A fundamental lesson I would like everyone to point out that comes out of this story is that evidence-based policy, collective reality-checks and procedural scrutiny in policymaking are critical to overcome the default individual cognitive biases and also that any management structure based on a single person authority is ultimately doomed to develop a positive feedback loop reinforcing these biases until they lead to catastrophic consequences.
He explains how minimal #Russia'n war demands are incompatible with anything #Ukraine or its allies would accept, so the war will likely last as long as #Putin is still president.
Keep this video in your back pocket for "peaceniks" & "realists" (who somehow continue to get platforms & airtime despite its now obvious failures).
The "as long as it takes" messaging from UA's allies makes more sense with this perspective.
Diese #Internet Dienste leben eben gerade ua davon. Auch wenn viele tanzende Teens sehen, sind #Spinner aller Richtungen mMn die ziemlich direkt danach kommen. Viele sagen, das sei Spass aber lassen sich ohne weiteres beeinflussen 🤷♂️
«#Schweiz'er verbreiten russische #Propaganda auf #SocialMedia:
Sie tragen Badges der Wagner-Truppe und verherrlichen auf #Tiktok und #Telegram#Putin's Angriffskrieg. Fachleute warnen davor, dass die Botschaften zunehmend gehört werden.»
SPD-Fraktionschef Rolf Mützenich spricht im "Lage der Fraktion"-Podcast über die Unterstützung für die Ukraine und die finanziellen Herausforderungen für unser Land.
Ich finde gut, dazu mal ein paar Gedanken am Stück zu hören.
Outcome of #Putin visit to #China in terms of economic agreements signed:
✅ Agreement on supplies of Russian topinambour and beef by-products, particularly beef cartilage and stomachs to China
✅ Creation of a new nature reserve “Land of big cats”
✅ Cooperation between TASS and Xinhua news agencies
❌ Construction of Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline was not agreed
To me, these indicate an extremely close and strategic partnership between China and Russia, especially the beef cartilages are going to change the course of the world 😂
It seems bizarre that Putin and Prigozhin apparently had a meeting in the Kremlin five days after the mutiny when Prigozhin was supposed to be in exile in Belarus. After the mutiny, #Putin was all over the place, clearly unable to find his footing. But this story just makes him look weak.
Instead of blaming #Gaza crisis on #Hamas, he said it was "a direct consequence of US desire to MONOPOLIZE mediation functions in #Palestinian-#Israeli settlement.”
Hoping to act as a global #powerBroker, he has proposed to mediate in the conflict.
Toisessa supervallassa jatkokautta presidenttinä hakee toisinajattelijoita listivä sotarikollinen, jolla on kansainvälinen pidätysmääräys voimassa yli 100 valtiossa ja toisessa jatkokautta hakee lähihistorian hirveintä diktaattoria siteeraava tositv-tähti, jonka kampanjalla pyyhkii sitä paremmin, mitä enemmän on syytteitä korkeimmassa oikeudessa vetämässä ja näillä molemmilla on hyvin voimakkaita näkemyksiä laista ja oikeudesta, jotka eivät syystä tai toisesta oikein kohtaa oikeusoppineiden kanssa, mutta heidän sanansa on laki.
The Russian army has replenished its troops by 570,000 people, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on Sept. 12.
If you want to see the Tucker Carslon interview with #Putin before its released, you better go and watch these two Putin interviews:
Oliver Stone “The Putin Interviews” (2015-2017)
Keir Simmons (2020)
Their content is 100% identical as it comes to the merit: Putin continues lengthy monologues about how “NATO invaded Russia” while the journalist sits with blank stare and asks pre-approved questions.
It’s not an interview, as we understand it, it’s a carefully directed show, just as Putin’s “open questions annual press conference” whose sole purpose is to distribute and reinforce Russian narratives. The bait is the most natural humans’ instinct: curiosity, as in “oh, will Putin this time break and say something honest?”
Well, he won’t. Instead, your brain will be infected with Putin’s world view where you yourself have a role of a serf, or no role at all. The benefit of watching these old interviews is that most Putin’s promises didn’t age well and are probably the best vaccine against believing him again.
US Republicans block further aid in budget agreement
Strong support for pro-Putin candidate in Slovakia
Russian ally Serbia moves military to Kosovo border
#Putin is patient, wages a multi-front war of attrition against the West and uses disinformation and the platforms of extremist populists like US Republicans as his tool.
