CLASSICS With my new best friend – this beautiful edition of the History of the Peloponnesian War, just just just published. A classic is a classic because it’s timeless. And going back to the foundations is always a good idea. #Peloponnese #Thucydide #Athens #Atenas

Faith belongs to the most intimate dimension of every individual. I do not belong to the Catholic community. But I fully understand the aggression that this post represents. 👉🏼 This post is an aggression to all religions. I also know how a democracy works. And how it doesn't. #farRight #populism

🇨🇦 CANADA The first results give the #LiberalParty 167 seats (172 needed for the majority). A stunning result, unthinkable just few months ago. This is good news for Canada, for the Americas and for Europe. Gov’ts that stand for int’l rule of law, trade and global institutions – as simple as that.

🇨🇦 From Brussels, wishing Canadians an excellent voting day! Hoping that the #LiberalParty wins the election – and that @mark-carney.bsky.social and @melaniejolycan.bsky.social, as well as the rest of the Liberal government, stay in office 🍁 #Canada #RuleOfLaw #liberal #progressive #Carney #Joly

I do hope that this talk brings good news for the international #RuleOfLaw and for Ukraine’s freedom and full territorial integrity. On President Trump’s recent post: I’ll believe this only and if I see concrete actions that make Ukraine win the war – and that make Putin lose it.

🇦🇷 Viktor Orbán, que desmanteló el #EstadoDeDerecho y que describe Hungría como “democracia iliberal”, acaba de hacer pasar una enmienda constitucional para prohibir el Pride y limitar derechos. Si hay una, la política exterior del Presidente Milei es esta. #populismo #farRight

#NATO IS MORE THAN DEFENCE The Marshall Plan and the EU thrived on the security provided by NATO. Today, in Ukraine, the victory of a dictatorship over a democracy would strengthen autocracies. Read the new article by RPerson and @mcfaulmike.bsky.social www.journalofdemocracy.org/online-exclu...

Rather than following the constitutional procedure, President Milei's government appointed 2 judges (of 5) for the Supreme Court. By decree. This isn't separation of powers. And this undermines democracy. #populism #farRight #RuleOfLaw

🇦🇷 El apoyo de Trump/Musk al Presidente Milei se daría si Musk, entre una foto y otra, invirtiera en nuestro país. Como no hay seguridad jurídica y hay Lijo, no lo hace. La decisión de EEUU respecto de CFK es irrelevante y se limita a la comidilla para la tribuna. #populismo

THE REASON OF THE WAR 👇🏼 #StandWithUkraine #PutinWarCriminal #MakeRussiaPay

submitted 101 days ago • 0 comments

The only reason why there’s a war is because Putin’s army invaded Ukraine and is still there, killing people. Putin must ask his army to leave Ukraine asap. That way the war would end immediately.

The @uva.nl, formerly Athenæum Illustre, was founded on the 8th of Jan 1632. Today, its main campus is a big bigger than back then. My memories at the #UvA are very close to my heart. Not only the studies – it's also the sense of belonging to a community. Happy 393º birthday! #DiesUvA

I've always been fascinated by the #ChristmasTruce. Dec1914, WWI: a group of German and British soldiers stopped fighting and left their trenches to spend a nice time together, exchange chocolates and cigarettes, share their stories, and even play a football match. Right here 👇🏼
