For those of you who thought this story wasn’t being carried by MSM, it is. I’ve seen it everywhere.

「这些叙事是所有人都能看得清楚的部分。但这里的要点不是叙事本身，而是：这个叙事是给谁设计的？」

"One day after Putin told Tucker Carlson he invaded Ukraine not because of NATO, but because of his commitment to pursue Greater Russia, Trump promised he'd help Putin pursue Greater Russia. …
At a time when winning the election is an existential necessity for Trump, one day after Putin made clear he is seeking not just Ukraine, but Greater Russia, Trump overtly promised to allow Russia to carve up NATO."

Two US citizens currently held in Russia were also going to be part of the deal, Ms Pevchikh claimed.
She added that negotiations were at their final stage on 15 February.

President #Zelenskyy to Fox on #TuckerCarlson's #Putin interview:
"I don't have time to hear more than two hours of bullshit about us, about the world, about the United States, about our relations and this interview with a killer."

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.

The Kremlin banned public and private media from widely covering Navalny's funeral
A Moscow Times source close to the Kremlin and a senior official at a major national publication said that the presidential administration instructed both state television and online media not to cover Navalny's farewell and funeral
Russian private and state media almost completely ignored the funeral of Alexei Navalny

Navalny's team published a video of the people in line to the church. It is several kilometers long.

Emmanuel #Macron being brutally honest in Prague today:
"Who launched the war in #Ukraine? Vladimir #Putin. Who threatens us, whatever we do whatever we say, with nuclear weapons? President Putin.
If every day we explain what our limits are in the face of someone who has none and launched this war, I can already tell you that the spirit of defeat is there lurking. Not amongst us." #Russia #France
Via Matt Duss:
Just putting this here for the folks who claimed the US was prolonging the war by sending military aid to #Ukraine.
Yaroslav Trofimov:
#Putin: “It would be ridiculous for us to start negotiating with Ukraine just because it’s running out of ammunition.”
Republican leadership of the House cutting off military supplies to Ukraine has made Putin drop his pretense about desiring peace talks. He wants it all.
Here's what we're reading today:
Presidential elections have begun in #Russia. #Putin will be re-elected for a 5th term.
According to Ukr intelligence, the Russian DefMin has allowed military personnel fighting in #Ukraine to vote for Putin without even showing up at a polling station. This includes those who have already been killed or gone missing.
This makes it easier to falsify the results.
I haven’t even bothered to post about it because of the framing.
Applebaum nailed it.
Via Anne Applebaum:
It wasn't an "election" in #Russia; stop using that word.
It was an orchestrated propaganda exercise designed to convince Russians, and the rest of us, to ignore the catastrophe #Putin has inflicted on his nation. 300,000+ Russian men are dead and wounded for no reason at all.
Two weeks ago, the US said that it was “monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts.”
Three days ago, #Putin dismissed the warning as “obvious blackmail” intended “to intimidate and destabilize” #Russia.
In any normal country, he’d be done after tonight’s attacks. #terrorism
"[The Moscow terrorist attack] exposes how far adrift and overstretched Putin now is. The safety of his muted, urban electorate in the capital has been entirely sacrificed to his war of choice in Ukraine. Special forces did not race in; they are dead, or busy elsewhere. Even some police have been deployed to the frontlines."

I find it interesting that American news orgs are comfortable referring to European lawmakers as “pro-Russia” or “pro-Kremlin” but when #MAGA chuds spout undiluted Russian #propaganda and run interference for #Putin at every turn they’re called “isolationists.”
