Israel—a terrorist state committing genocide in Palestine backed by the US, Canada, and the UK—has just destroyed the office building of the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation in Gaza as retaliation a day after Belgium announced it would continue to fund the vital humanitarian work of UNRWA.
Knowing US MAGA Republicans, Donald Trump, and House Speaker Mike Johnson have procedurally blocked all US military aid to Ukraine, Putin is depleting Ukrainian Air defenses by overwhelming it with missiles; 110+ Russian rockets last night alone across Ukraine!
Putin and the Republicans will leave the Ukrainians defenseless against the Russian barbaric onslaught!
Remember Sanna #Marin, former Prime Minister of Finland? One of who's noticeable achievements was getting #Finland into #NATO. She's landed a job at the Tony #Blair Institute for Global Change.
Of course she has.
The Finnish people lose their neutral status and get automatically dragged into a war if one breaks out between the US and Russia, and as a result likely destroyed.
She get's a job at a war mongering "think" tank that promotes US hegemony for her service.
"It’s frankly scandalous that #Russia, after having terminated the Black Sea grain initiative, is blocking and attacking Ukrainian ports. This must stop."
I totally agree. #NATO must send the navy to open the #BlackSea ports. But of course, they are all words and no action, scared of boogeymen #Putin and his mafia state of #terrorists. What a bunch of cowards NATO turned out to be. Totally useless.
1 reason why #Trump's comments about abandoning #NATO matter are, 1st & foremost, bc he ordered GOP to abandon #Ukraine which virtually all near-Ukraine allies think makes them next
He is, in front of our faces, delivering Ukraine up to Putin as a gift.
But the other reason it matters is bc we SAW this call-and-response in '16 & '20, when Trump got help from Russian spies
Vivek Ramaswamy, a candidate for the presidential nomination from the Republican Party of the USA, who is in the top three in terms of popularity among Republican supporters, promises to recognize the Russian occupation of Ukraine and block its path to NATO if elected president.
"Biden has steered the country out of a #recession and #pandemic, gotten through a slew of critical legislation (some bipartisan), avoided a default on the #debt, set the stage for about 14 million new #jobs and overseen a resurgence of manufacturing. Internationally, he has restored the #UnitedStates’ image and solidified and expanded #NATO in defense of #Ukraine.
He wants control over the military.. He wants Putin to give him that control.
Putin may be in on this to get rid of Gerasimov and Shoigu without dirtying his hands... Call the troops back from Ukraine once they're gone.. And try to save his own ass by riding the coattails of Prigozhin...
The Russian military has turned to “mass recruitment” of women from prisons and detention facilities to fight in the Ukraine war.
The first group of 50 incarcerated women was sent to the front in January from a detention facility in the Luhansk “people’s republic”, according to Olga Romanova, founder of the Russia Behind Bars human rights organisation. #AureFreePress#Ukraine️ #Russia#Putin#EU#NATO#Zelensky#war#news#Moscow#USA
Thinking in scenarios, what would europe / NATO do if Russia decided to damage /destroy most undersea cables which are essential for our internet and networking in Europe? They have the undersea capabilities, it would not trigger a nuclear war. What would/could we do in response ? #Geopolitics@geopolitics#underseacables#internet#russia#eu#NATO
#Russia uses drones made by #Iran to destroy civilian infrastructure and murder civilians in Ukraine. Yet, Ukraine does not declare war on Iran.
So why is NATO afraid of Ukraine using its weapons to strike military targets in Russia? Is NATO really such a cowardly bunch that they fear a Russian attack? Something doesn't sound right.
#NATO needs to grow up. Stop giving Russia sanctuary. Give #Ukraine long-range missiles and let the Ukrainian army strike where the #RussianWarCrimes come from.
Khrystyna and Svitlana were singing in the street in Zaporizhzhia an hour before a Russian missile strike on the city, and this video of them was filmed.
One of them died yesterday at the site of the strike. She was 19 years old. The other girl died in the ICU today. She was 21.
There is a story circulating that during his long and continuous stay on the Ukrainian front, Prigozhin met with Ukrainian intelligence officials and representatives of the CIA.
To anyone wondering why the West is not making a big deal out of a drone hitting Romania, I have an explanation in this video. NATO believes they have a winning strategy toward Russia, and they don’t want to spoil that by getting distracted from winning. https://youtu.be/EeP_ZZbBIl4 #Russia#Ukraine#NATO#Romania
Tomorrow evening in #Lithuania, the White House confirms, President Biden will join a bilateral meeting with President Erdoğan of #Turkey who was recalcitrant to allow #Sweden to join #NATO.
One reason you put out a policy of abandoning democracy before the election is to increase the likelihood that those who hate #NATO will interfere on your behalf.

EXCLUSIVE: #Trump and his team are actively planning to pull the United States out of NATO — or, barring that, kneecap the collective defense provisions at the heart of the alliance.
