Excellent to see this out! @avindman.bsky.social compellingly puts forth the case for a neo-idealist foreign & security policy. We should treat our values as our interests & arm ourselves to ruthlessly pursue them. Great to see #NeoIdealism getting take up & taken on…

There you go! Ukrainian Parliament reaffirms President Zelensky's position as President.

Musk & Trump are pure evil.

Meduza and Mediazona can now reveal that an estimated 160,000–165,000 Russian soldiers, officers, contract troops, mobilized personnel, and other fighters have been killed since February 2022. meduza.io/en/feature/2...

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić said he voted for the Ukrainian-European resolution in the UN by mistake: "I think that Serbia made a mistake today,I apologize to the citizens for that&I bear the blame for it myself,because I guess I'm tired& burdened,Ican't get everything done,"he explained

My first offer for this strapline was that people who try to please Putin by doing everything he wants *sometimes* live to regret it.

Today marks three years since Russia invaded Ukraine. Donald Trump could learn a lot about leadership from Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

This is truly shameful. Even China and Iran abstained. The US has put itself in the company of some of the worst states in the world - Russia, Belarus, North Korea. Hungary showing its true colours as Russia's Trojan horse in the EU as well.

Says it all really, the age of US international leadership is dead and buried.

George Orwell had a few choice words about pacifism when the world was last this threatened by fascists. "Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help that of the other."

🇬🇧🇺🇦 UK provides £4.5bn in military aid to Ukraine – more than ever, — PM Starmer 🇩🇰 Denmark - €270 million. 🇪🇸 Spain €1 billion per year.

OTD in 2022 Russian warship Moskva was told “go fuck yourself”. A short while later it fucked itself and sank. I remain a master strategist.

While Trump continues efforts to sell the free world to Russia in exchange for cash and a PR win, world leaders respond with a trip to Kyiv, to Maidan, where it all started.

For three years, the brave Ukrainian people have heroically defended their country against Putin’s war machine. Now, more than ever, we must stand firmly in support of our Ukrainian friends, resist Trump's stitch up with Putin and work with our European neighbours to defend freedom and democracy.

UK should do the same and pressure other European countries. This is now a vital security matter because of Trump’s antics and betrayal.

With Volodymyr Zelenskyy offering to resign in exchange for NATO membership, a new YouGov survey has shown that 62% of Britons would support Ukraine being admitted to NATO Support: 62% (no change from summer 2022) Oppose: 13% (+4) yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Expect to see a lot more of this 👇 in the coming months & years. If Europe is at least pretending to have a serious conversation about life without a US security guarantee, then the same conversation has to be had about tech dependence on the US. Whether anything will happen is another matter.

Just the two nazi salutes at CPAC thus far. Incase anyone was keeping count…

These people.

Trump loves Putin & Russia, but why? 3 alternative explanations: 1. The Kremlin pays him directly. 2. He was recruited by the KGB as Krasnov in Moscow in 1987. 3. He loves Putin & his repression, while hating democracy & the West. All of it is awful.

Britain can provide Ukraine a nuclear umbrella and Putin will immediately withdraw from Ukraine.

Every day, the goals become clearer: The point of DOGE is not efficiency, but regime change www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Russia: Propaganda inadvertently exposed scale of casualties. 252 soldiers from Stary Oskol killed in Ukraine, compared to 11 killed in Afghanistan. Total Russian KIA in Afghanistan: 15,000 Equates to around 350,000 Russian soldiers killed in the invasion of Ukraine so far.

Thousands are here outside the Russian embassy in London to say "Russian troops out of Ukraine!" After Trump's treachery, our Governments must provide Ukraine with all the military and financial aid other needs to defeat Russia and win a just peace. Europe can do this🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine

🇺🇦 "If you are so generous to Russia, why not give her a piece of your country? Why should any sovereign country satisfy Russia? Let me ask, on what basis does Russia deserve anything — especially someone else's territory?" - 🇵🇱 President Duda

Could we all, please, stop saying this is caused by social media? It isn’t. And suggesting it is dangerously distracts us from what matters most. Pol Pot didn’t have YouTube or Instagram. Hitler didn’t have Facebook or Twitter. Stalin didn’t have TikTok. A 🧵 /1.

The US Secretary of Agriculture thinks "biodiversity" is a DEI initiative. Here's all you need to understand American politics right now: 1. Think of the stupidest person in your life. 2. That person's in charge, now. 3. But they got stupider. 4. And it means people will get sick and die.

I’m increasingly of the view that whether media outlets call this a Nazi salute tells you everything you need to know about them. If they don’t have the courage to say things which can be proven simply by looking at them, how can they be trusted to hold the Trump admin to account on anything else?

Russian dissidents are being subjected to compulsory psychiatric treatment because of their political views, according to lawyers and human rights groups - a trend they say has gathered pace since the start of the war in Ukraine. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Reading all kinds of comments, I am surprised how many - mainly Americans - who have failed to realize that Trump and his underlings have killed off NATO. It is also sad to see that many Europeans (though fewer) are also unaware.

The statement led by Opora Civil Network and signed by 254 Ukrainian civil society organizations on the impossibility of holding democratic elections without real lasting peace. Pls help to share it widely. Ukraine is a democracy, we value it, we are dying to defend it. oporaua.org/en/vybory/st...

Interesting FT article by Elisabeth Braw about the irrelevance of the US in the Baltic Sea and how this is likely to evolve elsewhere with the mean & unpredictable Trump. www.ft.com/content/d72e...

Three years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a hundred miles from Moscow we ask Russians about three years of war and whether they believe Donald Trump will help to end it. Producer @bentavener.bsky.social

Russia: To divert funds for the invasion of Ukraine, at least 160 state hospitals, clinics, medical centers, pharmacies, maternity hospitals and other medical institutions were closed in various regions in 2024. www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/02/20/v...
