Mongolia's former president mocks Putin with a map showing how big the Mongol empire used to be, and how small Russia was
Tsakhia mocked Putin over the weekend and his focus on history to try to justify his invasion of Ukraine.
Putin has frequently used historical borders to justify his brutal invasion, arguing that Russia has a claim over Ukraine even though Ukraine is an independent country.

We are dramatically understating the threat Donald #Trump and the #MAGA movement pose to the security of the #US, #Europe and the world.
It is time to move beyond the political spin offered by #GOP propagandists and Internet trolls and acknowledge that Trump and the MAGA movement are today active assets of Vladimir #Putin and the #Kremlin, as essential to #Russia’s future global ambitions as that country’s own armed forces.

Here's what we're reading today:
The West works on options to retaliate against #Russia for sabotage at military and civilian targets across #Europe.
Russia's intelligence service leads the attacks. They aim to divide #Ukraine's allies, disrupt military supplies to the UAF and test Western resolve.

#Biden calls #America’s democratic values the “grounding wire of our global power” & its #alliances “our greatest asset.” …#Trump, called for withdrawing American forces in #Europe & #Asia & has promised… to cut loose even our closest #allies if they don’t do as he tells them. …Trump sees all countries as unreliable, the relations between them #transactional. That sentiment has spread throughout a #GOP that once championed America’s values abroad…

Every vote not cast is, quite literally, a vote for fascism.
Prague, or Praha, is a beautiful European city to visit. In this image, a rainbow arcs over the city with storm clouds in the sky. Red tiled roofs, clock towers and hundreds of years old architecture grace the landscape.

A useful #WTFistheCouncil reminder I usually have to skip due to character limits or not wanting to scare off normies too much. It's not just our national governments who'd prefer to keep us ignorant about how the #EU works (though they're the biggest culprit), journalists, lobbyists, and a lot of MEPs benefit from it as well.
