10. nov 21 U.S. + Ukraine signed Charter on Strategic Partnership, asserted America’s support for Kyiv’s right to pursue membership in the NATO .The pact made it likelier than ever that Ukraine would eventually join NATO—an intolerable prospect for Putin
@McFaul
Liar. Of course a deal wasn't signed but they were close. This has been reported by multiple sources. But now, after so much escalation and death, all bets are off. Well done!
@Glenn_Diesen
Media uniformity has been the biggest puzzle for me. There were many different meanings pre feb 24 2022 but after that practically none. The "shared responsibility" dissapeared and it's been only Ru bad, UA good.
@ProTrond
@ProfBillMcGuire
Yes, that's what the article says. Shame we've now wasted those 2 years having a completely unnecessary war in Europe that has wrought tremendous environmental damage, North stream methane and massive increase in LNG imports from ME and US.
@Glenn_Diesen
Rosen is a Democrat. That's the really scary part, zero difference between Dems and GOP on Foreign policy.
Presidents make a difference tho, Obama much better than W, Trump better than the average, but I dread the thought of him being elected again :(
@Glenn_Diesen
Keep going Glenn. It's not just Helsinki Committee, just heard terribly biased reporting on NRK radio. It really does surprise me how one sided any discussion of the war is. Without you and a handful of others it would only be anti RU, pro war propaganda.
@Glenn_Diesen
Thank goodness. Maybe we are slowly starting to see some rational thinking in Europe? I still have a hope that hot war may end before winter, with European and to a lesser degree US pressure for UA to negotiate. Ze's gvt will have to go tho.
NATO's war propaganda insisting that weapons/war is the only path to peace is premised on two lies: 1) Russia's invasion on 24 February was not about NATO expansionism, 2) It is not possible to negotiate with Russia
- 25 February (Day 1): Zelensky announced "Today we heard from
@Glenn_Diesen
Keep going Glenn! Editorial guidelines in Norwegian and UK media only allow coverage that continues myth of "full scale/unprovoked invasion". At some point it will change esp with new mobilization efforts by UA. When Ukrs make asylum claims for example.
To the last Ukrainian: "Poland is ready to help Ukraine in getting military-age male citizens to return and help their home country in fighting in the war against Russia, Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said on Wednesday. The Ukrainian government announced rules on
@Glenn_Diesen
Good! Hope other European leaders have the cajones to say the same. Don't expect anything from the Nordics, but Germany should really step up. Industry not only F'd from high energy due to war but tariffs in Inflation reduction act.
@Glenn_Diesen
Not surprised about US/UK but EU's willingness to go along with this madness surprises me. Beginning to remind me of Afghanistan in '80s, US funding of Mujahidin to fight RU occupation. RU left but Mujahidin became Al Qaida :( God only knows what Right Sector will become.
@MikaelValterss1
Good analysis. I think some Scandinavians are genuinely scared because of media portrayals of RU. The hatred of RU among British elites is very apparent, now and back to 1917 working with the whites. In the US I think it's based on "anti communism", prob applies to UK too.
@TarikCyrilAmar
She works for Voice of America, based in DC, but doing her level best to get a Georgian Maidan going. Doesn't matter to her how many may end up dying, just do everything possible to complicate relations with Russia.
@Glenn_Diesen
Except if you are Norway! "How much do you want us to spend on war ships to secure the arctic for you?" $60 BN! "No problem Mister President!" "We'll do anything you ask!"
@RnaudBertrand
UK hypocrisy has no limits. You'd think that embarrassment over Iraq and Libya would lessen strident criticism of Putin over Ukraine but I guess different rules apply for Russia.

@Faglitteratur
Så feil å ikke la Diesen delta i en debatt. Vi kommer ikke videre uten å høre alle sider i en konflikt, så lenger de snakker sant, og han gjør det.
@ShoahUkraine
I think this is also an indication of how harmful many "active ex pat communities" can be. Been that way since '59 with Cubans in Florida, Iraqi's in exile in US and UK pre Iraq 2 war and now ancestors of Ukr living in US and esp Canada.

@Samfunnsviterne
Det er deg som er farlig. Diesen bare fortelle oss ting fra en Russisk perspectiv, liksom Mearsheimer, Freeman, Sachs og mange andre. Da vi kan mulig unngår en stor krig, men du kun ser ting fra US/UK/EU side som vil føre til en stor krig. Straks med siste escalering.
@kvk4
@I_Katchanovski
I've seen Mearsheimer do much better but what really struck me was he and Davis both being combat vets trying to end the war and the women, Dobriansky and Conley, who have never seen combat, arguing for continued war.
@GeromanAT
Whatever RU does I hope it does more to reduce personnel losses. I'm sick and tired of seeing FPV and kamakasi drones targeting individual soldiers.
@eivindtraedal
:) Helt utrolig en ny pendlerbolig skandale har dukket opp. Håper det er den siste. Og hun bør trekke seg fra vervene som Ropstad gjorde.
@MarkSeddon1962
Guardian was very different under Rusbridger. I guess the rest of UK media is so far right, including the BBC which always toes the gvt line, that Katharine Viner can move the Gurdian right and very few will notice.
@StinePaulsrud
Jeg spiser kjøtt, men ønsker gode dyrevelferd og er villig å betale mer. Hvis vi alle spiste litt mindre kjøtt og myndigheter satt krav for bedre dyrevelferd med noe høyrer priser det ++++. Mindre kjøtt > bedre helse til oss og husdyr. Privat og bonde økonomien er det samme.

I think we need to talk more about health benefits of walking and cycling. Losing weight, good complexion, long term physical advantages. I wonder how much widespread car use in the last 40 yrs has led to the obesity crisis?
@Spriter99880
A smart guy who speaks the truth. Thank goodness for Sachs. US has 5x the relative prison population of China. 80K US prisoners are in solitary!
@ChristopherJM
I'm afraid this illustrates why R invaded. There is zero recognition of reality from either side, R or UKR. But maybe both can be persuaded to be more realistic.
@ArmchairW
BBC's Frank Gardner and Economist's Shashank Joshi just said this loss is entirely due to lack of artillery due to GOP refusal to send $60BN and wave after wave of suicidal RU attacks. You'd think they'd be a bit more honest.
@devilsadv0c8
@MyLordBebo
The Z regime needs the war, they staked the future of the country on it, but where is the political opposition? At some point Ukrainians in UA and those who have fled to Europe must realize war is a losing game.
@LevHavryliv
Another reminder: Ukraine didn't control the nukes, RU did, from Moscow. There's a good podcast which explains this: Arms Control Wonk. And they are very pro UA.
@vtchakarova
Your logic makes no sense. US thought RU would give up by now due losses, sanctions and instability for the regime. Loss of NS and inabilility to supply gas prevented DE and others going weak on sanctions. As with the Biden admin in general,. no long term strategic thinking.
@hlidskjalfr
Jeg lurer på hvis Stoltenberg gjorde en feil å være så årlig å si dette. Han var i Europa Parliament og kunne ikke løyve. Det er sannheten, men ingen andre politikere/ledere i vesten har gjentatt dette. Sannheten kommer ut en dag.
Also, for everyone who's been parroting since Feb 2022 that Russia's invasion is "not about NATO," was "never about NATO," has "nothing to do with NATO," here it is from
@NATO
Secretary General
@jensstoltenberg
: Russia "went to war to prevent more
#NATO
close to [its] borders."
@I_Katchanovski
I really can't imagine members approving this much unless US provided at least half that amount and there's no way that will happen if House approves $60 BN before then. They really do want to destroy UA as a country and turn it into a garrison state.

@shashj
He blocked me too when I questioned his overly optimistic UA offensive predictions last year. He typifies UK supposid superiority.

Get used to poor quality UK media Hamze. Clark said at outbreak of Gaza bombing that "unlike Russia, IDF will not target schools and hospitals" 🤡

What are the age limits? I think Germany is refusing to force eligible Ukrainians to return yes? Wonder about the rest of Europe? Estonia will apparently.
@Lavrovskyi
Smarties? You mean people that might know something? You're talking about conventional weapons. The amount of dissinfo from anti RU accounts on here is astounding.
@I_Katchanovski
Media whitewash? In the West? Nahh, I'm sure the NYT, WaPo, Telegraph, Times and Guardian will be covering the rise of Neo Nazi Azov any day now ;)
@I_Katchanovski
Agree. Very little coverage of this in MSM. It remains to be seen if host countries will enforce any extraditions if it comes to that. Are any western countries allowing asylum claims for Ukrainians? It's just temp. residency rights in Norway, recently extended another year.
@Glenn_Diesen
Unless military robots are developed by 2015, I just don't see how this is possible. UA men will refuse to fight if current loses continue.
@RothLindberg
But I learned today that a Swede invented the modern 3 point safety belt. And of course bluetooth and Spotify. Some nice cars and trucks too. Until the clamour to join NATO I really liked you guys, especially neutrality! Why didn't you keep that like Austria?
@bjarte111
@vgnett
Nei, han er en den dummeste. Hun snakker sant i dette tilfelle. Det er den eneste håp for Afghanistan nå. Ingen kommer til å fjerne dem fra makten og Afghanere er desperat. Lindsey Graham er en av de verste Senatorer i USA, 100% støtte til Donald Trump.
En meget trist sak, men myndigheter i California vil ikke utrydde fjell løver. Hvis dette har skjedd med en ulv i Norge, jeg frykter hver eneste ulv ville har blitt drept innen en uke.
@paulmasonnews
He's right as is Sabina Higgins as is Noam Chomsy and countless others, but they are all ignored. Loads of solutions other than esclation. But don't worry there is zero chance of nuclear esclation ;)
@mazzenilsson
Woops. Heard Amanpour on BBC yesterday basically saying war must continue until RU loses in order to maintain democratic world order that has existed since WW2. No mention of scores of US wars, NATO etc,
@CSpange
👍👍Perfekt illustrasjon av problemet: "Folk må kjøre mindre bil, men ikke jeg. Noen andre får spise mindre kjøtt, fly sjeldnere, senke temperaturen i stua. Jeg har alltid en god grunn til å la være" Og jeg vil antagelig ikke stemme på politikere som vil ta fra meg mine goder".

Anyone who supports war over negotiations should be conscripted. Between 18 and 60. Next step is 18-60 yr olds in other countries who support war over negotiations.
