the globe.

Pedantry alert. I much dislike phrases such as ‘everyone will react differently’ when what is really meant is that we can’t assume that everyone will react the same way. After all there probably are not all that many different ways of reacting.
