If Scholz "returns" the Sudetenland to Germany. If Orban "returns" Transylvania or "upper Hungary". If Austria's current clowns "return" Sud Tyrol - almost any country in modern Europe can play this stupid game. But for whatever reason, with Russia, we pretend it's legit.
@iowahawkblog , caught these two beauties while walking the hard streets of New Canaan, CT. I gather both are European but if you could advise my automotive envy to what models wld appreciate. #DavesCarIDservice

@iowahawkblog don't know if you are aware that the Iowa football program is making inroads in Oxford.
Kamala's national electoral viability was slight long before last week - the fact that voters now know she played a central role in hiding POTUS's rapidly declining mental condition from the public is disqualifying for a wide range of voters, including me. Release the delegates.

@sainsburys - did my best to become one of your customers again. Tried to shop there on returning to Oxford. Tried to download your app. Showed your employee my two attempts we valid Gmail addresses. He couldn't explain and walked off. I guess it's back to M&S.

Hi @iowahawkblog, I thought #DavesCarIDService might take a shot at this whole lineup of faded glories in Helper, Utah.
Hi @RussianEmbassyC : American taxpayer here - and America has never made a better investment of tax dollars than arming Ukraine to fight for its freedom from your primitive culture and humiliating your third rate vodka military. And yeah, these images mean nothing. It's war.

It pervades Russian culture and society at every level. The perpetrators are empowered by the total lack of transparency that couples with the absence of true free speech and free press. It runs right down to the toes of modern Russia.
1/ A major corruption scandal is reported to be unfolding in the Russian Ministry of Defence that implicates several generals and ministers, concerning the hugely expensive construction of Russia's National Defence Control Centre (NDCC) in 2014. ⬇️

Love this. Very decent odds that the older couple in the foreground remember 1968 in Prague. Now they're sending their own armor to help a neighbor against the same malignant power.
🇨🇿#Czechia: You don't often see this on the streets of Prague. Tatra Titus MKPP, KBVP Pandur II 8x8, ShKH vz.77 Dana & Tatra 815 with Božena 5 demining system.

I'd been looking at a hiking stopover in #Switzerland on some travel this summer. Not any more. The Swiss tradition of malignant "neutrality" is about 80 years too old at this point. Needs to die.
#DavesCarIDService got two beauties here from the last month - one up in the quaint old town of Nevada City, the other down in Marina Del Rey.
One of the most interesting, insightful and completely on-point threads I have ever read. If you haven't it read it before you go to bed tonight, you are a failure as a Twitter user and information consumer.
The undeniably broad domestic support for Russia’s brutal attack against Ukraine has baffled and horrified people around the world. How could so many ordinary Russian people fall for Kremlin’s crude and outlandish anti-Ukrainian propaganda? A long 🧵
Excited for the symposium I can see coming out of this: "Hegel & Heavy Artillery: Dialectics on 'Standing With Ukraine' in the Most Abstract Sense"
The war raises many questions. Can violence be fought with violence? Can peace only be established without weapons? We should discuss both questions with respect. But one thing is clear: we support Ukraine so that violence does not become the norm. - @Bundeskanzler Scholz
