I'm seeing reports of potential agent provocateurs planning to infiltrate the No Kings protests and attack cops. Trump goons would do this to blame the left and rationalize invoking the Insurrection Act to ban all protest.

If you don't have credible counter-arguments, then "text to text" is irrefutable as well.

Then Latvia will deport people who are practically citizens. And that justifies deportation? 🤔

It is one thing if the government expects "non-citizens" to learn the language of the host country, but it is quite another if the government requires learning the local language and deports those "non-citizens" who cannot or do not want to learn the language.

You haven't credibly refuted a single one of my claims.

For cynics, deportations can also be humane.

Historiography written by ethno-nationalities is always marked by myths and legends about the "glorious past" of the ethnicity to which the writers belong.

Putin does not oppose Ukraine's membership in the EU, he opposes its membership in NATO.

Yurrtz @yurrtz.bsky.social · 2d

In fact, neither the West nor Putin's Russia ever took the possibility of Russian membership in NATO seriously.

Yurrtz @yurrtz.bsky.social · 2d

The idea of Russian membership in NATO was more of a short-lived utopia than a serious political possibility, which quickly disappeared when the serious interests of both sides proved to be incompatible.

The second part of the text - that they perceive the Russian minority as Putin's collaborators and occupiers, is openly written by supporters of the deportation of Russians living in Latvia in their messages on Bluesky.

I wrote this text. At the beginning I write about the fact that the Baltic states were only a pawn in the geopolitical games of the West after World War I. So I write mainly about the behavior of the West, not about the behavior of the Baltic states, which are insignificant as historical factors.
