It’s in Europe’s interest to put sanctions on Israel (and on any ‘charities’ supporting illegal settlements.

🔥 FT calls for sanctions on Israel. “The Bank of Israel invests about a quarter of its relatively large stock of reserves in Europe, which a freeze would make unavailable for their financial stabilisation function and could in time be put towards any compensation due to Palestinians.”

What, the, hell. These guys are kitted out like they're ready to re-enact Neptune Spear. Buckets have NVG brackets with armatures, Peltor Comtacs, bro closer to the camera has a strobe up top, dude in back has a suppressed subgun with plenty of rail furniture. This is horseshit.

This guy is not a propagandist. He is a politically savvy military operator, but he does not earn his living spouting vitriol on TV. His statement about Russia taking Eastern Europe is delivered dispassionately as if stating a self-evident fact. Now he is the commander of Russia's ground forces.

Brilliant from @mortenmorland.bsky.social on yesterday's UK-EU Summit. And why those shouting 'betrayal' are, thankfully, no longer the adults in the room.

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords. Like if she needs to go. RT if she has to go.
