Phenomenal, glorious moment if this happens but also risks backlash

This move will just push them harder towards keeping Crimea

Good, let them send troops to Crimea while Ukraine retakes Kherson

The Russians aren't sending their brightest

I mean this was literally happening to Ukraine on a weekly basis for like 3 months straight

Another one last week because someone thought it would be cool to record themselves doing a drone strike and gave away the location and communication software one of their drone operation bases

Never forget the raid on the Reddit battaillion

I'm so happy democratic countries are coming together to do democratic things to fight against authoritarianism and fascism

Ivan The Terrible spinning in his grave

Click bait and misleading, this is what the law actually does:

No one will be banned from speaking Russian in public. It will no longer be legal to ask for mandatory Russian knowledge for jobs, and public serviced will now only be in latvian

Russian business owners were trying to discriminate in favour of Russians rather than considering younger Latvians who speak Latvian and english

Trying to limit the language of modern fascism is fascist

God bless those who stand against Russian aggression.

You can't limit peoples free speech and expression

The law itself doesn't even do that. It's actually anti discriminatory

I just don’t like the narrative that because free countries have authoritarian elements from time to time that that somehow invalidates the struggle of democratic states against the authoritarian ones. It’s very much a real struggle

True. Its nothing on half the s*** russia have done even if it was that bad. But we are better than that

That’s my point. The UK imprisons people for speech. That’s bad and authoritarian. The UK is still on the whole free and non-authoritarian, whereas societies like Russia, China and Cuba are wholly authoritarian.

Lmao sure

Look at the text of the bill itself if you don't believe me. May have to learn latvian for it though

OK national endowment for democracy, we need you now

Ukraine cannot hit Belarus as doing so would finally give Belarus a valid reason to enter the war, opening a new front that Ukraine can't afford

Belarus is believed to have not joined the effort due to Lukashanko's fear of uprising if they did

I could have sworn they were already using Belarus air space for attacks via aircraft.

I think this tweet is implying thr movement of missiles there too, and an intensification of those attacks
