It is all about which "circles" have migrated. A lot of the people I follow have reported that while having a lot fewer followers, they have a lot more interactions - and a LOT less bot-interference.
There is a fair bit of "eruption chasing" going on. People want to see it up close.
I lived in Iceland in 2010, when Eyjafjallajökull erupted and stopped most of the air-traffic in Europe. I was fortunate enough to go with some friends (in jeeps with very large tires, to traverse a snow-covered glacier) to see the eruption up very close. We were about 200m from the erupting lava. Most amazing nature-experience of my life - by a mile.
The army of USSR just took a field-trip to Poland to protect Soviet minorities!
They then rounded up about 22,000 Polish military officers, took them to the Katyn Forest outside of Smolensk for a lovely picnic - as a show of good will.
How these thousands of Polish officers ended up in mass graves with bullet holes in the back of their heads remains a mystery.
It was never about fear of NATO. It was about expanding the empire - and feeding a autocratic dictatorship that needs a common enemy and distract from the absurdity of having the maybe the country richest in the world in natural resources - and yet a large portion of the population doesn't have indoor plumbing, while an oligarch-elite murders opposition and flies helicopter to get to their super-yacht...
That fact is conveniently never mentioned in the story of how USSR beat the nazis.
The "Great patriotic war", as WW2 is usually referred to in Russia, also conveniently starts in 41 - not in 39. The reason being, that USSR were allied with nazi-germany 39-41 (which is also conveniently never mentioned).
The mass-graves with civilians, hands tied behind their back, gunshot to the back of the head, clear signs of torture, thousands of witness-testimonies. Bucha, Irpin, Izium etc.
And all of it will look like tiddlywinks compared to when we get the full picture of what happened in Mariupol one day.
But if you want to believe it is all lies and evil nazi (or is it satanic these days?) NATO-propaganda, go ahead.
I probably would have been, if it had been myself. However, this was my local Indian director, who is very well versed in navigating Indian bureaucracy. They were just ignorant, completely disinterested in helding and wildly incompetent.
No, this was just incompetence/ignorance on the govts part. My local (Indian) company director had full authority to do whatever he thought was needed.
