🚨🚨 The depth of #Orban's stupidity, treachery and #Russian-friendly politics seem to have no bottom: #Kyiv rightly denounces Budapest of “state terrorism and racketeering” after cash convoy and seven employees detained in #Budapest. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/ukra...

Netanyahu Finally Found a President Willing to Buy Into His Iran Dream The only way for the Israeli prime minister to redeem himself after October 7, 2023, was to turn that calamity into a region-altering strategic triumph. For that he crucially needed the U.S.

Netanyahu has been wrong every time he has recommended some new military action to the US because his interests are more personal self-preservation than security.

Zelensky highlighting the moral and strategic poverty of the USA under Trump. In the last year Trump has ended all military aid for Ukraine, has undermined Ukrainian air defense, has tried to bully Ukraine in handing over territory, and has rolled out the red carpet for Putin.

Israel's closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque is an act of war The holy site is not being closed to protect Palestinians during the Israeli-US war on Iran. This is part of a broader strategy to destroy the status quo

That is really true — but also we live in a society that equates financial success with 'doing a thing well’. Most creative people WANT to be communicating with others, no matter how much they enjoy the process of what they make. If no one seems interested it is really hard to keep doing the thing.

My children are freezing & starving 🥶🥶🥶 Their little bodies can't withstand this cold & hunger. I lost my husband in the war, I have 3 orphans whose basic needs I can't afford. I urgently need 150 euros. If 10 people donate 15 euros, it can save us. Please don't ignore us

Have to say, I have never been anywhere where people are so scared of each other — and so willing to blame misfortune on the victims — as the US. A couple of months was enough to make me never want to go back.

It also means authors have to do most of the promotional work, developing a range of skills that have little of nothing to do with their actual job — writing books etc. Some people are good at posting to grow a following — most simply aren’t.

lol you can keep telling yourself this, but you are deluded. You are a demonstration of just how poor your education system is because you have obviously not been taught any history or read any non-RW media. This is just more of the US same but without a propaganda figleaf.

The UN has warned of total collapse in Cuba. This is deliberate punishment imposed by the most powerful nation on earth on one of its poorest neighbours that dares to have a different political system. Australia should not stay silent while bully USA starves the people of Cuba.

As violence spreads across the Middle East now more then ever we need our Government to be a force for peace. That starts with withdrawing support for US-backed forever wars.
