Essentially Putin is all in: his stakes are so high that if he manages to win, he wins everything, and no amount of losses would matter or hurt him.

If he is to lose, he’ll lose everything, including his head, and Russia is likely to enter turmoil.

But many still believe…

Eg skjønar ikkje mykje av konflikten i RU. Men det er interessant at den dogmatiske USA-motstanden, som overstyrer Ukraina sine rop om hjelp, ikkje berre bur i dei gamle AKP-arane i Raudt, men også hos ungdomen. Det burde leiinga for lengst tatt eit tydeleg oppgjer med.

'Du må ha god oversikt over tekstlikhet.' Nei, du må ikke det. Du må bare skrive tingene dine selv. Not that hard..

🧵1/23 This is a long thread, but I want this to serve as a clear & informative reminder of exactly what russia is doing and how it is creating a huge risk for all of us to suffer the same dire consequences, if we fail to collectively take immediate actions in supporting Ukraine.

Tenk om media var like ivrige til å forfølge regjeringens (manglende) støtte til Ukraina, som til Kjerkols masteroppgave...

Kan en som forskningsjukser med forsett være øverste leder for en sektor som først og fremst baserer seg på forskning? Vel, kunne den juksedømte legen Jon Sudbø ledet et sykehus?

Let's face it, Ukraine's largest power station being permanently disabled is really bad. We are witnessing the failure of the appeasers and escalation managers' strategy in Ukraine.

Not providing Ukraine with the means to disable Russian launchers was never sustainable. 1/3

“China is becoming better prepared for war. The U.S. is not…China is engaging in a massive military buildup while the U.S. is lagging behind.

We need to be talking about this on national TV, in the New York Times, on podcasts, and on whatever social media the CCP still…

The world may now be in the foothills of World War 3. But while the autocratic powers are getting ready as fast as they can, the democratic powers seem utterly blind to the disaster that could be looming just ahead.

We live in a world where North Korea and Iran currently are more keen on supporting Russia than the US is on supporting Ukraine. Shame on humanity.

For et opplegg. Nisselueuniversitet. Tenk å gi universitetsstatus til institusjoner som dette. tv2.no/nyheter/innenr…

Escalating Russian attacks on Kharkiv, a major population center that remains largely inhabited, constitute another clear example of how Russia purposefully escalates the conflict without having to fear any reciprocal action from the West. 1/3

Russians are trying to do to Kharkiv what they did to Grozny, Aleppo, Mariupol

Some of the unfair snark directed at Jonathan Haidt’s latest work shows a key weaknesses of the academic community. That the main enemies of a scholar trying to push a key question to the general public, are not misinformed click hungry influencers, but other scholars that do not…

I am over the moon to find out that 'Repression in the Digital Age' has received the 2024 Goldsmith Award by the Shorenstein Center Harvard Kennedy School:

What is the Kremlin's strategy?

The Kremlin’s principal effort is to force the United States to accept and reason from Russian premises to decisions that advance Russia’s interests, not ours.

Når jeg skal vise metodestudentene mine hvorfor de må lære metode bruker jeg den opprinnelige teksten til Wig. Forskningsmetodologi må vi alle kunne, om muligens bare for å vite hvor lite vi egentlig vet.

Heldigvis har Jonas Gahr Støre forsikret oss om at beredskapen i Norge er god. 👍 aftenposten.no/verden/i/LlvgE…

Jeg fortsetter metodedebatten med medlemmer av ekstremismekommisjonen. Det handler ikke om kvant. vs. kvalitativ, men hva som må til for å si noe om årsaker. Også NOU'er må ha sterk metodebevissthet når man skal foreslå tiltak på viktige samfunnsområder.morgenbladet.no/ideer/debatt/2…
