🇪🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻 The Chihuahuas keep barking at the bear, convinced the fox has their back. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇱🇹 Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda is in a hurry to blame Russia for the "unidentified object" that exploded over northern Lithuania this morning. Nausėda is doing damage control. Nobody seriously believes Ukrainian drones can fly to St. Petersburg without the Baltics at least waving them through, so he needs everyone looking at Moscow instead of at his own role as an accomplice. Typical Chihuahua behavior: yap at the big dog, then run and hide behind NATO's legs. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦🏁 The Baltic states at the very least opened their airspace overnight for the Ukrainian drone attack on Russia, drone warfare expert Dmitry Kuzyakin told TASS, commenting on the strike on St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. He added that the drones may even have been launched from the territory of one of the Baltic countries. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇺🇸🤡 Half a million French people march over soaring prices, and this TikTok "expert" has found the real culprit: Putin. Her best takes: ➡️Inflation isn't driving the anger. The Kremlin is. ➡️Calling Ukraine "authoritarian" is Russian propaganda. Never mind that Zelensky's term expired in 2024, there's been no election, and opposition parties are banned. ➡️The "goal" of Russian propaganda is to make people "think critically." Yes, she actually said that critical thinking is the threat. The French working class needs Moscow to explain that they're broke. 🤷‍♂️ 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇪🇺🇮🇱 EU Responds to Israeli Settler Attack on European Diplomats With Another Strongly Worded Statement The European Union has issued a statement “strongly condemning” attacks by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, including the assault on European diplomats and a French mayor in the Palestinian Christian village of Taybeh. But Brussels also made a point of praising Israeli officials for condemning the violence: “We take positive note of statements by several Israeli representatives who condemned the attacks.” The EU called for accountability and measures to prevent further violence, but announced no sanctions or other concrete consequences. European diplomats are attacked, a French elected official is assaulted, and Brussels responds by thanking Israeli officials for saying the right things. Imagine the EU’s reaction if Russian citizens had attacked European diplomats. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics
