We have no more time for words. Europe needs plans. Here’s one: Even 100 European jets protecting the skies over western Ukraine would have greater impact than deploying 10,000 European ground troops, with less cost and less risk to personnel’s lives. Europe can make this happen.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Has anyone considered just telling the Americans that we've already paid for the AUKUS submarines and they probably just lost the receipt? They're way too busy to check.

War is a rough and cruel teacher, against your will, even when you cry, and fight, it still teaches you , so much. That every second is precious. That everything can end, change, in the most unbelievable way, at any point.

Trump’s most deranged outrageous statements and autocratic goals are just cover to distract from his regular outrageous statements and autocratic goals.

Tens and hundreds of thousands of Georgians don’t sleep for almost two weeks, stay out in cold, often get immersed in water cannons and gas under cold, then go to work every day to get the little income they have, and then again to the rallies. It’s a lot of personal sacrifice.

Remember that anti imperialism needs westerners to explain to Syrians that in fact the Kremlin is not just "ISIS with an air force" & that they, who've lived under our bombs for 8 years, are wrong to decide for themselves what constitutes an improvement. Tweet accordingly please.

The collapse of the Assad regime is NOT an event in the West's domestic culture war. We're so polarised that we now treat international events as though they weren't real. This is a real story affecting real people with Syrian and global drivers of change.
