😡🤬🇷🇺❗️ In a brutal overnight assault from June 5 to 6, Russia launched 400+ drones and 40+ missiles on Kyiv and other regions, killing six and harming civilians. The attack, a retaliation for Ukrainian strikes on Russian bases, marks a grave escalation and blatant targeting of civilian infrastructure.

Did you know? Rua do Carmo in Lisbon was filled with children’s clothes splattered in red and scattered toys on 6 June. A powerful installation by civil society groups, created from donated items, marked Portugal’s Children’s Day and called attention to the loss of innocent lives. #Lisbon 🇵🇹🇪🇺 #Gaza 🇵🇸

Chancellor Merz: "If we had Ukraine as member in NATO, which was applied in 2008, and the Americans gave support to that, the French and the German government were against it. You can again speculate, would this war had happened? #Ukraine was then a big nuclear power⤵️

Did anyone know this Friday is the annual National Gun Violence Awareness Day (first Friday in June) in the USA, when people are encouraged to wear orange to show solidarity and raise awareness? You probably didn’t. Because even BBC World News spent time “reporting” on the Trump-Musk message feud.

I wrote this because I was already fearful that our arrogant and conceited defence sector would believe they didn't need to learn from the Ukrainians fighting on the front lines. The Ukrainians are the world leaders in this form of warfare. We must humbly learn from them.

20th anniversary of the constitution that never was… 😢🇪🇺 In 2005, French & Dutch voters sank the EU constitution. A setback for deeper integration. Yes, the Union works, albeit slowly. I just wish we spoke of it as 𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 - a shared project we live in, shape together, and take pride in. #IamEuropean

According to a poll, “55% of Britons now say the nation was wrong to vote to leave the EU in 2016, with the same proportion saying they would support rejoining. Just 11% believe Brexit has been more of a success than a failure.”

Globally, it’s no longer about Trump. It’s about MAGA. As long as MAGA is around to vote for destabilising dipshits, the world cannot trust America. It won’t be because of Trump that American power declines globally, he’s just a symptom. It will be because of MAGA.

THIRTY-FIVE YEARS 🇨🇳🥀 On June 4, 1989, China’s army crushed peaceful calls for freedom in Tiananmen Square. Troops opened fire on unarmed protesters. Hundreds — perhaps thousands — died. #Remember the courage of those who stood for hope and the silence that followed. #Tiananmen35 #NeverForget

📌U.S. intelligence vetted by among others, MARCO RUBIO, laid out that Putin helped put Trump in office. That it is regularly ignored by our press in the context of NATO and the War in Ukraine is shoddy, and ISN'T journalism. It is essential background, and informs Trump's dealings in the region.

Whatever damage putin does to Ukraine or kill Ukrainians in the retaliation tяump boasts about being "let in on" that constitute a warcrime makes tяump complicit as he did not warn putin against it. tяump should be indicted by the Hague in conjunction with putin, lavrov, medvedev, peskov......
