Growing up next door to an aggressor, you don't take freedom for granted. As a young Latvian shares, Ukraine isn't just fighting for itself—it’s breaking a cycle of occupation so the next generation across Eastern Europe can finally live without looking over their shoulder.

The sheer scale of russia’s war in Ukraine has created a massive, permanent byproduct: hundreds of thousands of battle-hardened veterans. But as the frontlines grind on, a darker global trend is emerging, these men, and the infrastructure behind them, are becoming a permanent export. 🧵

For putin’s birthday, they killed Oleksandr, Kyrylo and Serhii, all aged one, and eight-year-old Maksym russians want to murder Ukrainians for daring to exist. For refusing to surrender their freedom, sovereignty, and country to moscow. Ukrainians don’t want to be murdered by russians.

Schröder. Maaßen. Now Hanning. These aren’t isolated scandals. It’s systemic and ongoing for decades: the German government and security establishment are compromised. This case was discovered by accident. Anyone who thinks we’ve found the last breach is kidding themselves.

The thing about “Russia experts” like Ragozin is that their analysis makes zero sense when you step back from the news cycle. They rapidly shift their tone, messaging, and underlying logic to whatever best amplifies Kremlin narratives to Western audiences at the edge of the current Overton window.

USSR-Germany partnership began 1921, with Lenin signing economic-industrial-military cooperation. Germany rebuilt the Luftwaffe in russia, breaking Treaty of Versailles, USSR built up its airforce. Technology shared for tanks, joint chemical weapon programs. 18yrs that led to Molotov-Ribbentrop. 🧵

OTD, 1st September 1939 - 87 years ago. Nazi Germany invaded Poland, marking the beginning of World War II in Europe. Warsaw fell on 28 September after weeks of resistance. Sixteen days later, the Soviet Union invaded from the east. WWII would continue for nearly six years.
