The latest developments across the Middle East are perilous.
Iran’s regime has killed thousands. Its ballistic missile and nuclear programmes, along with support for terror groups, pose a serious threat to global security. (1/4)
I love that Wikipedia's edit history is public because it only takes two clicks to get to the very first version of the "ant" article in its entirety from 2001. Happy 25th birthday Wikipedia! You've come so far
Včerejší večer na Špindlerově boudě objektivem Lubomíra Sklenára ♥️
Also the resentment - there is "ostalgia", of course, but not very common. Nobody wants to really go back to times of scarcity (meat, fresh fruits and vegs, toilet paper, menstrual pads - pretty endless list...).
It would be serendipitous if he is one of my schoolmates - I have some friends there too. One of the points on the cantaloupe is - the "tropical" fruits were imported from friendly countries like Cuba, and I am not sure any of these produced cantaloupes...
I wonder which shop in communist Prague sold cantaloupes back in 1980ies... IF there was any, it would be Tuzex - a specialised shop for the privileged (mainly members of the party). The hour-long queues were for bananas or oranges. When they were. 1-2x times a year.
Selective memory at the best.
Yesterday, I had the undeserved honor of saying goodbye to the president and his wife Olena on behalf of the republic. Their visit to Czechia was not only a testament to good cooperation, but also a symbol of our support. I expressed this with many thanks and wishes of strength to the Zelenskys. 🇨🇿🤝🇺🇦

Největší a nejlepší mládežnická politická organizace v 🇨🇿 se sjela v Praze. Mladí lidovci si dnes pod dohledem večeřících dominikánů zvolí nové vedení (AKA vedení KDU-ČSL in spe) a nabijí se energií pro volební kampaň.

A great vote to see where the European political parties stand on the support Ukraine or support Trump and/or Putin scale.
With AI I turned the EP's roll call votes into a table, and it shows
- strong by mainstream parties
- ECR is now split in the middle
- Far-right and far-left against
While the Trump administration is suppressing all signs of gender and diversity, the Swedish Armed Forces are running full-page ads celebrating International Women’s Day.
“In our world, everyone’s effort is of equal worth.”
There is a scenario (probability: 30%?) in which Merz just happens to be a counter-intuitively good fit for the moment. A peculiar combination of curmudgeonly old-West German conservatism, Atlanticist realism, and European romanticism that somehow blasts Europe's caution away.
Good morning from New York. I am at the UN General Assembly to express the prevailing support and solidarity of Czechia to Ukraine, a victim of aggression from Russia.
Czechia stands behind Ukraine, which defends also the principle of rights of weaker and smaller countries to exist. 🇨🇿 🤝 🇺🇦
Dobré odpoledne z ranního New Yorku. Přijel jsem jménem Česka na Valné shromáždění vyjádřit podporu Ukrajině, oběti agrese ze strany silnějšího - porušitele Charty OSN.
Česko stojí za Ukrajinou, která brání i nás proti ruské agresi. 🇨🇿 🤝 🇺🇦 #CeskaDiplomacie
Ano, pane prezidente. Není to vždycky lehký. Ale jsem rád, že Vás mám v kanceláři jako připomínku i vzpruhu.

Today’s sham election in Belarus was neither free nor fair.
The people of Belarus deserve a real say in who governs their country.
On this so-called ‘election day’, I’m hosting Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya with EU Foreign Ministers to reaffirm our support for a free and democratic Belarus.
Moving into a new computer is like moving into a new house or apartment. It's nice, and new, but you're gonna buy new stuff, lose some things, and want to have the old stuff hanging in the same place. And lots of memories.
I liked the dignified connection of the brotherhood of freedom between 🇱🇹, 🇺🇦 and free Belarus. Also that the Baltic revolutions 34 years ago were revolutions of song and prayer. The will to freedom can be stronger than the imperial power and will. Today we sang in Lithuanian and Ukrainian...
Forget-me-not: 14 protesting Lithuanians died during the USSR's attempt to reverse Lithuania's path to freedom on 13th January 1991.
Together with the Lithuanian and diplomatic community we commemorated the anniversary and reminder of the need to stand up against evil at Očenášek's villa in Prague.

Ale i státoprávních základů politické sebeidentifikace české obce. I když dnes jsme od seniorátních pravidel trochu vzdáleni, tak jistá míra hašteřivosti mezi knížaty přetrvává... 3/3
...a oživit si pohled na život a dílo kronikáře Kosmy - přímo na místech kudy kanovník svatovítské kapituly sám chodil - to je dar.
