Jedes europäische Land hat offenbar seine eigenen Russenpropagandaschleudern und Opfer-Erzähler. Für Estland war es Sergej Tsaulin.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce Russian propagandist Sergei Tsaulin. He’s best-known for spreading pro-Kremlin narratives in Estonia, fleeing to Russia after breaking several laws in Estonia, and almost getting blown up by a bomb in St. Petersburg.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll talk about the takeover of social media by illiberal, populist influencers. For the last ten years, social media has been dominated by these voices and it is one of the main reasons for the political rise of people like Trump and Orban.

Dans la Soupe Vatnik du jour, nous vous présentons une propagandiste russe, Xenia Fedorova. Elle est connue pour avoir dirigé les médias d’État russes en France puis commis un livre pour se plaindre de leur fermeture par l’UE après l’invasion russe de l’Europe.

1. In this thread I will talk about the "NATO expansion" argument. A lot has been said already but with this thread I will dig a little deeper than almost any online analist has.It will consist of two parts, in this first part I'll focus the 'promis' itself and previous historic context.

I paid €28 for a private Covid booster jab in Germany a few weeks back. The pharmacist was suitably puzzled when I said the jabs are not even available privately in the UK. Never mind the price, never mind vax having to be destroyed as past use by date.

Looks like it's going to cost £45 for a COVID booster jab if you're under 75.
(Oh, and they are going to be throwing vaccines away)
(Oh, and they are going to be throwing vaccines away)
I’m 65 soon. No covid jab for me for another 10 years. Thanks, JCVI. (I of course will get mine privately but protection against this sometimes-ghastly disease should not be a middle-class privilege.)
