“Every such terrorist Russian strike is a sufficient reason for new sanctions against Russia,” —President Zelenskyy Russia is doing everything it can to prolong this war, continues killing every single day “The world may go into the weekend, but the war goes on — regardless of weekends or weekdays

Wow - das ist eine tolle und extrem wichtige Nachricht: In China sinkt der CO2-Ausstoß, weil das Land bei erneuerbarer Energie so erfolgreich ist. Bei gleichzeitigem Wirtschaftswachstum. Das alte Argument "bringt ja nichts, wenn wir was tun, weil China!" hat sich völlig ins Gegenteil verkehrt.

President Zelenskyy in Istanbul: „I‘m here!“

Ich kenne gerade eine Menge Menschen, die es, unabhängig von ihrer politischen Haltung, extrem umtreibt, dass es in Deutschland kaum regnet. Aber ich schätze, das meint Klingbeil nicht.

I take for granted everybody understand the Russian Easter truce is just bullshit, a propaganda thing. Russia will not stop shooting, but it will claim it did.

On the one hand, the Trump administration says it wants Europe to spend more on defense. On the other hand, administration officials, including DC attorney nominee Ed Martin, back pro-Russian European politicians and parties who oppose defense spending www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

France24 published a video from surveillance cameras in a restaurant in Kryvyi Rih on Friday. Russia claimed that the strike was on this restaurant because "Ukrainian military" were there. The video shows that's a lie.The strike killed 20 civilians,9 of them children.

Upon learning that your own mistake sent an innocent father to a brutal prison where he’s likely to be tortured, anyone with a shred of decency would be overcome with shame and fight like hell to get him back. They think it’s funny. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Jemand mit einem Funken Ehre würde nun vor die Presse treten und sagen, dass sie sich getäuscht hat. Syrien ist nicht sicher, man kann niemanden dorthin abschieben, sie würde es auch allen Syrern empfehlen, abzuwarten.

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

Wir als Linke stehen weiterhin dafür, die Schuldenbremse abzuschaffen. Aber wir sind bereit, auch eine Reform mitzutragen. Im neuen Bundestag gibt es demokratische Mehrheiten für eine solche Reform. Wir sind weiterhin gesprächsbereit. Unsere Hand ist ausgestreckt.

It’s time we rearm, reequip and stand ready for Europe’s defence. We will use every lever we have – from adapting fiscal rules for defence spending, to mobilising our EU Budget, to new loans for joint procurement of equipment. We must also step up our support to Ukraine #EUCO

I wonder how to get the German and French Left on board with a more serious defence posture, which would include supporting our Ukrainian neighbors with more weapons. Maybe by combining it with the policy of ending US military presence here? The latter has now lost much of its value anyway.

"American allies urgently need a Plan B for collective security in a world where the U.S. administration prefers Vladimir Putin to Zelensky."

I feel increasingly that Europeans should devote more thought and much more money to defence. It's depressing to have to do this against the background of other crises, notably the climate crisis. But it's urgent, and it will need long-term commitment, too.

Natürlich kann die deutsche Öffentlichkeit sich jetzt noch länger über zu viele Ausländer und Stilfragen im Wahlkampf aufregen, aber in diesen Tagen zerfällt der Westen vor unseren Augen, und als ein Land in unserer Lage sollten wir uns langsam mal echten Problemen zuwenden.
