Was 'Nazism' ever truly destroyed?
Was it merely a sub-division within a larger organization?
One finger attached to a hand?
Did ANTIFA organically form?

One step away.
Watching last night's recap of the Trump-Putin summit on Russia's most popular TV talk show. The episode begins with talk of "aggressive" American journalists "who were all about the past," and praising Russian journalists, "who were all about the future."
The host, Vladimir Soloviev, says Melania Trump "was absolutely ecstatic to get the ball from the #WorldCup, which was a very subtle move by President Putin."
And here's @anniekarni in the frame of Kremlin TV.
Yes, I’m watching the #WorldCup2018 final.

Who do you want to win? #WorldCup
I'm all in for Croatia, though France is a much better team IMO.
First time since 1962 that a small nation or one without a rich footballing history makes it to the #WorldCup final. Since then it's always been the usual suspects.

Some big changes in ranking success from 2014 to 2018:
FIFA rankings -8
@AndrewGKYuan -7
538 +4
Goldman Sachs +4
In knockouts the rankings collectively averaged 8.15 correct
✅just above coin flip odds of 7
✅below favorites with 9
Such predictions are fun, but largely futile😎

Why Croatia winning the World Cup would mark the most glorious banter era in football history. (Thread) #cro
Let's start on a high note. Croatia travel to Wembley with nothing to play for while England need just a draw to qualify for Euro 2008. A Scott Carson howler later and Croatia win 3-2 and knock England out anyway.
After an excellent display at Wembley, Luka Modric joins Tottenham and transfers a percentage of the transfer fee to a Dinamo Zagreb director called Zdravko Mamic. Everything that happens next started here.
⚽️ Who are you supporting in the #WorldCup final?
It’s a tough call. France are our neighbours and Croatia are the underdogs.
Croatia are in the lead with 65% at the moment.

#FRABEL thoughts: This #WorldCup is a gift that keeps on giving. This semi-final matchup lived up to its potential, with 22 stars producing excellence all over the pitch. Watching Mbappe play this well on the biggest stage is inspiring and he's younger than me...
Just about every player showed up today for both teams. Do not fault Lukaku, he has been great all tournament, and arguably the best striker during this world cup. Deschamps drew up a game plan to cancel out Lukaku's presence with two world class centerbacks, Varane and Umtiti.
Not to mention, Kante & Pogba were phenomenal in the midfield, blocking & intercepting key entry passes from De Bruyne/others through the middle for Lukaku. Very tough task for Romelu, give full credit to the french partnership of Varane & Umtiti rather than quickly bashing him.

With increased interest in #Croatia due to #WorldCup success, here's a short history lesson about the place:
A Slavic tribe named Croatians came to the area of modern-day Croatia in the 7th century, then promply began having sex with everything that moved for the next 200 years.
A Slavic tribe named Croatians came to the area of modern-day Croatia in the 7th century, then promply began having sex with everything that moved for the next 200 years.
Some scientists suggest the word 'Croatian' means 'friend', which, with all the Netflix & chill going on, sounds just about right. Anyway, after 200 years of bow chicka wow wow with anything with a pulse, a modern-day nation of Croatia was born.
Croatia wasn't huge on offensive wars, and if you ever went to the place, you'd know why. Advisers to the king were like, yo, dude, we have one of the most powerful countries in Medieval Europe, and there are bunch of little ones around us to invade. How 'bout Duklja?

I have a question for those of you who used the temporary high inflation in Egypt and the ongoing currency crisis in Argentina as examples of why IMF reforms, or market driven policies are bad for Nigeria.
Where do you think Egypt and Argentina would be now if they had oil?
Where do you think Egypt and Argentina would be now if they had oil?
Now, let me give you another example. Russia.
Russia has market-driven economic policies. They faced two stressors in 2015 - 2016: sharp drop in oil prices and international sanctions because of their annexation of Crimea.
Each one is enough to crush a country.

Russia went into a recession and rebounded sharply. Few countries can survive that and still hold a successful #WorldCup
Ordinary oil price drop and Nigeria is now home to the largest number of poor people in the world. Imagine if we were also hit with sanctions.

1. In recent days #Moscow passed a two-page document to #Washington that should serve as a basis/draft for a bilateral communique the two Presidents should present after the #Helsinki talks.

This is going to be a long thread. With the successful qualification for the #WorldCup semifinal it seems that now everyone is interested in & an expert on #Cro politics, nationalism and football. Since I've been studying that nexus for years, let me point out a few things /1
Rescuers begin operation to retrieve soccer team trapped in Thailand's Tham Luang cave, head of rescue mission says. #ThailandCaveRescue
A rescue mission is underway to pull out the 12 boys and their coach trapped inside a cave in Thailand. 18 divers (13 international + 5 Thai) have made their way inside the cave to rescue the boys one by one.
And now, a word on 🇷🇺 Russia vs Croatia 🇭🇷 from our sponsor, Sadimir Putin #SadimirPutin #RussiaVsCroatia #CRORUS #RUSCRO #WorldCup2018 #WorldCup
We caught up with #SadimirPutin on his way home after the match and asked him why he hadn’t been able to execute any nerve agents in the Croatian team’s half time water #RUS #RUSCRO #Croatia
Sadimir assured us that he would be sending in Wagner mercenaries to ensure both #England and #Croatia didn’t leave the next match alive, but then he remembered America obliterated their last team of child-killers in less than ten minutes and made a video out of it #SadimirPutin
Russia has made 11 #WorldCup appearances since first entering in 1958 (as USSR). They did come in fourth in 1966.
