    My thoughts today are with my Georgian friends. Since I have seen Kremlin's trolls shouting that Georgia started it 10 years ago I remind us all, that not a single Georgian soldier left Georgian territory. And Russia is still occupying 1/5 of Georgian territory.

    These comparisons are very much needed as reminders of what Russia's hostile annexation of Georgia's sovereign territory looks like in the respective borders of other states that often tend to turn blind eye to what happened in August 2008. Russia bore no consequences for that.

    10 years ago Russia invaded Georgia. Today, Russia continues to occupy 20% of Georgia’s internationally recognized territory. Here is a thread showing you what that would look like in each…

    There is nothing Islamic about the burka. Only in a tiny section of Islam is it accepted. In Istanbul where I am most people will mock it much more freely than Boris. But we are supposed to learn about Islam from the European intellectual classes. Please...

    Since 2008 RU has occupied 20% of Georgia's territory. Now let's try a "what if" scenario (with some great maps) via . This is how an occupation of 20% of territory of France, the US and UK would look like. Sobering maps.

    This is important because the joint statement refers to the Russian presence in Georgia as an “occupation”. Up to this point some of the countries in this joint statement (like the UK) refused to use the term “occupation”. Is this a change in policy or did it slip through?

    Good way to make up is to stop invading neighbors (and cheering); stop hacking, doxxing and interfering in genuine democracies; stop killing Europeans, laundering money in Europe; stop threatening European neighbors; stop lying. Not up to Europe to like you if you do these things

    Russians want to make up with Europeans: the ratio of those with negative feelings towards the EU dropped from 55 per cent to 38 per cent in the last two months.
