Good thread on the sinking of the Moskva, the Russian warship of Snake Island fame. “Русский военный корабль, иди…” 🇺🇦

Good morning Twitter. It appears one can comfortably assert that on 13 April 2022, a new piece of naval history was written in the context of this terrible affair that is the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A thread on the RFN cruiser Moskva (pennant No

If you don’t have any commitments for the next several years, I’d recommend Kotkin’s 3-volume biography of Stalin.

An essential read on why this war is about so much more than NATO membership and why settlement will be so challenging. There’s much more historical and cultural baggage than most armchair strategists and amateur negotiators realize.

1/7 🧵There is much discussion over when and how a peace deal should be struck on Ukraine. These are things for the people and leadership of Ukraine to decide. It is informed by more than the destruction of cities. It is rooted in a history of colonia

An important @JoDemocracy article by @mdyczok on the extraordinary battle that "Ukraine's information warriors" are waging in defense of their country and its freedom. Well worth reading.

Excellent thread by @WarintheFuture on gene mismatch between Russia’s strategy, objectives, resources, and outcomes in the first 2 weeks of its invasion.

Tweet Mar 9, 2022
Thirteen days since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. Today I examine reports that Russia has committed 100% of forces assembled before the invasion, including what it means for their campaign. War, among other things, is also about maths. 1/25

Insightful thread by @kurtwshaffer on infrastructure barriers to a rapid reorientation of Russian trade toward China. Worth a read…

Tweet Mar 4, 2022
There’s some belief that Russia can simply pivot its trade to China/Asia and experience next to no side effects of Western sanctions. This is not true by any regard twitter.com/RTPerson3/status/1499710549436809218
